Unreal Engine 4 has been a bit forgotten lately, but Epic certainly reminded everyone of its existence with a rather amazing annoucement: The engine now costs $19 a month, with 5% of the game's revenue, and it even comes with the whole source code of the engine! Impressive stuff, directly aimed at Unity and Cryengine's new pricing. And to prove how good the engine is, here is a new trailer!
Update: Added a video showing short sequences from many games using UE3 or UE4, released recently or still to be released.

CryEngine has been competitive...
So has DICE's Frostbite engine and others...still inhouse proprietary 3d engines are much better basically you don't want halo to run using this engine.
you must be joking right?

While Cryengine is a fantastic engine, gaining users, it is nowhere near the amount of people using UnrealEngine in one form or another.

but then again cryengine is half the price and royalty free for indies. I know which i'd go for.
It's good though. Hopefully no more over reliance on a single engine this time around.
There's already games being built specifically for the new consoles that are adopting it - well see more yet to be announced ones at E3.
Don't forget the 360 had been out for over a year? before we saw gears, and I cant recall any UE3 engine games on xbox/ps2? Given the far larger install base and life cycle of last gen devs are a lot more reluctant to ignore them..so adopting an engine that would likely mean they'd have to rather than one that doesn't is the bigger risk.
But I agree.. would be nice if Epic put out a game to promote their engine too..rather than just demos
Smaller devs are moving further towards licensed engines. I think Unity3D (which has had a steady growth) and UE4 will be the two largest in the coming years.
Maybe they'll announce a real game at E3.

We found out shortly after that, that it was going to be Gears of War, and that those models were from that, but yeah, it was sooner than now, in comparison.
Now, a little question, what kind of program are you using to see the videos in your PCs? I can't see them without slowdowns and I have a well prepared PC.
