Epic CEO Tim Sweeney expects small games at the dawn of the virtual reality revolution

SAN FRANCISCO — You can feel the gaming industry swelling with excitement for virtual and augmented reality, but one of the top technology companies isn’t expecting massive triple-A experiences for early head-mounted devices.

Epic chief executive officer Tim Sweeney has a lot of thoughts about the future of games and beyond when it comes to VR and AR, and he shared these with us at GamesBeat 2015. One of his boldest predictions is that AR glasses with 8K and better displays will eventually replace all screens in the real world, but he also has some guesses for what the software ecosystem will look like as we start getting the first wave of Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and PlayStation VR devices into our hands.
