Epic Games to privately showcase Unreal Engine 4 at GDC

Unreal Engine 3 is one of (if not the most) prolific gaming technologies in existence right now, powering everything from Mortal Kombat and Asura’s Wrath to Gears of War 3 and Batman: Arkham City. If you’re one of the many developers that depend on Epic’s engine, the upcoming 2012 Game Developers Conference may be your first chance to see the next generation of Unreal Engine in action.

Epic will be showcasing Unreal Engine 4 to “select licensees, partners and prospective customers” behind closed doors at the conference; demonstrations will be given by appointment only, and all who attend must sign what we can only assume is the most air-tight, all-encompassing non-disclosure agreement ever written. For instance, developers allowed into Epic’s demonstration area may not smuggle air out of the demonstration area inside of their lungs and then transfer that air to the lungs of another living person, under pain of chainsaw death. It’s pretty serious stuff, but it’s probably worth it to see some totally sweet tech demos.Continue reading Epic Games to privately showcase Unreal Engine 4 at GDCEpic Games to privately showcase Unreal Engine 4 at GDC originally appeared on Joystiq on Mon, 27 Feb 2012 11:45:00 EST.
