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.”

So... it makes Flash games?

That sounds good.. That could mean we have a lot of potential from independent developers to create the games they want to make instead of having to directly compete with triple A titles and publishers.

That also means a lot of people who aren't qualified could end up making shite games, and we fall into the trap of paying for those games, resulting in damage to the gaming market.

Who knows.

We will see it on next wednesday.

sounds cool and not so expensive.
