Awesome Unreal

We’ve all played games running on Unreal Engine 3, but from the looks of this new tech demo, we’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg of what it can do. Play with this map now in the updated UDK beta.

Originally codenamed “Project Sword“, the first full game running on the iOS version of Epic’s Unreal Engine combines RPG mechanics and action with incredible graphical finesse.

Created with the modern-day Unreal Engine 3 Dev Kit this animation shows what the original Unreal (c.1998) might look like if remade using today’s technology. It’s such a tease. We want more.

Coder Eskil Steenberg used the physics capabilities of the Unreal Engine to render this mesmerizing video, in which a stack of inanimate bricks come to life with incredible choreography.
