After how much time they will upload it on GameTrailers?
I just missed it, I only saw the glimpse of it at the end.

Looks much better than games do now. Like I said I liked squares more though.
Okay, think I'm hearing things.. I thought they said in their next episode they were showing ''Grand Theft Auto'' or some shiet.
For me I watched in low quality, so its hard to judge. I will probably have to judge it again when I see direct feed..
From what I saw it looked good, especially the lighting and mountain part. But I am not sure if its so good that it "make Samaritan look like crap" good. Personally I thought SE's Luminous Studio demo looked better, but its not fair comparing it to elemental because elemental demo was running on single GPU.
And like someone said earlier, I think the important thing for UE4 is how easy to develop.
Pretty sure they said something about an unedited dead space 3 trailer
What? How? (Didn't watch it.)
I think he said GT TV.
Yes, yes he did.

ah piss, I missed it.
Just following the thread it sounds like they talked about scaling down to mobile devices...so I guess people took that as a sign that it'll work on Wii U.
That would fit with what they said last year about UE4 on mobile so nothing new I guess.
Represent.
Represent(ative) of bad opinions
Whats the general consensus? I thought it looked pretty damn amazing. In the hands of the right devs, this will deliver some truly amazing looking games. We need GIFS.

Prettay much. Crytek loses.
It's very similar to what we have now, even in tech demo form, which is historically a lot more impressive than games actually turn out looking.
The particle effects and some of the physics looked better than most games today though. However, the actual environments and character models aren't a huge improvement. Usually we see bigger improvements at the end of a 5 year generation, much less at the end of an 8 year generation. Just my opinion though. Obviously some people seem to like it.
I thought it looked good, but it didn't blow me away. I was more impressed by what Epic had to say about their development kit and what that could potentially mean for development budgets and cycles.

Hm. The actual episode keeps playing the pre-E3 video. :/

People let's be honest, it looks impressive, ok there are tons of artefacts, some pixalated textures on close ups on the monster (the mark of each unreal engine 
) and some aliasing , apart from that this look a bigger jump than it was from UE2 to UE3.
Still not as impressive as Luminous Engine.

He said Unreal Engine 4 was scalable to that of an iPhone or higher.

If this is really scalable with most of the features as much as Epic is claiming this is gonna be a nice engine. I do hope it is able to run on Wii U and the other two next gens without difficulty.
Luminous looked better by pure aesthetics though.

I thought he said it may someday run on the iPhone. Not necessarily this one, but iPhones get upgraded annually.
Thanks, I DEFINITELY recommend watching the development walkthrough, especially if you've used the UDK before. I want the new editor and features. ;_; Changing C++ code on the fly and switching from editor to play-in-editor so quickly is nice. It looks like they've tried to add some good features that the CryEngine editor uses.
The one thing I couldn't tell very well is how many dynamic shadow-casting lights are easily supported. The dynamic shadow-casting sunlight looked good, but that was already supported by the UDK...good dynamic shadows for lots of smaller lights is what I'd like to see.

Just saw it. Meh, I thought the Samaritan demo was more impressive.
Don't think he did, but if he did, he said the it'd work on the iPad.

SE's demo impressed me more, but they had less going on from a physics perspective than Epic did. I also have no idea what kind of hardware Square used to power their demo or how likely they are to actually have games looking that good next gen.
Either way I'm excited to hopefully see more next gen demos over the coming year.

Agreed.
Agnis kicks the Elemental's ass.

Cold as the rockies!
I wonder if Epic and Spike knew Square Enix was going to show Agnis in E3

The current Gen iPad? The infinity blade game they are showcasing on it is only UE3. I don't think iOS devices now are close to running UE4. I think he just meant that in enough time when they began to be capable UE4 will work and scale down to them, but that's still far off. I doubt the WiiU run it; I don't see why Nintendo would fail to mention it at their conference.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
What's funny is I too think 1313 wowed me more in some parts, and yet it's supposedly a heavily modified UE3 game.
Shows that a lot has to do with how much $$$/Time/Effort is put into making a game verses just a tech demo.
Put in the camp that it looked good, but Luminous looked better. It lacked this total WOW factor, but what did sound impressive was the dev tools being streamlined.

it won't look like that though lol.
