Xbox silence at GDC isn't the full picture, says Epic exec
PlayStation 4 has been an ever-present discussion point at the San Francisco event, with Sony publicly fostering developer relations and even showcasing controllers at its booth.
However, Rein said that assumptions Microsoft didn't have a private presence at the conference "isn't true," and that on the public side it's simply a case of one platform holder having announced their new console and the other not.
"I think that's more perception than reality," Rein said of Microsoft's suggested absence from GDC.
"Microsoft has always been very developer centric with all of their platforms and that Sony is embracing that approach is wonderful. But I don't think it diminishes what Microsoft is doing.
"I don't think with developer relations anyone is trying to be public, it's just you're at GDC and Sony has the hardware to talk about, and Microsoft hasn't talked about it publicly yet. So I think it's just the difference between someone who can say the name of their console and someone who can't."
On the PS4 side Epic released an extended video of its Unreal Engine 4 'Elemental' demo running on the console.
Rein had plenty of positive things to say about Sony's open approach to developer relations:
"It's abundantly clear that PS4 is being driven as a collaboration between East and West, as opposed to a dictation from one side to the other," he said. "Developers are fully involved, activated, discussed and doing really cool collaborative things."

SlytherinMTVSugarMods Why does it even matter just give it time so we can all enjoy it.
People want to know stuff so they can decide which to buy
I think most people will choose PS4. It's seems to be the better choice, and it has better reviews
Yeah if you want to play on laggy servers.

Yeah, that is probably the biggest reason.
But neither of them have been properly released yet, I still think what has been released about the new xbox does look better than the PS4
Defiantly i don't think the ps4 is going to be anywhere bear as good as the xbox 720.

-Fluttershy-are they? i thought they were going to do it before then , im not sure ::PViceKardashianDrumstepSmurfsM60SmurfsSWED- I think all next gen consoles is going to get delayed
I hope they get delayed a little bit longer.
Why do you want them to get delayed?
I just recently got a new Xbox slim.
I've had my falcon for a while
I have the 250GB one, Looks the best :D I hope they release the next-gen consoles soon! :(
I kind of hope they get delayed so i can enjoy my current console for a while. And all of the awesome news about the next-gen can be released at once.
They're waiting for the right time. Probably around XMas.
