New browser is awesome! drag and drop textures on meshes New Lighting engine

I'd like to see that update in the next UT3 patch please

HAL

The new lighting system looks and sounds great

glib

Oh god, the new asset browser and lightmass look incredible! Drag and drop will be most welcome. Distributed computing makes me wish I had more computers at home.

Gimme gimme! Now we just need them to announced the gears 2 PC edition we all know they're gonna do, so we can get our hands on the editor.

Ruz

wow, love the lighting

Talbot

Glib... that is exactly what I was thinking. Gears 2 pc.

If Gears 2 wasn't going to be released for the pc then the obvious place for them to release this would be in titan update for UT3.

I really hope it does come out.

EbolaV

oh really hope that they make a pc gow 2 version. its a torture that i cant play it aaaand i want an update for editor

PixelMasher

The new content browser looks very impressive and should come in handy for environment artists who have to manage large amounts of assets.

Filbot

Looking forward to this update

Quokimbo

MORTAL KOMBAT!!!!!

Sorry that is what the song made me think! haha.

Will I be able to update my UT3 to this? Would I need to buy GoW2 or whatever to get my hands on new features?

SHEPEIRO

cant wait to get me mits on that

ImSlightlyBored

look forward to using it!
looks a lot friendlier, hopefully the lighting build times are reduced, even without build PCs

carlo_c

That looks awesome, I am eagerly waiting to see what they will ship it with

jayoplus

Emitting material based lighting = Awesome.

Yeah that's my point. If this was going to be added to UT3 they would've done it then... so I'm thinking that gears 2 is going to come out with it.

Drachis

from what I've heard, no gears 2 PC, GOW 1 PC didn't sell well enough to warrant the port. so to get these delightful bits you have to license the engine

From what they told me at their booth, this is for the full engine only, not the UT3 one, and they have no plans to release Gears 2 for PC. Seeing this is going to make working at home feel so tedious

indian_boy

wow
this is the engine mass effect 2 will be using, if im not mistaken?

can't wait to see what they do with it !

Justin Meisse

Just box it up as "Unreal Engine 3" and sell it for non commercial use :-P

oh yeah, mass effect def uses unreal. i believe mass effect used the beast renderer anyway, which is what this update to unreal is incorporating (baked AO lightmaps). i'm really looking forward to ME2.
