Well this week is shaping up to be a good news week. Eventually I will have to go on break but I guess it isn't this week. 
West Point, NY May 10, 2005 - The U.S. Army today announced that it is expanding its technology agreement with Epic Games. Since 2000, Epic's Unreal® Engine 2 has served as the foundation for America's Army, the Official U.S. Army Game. To take advantage of leap-ahead capabilities afforded by Epic Games' newest engine, the Army will begin developing it's next generation versions of America's Army on the Unreal Engine 3® in the coming months.
"The Unreal Engine has enabled us to develop one of the most popular games in the world. At the same time, the Unreal Engine has provided us the power and flexibility to develop revolutionary training and education applications for use across the government," said Colonel Casey Wardynski, project director and originator of the "America's Army" concept. "The gameplay, environments and immersive action generated using Unreal Engine 3 will allow us to create ever more realistic scenarios and environments through which young adults can learn about Soldiering and through which Soldiers can master skills ranging from lifesaving to countering IEDs in the Global War on Terrorism." And just imagine, this is a free game! |
