Google's Android operating system is certainly pretty appealing at the moment, but it seems that it is about to become even more appealing, since the first Unreal Engine 3 solutions for it started to make an appearance into the wild.

It seems that game publisher Epic Games has already started working on the development of their Unreal Engine 3 technology for the Android platform, even if nothing was announced officially until now.


This proves that Unreal Engine 3 can run on Android devices, and that it might not be too long before the first games using it would be submitted to the Android Market.

Here's what Mark Rein, Vice President and Co-Founder of Epic Games, tweeted recently: “We've demoed Unreal Engine 3 on Android w/Tegra 2 before and at KCG today we showed it on a Samsung Galaxy S device.”

Moreover, as a recent article on Andorid Central notes, he tweeted a link to a YouTube video in which we can see Trendy Entertainment's Dungeon Defenders running on a Tegra 2 powered device, video embedded at the bottom of this article.

Those of you who might have already encountered Unreal Engine 3 should know that Android users are about to get some great gaming experiences if the solution come to Google's mobile operating system.

Of course, it would still take some time before developers start licensing Unreal Engine 3 tech for Android, that's for sure, but it seems that the first steps in this direction were already taken.

Recently, Epic Games announced that iOS support was included in the UDK (Unreal Developers Kit), and we've previously heard of webOS being added to the list too, so it would make sense that they turned to Android too with their solution.

Hopefully, they would make a formal announcement in the near future, and the first games would start emerging soon too, so stay tuned for more on this.

Android Google операционная система, безусловно, очень привлекательным на данный момент, но мне кажется, что она собирается стать еще более привлекательным, так как первый Unreal Engine 3 для решения он начал делать вид в дикой природе.

Похоже, что издатель игры Epic Games уже приступила к работе по развитию их Unreal Engine 3 технологии для платформы Android, даже если ничего не было объявлено официально до сих пор.


Это доказывает, что Unreal Engine 3 может работать на устройствах Android , и что она не может быть слишком задолго до первых игр с использованием он будет представлен на Android Market.

Вот то, что Марк Рейн, вице-президент и соучредитель Epic Games, чирикал недавно: "Мы предназначалась Unreal Engine 3 на W Android / Tegra 2 до и в KCG сегодня мы показали это на Galaxy S устройство Samsung".

Кроме того, как последние статьи на Andorid отмечает, Центральной, он чирикал ссылку на видео YouTube, в котором мы можем видеть Модные Entertainment's Dungeon Защитники, работающие на Tegra 2 питание устройства , встроенного видео в нижней части этой статьи.

Те из вас, кто, возможно, уже встречались с Unreal Engine 3 должны знать, что Android пользователей собираетесь получить большой опыт игры, если решение прийти к операционной системе Google Mobile.

Конечно, было бы еще некоторое время, прежде чем разработчики начинают лицензировании движка Unreal Engine 3 технологии для Android, это точно, но кажется, что первые шаги в этом направлении уже были приняты.

В последнее время Epic Games объявила, что IOS поддержку было включено в УДК (Unreal Developers Kit), и мы ранее слышали о WebOS добавляются в список тоже, так что имеет смысл, что они обратились к Android тоже с их решением.

Будем надеяться, что они сделают официальное заявление в ближайшем будущем, и первые игры начнутся новые скоро тоже, так что следите за появлением новых по этому вопросу.
