Epic shows off new Unreal Engine 3 upgrades in GDC tech demo

Last week at GDC 2011, Epic brought some heat with their new tech demo of the improvements that they've made to the very popular Unreal Engine 3. Oddly they didn't introduce it as UE4, as the visual effects in this trailer are leaps and bounds better than what we're used to seeing from the engine. Although maybe that's because most of the UE3 games are targeted for consoles, and the PC versions are held back from looking this good because of porting. Either way check it out, previously there was just a leaked camcorder quality video of the footage, but now IGN has posted the direct HD video for our enjoyment:
