Epic Games isn't just showing off the latest improvements to the Unreal Engine 3 at GDC 2011. They're showing us what the next-generation of games should look like. Do the images hold up to the hype?

Considering the percentage of games released every year powered by the Unreal Engine 3, Epic might have a point. Upgraded features to UE3 don't just mean Epic will have prettier games. It means a major chunk of developers will suddenly gain access to these enhanced tools, rendering cigarettes so real I want to light up and robot monstrosities you can almost reach out and touch, which would likely be a bad idea.

These images are from a trailer being shown off at GDC this week, which should be dropping on the general public next week with the weight of a killer mech.

Meh, looks good but... what is gameplay going to be like next gen? Cause if it continues down this scripted cinematic path, I'll be a huge Nintendo fanboy...

Not that I really care for it looking that good in the middle of a firefight, but if they can make the world that convincing in an actual game I'll be impressed.

I agree but at the same time, that isn't that huge a leap from what we have now.

 

Also, that would be expensive as hell if that was all game play level graphics. I mean companies are already going broke trying to compete with the stuff available now. We literally only have like less then ten companies publishing on the console or PC level with those type of graphics as standard and imagine what would happen with the next FF game.
