Computer Games Magazine heeft een belangrijk interview online staan met Mark Rein, bekend van Epic Games, in het interview heeft men het voornamelijk over de nieuwe generatie games van Epic Games en de nieuwe grafische toepassingen die gaan komen. Hier een stukje van het interview:
Computer Games – By the time the first Unreal Engine 3 games start to ship, what does Epic expect from graphics chip companies like NVIDIA and ATI and microproccessors from Intel and AMD and how does Epic plan to support their new technologies?
Mark Rein – We already have a pretty good idea what we’ll see from the graphics cards vendors but we’re under NDA on that so let’s switch to the CPU vendors. Both Intel and AMD are now fully up to speed with 64bit computing and Microsoft recently announced that their 64bit Windows XP will be out very soon. The next big thing in CPUs are multi-core CPUs. The timing on these are pretty good because next generation console systems share a multi-core philosophy so generally speaking the effort we’re making to divide computing up among multiple threads on next generation console systems will also pay off for PC users. Everything is looking very rosy right now.
