DR Interview with Mark Rein about Consoles
Daily Radar has an interesting article with Mark Rein, VP of Epic Games, about the future of gaming as he sees it. Apparently, Epic has no plans to move to a console paradigm anytime soon. A pair of intriguing quotes:
We have no problem with people shifting their focus away from the PC or watering their PC product down to the lowest common denominator -- it just leaves more opportunity for us!
I can't see any logical reason why the PC platform is going to be any less vibrant than it is today. I don't see anything stepping up to the plate to replace the PC I own now or the next one I'm going to buy, or the next one after or the next one after that, or even the next one after that. I think that covers me being a devoted PC user for the next four or five years. So as long as I have a PC that can play games, I'm going to be playing games on my PC. I want a keyboard, I want a mouse, I even want a video camera.
The rest of the article is definitely worth a read. Thanks to Harry Al-Shakarchi for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 16:11:05 UTC)
