Slimebeast said: So much hate towards Epic in here, which I think is awkward coming from a core gaming community. Epic is with us, not against us. Everything companies say is not cynical. What if they just like to get powerful consoles to allow them to make what they're most passionate about, advanced graphics? |
There are PCs for that you know. If they want it on consoles, there must be other, much more important reasons than "We want to be able to make games with high-end graphics". It likely has something to do with such a passion so as to want to bringing bleeding-edge to the masses, or some kind of corporate agenda (which I doubt).
Either way, bringing bleeding-edge HW to gen 8 is not business-wise for any of the big 3, especially not MS, who could be left out of the multiplatform loop and get graphics for the lowest common denominator, rendering their bleeding-edge lead nearly without return.
