Epic Shows Off the Newest Unreal Engine 3 Tech Trailer; November UDK Released
by Xav de Matos, Nov 24, 2010 11:30am PSTRemember when the joke was that Unreal Engine 3 was the best, next-gen tech to use if developers wanted to add stylish browns to their titles? Epic wants you to forget all that.
Epic Games, makers of titles like Gears of War 2 and Unreal Tournament 3, have released a new trailer featuring the enhancements made to that other thing they make: the Unreal engine.
Seeing this gets us more than a little excited for the environments in Gears of War 3.
Beyond that, Epic has also released the November 2010 edition of its Unreal Development Kit. The kit--which is available for free from Fileshack for non-commercial use--gives creative types Epic's Unreal Engine 3 framework, allowing them to create their own colorful Unreal-powered world. Color and the Unreal Engine mentioned in the same sentence? It really is the future.

This looks pretty good, but I think Far Cry 2 did most of this already.. Unreal 3 seems like it's been falling behind as of late..

Also, I don't like the Savannah, the lighting, the environment, shooting hundreds of africans, and my biggest gripe is that I don't like "modern" shooters. I typically only play fantasy or sci-fi, and when I say sci-fi, I mean it has to not just have futuristic weapons that aren't available today, but creative weapons, and a futuristic feel to it. A good analogy for that one is Deus Ex, how it looks and feels like the future, even if only 30ish years have passed by, but I don't care, I just enjoy the "feel".
It always pissed me off in that game how there's no "ring of fire" weapon, where you shoot up in the air, and the shell fragments in a 360 degree pattern below, completely encircling some poor souls before they're engulfed in flames. That's why I hate modern shooters, they'd never do anything as unrealistic, and awesome as that.
