More on Unreal Warfare Tech

by Maarten Goldstein, Jan 23, 2001 10:01am PST

Epic has released the Unreal Engine 633 notes, now known as Warfare. It's an excerpt from the full notes but you can see what the Epic programmers have been working on besides increasing the amount of polygons that can be displayed. There's even a terrain tutorial that shows how to use the terrain technology. Thanks Blues News. Mark Rein from Epic also sent out a press release, with some mentions of an award for the Unreal Engine, XFest and a seminar for Unreal licensees along with the top 10 enhancements which you could already read about in the FGN story we mentioned this morning.

>>Actually, those 2 UW screens look pretty nice

These aren't shots from Warfare. They're tech demos.

This is one I can't wait to see. Epic has the best stable of level designers in the biz, plus a sense of how to make fun, stylish games. The last tech demo video -- even with only a minute or two of snippets -- blew away everything on the market.

Bring on ze warfare, you bastardos! :)

Question is what kind of monster of a computer will you need for the the game to run fast without the annoying hitches of UT. Epic has been showing vast improvements from Unreal to UT maybe now they'll improve the netcode further, make mouse input sharper and fix performance issues. OPENGL PLEASE!
