IndustryGamers recently ran a story with Epic Games President Mike Capps in which the executive talked about the huge impact that smartphones and tablets are having on the games industry. Epic reached out to us today to clarify that they're still very much invested in future consoles and the PC.
While mobile is accelerating, it's not about to replace the upcoming generation of consoles - PS4, Xbox 720, etc. What Capps was referring to as 'next-gen' was simply console hardware much further in the future. Epic called its real-time Samaritan demo back at GDC a "love letter to hardware manufacturers" because the company still very much believes in powerful PC and console gaming. And hopefully we'll see the results of that with a brand-new Unreal game, an Epic franchise which Capps has said they'd like to do more with.
