Unfortunately Kotaku is the only place I could find hosting these, so the resolution is a tad small and they're a bit fuzzy. If someone has larger or less compressed images, I'll update the OP.

Update:

This may be a leaked video of a Gears of War 3 tech demo that eek5 found. We'll probably find out based on whether it gets taken down soon or not. You may want to save backups in case you want to watch it again later or re-upload it.

Looks like Uncharted 1

That's one way to keep the engine in circulation.

Those pillars totally reminded me of a very similar environment in Uncharted 1 tho.

I wont post pics tho :lol

bloodforge · Mar 14, 2010

Isn't that just Speedtree?

Blizzard · Mar 14, 2010

Nice. I just checked the UDK site to see if the March release had it, but apparently not.

abstract alien · Mar 14, 2010

How will it move and will the foliage interact with objects, characters or wind? These are the only things I care about.

that exactly what I thought of when I looked at it. Looks like that one part where you had to find the underground entrance after you crashed.

burgerdog · Mar 14, 2010

Gears 3 to have jungle setting!

Cruzader · Mar 14, 2010

Look nice but UE3 sucks donkey ballz.

I NEED SCISSORS · Mar 14, 2010

Looks really nice. Unreal Engine 3 gets too much hate - it's up to the developers to actually, you know, come up with their own art.

Stitch · Mar 14, 2010

can't wait to wander through that jungle with my shiny bald spacemarine

Mind if I ask what your particular issues with it are? (i.e. texture pop-in, lots of devs made games that looked "shiny"?)

First post. Gaf didn't disappoint.

Man · Mar 14, 2010

Looked like the 1st level in UC1. The three pillars you have to climb and rich jungle foliage.

I was wondering.... is UE3 suddenly shitty?

reKon · Mar 14, 2010

I see they've been influenced by a certain game :lol

HOLY SHIT COLOR!

Iadien · Mar 14, 2010

Uncharted created green plants... Who knew?

reKon · Mar 14, 2010

the next gen filter needs to be applied to those pictures to make things right..

Nirolak · Mar 14, 2010

Apparently they also have a new particle system, a new animation determination system, and a few other things that seem more developer end focused. I'll try and see if someone posted videos of those yet.

This is a nice interview though about Epic's GDC stuff in general though: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/...AA_Is_Not_Going_Away_Its_Going_Everywhere.php

golem · Mar 14, 2010

I cant wait for Giant Bomb's Speedtree interview.. foliage wars!

Mush · Mar 14, 2010

GeoW 3 set in a jungle confirmed.

MvmntInGrn · Mar 14, 2010

Looks nice. Looks a lot like an early area in the first Uncharted.

I believe they are referring to the Aztek/Incan/Mayan like pillars and columns not he foliage itself. I hope anyway

TTP · Mar 14, 2010

nm, missread

legend166 · Mar 14, 2010

This will definitely make me enjoy my games more.

Alex Connolly · Mar 14, 2010

Perhaps Borderlands 2 might have some forest or jungle settings...that'd be awesome!

I think those pics look pretty good, all things considered. Lots of room for some interesting foliage.

KaYotiX · Mar 14, 2010

so now we get texture pop in with color........

WillyFive · Mar 14, 2010

I don't think it looks like Uncharted at all.

See?

ntropy · Mar 14, 2010

"Epic Unveils Unreal Engine 3 Foliage Technology"
Which part is the technology here?
-Could UE3 not make grass/plants like that at all before?
-Has making those scenes been made easier?
-Is it doing this automagically?

LordPhoque · Mar 14, 2010

Uncharted created foliage technology.

I miss the orange and brown of q2dm1

Insane Metal · Mar 14, 2010

Looks darker than Uncharted.

For real, it looks really good.

LordPhoque · Mar 14, 2010

Anyway I hope that these new features won't be used in Gears games only.

bloodforge · Mar 14, 2010

Speedtree has been integrated with UE3 for years now, there has been no reason devs couldn't have had foliage before now. The new 5.1 trees look better than ever(which I'm almost certain is what we are seeing in those screenshots).

I've only messed with the Unreal Editor a bit with Mirror's Edge and the UDK, but I don't really know of any UDK games with lots of grass and plants. Mirror's Edge especially is rather barren even with a couple of foliage node thingies in the system. UT3 had a map or two with a jungle-ish environment, but I seem to recall it was mostly static stuff and textures. This could be totally static and with prebaked lighting as well, but if it's prebaked with Lightmass or especially if the leaves etc. move and cast dynamic shadows, I would be impressed.

So I think (please correct me if I'm wrong) that it was maybe POSSIBLE to do this sort of thing before, but perhaps not as easy and perhaps not as nice? If it's now easy, nice, and going to be included in the UDK for people to freely use, I will be pleased.
