The Unreal Game engine has revolutionized the gaming experience over the past 10 years. From its humble beginnings it has now got critical acclaim for its highly detailed indoor environments and awe inspiring outdoor spaces. It caused a great deal of competition with rival company Id Software’s Quake 2 engine. Now a decade later, it has stepped out on its own and dominated much of the online experience with Unreal Tournament, its sequels and the Amazing Gears Of War.The unreal 3 engine has changed the way we think of video games with its highly realistic gun battles and chainsaw kills. The way the pieces of skull bounce off of anything it comes into contact with after scoring a headshot. To how the bodies explode from a close range shotgun blast.

Right around the corner is the mystic Unreal 4.When asked about this developer Tim Sweeny said this..

TG Daily: You already have started working on Unreal Engine 4.0?

Sweeney: “We have a small Research & Development effort dedicated to the Unreal Engine 4. Basically, it is just me, but that team will be ramping up to three to four engineers by the end of this year - and even more one year after that. In some way, we resemble a hardware company with our generational development of technology. We are going to have a team developing Unreal Engine 3 for years to come and a team ramping up on Unreal Engine 4. And then, as the next-gen transition begins, we will be moving everybody to that. We actually are doing parallel development for multiple generations concurrently.”

There are many things i would love to see in UE4 including more open ended gameplay but with the destructibility and detail of the upcoming GOW2. More realistic lip sync technology and an improved physics system.And much much more but ill leave that for another post.

Catch ya next time, Matty
