SANTA CLARA, CA -- NVIDIA today announced the availability of Bulletstorm, a blockbuster action game developed with Epic Games, Inc.'s Unreal Engine 3 (UE3) and its newly integrated NVIDIA® 3D Vision™ technology. 3D Vision is NVIDIA's award-winning 3D technology, which delivers an unparalleled stereoscopic 3D experience for gamers, movie-lovers and photo enthusiasts on desktop and notebook PCs.
Bulletstorm is the highly-anticipated new action shooter developed by People Can Fly and Epic Games. Published by Electronic Arts Inc., Bulletstorm is available for purchase in retail stores and online beginning today.
"Bulletstorm shows how gaming can be transformed by state-of-the-art stereoscopic 3D into something truly breathtaking," said Tony Tamasi, senior vice president of content and technology at NVIDIA. "UE3 with 3D Vision support provides unlimited possibilities for developers to add awesome 3D effects to all types of games, and the folks at People Can Fly have really hit this one out of the ballpark."
UE3 is the world's most popular game engine, powering some of the most successful titles, including Batman: Arkham Asylum, BioShock 2, Borderlands, Mass Effect 2, and the Gears of War series. Featuring full integrated support for NVIDIA 3D Vision technology, UE3 provides a robust, feature-rich platform for theater-quality 3D game development to UE3 developers and licensees worldwide. NVIDIA 3D Vision technology is also integrated into the Unreal Development Kit (UDK), the free edition of UE3, which can be downloaded for free at www.udk.com.
"You cannot imagine how incredible it is to play Bulletstorm using 3D Vision," said Lukasz Migas, lead programmer for People Can Fly. "It brings the Bulletstorm world so close that you really feel immersed in the carnage and mayhem of the Skillshot system. You have to experience it. I did and I want more!"
In addition to showing Bulletstorm in 3D, Epic will be demonstrating the latest updates to Unreal Engine 3 at its booth (Business Suite #400, South Hall) at the 2011 Game Developers Conference (GDC), Feb. 28 to March 4, at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. NVIDIA will also be demonstrating the NVIDIA 3D Vision technologies and games in its booth during the show (Booth #1802, South Hall).
"If you haven't seen Bulletstorm with 3D Vision, be prepared to be completely blown away," said Mark Rein, vice president at Epic Games. "The level of realism and stunning 3D visual effects it enables are absolutely amazing. We can't wait to see what other Unreal Engine 3 developers will come up with next!"
Both UE3 and UDK give game developers "out of the box" support for NVIDIA 3D Vision, enabling them to easily integrate breathtaking, lifelike stereoscopic 3D environments in their upcoming games.
