Talk:Unreal Engine 4

Chronology of early UE4 development
Accroding to the article as it is now, it seems that Sweeney was the only one working on UE4 from 2003 to 2008. However in Nov 2005 Mark Rein said the following:

"When can we expect to see Unreal Engine 4, then? Rein tells us that he was showing a journalist round Epic's North Carolina headquarters recently, explaining how one of the options for new employees will be working on research projects into the next-generation of gaming. 'The guy said, 'So would that be Unreal Engine 4?', and I said, 'Yeah I guess it will be.' So technically Unreal Engine 4 is in development, but it's for the next generation of machines, not even the ones coming out now.'"

I'm not sure how to add this into the article. Technically Rein only said that developers would have the option to work on UE4, so it's hard to say anything specific. Do note that as these are both primary sources they can contradict each other and we don't need to maintain consistency between them.
