Demo 4 is the best one hands down, other videos are just the rehashed version of last year's stuff along with some new things..

edit: Demo 4 screen capture.

Here's a quick breakdown of what the videos in this link show:

Note about all four videos: They have very poor sound and look washed out.

Video 1: This is the same general tech, shader, and shadowing demo shown last year. In fact, it is so similar I first thought it was from last year just shot from another angle. You can skip this one if you have seen last year's video(s).

Video 2: A physics demo with gravity and various mechanism operating on balls to set off a chain of events. Not very impressive.

Video 3: More physics. This one is a more general gaming environment demo with ragdolls. It is reminiscent of the Karma demo released for UT2003 and shows how gravity can be controlled and how bones interact in models.

Video 4: Large detailed environments demo. This is the one that will drop your jaw. If you thought Half-Life 2 or Painkiller had interesting and large outdoor environments, wait till you see this. More of an old-school texture and polygon demo (the 'fancy stuff' is not highlighted) and probably highlighting the dynamic loading capability of the engine (difficult to hear), but certainly the one that will have most people impressed and off dreaming about the endless possibilities. This one is the must-have of the bunch.

Another article off of IGN.

Of course, this I've experienced this kind of wonder before. Seeing DOOM 3 for the first time. Seeing Half-Life 2 for the first time. Hell, seeing Star Fox for the first time is actually pretty memorable for me. But man, the stuff Epic is showing off to promote their Unreal Engine 3 is ridiculo. Something will undoubtedly pass it up eventually, but there is no doubt that this is the next generation in visuals putting everything out there to shame.

 

[Prince of China]

Wow.
That engine is powerful.
Ubisoft must use this engine to make a new Splinter Cell game.

 

[Lemonking]

wicked sick shit,thx Shens

 

[VirusType2]

wow, video 4 looks great. The city is so beatiful and looks so detailed.
EDIT: By the way, don't forget to turn your volume back down after watching. I had to turn my amplifier nearly all the way up (200 watt studio monitor loudspeakers) to figure out what the guy was saying.

Nothing has been signed.

 

[Sparta]

Nothing has been signed.

Yet....

 

[destrukt]

imagine the slut running that thing : |

i would <3 a new ff game on that engine.

 

[Gargantou]

I would <3 a new GTA/Mercenaries game on that engine, or a RE game.

 

[Asuka]

/me changes pants again

I agree once again. :rolling:

It would be really cool if they had the fight video. Where it shows the guy in first person shoot aliens. ugh me whats NOW>

 

[satch919]

That is one impressive engine! :O The lighting, shadowing, texturing, etc is all beyone beliefI can't wait until next year rolls around so that I can get my hands on this. Hoepfully they'll show off more at E3. :naughty: Fantastic.

That last video with the city was unreal(no pun intended). It looked like something straight out of a CG film.

 

[Gargantou]

It's great that Microsoft has licensed the UE3, perhaps we'll get a Halo 3 using the UE3 engine, doesn't that sound like it could be a major improvement?

"HAHAHAHAHHAAAAH"
"But HL2 ran so well..."
"Hahahahahh"

[StardogChampion]

What'll be the first game on this engine? I think America's Army got released before any Epic made games the last time.

EDIT - Need new download link please.
