In terms of pictures they haven't got much on UE4 apart from the mountain, fire demo, a helmet and Project Shield render. Early days of next-gen will include cross-gen games or use heavily modified versions of UE3. Sweeney doesn't know what a next-gen game with $100m budget will look like but he assures us that it will be insane. He talks about the resurgence of the mid-tier game due to digital downloads and says you'll no longer need $100m to make AAA games. He talks about tradeoffs in resolution and whether you use anti-aliasing versus pure graphical horsepower. They asked about multisampling and he said "it's complicated I'm afraid we don't have an answer I can give you." Eventually UE4 will support DX9 and 10, end of live streaming from optical media will end pop-in. They are abandoning UnrealScript and exposing the engine through C++ and for artists through the Kismet editor.

The teaser is Chibi Liara, clearly.

Edit:

Any info on what's in the UE4 article?

That sure looks like a Chao to me.

I guess Sonic Adventure 3 probably is a thing, then.

Edit: Wait, or a slime?

A perfectly fair score for a game that was too afraid to do anything new with the IP, and regressed a little in some ways.

It's definitely a Chao, which confirms SA3.

Does the magazine usually preview games that we're not sure will come out in the West? In this case, Yakuza 5.

The eyes don't really look like Chao eyes to me, but the mouth is roughly correct, unlike a slime.

Dead Space 3 is a strong 7.

It is the least of the trilogy and it's save point system alone should keep it no higher than a 7.

Interesting. Looks like the next gen compromises are already being mentioned upfront. Also good to know that AAA games' budgets can be scaled down due to easier development process.

Pertaining streaming, what exactly does "end of live streaming from optical media" entail? Does he mean that given both next gen consoles are likely to have HDD by default, it would include mandatory installation of games which will alleviate the "pop in" related issues? (this one is a big news).

I think he is hinting at that, "will die with the end of live streaming of game data from optical media" is all he says on the matter.

The only logical explanation is streaming from HDD to eliminate the issue. Thanks for posting that quote btw.
