Epic FBI Agents

Raymond Daily March 28, 2012 General Tech, Software & Gaming

News has reached us that Epic Games have agreed to licence the Unreal computer games engine to several US government agencies including the FBI

The Unreal engine is used in such titles as Batman: Arkham City and Mass Effect 3.

The full extent of the financial deal has not been disclosed, but in a statement they disclosed that a fee of $10m had been agreed for a multi-year contract for just a single agency. The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) awarded the contract under the Sirius program. The goal of the Sirius program is to develop serious games that result in better decision-making by teaching participants to recognize and mitigate the effects of their own biases when analysing information used to make decisions.

As part of the deal Epic have created the UGN – Unreal Government Network to provide support to the developers.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
