What Unreal Engine 4 Means For Artists And Indie Developers

While Epic is quick to show off the graphical fidelity and raw power of their new Unreal Engine 4 (click here to see Cliff Bleszinski do just that), they are also hoping that the engine is appealing to game development teams that don't have a wealth of technical knowledge. The redesigned "Kismet" scripting system for Unreal Engine 4 is designed as a simple set of tools that allow for the relatively quick turnaround of ideas into full-fledged games. The video below, art director Shane Caudle, who has no programming experience, shows off a collection of minigames he programmed by himself with the help of Epic Games vice president Mark Rein.

Great, so we'll be paying the inexperienced to showcase their work. Not so sure about that one...

Unreal 4 has amazing potential. Can't wait to see what developers are able to do with it in the coming years.

If the crows want to be a part of the private sector, why are they selling insider trading information to the public rhinos?

I can only imagine how many great games will come from the easy to work with nature of Unreal 4. It makes me think that I could actually make my own game.

Damn... just imagine if graphics had gradually improved after 2007. We would have these graphics years ago. No game has graphically surpassed Crysis for reasons that would get me flamed.

My eyes have seen the future. And it it GLORIOUS.

I want Unreal III **BRAAAHHHH**!

This is awesome!

It would be interesting to see a demo that is more than a vehicle flying/sailing around. These 3 are pretty much the same thing. Not taking anything away from his efforts, but how will do with FPS, sports, driving etc?
by Warlord3 Friday, June 08, 2012 at 05:51 PM

This looks awesome!
by CosmicChaos Friday, June 08, 2012 at 06:14 PM

Games are going to be totally different when developers start using this engine. This is going to usher in a new era for this industry and I can't wait to see what's in store.
by Luciferous Friday, June 08, 2012 at 07:09 PM

What I want to know is this; When can I get my hands on the tool-set? I have a hankering to make some games...
by Adventuring Alberto Friday, June 08, 2012 at 07:34 PM

I hope when we can get our hands on this eventually!! I have a need to make a few games!!
by Velimir Friday, June 08, 2012 at 07:35 PM

Still, you have to license the damn thing which will be bloody expensive.
by God Of Irony Friday, June 08, 2012 at 08:08 PM

gotta say, this looks like Unreal will be dominating again as the engine of choice.
by zombieXchrist Friday, June 08, 2012 at 08:18 PM

I noticed in the video his name was Rain, but in the article it's spelled Rein. Just a heads up.
by ABeastNamedTariq Friday, June 08, 2012 at 08:46 PM

I think this is pretty fantastic.

Sweeeeeeeet pony-tale.
