Epic has started to show just what is now possible with the newest version of Unreal Engine 3.  This is looking to be the technology that will be powering games like Gears of War 3.

From the looks of it, it supports full DirectX 11 hardware capabilities, with options like enhanced bloom, realistic foliage, enhanced motion blur, filmlike depth blur, and a handfull of other options.

It also shows the new development tools, including the development tools for iOS and Android Phones.

Please note this is just a technology demonstration and not by any means the demonstration of a final product that Epic is working on.  However, Epic IS working on Gears of War 3 right now, and it’s quite possible some of this technology could find it’s way into the game.

Well, not to be upstaged by my little Duke Nukem History Video, Gearbox Software has released their own history series of Duke Nukem, but they were fortunate enough to interview the key players involved with Duke Nukem since the beginning.

Also, the Official Duke Nukem Forever page has released their very first podcast.  It’s not yet been added to the Apple iTunes store, so you’ll have to sync it manually to your various iOS devices, but you can listen to it on your computer or mp3 player.

Duke Nukem Forever is coming June 14th, 2011 for PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.
