Wired's Game|Life interviewed Epic Games' VP Mark Rein on the outlook of the company's blockbuster Gears of War, its Unreal engine and discuss its presence on next-gen gaming consoles. Some highlights of the interview include:

On Gears of War:
"We spent less than $10 million to make Gears of War. Somewhere between nine and ten million dollars. People are always saying that making next-generation games is really expensive, and we're saying, you should license our technology."

"Right now we're still working on Gears of War 1 -- I shouldn't call it "one," Gears of War -- and we're still making some great downloadable content, some new stuff for the game. We're still doing updates to it."

On the PS3:
- "I don't understand all this crazy negative backlash towards PlayStation 3. It's like, people aren't happy that there aren't enough machines, and then they're not happy that there are enough machines. Get over it!"

On Unreal Tournament 3 and the Xbox 360 Hard Drive:
"We're very much applauded Sony for having the hard drive on every single machine. We will absolutely take advantage of the hard drive on UT3. So if you don't have a hard drive on Xbox 360 and you want to get the most out of your UT purchase, think about getting one."

On having games on the Wii:
"Hey, we're in that space! Red Steel, Splinter Cell -- those use our previous engine technology. "

"Boasting 512 MB of RAM, a Blu-Ray disc drive, backwards compatibility, and the cutting edge Cell processor, PS3 is the  
 
most advanced game console ever created.
