These impressive graphics are running in a browser

Color me impressed, damn that was impressive

These Silly Headlines Are Trying To Be Like Kotaku

Firefox: runs games better than the Xbone LOLOL

The next Firefox version won't be 25-30MB but 250-300MB, :)

The graphics looks better than SKYRIM.

The waterfall is REALLY awful looking, but overall, still impressive for a browser.

My main complaint is it uses Firefox. Every time I use that browser, I get a virus.

The problem is and always will be bandwidth. "Streaming" games sounds fine except for all the hiccups along the way. It's why even online multiplayer games have a client and server model.

Water doesn't look good, texture needs a bit more work, physics seem to be a little bit off, apart from that it's amazing :D.

little that they didn't tell is that you need to install full engine plugin + all the game assets are downloaded. So basically you have a full game installed on your PC. Browser is just a way to distribute and display a shell - nothing more.

Besides I was expecting Frostbite3 C&C game 2 years ago - **** this!

browser > xbox one

Let the Video Game Browser Wars COMMENCE!!!!

This just doesn't excite me. Maybe it should, but it doesn't. I can't remember ever thinking..."I wish [insert game name here] was playable in a browser". I don't see what the big deal is about downloading and installing a game.

Perhaps an example would make this opportunity a bit more concrete for some folks:

Shadow Complex 2 scenario:

I start playing on my Linux, Windows, or Mac desktop in Firefox.

I save my game to some kind of synced cloud storage, perhaps provided by Steam or a Google Drive.

I open Firefox on my mobile device, and pick right back up. The GPU & RAM are lower-end than a desktop, naturally, but Unreal Engine inherently adapts and keeps the framerate solid.

At work, during some boring conference call, I open Firefox on my laptop and knock out a couple more areas in the game.

SC2's drop-in cross-platform co-op allows a buddy to drop in from his mobile device (via Firefox).

Now, will any gaming platform owners jump on board with this? Hell, probably not. But a single rendering engine running within a multi-platform browser? ...an interesting opportunity, and WAY more powerful than @#%%@#% Flash.

This is equal parts exciting and terrifying... On one hand, cross-platform (omni-platform, really) excellence is more within reach than ever. On the other hand, excellent toolsets like this are mostly used to chuck volumes of turds into the pipeline. We can't have one without the other, of course...

i want to make games with unreal 4, but not for browser but for steam

my phone have firefox, so... can it run it?

Yay, Firefox!

I think this has some great potential for the future of gaming. How cool would it be to not have to install a game, but rather just start up an internet browser and play your games over the internet. All of the game data and processing could be handled by servers as the game is streamed to your browser. This may certainly be scary and confusing to some, but it has some interesting potential.

I hope by being able to run the Unreal 4 engine in a browser it can make games more accessible to more people, more platforms and ultimately more games!

I don't really think this has much use in the current society, where when you only play games in the browser to play casual games, whereas if you want to play a bigger game, you're much better off playing it as a stand-alone product.

However, where I think this technology is most useful is in visualising things in 3D. Examples I can think of include for scientific purposes, or to improve the possibility for people to make and share things for 3D printing and everything that's connected to that, or a future version of any maps site, like Google Earth. Because whenever I want to look up an address, I'm not going to use the Google Earth program, I just want to look it up quickly while browsing. Eventually a whole realistic 3D visualisation of the Earth in a browser is something that is a logical progression from 2D through Streetview and then 3D.

It has its uses, for sure, but I don't think hardcore gaming is where it's at. Unless browsing becomes something different altogether. Like if the browser is completely integrated into the operating system and it's similar to just playing a game like you do at the moment, but with added internet stuff. But then I doubt you could still call it a browser.

VERY Impressive. I have no idea how to feel about this. I never used a web browse game before could someone who experienced them tell us is it rockin or there net issues that keep it from glory?

Yeah, because gamers are just dying to play games in browsers
