Mark Rein: PlayStation 3 will benefit despite no Gears of War

August 23, 2007 in News comments 9

While PS3 fanboys likely turn their noses up at the possibility of playing Gears of War ("Bah! It's no Killzone 2!!), the PS3 would certainly benefit from the Epic Games titan's arrival. Sadly, that ain't gonna happen. But Mark Rein of Epic Games says it's not a problem, PS3 owners will still be getting top notch stuff from the studio because of lessons learned throughout the 360 version of Gears.

In an interview with Eurogamer the Epic Games boss explained that the Microsoft Xbox 360's head start over the PS3 has given the studio time to hone its skills where the Unreal Engine 3 is concerned (UE3 being many developers' first choice as a tool to produce next-generation games), which can only end up "benefiting" PS3 owners:

"We're a little ahead on PlayStation 3 compared to where we were at this time on Xbox 360, and what I mean by that is our code and our level of completeness, and that's because we have shipped a game with Unreal Engine 3 already," said Rein.

      There isn't going to be anything taken from Gears of War. They will just be using the same engine.

      Understand, they AREN'T taking from GoW, they're using the same engine. The same one that's powering more games than it should.

      Developers need to stop being lazy and design their own shit.
