One small thing that is wrong in the video, Silicon Knight's issue wasn't that the "Epic Games failed to provide a working game engine", but that "Epic Games failed to provide assistance in the development of the game engine." The long short story of the whole thing is that SK had some goals and asked EG if the Unreal Engine 3 could reach those goal. EG said "maybe, but not now" and SK basically made a partnership deal with EG to develop the Unreal Engine to meet their needs. At first, things were fine, but at some point EG started to focus all their effort on their Gears of War project and any inquiries from SK could were taking more and more time to get answered (at the late stage, as much as 4 months without any answers). Now, some people who don't understand the development of game engine could argue that it was Silicon Knight's fault to not consider that the Unreal Engine wasn't ready to meet their need, but the thing is that Silicon Knight ended up creating tools for the Unreal Engine that was doing just the thing, but had to access and modify some of the "bad" codes in the Unreal Engine 3 and fixing many of its internal issues. Even without the assistance of Epic Games, Silicon Knight was still moving forward, but just at a much slower speed while hemorrhaging funds like crazy. During the limited exchanged between EG and SK, EG learned of the fixes created by SK and wanted them to give it to them because, guess what, those issues were also existing in their Gears of War. SK refused telling EG to go "f**k themselves because they never helped in that"and that's where the thing started to explode. EG pulled out the contract that made it so that SK was supposed to give its share of development in the engine and that's when SK sued Epic. Because of how basically none of the juries understood what SK was trying to achieve and what went wrong, they lost the trial, but that exposed that SK modified the Unreal Engine's core code which EG used for its Copyright infringement. The fact that SK sued EG and, in the legal public documents, it explained things that was supposed to be secret between EG and SK, EG also sued for Misappropriation of Trade Secrets. (Note: the Misappropriation of Trade Secrets wouldn't have been possible if SK had won. It's only because SK lost that this was validated.) The Breach of Contract is basically because, as I previously wrote, SK said "f**k you" to EG when EG left them mostly on their own and then asked them for the result of their work. When Silicon Knight lost, it not only had to pay Epic Games the money, but also basically give them everything they have done on the Unreal Engine. One of those work was the tool that Silicon Knight made by modifying the Kismet tool in the Unreal Engine so that it could be used by 3D artists who had no knowledge in coding. Most of those things made by Silicon Knight ended up being part of the core changes done in the Unreal Engine 4 which, yes, include the Blueprint system.

I remember how in the 00s, it felt like every other game was either using UE or id Tech. They had slightly differing features (for example those shiny surfaces introduced in Quake 3 Arena), some games didn't bother replacing the built-in UI for settings, and UE somehow always felt smoother. A couple of times a game using a new version of UE would surprise me with something I never thought my hardware could do.

The Unreal Engine marketplace was a good idea that seems to fall flat after seeing the same assets being used in game after game.. I like the idea as a artist my self being able to make money on art that's created.. But it really has made many games copy and paste.

I was ex moderator (tech help guy)/server admin and beta tester for small indie dev team using UE4. They (as June/2022) are using UE 4.26.

till this date the original 1998 Unreal game is one of my most favorite game ever, all original 39 maps were amazing, people say GTA 3 revolutionized 3D gaming, but Unreal 1998 did with it open world atmosphere and diverse maps. The first time I stepped out of the crashed Vortex spacecraft to the beautiful Nyleve's Fall map, the song, the waterfall, the enemies, the weapons, perfection. I preferred it over Unreal Tournament 1999 which was mostly about death matching, Unreal monsters were ore fun to fight. Its a shame that Unreal 1998 never got a remake on modern Unreal engines....

Unreal Tournament was so damn fun even in single player. Custom maps like the giant living room were so fun.

I remember when Unreal first came out, there was massive talk about how beautiful the sky was. And the sky was very impressive.

I remember playing the 1st Unreal ... at the time it was graphically mind blowing
