Unreal engine 4 targeting for consoles, not PC's

Not a big deal since they stuffed up UT3 so baddly and the way TF2 look i barely care how much shiney BS they put on everything.

One thing some of you people are forgetting, EVERY engine is built on a PC, and is designed on a PC, how is it not something that would run on a PC? IMO, the Source and CryEngine 2 are better engines that don't suffer from the many problems UE3 face. As long as PC's can scale, they will ALWAYS outperform the limitations of console hardware.

Microsoft's successor for the Xbox 360, Sony's successor for the Playstation 3 - and if Nintendo ships a machine with similar hardware specs, then that also. PCs will follow after that.

So why are people making this into an issue? It's natural seing how they produce games for both consoles and PC. UE3 was after all developed for XBox 360, PS3 and PC, with UE4 following in its foot steps for future systems.

The first two games using UE3 were; Gears of War (timed exclusive for 360) and RoboBlitz (co-release for 360 and PC) -- only one year after 360's release.

[QUOTE="tader-salad"]Now if the Source engine2 goes the way of unreal engine 4, then I will be worried.rimnet00

I think we should be worried right now because if Source 2 really goes the same way as UE 4 then we're pretty much screwed.

There is absolutely zero reason for Valve to do anything like that. They are swiping themselves down with hundred dollar bills. Why on earth would they burn their cash-cow on the PC, which is STEAM/Source/Community.?

Because there's a good chance that they will make a bigger buck out of their game if it's on consoles.

Haha, ya... that makes perfect sense. Burn your bridges in order to gamble the future of your company. That would be smart.

That's like McDonald's CEO going: hey, lets turn into a Chinese Restaurant! Epic is doing average on the PC, which isn't good enough for a company of their size -- which is why they are turning to consoles, where they have clearly had recent success.

It kinda seems that everyone is doing great on consoles and most of them even brag about it how their game sales went beyond their expectations. You don't see that often on the PC.

This really going to come back around and bite them in the butt. Mark my words.LockeAteid

So... they're going to do what they've already beendoing?

This might have been big news 5 years ago, but I don't think anybody cares now. After all, did Epic abandon PC gaming, or did PC gaming abandon Epic?

The source engine is NOT better.JakeTD21

[QUOTE="JLF1"][QUOTE="PAF_FAISAL"]PC gamers wont accept rehashes is that why its not meant for the pc?JLF1

:lol: Have you ever played a PC game in your life? :lol: :lol: :lol: I bet your on freaking webtv right now :lol:

I've played tons of pc games and there is a lot of rehashes on the platform.

What is the huge innovation between CoC generals and CoC 3?
Was there any difference in the gamplay between HL2:EP1 and EP2?
Is there going to be any kind of innovation in the genre in Starcraft 2 or is the game only going to be Starcraft 1 with better graphics?


Don't mistake me, I love PC games but when somebody claim that there isn't any kind if rehashes on the system i laugh long and hard.

What is Epic going to do? Just make Gears games?Tiefster

In light of recent events, I'm unfazed about this news. Although, Epic's recent actions don't make a dime of sense. To sign up to a PC game alliance and then announce that their next engine will be console centric is..... odd.

It still dosen't mean they wont be making PC games though. If they're targeting consoles, it dosen't mean that this engine wont be compatible with PC's. Far from it, Epic will still optimise their PC games (I assume), like they've always done.

The UE3 engine is popular on consoles, whilst PC centric developers aren't as interested. Thier role in the PC market has changed, so it's the best move for Epic.

[QUOTE="Gh0st_Of_0nyx"]Hmmm I wonder why....:lol:jangojay

Because you guys treat an average developer like gods?

They haven't been PC exclusive since... dreamcast?. And they slow dewendled thier way into averageness.

Unreal... Decent, not the best or most innovative thing out.. above average but under greatness

Unreal tournament - WoW yes! Best thing since quake

Unreal 2k3 ... average.. plays like original with new graphics

Unreal 2 .. terrible

Unreal 2k4... Damn good come back epic!

Unreal 3... Damn..... unreal 2k4.. again :S

This is exactly how they look on the PC side of things

[QUOTE="Gh0st_Of_0nyx"][QUOTE="Vandalvideo"][QUOTE="Gh0st_Of_0nyx"] Im just a bit shocked that hermits are hating on the Ureal 4 engine and no one knows what that engine is even going to look like. Its like since it's being made for console 1st it must suck :roll: Vandalvideo

[QUOTE="Gh0st_Of_0nyx"]

It's funny seeing all this hermit hate go towards epic now that they switched sides :lol:

Last year when the found out gears of war was coming to the PC they were all "we have the superior version lems have fun with your mod less gimped gears lol" Now epic has jumped ship and hermits are all hating it all of a sudden :lol:

MadExponent

It wasn't all of a sudden. LoL. The fact does still remain though Gears is best on PC, but it still sucks... :/

unreal went scrubfest i guess

there will always be somthing better on the pc so im not worried.

I always though of them as average, because most of their games are just that... average, PC side at least. They really have two gems, Unreal Tournamet, the original and UT2k4, that's it the rest of games are average or terrible, so it's not like I'm just going around calling them average baselessly, They are average to me so I won't really miss em much.

When developers ditch the PC for consoles, you have no one to blame but yourselves.

Well then I agree that it was sudden cause UT3 sucked complete ass.

The source engine is NOT better.JakeTD21

it's definitly much more popular among PC devs

This is the equivalent of a kick in the nuts for hermits. Abandoned.turgore

How so? UE3.0 debuted two years ago and to this day the only PC-centric game that uses it is a freeware ageia tech demo.

A kick in the nuts? Sure..... pc devs kicked Epic in the nuts it seems
