Interview with Tim Sweeney

Other teams are also hard at work using his engine. "There are already several UE3 titles underway. We're developing our next-generation game, three teams are already using it in their development process, and a bunch of others are about to start," said Sweeney. Presumably one of these is Vanguard, a massively multiplayer RPG in development at Sigil Games. No doubt announcements on the rest are coming.

Which consoles? Sweeney was cagy. "We can't really announce anything right now -- I shouldn't really use the plural yet. We have the engine running really well on the development kit for one next-generation console." Draw your own conclusions, but thanks to the Unreal engine's strong PC heritage, we'd speculate it's Microsoft's Xbox successor. "We've really gone all-out to support the next-generation feature set," he continued.

Obviously the next - generation he's talking about MUST be Xenon if it is any of the big three.. Launch title anyone?

 

[Ghost]

Well Xenon as at the moment high spec PC isnt it? None of the custom stuff is in the current dev kits, so i wouldnt be supprised if this was true.

 

[Slo]

Yep, soundsl ike it .

 

[Kon Tiki]

So is Xenon going to kill off PC gaming?

 

[Joe]

xenon will fly off the shelves.

 

[TTP]

So is Xenon going to kill off PC gaming?

No. I actually think the two platforms will "merge". At least this is where the whole XNA project seems to lead to.

 

[Zilch]

Presumably one of these is Vanguard, a massively multiplayer RPG in development at Sigil Games.

What? That game is ass-ugly.

 

[Fafalada]

Well Xenon as at the moment high spec PC isnt it?

Yes and no. No - it's not a Windows PC. Yes, since Mac is also a PC

No. I actually think the two platforms will "merge". At least this is where the whole XNA project seems to lead to.

Which would also serve to kill off console as a platform You know, "if you can't beat them, create a new market without them" kind of thing.

 

[Sagitario]

"if you can't beat them, create a new market without them"

I don't know why... but it made me laugh...

 

[hooo]

xenon will fly off the shelves.

Harddrive dropped, wings added. Teh angelic.

 

[GigaDrive]

Xenon is gonna rock, especially because it is NOT just a slightly customized PC, this time.

 

[Sirolf]

I can't wait to have Xenon!!
I have a very strong feeling that it will be "THE" next-generation hardware..With MS having a foot in the pc and consoles areas,we will see the best of both world.

 

[TheGreenGiant]

xenon/xbox2 - HOME TO FPSs...

oh wait... xbox - HOME TO FPSss...

 

[shpankey]

Well Xenon as at the moment high spec PC isnt it? None of the custom stuff is in the current dev kits, so i wouldnt be supprised if this was true.

What PC do you have that has a 3.5 gHz triple cored IBM processor, that allows specific calls from the CPU to GPU and has a unified memory architecure? Cause I wanna buy one if it's out there.

So is Xenon going to kill off PC gaming?

I would say yes, but not exactly how you think. Basically Xenon will replace the PC for gaming, because it will have VGA support natively and will probably come with keyboard and mouse support... thereby replacing the PC for many people.

 

[Luscious LeftFoot]

It's funny how when xbox first come out Microsoft was all adamant about it not being a pc...

 

[DopeyFish]

It's funny how when xbox first come out Microsoft was all adamant about it not being a pc...

And it still isn't a PC.

 

[MattCoz]

What PC do you have that has a 3.5 gHz triple cored IBM processor, that allows specific calls from the CPU to GPU and has a unified memory architecure? Cause I wanna buy one if it's out there.

He's talking about the DevKit which is simply a dual processor G5 system with an ATi X800.

 

[neptunes]

what if they ment the Playstation 3?

 

[DSN2K]

PC><XNA><Xenon

 

[Daxter Too]

Xenon is awsome
Awesome is Xenon
