Epic Games interested in Revolution
In a transformation that's likely to be reflective of many a narrow-minded gamer, Epic Games' VP, Mark Rein, has rapidly gone from gimmick-loathing skeptic to accepting and interested party with regards to Nintendo next-generation offering. In a recent CVGinterview, Mr. Rein stated that not only was he looking forward to seeing the Revolution's technical specifications, but that his company had contacted Nintendo and expressed interest in the machine. Now, whether or not this could be considered as legitimate interest and not just a subtle marketing band-aid is up for debate.
We've heard plenty of rumors about Unreal Engine 3 running on the Revolution, rumors which now seem rather rickety when held up against this interview. After all, if Epic's graphical tour-de-force was really ready for the system, why would the engine developer still be awaiting information on the system's capabilities? I'm no technical genius, but I think it's fair to say that you'd have to know a machine's specifications before you could get your brand new graphics engine working on it. Or is that an unrealistic expectation? (Ack! A pun!)
