Epic games are very well known as the developers of some of the top games of the last few generations but that isn’t their real claim to fame. No, what really brings in the money for the company is their gaming engine that is used by hundreds of developers across the board.
In fact, it isn’t only used in gaming; the hit tv show LazyTown is partially rendered using the engine. But like all things it has started to creak and is showing signs of its age. Epic, however, isn’t resting on its laurels; at GDC last week they unveiled a tech demo of their new engine and it is incredible.
Make sure you pick the 1080p setting and full screen this. I want to play this game…and watch the movie…and let it have my children
Now this is living.

Thank you! true though, you get the average deadliness of a soldier, and divide his effectiveness by the number in his squad 🙂

whereas n=the number of “bad guys”, x=the number of “good guys”, and J=the number of Jedi
present, if any. The equation reads, “The probability of a bad guy
hitting his target is equal to the inverse of all bad guys present plus
the cube of the number of good guys present (plus one) plus the number
of Jedi present (plus one) to the tenth power.”

I have a love/hate relationship with the Unreal engine, but this does look nice. At least they’ve sorted out the bloom.
