CVG writes: Mark Rein, the man who spearheads the Unreal Engine licensing operation, was unreserved in his praise of the new Microsoft slate.
"Microsoft NAILS IT," he said on his personal Twitter account. "Surface looks AWESOME! Can't wait to get some Unreal Engine games on those babies!" he added.
Epic's VP & Co-Founder Mark Rein misses the Gears franchise, but he gave high praise to The Coalition for Gears of War 4 after playing it.
Only good things being said about it! Have to see exactly how good it is. Don't doubt they miss it though, sold gangbusters!
Yeah, mine is the same on Xbox and PS4 as my user name here. Always looking to add to my friends list on there
Early Access Friday... I may not have those days off but I'm bolting out of working and my Gears buds and I are going to cut some grubs up. Or massacre COG.
Then I suggest a change of Scenery like say Vancouver, Canada at Coalition studios .

"Years ago Cliff Bleszinski stood on stage and announced a new Xbox one exclusive title called Fortnite. However, we haven’t heard anything about the title until the final day of this year’s E3. In a conversation with Marc Rein on the final day of the event. When he was asked about Fortnite he stated" GamerFitnation
Lol this guy has NO idea what he's talking about. Gears of war is not a first person franchise, and Fortnite was not announced as an Xbox One exclusive, it wasn't even announced for any consoles in fact.
Yeah something sounds iffy here , they always insisted that Fortnite couldnt run on consoles back then , and that it was a lovechild for the pc community anyway , for the foreseeable future
Fortnite is is being developed for PC but is open to being on other consoles. Fortnite.com states it.
@Blackbible- what facepalm? Why mad? Bud, just admit you made a mistake and call it a day. I see no reason to defend bad journalism, your only as good as your source and you never even googled any information regarding this game, any quick 1 second search would tell you every thing posted was incorrect. Hell...the only thing correct in that story is that Epic is making Fortnite.
Gears is not a first person shooter, Epic never stated Fortnite was for console, in fact the very opposite, let alone coming exclusively to XONE.
I literally laughed reading that article as all this was news to me as I watched most the E3's for years and don't ever recall such a thing happening.
I mean...its good you changed it, but your site is completely questionable when any member of N4G can do your job for you.
We are correcting your whole article, thus....why are you doing what your doing?
Do what you do because you love it and you do it well. Your article had zero integrity as it seemed you didn't even care about sources, links or any form of credibility. Are you telling us what you factually know or what you thought? Or what you want?
Look bud, all you have to state is you made a mistake . I'm sure none of us will hold it against you as I've made many on here many times based on trusting my memory more then real facts. It happens, but I'm just posting it as a comment, your posting it as NEWS!
It happens bud, but just be humble and respectful about it. Your not a journalist, your just a person posting stories with zero credibility. If your just starting out, sorry but you have a lot to learn.
Let this be a lesson to you, this can only help you and I sincerely mean that.
Still you were making stuff up .The game was always stated as coming on PC with no mention of other platform , and they said in the past , even if it was before the PS4 and XB1 comes along , that it was a project possible on consoles then . Not only for tech reasons , but also the nature of the project .
a possible status on the site , is a farcry from the previous claim that it was announced on console , and a XB1 exclusive
smh... (Face palm) I just can't today with you guys. You got it have a nice day.
You can facepalm all you want .
The fact remains that years ago , they only had this to say "“this is a PC-designed game, it’s shipping exclusively for the PC.”
Now it's still only announced for PC but hinted possible for next gen .
Anyway , yeah , enough time wasted on this
If it comes to consoles, seems like PS4 is where it'll be at. Here's a comment, today, from a UE4 developer speaking about a particular feature in the engine that Fortnite takes advantage of:

Actual measurement of DFAO in 4.9 in a Fortnite level on PS4 is

I would consider DFAO to be usable on PS4 in 4.9, the rest of the features are not. We have not gotten a chance to test on Xbox One yet, but I expect DFAO will be too slow to use there as the Xbox one GPU is very weak. However with lowering the resolution enough, it can potentially run the same features as PS4.

Gears is first person...Through the eyes of the cameraman following behind them, who may or may not be the dude in the cloud from Mario 64. We will never know.
Microsoft is migrating several functions formerly reserved for its Xbox One SmartGlass mobile app into the Xbox app for Windows 10, as it increasingly ties the Xbox One console to PCs and mobile devices. SmartGlass is a “second screen” app that was originally written for Windows Phone, allowing it, for example, to control aspects of a connected Xbox One.
I care more about cross buy then streaming, but for at the moment we Can only wait and see how things going on...anyway future is bright for Pc and xbox palyers;£
I don't have a gaming PC, but the idea of being able to play my Xbox from any room in the house, is very appealing to me!
I have been reading some threads people trashing MS for the streaming pc n x1.. But I love it!!! Going to lot better n more up to date games, then what Sony doing with ps now streaming Old games at a high price,.. I really think MS is going to nail the cross platform n streaming....
People will trash Microsoft for anything they do. It's just the way this gen works. Also I don't see why you mentioned ps now since it's an actual streaming service and Xbox to win10 streaming is just you streaming your already owned games to a pc. They're not the same thing at all.
The streaming feature is definitely a positive. I have no idea why anyone would think that cross platform streaming would be a bad thing.
I'm buying one and plus its powered by Nvidia
Surface supporting a MS Xbox 360 controller would be awesome!
I might skip upgrading PC and move straight to Surface. Epic making push for this device would help seal the deal. I would just hope tactile devices, controllers and the like would be supported also.
No pricing, no release date? Late to the party will be the factor for failure for these tablets. No real innovation just more of Microsoft's need to copy apple and google for future market share. Good luck MS...
lol a gimmicky tablet with a gimmicky keyboard. this seems dead out of the gate.
