Substantial Next gen jump confirmed- EPIC Games

http://www.nowgamer.com/news/1807753/nextgen_will_be_a_substantial_leap_over_the_current_generation_says_epic.html

Don't know why posters here thought different. Sony and MS wouldn't bother releasing new consoles if it wasn't a huge difference. One week away from greatness.:cool:

I hope so. But you know what's sad, when he says high end PCs are already there. I am looking forward to seeing what the next consoles bring, devs are usually able to squeeze more out of the hardware on consoles than they can on PC due to the nature of them, so I am expecting a lot.

But this article also smells like promoting their own engine a bit too much instead of just talking about the consoles

Poor Nintendo fans.

So I expect at least 1920x1080 render resolution and things like 16xAF, 8xAA (or high quality AA), soft dynamic shadows on everything in a scene, particle lighting, particle motion blur, per object motion blur, tesselation, volumetric fog, fog shadows, advanced HDR and more...

...all in one scene in one game.

Oh yeah and 60 FPS or thereabouts. Get rid of this 30 FPS crap.

What does he mean by substantial? Big? Small?faizan_faizan

Substantial means a large amount. So big difference.

MS will bring the heat, Sony though, lol. Not at all. Badosh

lolololol shut up.

What does he mean by substantial? Big? Small?faizan_faizan

Substantial means large

I hope epic has a quality jump to go hand in hand.

another gen of nothing but gears of war would be total dog sh*t.

Basically PC stuff. And I expect the same, 1080p has to be standard, most if not all games should be very close to 60 fps too and no more damn jaggies. We also need to see a lot more dynamic lighting and no pre-baked crap. And lastly, some decent textures.

I'd like them to shake the idea of the forced cover shooter. Gears is by far the most boring and stale series i've played this gen.

eh, it was fair.

I was mainly referring to their major new IP, which of course from this gen was gears.

This is my prediction: If you play on PC now and max games out, next gen the leap won't seem that big..bobbetybob

This post pretty much nails it. 

From PC to consoles won't seem like much, you would likely play it and say "What's the big deal?" from a visual standpoint

But from current consoles to the next will be quite large. Like going from a PS360 to a full kitted out PC now. Higher resolutions with crystal clear images and textures and framerates to make everything seem a lot more fluid

Substantial means a large amount. So big difference.

A substantial jump in games has never been in question. Going from 7 year old tech, which is currently roughly 10 x weaker than high end PC's (maybe more) the question is just how much of a substantial jump that is going to be.

A gain of 5x the power of a 360 or PS3 would be a massive improvement

I'm even more excited what this will mean for PC games. seeing how a large majority of all current pc games are multiplat.

So I expect at least 1920x1080 render resolution and things like 16xAF, 8xAA (or high quality AA), soft dynamic shadows on everything in a scene, particle lighting, particle motion blur, per object motion blur, tesselation, volumetric fog, fog shadows, advanced HDR and more...

...all in one scene in one game.

-Unreal-

If they bump current games to true 1080p with AA and 60fps, there will be no more power to do anything else.

sony/ MS wouldn't bother making new console if there wasn't?

umm you should look up the facts that no big publishers want to sink big amounts of money into new ips because the consoles been out for long, games sales are down, list goes on...

Crysis 3 is where im starting to see a next gen look in pc games. Aint nothing touches Crysis 3 in graphics. But thats comparable to the 4 year gen leap of Xbox to Xbox 360. So this 8 year jump in graphics Xbox 720 will have, will definetly blow Crysis 3 out of the water. 360 to 720 will be like N64 to 360. 

unless if it close to the level of avatar in real-time than I dont think there's anything that might impress me.

Yeah, anyone remember when Epic Games was running a PC tech demo at Sony's E3 in 05 & claiming it was on PS3? nothing but lies

People forget too easy, wait til the consoles actually come out

Wii U can run Unreal 4 Engine.

Wii U can also run Cry Engine 3.

Not a sheep. Just pointing out that it can do the same thing.

All you need to know is in the first sentence of the article:

"Next generation consoles, or high-end platforms, will offer a gamers a substantial leap over the current generation according to Epic founder Tim Sweeney."

Guess what he means with "high end platforms".  

Spoiler: PC.

Doing it well is another question entirely.

There's no denying the wiiu is in for another significant power difference.

Did you read them? Here's a quote from CryTek themselves: Crytek: "CryEngine 3 'Beautiful' on Wii U"

So I'm going to assume coming them that it's running more than "well".
