DICE 2005: Epic on Xbox 2
More powerful than a PC?
By Hilary Goldstein
February 1, 2005 - During a panel discussion on next generation power, Epic
Games' President, Mark Rein, revealed some interesting tidbits about
next-generation consoles. First, Rein revealed Epic was working on two
next-gen games for Xbox 2 and/or PS3. Rein says that Unreal-level graphics
that eat up 5% of a PC's processing power can chomp a massive 80% out of the
current generation of consoles. However, having worked on these two
unannounced titles, Rein noted the next-gen machines actually surpassed the
power of a current PC.
Though no one can speak specifically on either PS3 or Xbox 2, numerous
sources have told IGN that Microsoft and Sony are set to deliver consoles
worthy of the title "Next Generation."
Look for an announcement of one of Epic's two next-gen games on Wednesday.
