Except it's running on Unreal Engine 3.

Epic is set to reveal its proposal for the next generational leap in gaming. Epic’s real-time Unreal Engine 3-powered demonstration takes atmosphere, effects and human characters to new heights. This completely new, high-end demo will be shown to select licensees, partners, prospective customers and the media behind closed doors.

 

“This technology demonstration is nothing short of breathtaking. It reminds me of when we first showed Unreal Engine 3 to the world and people were amazed,” said Epic Games President Dr. Michael Capps. “It’s like seeing the Unreal Engine all over again for the very first time.”

 

Epic will provide presentations for licensees, partners and prospective customers on the half hour each day of the expo. Hours for Epic’s booth are the same as expo hours: Wednesday, March 2, 10:00 a.m.– 6:00 p.m., Thursday, March 3, 10:00 a.m.– 6:00 p.m., and Friday, March 4, 10:00 a.m.– 3:00 p.m. Demos are scheduled to run on the half hour each day and appointments are not required but priority will be given to those with appointments. In addition, Epic will host free advanced training sessions for UE3 licensees on topics ranging from content creation best practices to rapid prototyping with Unreal Kismet.

Epic is the only company who wants a next gen console just because they want sell middleware. Even the console manufacturers don't want a next gen yet.

Ms and sony will be probably be doing a nintendo next gen anyway so I guess it makes sense that they are using the old engine to show off the "next gen XperienZ."

Yup, Epic could make money immediately off it whereas MS and Sony would once again be in position to lose a bunch of money. Given HDTV's continual pickup rate, I think this gen has more than a few more years left in it. Plus the economy is slowly recovering from a recession lol, no point in releasing a $600+ console.

not to mention the dozens of developers sank by the demands of the HD era.

Epic might be one of only about 10 houses that could conceivably pour the manpower and dollars into a next-gen game at this point, but too many others are struggling just to get through this generation of hardware.
