Gears of War Creators' New Tech Sure To Inspire Sequel Guesswork

Kotaku: What could be in a new Gears of War? Clues are always included in the major Game Developers Conference demonstrations of the Unreal Engine.

Epic Games' evolving game-making tech is shopped to developers here at GDC in San Francisco, but it also teases the potential of what Epic will do in any of its games, including the expected - Iif announced - Gears of War 3.

This year, Epic was showing off a new mesh paint tool and new support for vertex definition, a spline deformation tool and other terms, that honestly, we can't translate for you here at Kotaku.

"One day we'll show you what we're doing with this. When you see what we're doing with this, it's going to blow your mind."

"Gears Of War 3 will blow your mind"

Meat Cube 2.0?

Mercury cube 3.0

:D

[i_am_interested]

seriously, what was the point of that meat cube?

[KionicWarlord222]

It was to show physics in the game .

Inside the gears of war worm was amazing . A lot of the effect of the meat cube was used on the hearts and veins and...pretty much everything in the worm .

it was a tech demo, nothing more nothing less

[darkequitus]

Yes just a tech demo. But like all their tech demos, those techniques are implemented well in their games.

[Fanb0y]

WHERE IS BUNGIE AND SAAKING! Dam, I miss them already.

The meat cube was pretty gross. The Gears 2 worm mission was even more so, but it looked quite impressive. I do believe they implement the plusses of their tech quite well. They showed off massive numbers of enemies on-screen at once, water rippling, and meat jiggling...

it made me hungry for some reason lol

[Johnny Rotten]

when I think of "meat cube" I think of space jocks on steroids.

lol

[maxcer]

we should have the meat cube in multiplayer as the only cover available

[Sonyslave3]

MS is going all out this year Gears of war 3 and Halo reach can both easily sell 9m.

[plb]

I suspect Halo Reach will do close to 3 million if not more within 24hrs...ODST junk did 2 million on day 1 and reach looks awesome.

"I liked the meat cube it made me hungry for some reason" Lol and bubbles for you sir
