Tim Sweeney from Epic Games talked at length to Wired about the next gen Unreal Engine 4. Epic Games, the studio well known for the Unreal Engine and the Unreal games have been teasing the power of their engine(with the Samaritan demo) of late and has finally spilled the beans on Unreal 4. Apparently it's already done and ready right now! Epic showed off a new demo reel of the Unreal Engine 4 featuring an armoured demon on a volcanic fortress. Lots of fancy lighting and particles effects from the volcano. Epic senior technical artist, Alan Willard, then took control in a first person perspective camera and moved around. Cliff Blezinski from Epic Games stated that the next gen graphics engine has to be on par with Avatar(the CG movie from James Cameron). Wired talked about the lens flare, bokeh distortion, lava flow, environmental destruction, and detailed landscapes miles away which they say was "breathtakingly photo-realistic—or would be if demon knights were, you know, a real thing". Epic Games revealed that Unreal Engine 4 will début to the public at E3 this coming June. Cant wait to see it! I've posted some Unreal 4 screenshots below...
