Epic VP Says PC Has 'Shot By' Consoles in Capabilities

Posted July 11, 2011 by Ben Strauss

Epic Vice President Mark Rein is reminding gamers that the world of PC is making something of a comeback lately.  With the burgeoning capabilities seen in engines like DICE’s Frostbite 2, Crytek’s CryENGINE and Epic’s own Unreal, there is certainly a lot going for the PC crowd.

"We're at the stage in the life of the consoles where the PC has shot by them in terms of capabilities," Rein said to Eurogamer.  "Don't forget every game that's ultimately built is built on a PC. PCs are always going to be the tools through which all games get made."

"With the PC you can simulate the future -- you can put enough hardware in a PC to show you what a future console will look like."
