CryZenX made a Mario demo, too - but the plumber looks a little out of place in the Unreal's endless prairie. The resulting demo isn't much of a game (though it does show off just how fast a blue hedgehog can run), but it binds the potential of Unreal Engine 4 to a familiar face - letting us imagine what the coming generation of games could really look like. YouTube user CryZenx decided it was the perfect place to drop in Sonic The Hedgehog. See that vast landscape? That's the setting for Unreal Engine 4's Kite demo, which shows off the engine's ability to handle large worlds and procedural asset placement. Search around YouTube, and you'll find more than a few folks using it to put our favorite game characters into hauntingly realistic worlds.
#FREE UNREAL ENGINE 4 GAMES YOUTUBE PROFESSIONAL#
Back in March, Unreal made its incredibly popular game engine free to anybody who wants to use it, leaving amateur game developers with immediate access to professional game creation tools. Frankly, its tech demos are breathtaking - technical marvels that show off photo-realistic apartments and stunningly beautiful landscapes but what happens when you cram cartoonish mascots like Mario and Sonic The Hedgehog into these technical marvels? Mind-blowingly awesome YouTube videos, that's what. Whatever your development aspirations, Epic stands with you, both as a technology provider, and as a fellow game developer counting on UE4 to power our own games.Unreal Engine 4 has shown us what the next generation of video games can look like: large, realistic and mind-bogglingly gorgeous. Yet in Epic’s 25 years as an independent company, we have seen no time of greater opportunity for developers than today. This news comes during an unprecedented time in our industry, amidst revolutions in virtual reality and augmented reality, and in the presence of the largest community of indie developers that has ever existed, all facing a crowded market and seeking the opportunity to stand out from the crowd. And, everyone who has ever paid for a UE4 subscription will receive a $30 credit that can be spent in the Unreal Engine Marketplace. In going free, we’ll be issuing a pro-rated refund to current subscribers for their most recent month’s payment. That’s why we’re taking away the last barrier to entry, and going free.įor those of you who have been with us for the last year, thank you! With your input and participation, we’ve worked insanely hard to make the engine better, more useable and more powerful, releasing 7 major updates and more than a dozen minor updates. The state of Unreal is strong, and we’ve realized that as we take away barriers, more people are able to fulfill their creative visions and shape the future of the medium we love. When we asked people to submit their projects to be shown this year at GDC, we had the challenge of picking just 8 from over 100 finalists that were all good enough to show. The quality and variety of creative work being done has been breathtaking. The past year has been a whirlwind for everyone at Epic Games. We flipped the switch and crossed our fingers.
