Something Unreal is about to become Real

      Fans who like Mass Effect,Gears of War, and Infinity Blade. Good new for you! These game are ported to firefox! It is able to played while what only need is Javascript to be more specifically it uses the asm.js sublanguage and Emscripten compiler.

"Less Cigarettes Mean better Life Y'Know"

      Engineer at both Epic games and Mozilla were able to port the game engine to WebGL and JavaScript in just 4 days! What this means is most of the modern web browser will be able to play game that runs on Unreal Engine 3. A video demonstrating the engine running on web browser.

"That's over a Million lines of code!"

      While the engine runs roughly half the speed on JavaScript compare to directly run on C++ it is still a big accomplishment. If you want to try it out by yourselves Click here! Warning! It might use up a lot of the CPU power! For now we do not know whether Epic Games will licence out the engine for the web develop kit or not. But one thing we sure know: Unreal Is Coming Real.

"Unreal + Firefox = FakeFox?"
