The gaming companies that have signed on to license the amazing Unreal Engine 4 from Epic Games are mostly working on new IP (Intellectual Properties) rather than grinding out sequels according to European territory manager for Epic, Mike Gamble.

In an interview with Edge, he stated that the ratio of sequels to new IP is “at least 50/50 if not 70/30 in favour of new stuff.”

I’m relieved to hear this because it means that many gamers will finally get new games to love instead of rehashes of older games with just a new game engine. If there’s one complaint I have about gaming in the 2010s or really gaming in general is the repetitive yearly releases of IP as cash grabs like Madden or Call of Duty.

I sit upon my throne as the owner/shogun of this site, WatchPlayRead. But it wasn't always so. I too have had blogspots, I've done other community blogs, I've even written professionally for other sites out there...yet none of them provided the content I had a real passion for. It is then that I became tired of being a small cog in a big machine, and of writing about nothing but game news after game news article and the periphery that comes from such schlock, like knowing who Michael Pachter and Bobby Kotick are. I decided to start MediaWhoreNetwork.com and ran up my post count there for about 2 years, commenting about any and everything that I wanted to. I even started a weekly podcast that I feel has come into its own. It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that having the word "whore" in your URL might be a bit limiting to my potential audience. I then made the website and its branding move over to WatchPlayRead.com.
