Epic har inte övergett PC

Jobbar även med mobiler och tablets

I en intervju med Rock, Paper, Shotgun säger Epics högste chef Mark Rein att det är en myt att utvecklaren håller på att överge PC som format.

"Don't confuse Gears of War with everything we do", säger han och tillägger: "Bulletstorm is PC, PS3 and Xbox 360, and you'll see when it comes out, it will be a full-blown, oh-my-god amazing PC game."

Utöver det berättar Epic att man tror stenhårt på att mobila plattformar som Apples iOS och Android kommer vara väldigt viktiga i framtiden. Därför prioriterar man att se till att få ut en fullt fungerande Unreal-grafikmotor även på dessa båda format.

Även om PC fortfarande är grunden för Epic, säger Reins avslutningsvis att man just nu även jobbar på ett spel till mobiler och en tablet. Exakt vad det är, vill han dock inte avslöja men tillägger att det kommer att ske inom en inte alltför avlägsen framtid.

Epic har inte övergett PC som format, säger högste chefen Mark Rein, tvärtom. Bulletstorm kommer visa att man fortfarande tror stenhårt på speldatorer, menar han.

    Varför får vi inte GOW 2 till PC då? Tror inte på detta alls. Dem har själva sagt att piratkopieringen är för stor på PC marknaden det var en av anledningarna till att GOW 2 aldrig kom till PC.

    Låter bra. Släpp Gears of War 2 och 3 till PC så tror jag er.


    Eller ja, nu misstänker jag att det förmodligen mest är Microsoft som har lyft ett eller tre fingrar för att se till att det inte släpps till PC, så att skylla på Epic blir kanske lite fel. Trist är det, i vilket fall.

    calle 888, nej det ar legitima skal till Epics konstanta skitsnack vilket Tosca redan poangterat genom diverse citat. Detta ar dock dessvarre inget nytt och spelare sasom utvecklare ar medvetna om denna trend.

    "Bulletstorm is a amazing PC-game because it even supports keyboard and mouse".

    Antar att det är skillnaden. Konsolport lär det väll bli i alla fall...

    hahaha skitsnack

    "There is a long life ahead for Unreal Engine 3. Version 4 will exclusively target the next console generation, 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." - Tim Sweeney, Founder of Epic Games

    "To be honest, and I'm going to cast a small pall on the industry here, I don't think you're going to get much higher until the next generation of consoles... just now we're just barely coming into the sweet spot of the next-gen consoles... We're at the point where it's viable to ship games on these next-gen consoles and it's going to be a gold mine for a couple of years... Publishers are generally putting their money where the highest return is, and in the past that's been on consoles and I think that's still the case." - Mark Rein, vice president of Epic Games


    "I think people would rather make a game that sells 4.5 million copies than a million and 'Gears' is at 4.5 million right now on the 360. I think the PC is just in disarray... what's driving the PC right now is 'Sims'-type games and 'WoW' and a lot of stuff that's in a web-based interface. You just click on it and play it. That's the direction PC is evolving into So for me, the PC is kind of the secondary part of what we're doing. It's important for us, but right now making AAA games on consoles is where we're at." - Cliff "CliffyB" Bleszinski, Design Director, Epic Games

    "...high-end videogames are suffering very much on the PC. Right now, it makes sense for us to focus on Xbox 360 for a number of reasons. Not least PCs with multiple configurations and piracy." - Cliff "CliffyB" Bleszinski, Design Director, Epic Games

    "Consoles will pretty much define what the next five years of games look like on the PC..." - Mark Rein, vice president of Epic Games

    Epic Games...patrask.
