Mr. Tim Sweeney do you think that your Unreal Engine will incorporate raytracing for future console games? 


Will we be seing new advancements in the Unreal Engine this year at E3? And if so do you think that maybe there could be a demo downloadable on the Xbox Marketplace or PSN Store for us consumers to check out? "Or maybe send me and exclusive invite"


How do you see Epic Games implementing NVidia's new DX11, Tessellation, and PhysX into the Unreal Engine when currently this is already a beast of an Engine?


And one more thing will the Unreal Tournament Franchise ever collide with Gears of War Franchise in one game? I've actually had dreams of this happening  Reaper just curb stomping the hell out of a Theron Guard. This would be so awesome.


Oh yeah and for some reason I think my account on Epics forums was stolen I can't login anymore my username is the same DevilsTestament.


Below my tattoo the words say "Get Raped" 


Thank you again EVGA for this opportunity and also Mr. Tim Sweeney for even listening.

Hello there.

Will the Unreal Game Engine have a selection in-game regarding how many CPU Cores upto and including HT being implemented particularly on Intels Chips that you can use to drive the game to higher limits?

1. Will Epic push towards DX11 becoming more mainstream than DX9 is? And by that I mean whether or not they will support the PC gaming environment that most game producers today ignore in order to produce console games in DX9.

2. Do you ever think that PC gaming will ever reach the number of players it used to have before Online Multiplayer gameplay became mainstream for consoles?

1. we know you are a fan of software rendering like myself. do you plan on using REYES in future game engines or some form of 3d voxels?

2. what is your opinion on opencl?

2. do you think in ~5 years time future PC's will have coprocessors like a gpu? or will we have one x86 many core processor?

1. Are you making any plans to better utilize multiple core processors in future games?

2. What's a typical day like for you?

3. What kind of progress has been made on unreal engine 4? 

Epics release of the Unreal Engine for use to the linux community as been a windfall for linux gaming and I for one would like to say Thank You.

Will the Unreal  Engine 4 be utilizing OpenGL 3.2 for rendering technology?

With many of Epics bigger game titles running the Unreal 3 Engine, will Epic Games start releasing some of their bigger game title natively for the linux platforms?

1. What is your aim as far as your creativity goes?
2. What features are you planning to bring over from UE3, and what features are you planning to add into unreal engine 4?
3. When you design a game engine for the PC, Will You put alot of different things in it that other game developers dont.

Finally send me 3 T-Shirts please!

What are your thoughts on the next generation of gaming interfaces (such as Natal) and their use with FPS?

Many new games appear to be developed with consoles in mind first, PC second. Do you think this trend will continue or now that newer technologies exist on the PC side, a shift back to PC focused games.

From a developers standpoint, do you feel that piracy is the real reason developers are leaving the PC or does it have more to do with being able to target a fixed set of hardware making development and debugging easier?

The Nintendo Wii seemed to catch many off guard with it's focus on unique interfaces and fun interactivity and less on graphic horsepower. Do you think that developers are becoming too focused on the quality of the graphics, animation and effects while missing the ball on gameplay and experience?

1. Do you two ever get confused while in the same room with someone else called Tim and someone says "Hey Tim!"

2. Can i use EVBOT to increase the performance of the latest Unreal Engine?

3.  Would i see any benefit from running the latest Unreal Engine on a Dual CPU motherboard compared to a single CPU board using the same hardware (eg. same graphics card set-up, same memory etc)?

When is/are the gaming community going to come out with another "space" game? Freespace was one of my faves, the physics were awesome. What, is everyone putting their dollars into FPS? No physics involved.

I don't understand why we've come so far with graphics, just to make games LESS immersive from a "player's" point of view, and so much more immersive from a "viewer's" point of view.

Yes, graphics have jumped ahead so far in the last 5 years, it's awesome. Great, but what do reviewers have to say about games? What do those that play said games have to say?

"Too short, but visually awesome."

"No story, but the graphics kick azz!"

"If I could afford a $6000 computer, I'd buy this game in a New York Second!"

Why is everything so complicated now?

Why can't I just drive a race car with good physics, and slide the tail in the corner?

Why can't I just fly a plane on "EASY", why do I have to be a master pilot?

Why can't I play a FPS and fight the Nazi's by myself, why the hell do I have to go online?

Where the hell are my socks with the red stripes on the top? I'm also missing one with blue stripes. Life is hell. 

1) With the growing use of DRM in games, do you forsee a shift from DRM like SecuROM to something that is more tightly involved in the game's execution, say, the game engine itself?

2) Since DX11 is compatible with DX10 hardware, albeit slower, will the UR3 engine be patched for both DX10 & DX11 functionality (ie UR3.5) or would you instead prefer the engine to be rebuilt for the DX11 API only (ie UR 4)?

3) Technologically, what is the primary market for Unreal engine games?  Do you find most of your players tend towards higher end or mid-range systems?

Mr. Sweeney,


1) Unreal Engine 3 is one of the most popular engines on the market right now, but it is starting to show it's age.  Any plans on updating the engine (Unreal Engine 4?) to compete with other engines, such as CryEngine?


2) Hardware tessellation is one of the big features that will debut with DirectX 11.  Will future Epic Games games have support for tessellation?


3) With Netbooks becoming a larger portion of the PC market, some developers are including a setting called "Netbook Mode" to lower graphics and sound to a level where the game is playable on low-spec Netbooks.  Will Epic Games be implementing a sort of this in future titles?

+1  Ask this...

But don't ask me where dhemke's socks are, maybe ask the hottie at the LBCO

Dude, have you seen her? In the south end on Bryne? Black hair, lotza booty, I'd bang her... now back to our regularily scheduled program...

if ut3 engine was so extremely popular, is there any plan to redefine the unreal engine and to streamline everything. 
(say to incorporate teh frozen engine (bf:bc) with ut engine) ?

Hello Tim,
 
(1) What games might be available for mobile phones in 2010?
 
(2) Will the "Unreal" engine take full advantage of "Fermi" when it becomes available, and what if any improvements will be made to the engine?
 
(3) Concerning "Unreal Lightmass", will fps take a major hit, or will some of the calculations be offloaded to the cpu?

Thank You for taking questions and have a nice day.
