Unreal Engine 3 Samaritan Tech Demo

Epic Games unveiled the real-time demo of their Unreal Engine 3 at the 2011 Game Developers Conference and it's spectacular. The demo is called The Samaritan and features a guy that fights crooked cops and turns to a cool rocky character. I'm guessing thats what the plot is at least. They say it's not a game, but it would be an awesome game to play.

The updated engine "adds tesselation and displacement, geometry shaders, multisampled textures, shader model 5 support, and high-end features like subsurface light scattering, Bokeh depth-of-field effects, and significant improvements to reflections and shadows." That is programmer talk for #$cking awesome looking games in the future.

I can't wait to play games that look this awesome. I doubt current gaming consoles can push this engine to it's highest settings, even PC's. PS3 will be the best bet for current consoles, but Microsoft currently announced they have hired people to work on the next generation of Xbox. So, here is to the future.

Here is the tech demo and make sure to put it in higher quality to see it in full effect.

Battlefield 3: Gameplay Trailer

The gameplay trailer for the highly-anticipated Battlefield 3 has made it's way online. It really looks fantastic, even though it is only about 50 seconds long. It shows some really cool gameplay footage.

Battlefield 3 gets released this fall

Some cool details were revealed in the press release on the games engine Frostbite 2. Here are some excerpts with the full press release after the jump.

This state-of-the-art technology is the foundation on which Battlefield 3 is built, delivering enhanced visual quality, a grand sense of scale, massive destruction, dynamic audio and character animation utilizing ANT technology from the latest EA SPORTS™ games."



"In Battlefield 3, players step into the role of the elite U.S. Marines. As the first boots on the ground, players will experience heart-pounding missions across diverse locations including Paris, Tehran and New York. As a U.S. Marine in the field, periods of tension and anticipation are punctuated by moments of complete chaos. As bullets whiz by, as walls crumble, as explosions force players to the ground, the battlefield feels more alive and interactive than ever before."

Amazing Dead Island Trailer

I know that the footage is not game footage, but my god this trailer is fantastic. I have been waiting for a few years (since 2007) to see something for this game. I just love the whole idea of a survival horror game that takes place on an island and features a heavy melee based combat. This trailer just makes you want to watch in silence. Truly an amazing game trailer.

Dead Island hits Xbox 360 and PS3 sometime 2011

Here is the chilling game trailer

Chris Nolan says Inception Game Is Planned

Christopher Nolan has confirmed that they will be making a Inception video-game in the near future.

Nolan announced the news during a press conference in Rome to promote the delayed release of Inception in Italy.

He told Variety "One thing we are looking at doing is developing a video game based on the world of the film, which has all kinds of ideas that you can't fit into a feature film"

If your like me and really can't wait to play this game then you will be glad and sad to know that Nolan said "That's something we've been talking about and are looking at doing long-term, in a couple of years." That just seems so far away, but you want it to be good and not suck.

More news to come later
