Unreal 4 Engine Could be Available as Early as 2012

By: Jon Christensen on July 27th, 2008 at4:26 pm

The talent over at Epic Games have been developing the Unreal Engine version 4 and designed it for the next-next-gen consoles. Epic president Mike Capps said the following about the engine:

“We’ve got Unreal (Engine) 4 in production right now… it’s going to be in the next console generation - our rough guess is 2012 (to) 2018.”

Considering how much Epic improved Unreal 3.5, I can’t imagine how good the forth will look. For all the late adopters hoping to see maybe the possibility of Unreal 4 on this current generation, keep dreaming, Mark Rein said the following about the chances, “When Tim Sweeney was talking about Unreal Engine 4 … he mentioned something along the lines of it being exclusively for the next generation of consoles… what he meant was, it won’t run on this generation of consoles”.

Hopefully the world doesn’t end on December of 2012, because I want to see.

Haha neither do I.  More than likely due to my bias perceptions of the PC gamer haha.

LOL I actually own more then that I just haven´t felt like going through all of the games I own yet and put them in my profile, I have PS1 and PS 2 games too and someday I will find the will to add the whole of my/our library into my profile.

There is actually a few games that I like on PC but they aren´t that many.
