Check  out the new Unreal 4 tech demo. A 100 square mile landscape rendered in real time...

The Kite open world demo created in Unreal Engine 4 features a diverse and beautifully realized 100 square mile landscape. Everything is generated completely in real-time at 30fps and includes fully dynamic direct and indirect illumination, cinematic depth of field and motion blur, and procedurally placed trees and foliage. Get Unreal and get going for free at www.unrealengine.com.

Actually, the demo was run on a PC with the new $1,000 NVIDIA Titan X humming along inside. I can't find any mention of what the rest of the PC's specs were, nor how much drive space it takes up, but I'm sure it's not exactly easy on the rest of the components.

Still, this high-end rig was only necessary to render the entire short film in real time at the highest possible graphical and view distance settings. The average gamer can still play some very nice-looking UE4 games by reducing those settings to whatever works best for their PC's components. Just like we all do with other games that use the latest, greatest, prettiest game engines.

Getting back to topic, it would be great to get AW on a modern, well-supported engine like UE4 if only for future support. The improved graphics and optimized performance wouldn't hurt things one bit either!

sure it was made on state of the art computer and top gfx card, i woldn't expect otherwise. When you want to show something you show it the best way possible, but the capabilities are there, and my experience with unreal engine it is that it runs damn fine even on lower end computers.

That's a strong sign of how optimized a game engine really is. If it runs well and still looks nice without requiring the latest and greatest hardware, the engine's devs have put lots of work into optimizations.

Do we have an update on this game? Is there anyone doing anything or just the servers paid.

No point in paying the servers than.

If there are still people buying AWD (a.k.a. donating) and that income is enough to more than cover the (probably low) costs of keeping the servers and Internet connection(s) going, then it's worth it to keep them going. Considering the offer from Snakeeyes11 to give people a 60% AWD bonus for every purchase of 20USD or more, this may well be the case.

Even if DL is only bringing in a small income as a result, it's better than no income, it leaves the option open for new people to try the game and for more people to potentially keep buying AWD.
