Samaritan Dx11 Demo : Unreal Engine 3

Epic announced a host of new features in their Unreal Engine 3 development platform today at this year's GDC, the biggest of which is support for DirectX 11 and its assorted tools. The problem is, for most people, these kind of announcements might as well be in Sanskrit — they're full of tech jargon that goes right by the average gamer.
