Unreal Engine 4 is now free

There's quite a lot of difference between them. The syntax is the same, but C# has a lot of nice friendly features to make it easier. C++ is pretty low level, so you have to deal with pointers and things (and NULL pointers). Epic have done most of the hard part though, and you can make a reasonable game by just using the build in graphical editor, though it does have some drawbacks.

Isn't C more lower level than C++ ??

[cesrai]

I don't even know how to use it.

You will if you want to.

Kinda. C++ is an object orientated version of C as far as I know (and UE4 makes heavy use of the object orientation), but I'm pretty sure that you get the same amount of low level access in C++ as you do in C.

That said, afaik operating systems are mostly written in C rather than C++, so there might be more differences there.

Operative systems are written in multiple languages and have both low and high end components .

C++ is C with added functionalities basically , one of the being the use of classes / objects / interfaces instead of structs.

You can use all the C functions and syntax in c++ if you disable the damn pre-processor warnings for deprecated stuff.

So you can type C stuff in C++ and use C functions , I do it all the time.

Source : Many years of using C++ on my computer engineering source.

this is one of those times I wish I had  a titan black

Why?

[Doobeedoo]

So awesome when I saw this, cause I was just reinstalling new UT4 and came across this news. Nice.

[alicskysareblue]

Why?

because titans are really meant for game developers and it would be a damn good card to use to develop games on the unreal engine.

 

also I am weird I have a very strong interest in workstation cards not that I need one (ever)  but still

Ok, didn't realize you were a dev.

Holy crap, the unreal engine just went Free2play! 

 

No but really, pretty interesting. Hopefully this allows more creators to do their thing and in turn make this a viable business model so that others might adopt.

ha I am not ! ive messed around a bit with gimp and blender but I am no professional, athough I am trying to improve my skills at it.

[Inkz]

Wow, now that deal is Unreal.

[DeViLzzz]

Awesome!  I will now make nothing with it cuz I ain't got the SKILLZ man.

Unreal's video tutorials is pretty good (And in most cases annotated if changes has happened in later versions).

[Humbug]

Check this out in HD, it's made on unreal4 by one dude (although he is a pro). Looks crazy good despite the video artifacts...

No current GPU will be able to run this scene at a good enough framerate to use in a real game. Still it's good to see what unreal4 can render in realtime...
