Epic Has Unreal Secrets |
Listed in: News Tags: arkham city, Game Developers Conference, GDC, mass effect 3, unreal engine 4
Unreal Engine is one of the core building blocks of the games industry. Countless classic titles have been built using one version or another of Epic’s engine, from Batman: Arkham City to Mass Effect 3. And it looks like Epic is ready to unveil the next iteration of its powerful game authoring software—to very specific people.
The company has confirmed that Unreal Engine 4 will be shown at this year’s Game Developers Conference, scheduled to begin March 6 in San Francisco. However, the engine will not be on public display; only a select few individuals will have the privilege of viewing the software in action. Those individuals, mostly partners, customers and prospective customers, will be bound by NDA.
The NDA, apparently, is in effect due to Unreal Engine 4 running on next-gen technologies that can’t be discussed in a public forum. You know, like those top-secret Microsoft and Sony projects that are perhaps less secret that the companies would like to admit.
If you’re a fan of Epic, you’ll still have a chance to interact with the company at GDC. Tim Sweeney, Rod Fergusson and Cliff Bleszinski will be participating in 15 events over the course of the week, all of which are open to any attendee that wishes to participate.
Are you excited to see what Unreal Engine 4 will bring to the table?

Wow, this is actually a good article. Keep it as a sample of what to do right.
To answer your question, yes. It's been in development since 2003 and I fully expect it to utterly kick butt!

OT: maybe they're showing the engine on next gen consoles? who knows^^
What ever it is, it should look awesome. Just look at the Samaritan Demo from the last GDC... and that was on UE3!
Damn NDAs, why do they exist!?!

Here's hoping it wont be long before they'll unveil some visual goodies to the public. Or maybe I can try and get a sneak peak before then...
