New Unreal Engine 4 Info From GameInformer

Once again, some new info has been released by ImLimbo, this time about Unreal Engine 4.

[Hufandpuf]

The UE is a gold mine.

[andrewsqual]

Hopefully bodies don't disappear after 10 seconds and water and fire won't look like shit like in 90% of games on UE3.
Also I hope next gen they unifie the engine like Valve did with the source engine 8 years ago.
Example, when you buy a new game on PS4 it uses the Unreal4 engine that is stored pn the hard drive and the engine can be update at any time independent of the game and then not every game on Unreal on the console takes up 4-5 gbs. It just installs some of the unique assets of that game. I don't give a crap what the overated engine is going to look like.

[Kingdom Come]

The problems you listed where due to negative utilisation of the engine by the developers, not the engine itself.

[WrAiTh Sp3cTr3]

Andrew doesn't know what he's talking about. Maybe you should play Gears 3 for the full utilization of the engine, lol, because it makes your points or complaints moot.

[ardivt]

just look at the gif in the article. there you can see if the fire looks good enough for you.

and yeah, nowadays the water of UE3 looks a bit outdated. but back then, it was absolutely stunning and real"next gen" (eg bioshock). so you must be quite new to gaming.

[EZMickey]

"back then, it was absolutely stunning and real"next gen" (eg bioshock)"

Jeez. Never thought I'd see Back then and Bioshock in a sentence. Has so much time really passed in the world of gaming?

On topic, I don't know how anyone can't be excited about the follow up to the most used engine in our industry.

[StraightPath]

@ andrewsqual

So bioshock 1 & 2 had bad water fire effects? Try again.

[archemides518]

what i expect from batman arkham 3 using UE4:

- open world gotham city, can go anywhere anytime, including sewers
- batman + robin co-op, both with grapple/glide
- simultaneous co-op usage of batmobile, batbike, and/or batwing
- gta-like populated with people/cars

if they kept everything else the same i'd be ok with that.

[MRHARDON]

That can be done in current games, but it takes alot of time to do that, most developers do not have 4 years to develop a game.

[jay2]

It's ashame that xbox 3's not coming anytime soon really for you guys, why do I say this? GOWJ wouldn't be coming to 360, it'd be a xbox 3 launch title, so we're going to get some sort of clear waiting time hopefully on Monday.

[Kushan]

So what's this got to do with the next Xbox, specifically? Last time I checked, Unreal was used on pretty much all current gen platforms. Hell, I've got games on my phone that use unreal 3.

[Dispy]

Am I the only one who thinks that gif is so beautiful? Damn I can't wait to see the full demo

[turgore]

Cryengine looked better than UE3.

[Zha1tan]

lol please go rewatch the samaritan demo.

[OpenGL]

Can you please direct me to a game running that version of Unreal 3? Even a place where I can download that tech demo?

I didn't think so.

[ninjahunter]

Cool, but whats the point of an engine that no console can use and only 10% of PC's can use?

[Kamikaze135]

Because nobody should have to wait for a console's snail-pace movement to the next gen to start learning and trying to take advantage of a new engine.

[Banok]

this and its really alot more than 10%.

[josephayal]

TBH i cant wait to play UE4 and CRYENGINE in my WII-U next year

[Kinect]

Lol

[OmniSlashPT]

So they choose a dark environment and almost no texture showing because of the poor lightning to show off an engine? Ok, those are some nice particle and fire effects, but that's it? How about some photorealistic footage so people can really see the engine potencial?

[MRHARDON]

This engine can produce very advanced graphics, but probably they cant show it because the technology is not quite there yet.

Mabey they will show off more advanced graphics when the ATI RADEON HD 8000 series comes out later this year or early next year.
