Epic-chefen Tim Sweeney har delt sin mening om Project Scorpio og PlayStation Neo, de kommende og mere kraftfulde udgaver af Xbox One og PlayStation 4. I et interview med Gamestop siger Sweeney at han er fuld af forventning over de muligheder, de stærkere konsoller giver.
Helt specifict er han begejstret fordi udviklerne får kraftigere hardware at udvikle til, uden at de skal starte helt forfra og glemme alt hvad de har lært fra de eksisterende konsoller.
"If we incrementally upgrade the hardware, then we can bring more performance to gamers without wiping the slate clean. That's incredibly valuable," siger Sweeney. "To be able to invest the kind of money it takes to build a high-end game today requires a base of tens of millions of users. By doing these incremental updates, the industry can move forward technologically at a much faster pace without those business challenges."
Sweeney sammenligner de opgraderede konsoller med PC'en, idet spillerne får det bedste fra begge verdener:
"I think it's really the ideal model: bringing the best upgradability of the PC with the reliability of the console kept, so you're never going to have to deal with driver problems on a console, but you will get the newer hardware."
