he Unreal Engine, which has been built within Epic Games, is the single most used video game engine in today's releases. Currently being built upon in the labs at Epic Games is the next iteration of the Unreal Engine, which will be the Unreal Engine 4. In the presence of this technology, Epic Games has a designated idea of what the next generation of consoles need to be able to provide in order to deliver the type of performance that they are building their engine for.

With this being said, Epic Games has recently caught a glimpse of what the specs for next-gen consoles, PS4 and Xbox 720, will look like. In response, they have stated that they are not going to be enough to provide the type of performance that they are building their next engine for, and are pushing Sony and Microsoft to put more performance into their next systems. Below, you will find a quote that was given by Epic Games previously that implied what type of performance they wanted from next gen console. Sadly, it has appeared that, as Epic Games has recently been shown the specs for these consoles, that they will not be living up to expectations.
