Epic on the industry’s giant leap to next-gen

[HoloDust]

The next-generation games being made right now with Unreal Engine 4 are a substantial leap above current console tech, says Epic Games’ Tim Sweeney.

“[UE4] improves art production, content creation, iteration between programmers and artists… One artist working for six months can build a game with Unreal Engine 4 without actually programming anything and ship it, something on the scale of Angry Birds,” explained Sweeney.

“And when you get to digital distribution and new methods of monetisation that don’t require paying huge amounts of money upfront, you have this huge potential to reinvent the game industry.”
