An Interview with Epic Games' Mark Rein on Tom's Games

[Neil79]

An Interview with Epic Games' Mark Rein on Tom's Games talks further with Epic exec Mark Rein about the new PC Gaming Alliance: "At Epic Games we have our narrow view of PC gaming. We make these high-end action-movie type games that really push hardware. That's our whole raison d'être. Our view is pretty narrow so you have to take it with a grain of salt but we're interested in preserving the ability to ship those high-end shipped-on-a-disc super high-end experiences that... I said 'high-end' twice. That's how high-end; double high-end. That's our goal: to preserve the ability to ship those kinds of action-movie type games on the PC."

TG :Were you pleased with the sales of the PC version of Gears or War?
Mark Rein: Yeah it's doing OK actually.

Mark Rein: Oh Gears of War. I thought you were talking about Unreal Tournament. Sorry.
TG: No, Gears of War on PC.

Why did he include him going to get a cookie in the interview? That's terrible editing, and has nothing to do with any topic.

Mark Rein: Hang on, can I stop and get a cookie?

TG: Oh yeah, please go ahead.

Mark Rein: I'm starving.

[Rein heads for the snack table and returns with two sizable chocolate chip cookies.]

Mark Rein: Sorry.

TG: That's OK.

Mark Rein: You want one?

TG: Yeah, sure.


See what you mean , didn't even notice that

TG: Is Epic Games going to give up on PC gaming?

Mark Rein: Nope. I don't see that happening.
