This is Unreal!

And for once, we're not exaggerating! TenTonHammer goes behind the walls of the fortress-like Epic Games booth to see what the latest version of the popular game development suite Unreal Engine 3 has to offer. And, as the folks designing the next-in-line fantasy MMO Vanguard: Saga of Heroes can tell you, it's not just a robust first-person shooter development platform.

The latest version of Unreal Engine 3 was demoed at a slick 2560 x 1600 resolution on Renegade XPS PCs - Dell's newest ultra high-end gaming line of computers featuring Intel 965 Extreme Edition processors overclocked at 4.26 Ghz and AGEIA PhysX processors (first-to-market hardware physics accelerators). An Epic rep lauded the sponsorship and ongoing partnership with Dell, saying it was a win-win-win for gamers, designers, and hardware manufacturers when all three maintain close relations and open lines of communication.
