Unreal Engine 3 HTML 5 tech demo released
"The Unreal Engine running in a browser without any plugins, purely on HTML 5, WebGL and JavaScript? Pull the other one, lass, it's got bells on," says someone or other. "I bet you believe everything The Man tells you." No, curious character! It's real and everything! Why, you can see for yourself, as Epic has released a browser version of its UE3 tech demo Epic Citadel for us all to marvel at.

Epic's shiny new Unreal Engine 4 will also be able to output HTML games.

An engine like this it's probably more than what Chrome can chew at the moment. It'll be easier if they add asmjs support in the future.
