With Epic working on Gears of War 2, we’ve had a chance to see just how far they could push the system. But apparently, not only has Epic managed to pump out what looks to be the greatest game to hit the Xbox 360 to date, they’ve come very close to maxing out the potential of the Xbox 360.

Rod Fergusson of Epic had a chance to speak with Gamasutra and mentioned that they’re essentially at the upper end of what the system can do. They expect the next two years to be used really fine tuning and pushing those limits, launching some of the greatest games the Xbox 360 has seen. But unfortunately when this happens, a new system isn’t that far away.
