    Epic Games have been hard at work creating its Unreal Engine 4 and Square Enix are the first ones to publicly license it. With the latest technology at its back, Square Enix will be able to realise all of its gaming goals. Or at least, that's what I'm hoping! Perhaps now with the Unreal Engine 4, SE might put Final Fantasy Versus XIII together and release it for us. I'm expecting sexy, sexy characters graphics like we saw in the Agni's Philosophy tech demo. Wait, that was from the Luminous Engine, not Unreal 4. Who owns the Luminous Engine again? ...Oh.


    The aforementioned sexiness.

      Those Joystiq comments are painful to read. Now for a painful comment of my own:

      Executive B: "Well, I hear Epic has this next-gen Unreal Engine coming out. We should probably get some licenses for that."

      Executive A: "That's a great idea. All of this cutting edge next-gen technology is going to give us a big leg up on the competition when new consoles eventually hit the market."

      Executive B: "We won't get caught with our pants down this time around."

      Middle Manager: "Shouldn't we spend some money on actually getting games out the door?"
