GDC 2007: Unreal Engine 3 tech demo
One of the most hallowed rituals in GDC is the obligatory display of game engine tech demos. The one included in this post is Epic’s tech demo for their Unreal Engine 3 running Unreal Tournament 2K7.
The Firing Squad notes that during the demo in front of a packed house of journalists, Epic started the demo with a game not developed by them. Perhaps, this is a strategic move on their part, and their touting that their Engine is being adopted by a wide array of studious.
It is reported that Epic VP Mark Rein has said that he wanted to show how Unreal Engine 3 doesn’t have to be used by a huge game with an expensive budget.
Anyway, enough with the words, we know you folks are eager to watch the video and check it out yourselves. We’ll leave you with something interesting said by Rein though. He reportedly said that UE3 can, and will be used for XBLA and PS3 downloadable titles, and that these types of games will allow developers to license the engine for a lower price than a full retail game. Smart move on Epic’s part? Time will tell.
