Epic Games excited for next-gen consoles

Epic Games boss Tim Sweeney has spoken of the studio's excitement for the next-generation consoles.

The Gears of War developer feels that future hardware is 'going to be awesome' and that new consoles will match what Epic Games is able to do on PCs.

"We're more enthusiastic now than ever about the future of high-end platforms," Sweeney told Edge.

"What we're doing on high-end PCs is going to be representative of the future consumer gaming experience and it's going to be awesome."

Sweeney also had a word for the critics who believe next-gen won't be worth getting excited about.

"It's going to be a substantial leap over the current generation," he added.

Epic Games is currently preparing for the Gears of War: Judgement launch next month.
