Gears of War 3 Tech Demo and Unreal Engine Updates

Posted By | On 14th, Mar. 2010

Epic have just released this amazing tech demo for the upcoming Gears of War 3. A lot of information is still in the air and we have no clue as to when the third game in the premium franchise will be released. At GDC, Epic showed various demonstrations of their updated Unreal Engine. One of those was the tech demo for Gears of War 3. The video is pretty short but it shows the level of detail that one can expect from a Gears of War game. The footage shows a Brumak roaring through a jungle. You can check the video yourself below:

Also as reported by Kotaku, Epic Games vice president Mark Rein, referring to a demo showing a blob of liquid metal, asked the audience at GDC: “Remember last year we had the meat cube? …This is the mercury cube”

Another demo showed what the updated Unreal Engine was really capable of.  An Epic representative playing a demo, quickly zipped through a city, indicating how quickly the buidlings and the huge city can be easily rendered by the engine.

Mark Rein added: “One day we’ll show you what we’re doing with this. When you see what we’re doing with this, it’s going to blow your mind.”

Here are some of the images that have been rendered in real time using the engine. Click to see them in full screen:
