Come on, those "engine ads" are actually aimed at general public to support the brand and make the "build with WHATERVER tech #" a selling point for the gamers. And execs too of course.

Cryengine Flow Graph > Kismet all day btw. 

"Cryengine Flow Graph > Kismet all day btw. "

Have you played with UE4 Kismet/Blueprints yet? It's a LARGE step up from UE3. 

what Unreal3 tech games officially have map editor and custom maps support? 

GoW and UT3 are the only two I can think of off the top of my head. 

I've always loved the Unreal Editor, the kismet system shown is really impressive. It's great to see that Shane still works at Epic, he seemed to drop off the radar somehow. Remember the days when the guys making the games were really at a kind of celeb status? Not really like that so much these days (except for guys like Carmack or Miyamoto).

Haha, I remember the nineties too. It's great until they try to make you their bitch though, then it all ends in tears. 

ok that video was nice. the debugger looks amazing. 

the ad markets exactly what it says (engine) but you guys want it to market something else (game).

That would be when Epic pimps the next GoW or Unreal?? All your where is the gameplay comments would be valid then. 

I just read the Epic Siggraph 2012 paper. I understood some of those words. Actually really awesome reading though, thanks Spiney.

The voxel cone nonsense seems mad cool. I thought this video by Cyril Crassin (the author of the original paper) does a great job of demonstrating it:

http://maverick.inria.fr/Publications/2011/CNSGE11b/GIVoxels-pg2011-authors.pdf this is a paper :-)

Nice slides nonetheless, i didn't know they had a siggraph talk. 

I thought it was a paper, I might just have remembered wrong :P 

.. pdf is electronic format, till you print it, then it becomes paper...

/you ignorant !! 

Why? because I'm not a clever man. Why must everyone insist on pointing this out? 

said paper. 

Wait, what? Out of all the hundreds games that use UE3 only 2 Epics own titles have editor/custom map suport?

Quick google couldn't find much relevant info.
Does it have much to do with everyone selling DLCs instead of letting users make their own mods or what. 

Yeah, it's kind of depressing...
I know there's workarounds for UDK that work with some titles, but nothing official.

Now make a cyberpunk Skyrim in the video setting, with Crytek-esque gameplay.

Thanks!!! 

Very cool roguelike with story and stuff: http://teleglitch.com/ 

Awesome! It's like a top-down Doom/Quake with perma-death and crafting!
Definitely recommend playing, I saw it on TIGSource ages ago! 

Thanks for posting that! It is like an amalgamation of all things I love about gaming. You made my day.

This one reminds me a lot Lord of The Ring: a mix in between Sauron and Balrog >E

This one is interesting too

Note that it is not image synthesis, but really Unreal engine 4. Nevertheless, it is precised that the engine run 4 times slower that normal speed, exploiting 100% of GTX680 processing capabilities. Hence, to run the game with its full power, it would need four GTX680 to get a real time playable demo

After small calculation it means "basically" and roughly just 12 Terra Flops a 14 billions of transistors... just a "small" GFX setup 

wow, teleglitch ironically has really nice graphics. i really like the visibility system they implemented. 

One thing for sure, compared to the System Shock and Thief series, Quake is really newbie friendly to install.
