Epic Releases Free Version of Unreal Engine

Posted by Soulskill on from the still-waiting-on-the-one-must-fall-engine dept.

anomnomnomymous writes "Just a week after Unity announced its engine is now available for free to indie users, Epic Games has revealed a free version of its popular Unreal Engine technology. Called the Unreal Development Kit (UDK), it is a free edition of UE3 that allows community, modder and indie users more access to the engine's features and is available for all. Epic said game developers, students, hobbyists, researchers, creators of 3D visualizations and simulations plus digital filmmakers can all take advantage of the UDK for non-commercial use. The UDK site also offers detailed product features, technical documentation, commercial licensing terms and support resources."

    Actually GoldenEye (N64) invented hit locations, including head shots.

    Unless you used the golden gun.
