A little over a month ago Tim Sweeney, founder of Epic Games, shared his controversial opinion that PCs aren’t good for games, in addition he also confirmed that Unreal Engine 4 was in the works and that the engine will "exclusively target the next console generation." Many PC gamers therefore thought they were getting the shaft. CVG was able to speak with Mark Rein, and the vice president of Epic Games shot down allegations that the engine would not appear on the PC and clarified what Sweeney meant.

"When Tim Sweeney was talking about Unreal Engine 4 ... he mentioned something along the lines of it being exclusively for the next generation of consoles… what he meant was, it won’t run on this generation of consoles," said Rein. He thinks the idea of Unreal Engine 4 not coming to the PC is absurd considering the fact that the engine is built on PCs.

What about Sweeney’s remarks that the engine will first appear on consoles? Rein said this is nothing new considering Unreal Engine 3 also debuted on the consoles.

Although there have been many talks coming out of Epic Games’ camp regarding PC gaming being in a state of "disarray," Rein was able to shed some light on the industry’s woes, particularly hardware vendor problems, and reiterated the company’s optimistic stance on PC gaming in our past interview here.
