Unreal Engine 3 Shows New Features April 8, 2011

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.
