Kate Rayner joins us to talk about how @CoalitionGears is using Unreal Engine to achieve the believability of a world in chaos for @GearsofWar: E-Day.
Hundreds of light sources with MegaLights greatly improve the visual fidelity of everything from environment destruction to volumetrics and muzzle flashes. The team were also able to iterate faster and increase per pixel-visual complexity without compromising resolution or framerate.
This is Gears of War: E-Day.
