So it's a no to handhelds, and a yes to PS3... But (deep breath) is there any chance of Epic ever making a Nintendo game? After all, at an IGN event recently Rein did suggest that the Revolution controller would inspire developers to produce "gimmicky, crappy, cheap, I-wish-I-hadn't-bought-it games"...
"I actually said Nintendo's going to make amazing games. I never really passed a judgement on the controller itself. I think the controller's cool!" Mark says.
"I wasn't bashing Nintendo, I wasn't bashing the controller, I was really just saying that a byproduct of having a device like this is that people are going to make games that possibly are just there because of the controller, as opposed to being great games of themselves, and I said it badly... I regret that."
There will be plenty of great titles that make use of the controller, too, Rein adds. "Nintendo and some of the best third parties are going to make amazing games for it."
We mention a recent interview Eurogamer did with Nintendo's Jim Merrick, where we asked him what he thought of Rein's comments.
"You know, I read your article and I called him up right afterward," Rein says. "We had a long, very good chat."
So he wasn't, shall we say, a bit cross? "Didn't seem to be!"
And what about Merrick's suggestion that Rein get a Revolution dev kit for himself so he can see exactly what the machine can do?
"I told him we've absolutely love to take him up on that."
That doesn't mean Epic has signed up to develop for Revolution, but it's certainly something worth looking into, says Rein.
"I think Unreal Engine 3 and Nintendo Revolution would be very well suited to each other.
"We don't know right now what the machine's capable of or not capable of, and we've built Unreal Engine 3 to a certain specification. If the machine can run the engine, it'd be fantastic to have it on there."
