Remember when the joke was that Unreal Engine 3 was the best, next-gen tech to use if developers wanted to add stylish browns to their titles? Epic wants you to forget all that.

Epic Games, makers of titles like Gears of War 2 and Unreal Tournament 3, have released a new trailer featuring the enhancements made to that other thing they make: the Unreal engine.

Seeing this gets us more than a little excited for the environments in Gears of War 3.

Beyond that, Epic has also released the November 2010 edition of its Unreal Development Kit. The kit--which is available for free from Fileshack for non-commercial use--gives creative types Epic's Unreal Engine 3 framework, allowing them to create their own colorful Unreal-powered world. Color and the Unreal Engine mentioned in the same sentence? It really is the future.

  The flowers were a bit out of context, those were higher poly models to show off the depth of field, but you should play Batman: Arkham Asylum or Gears of War 2, they pull it off.
