Epic: Unreal Engine 4 tech demo under NDA "wasn't our decision"

Epic Games hopes that the public masses can see what all the fuss is about regarding the studio’s next-generation game engine, Unreal Engine 4, but there’s no set date.

It was shown behind closed doors and once an NDA was signed, but it wasn’t Epic’s decision. The next line of home consoles will ”blow us all away,” says VP Mark Rein.

The developer hopes a public showing of UE4 could arrive later this year but it’s ”not up to us” says Epic. They’re ”constantly pushing” platform holders to adopt meatier hardware.

”There’s no end in sight for what we can do with unlimited technology. So we’re always going to be pushing and I’m sure we’ll be pushing for more than is possible to give,” said Rein. Previously the studio boasted that UE4 would require ten times the power of Xbox 360 in order to run efficiently. Are you eager to see the visual evolution?
