So basically that effiency means that you get twice the better picture for less than twice the cost.

This highlights why this constant "next gen will be 1080p at 60fps" talk is a bit primitive and shows that journalists and the gaming public have a simplified understanding of graphics.

Because you gave some great proof for why we won't see many games that run in 60fps in next gen and why we won't see 1080p as a true standard either. It's often simply too expensive and many devs will rather choose techniques you just described, and other techniques, that give better returns from the processing power spent.

I can't wait to see what the next Xbox and Playstation can do.

Sony will blow my mind, if they show Uncharted 4 when they announce PS4 in 2013.

UE4 will be used by western development teams of SE.

People seriously need to stop bunching the Wii U with the PS3 and 360 and start putting it with the "PS4" and "720" because we all know there's a big enough difference between the Wii U and PS3/360 for them to not really be in the same league.

Actually we know very little about Wii U specs to make comparisons.

That doesn't mean that we don't know that it's clearly stronger than the PS3 and 360.  That's just like saying "I don't know the specs of the 3DS, so we can't say it's more powerful than the DS."  This is much more relevant when the 3DS was still to be released, but it's still a relevant statement.  We've seen that the Wii U can do more, and we also know that the launch titles for a console are never the best it can do.

This is actually an excellent point.

Unreal engine 4 is probably gonna be used by the eidos teams.

Agni is still for the japanese in-house development.

It's similar to bioware for instance,

they use Eclipse/Lycium Engine for Dragon Age and Unreal for Mass Effect.

SE's used unreal 3 engine before with like last remnant. Each different engine has strengths and weaknesses. As well as localization issues. For instance with the Last Remnant they had issues with the instructions. The same probably applies for SE luminous/Crystal/Agnis going over to english.

I'd guess this is probably for the eidos teams.

 And depending what a game is, if you're making a game tailored to an engines weakness you're going to be spending a lot more time modifying that engine.

While I believe Wii U will be capable of doing more than what current consoles can.   Nothing that was shown on Wii U until now, looks any better than the games we already play on PS3 and X360.

But still, I am very interested in what Zelda could look like in HD.

they also licensed UE3 for The Last Remnant despite developing the Crystal Tools engine, that team may prefer to use UE again. They also seem to be moving to UE for their mobile stuff like Demons' Score.

They also said that Lumious Engine is just for RPGs nothing else so they will be using other engines, they also licensed Unity a while back. Also aparently Theif 4 will be a UE3 games and it seems likely that Eidos Montreal and their new sister studio Square Enix Montreal will use UE going forward, tho aparently Epic Games Japan signed the new deal so Japanese studios will be using it.
