Unreal Engine 4 Video Demoes Released In Full
Today none other than Epic Games founder and head Tim Sweeney introduced Unreal Engine 4 in its entirety to GDC 2014. According to Sweeney, we'll be seeing the entirety of Unreal Engine 4 released, including Unreal Editor working with it in ready format as well as UE4's complete source code (in C++) available through GitHub. This release includes a $19 a month subscription fee with everything above.
Straight from Tim Sweeney himself here first is a message on Unreal Engine 4. Delivered in its entirety, this engine will drive the next generation of games for developers hoping to be on the cutting edge – of course. This release is aimed directly at game developers, while the next step will be from game developers to the gamers themselves.
Next you're going to see a massive demonstration of all the capabilities that'll be included in Unreal Engine 4. This shows items like full-scene HDR reflections, post-processing effects galore, physically-based shading, and GPU particle simulation and collision.
Next you'll see an Unreal Engine 4 Editor Tutorials playlist. This list shows everything the developer will be able to do with these new tools from the start. Fun stuff, but far from the final product.
