Epic Wants Huge Leap In Hardware

 

Epic has said that it wants the next generation of consoles to make a huge leap in terms of the hardware it uses. “You should only replace the hardware when you can make a dramatic leap in quality, not just 2X or 3X. It has to be huge and fundamentally new,” the studio said recently. "They put in extra memory [last time] and that is one of the reasons we were able to make Gears of War look so compelling. Without that extra memory, we would have far less space for details. Both Microsoft and Sony are working on new consoles, but they won’t be out, according to the companies, until about 2014.
