"it's simulating a camera, it's a game engine!" ... "amazing... and it's completely useless for games!.." man I love this guy. Epic needs more guys like this too keep pushing limits!

This guy needs a raise. Wow he's excellent. He tells you everything you wanted to know and nothing you didn't, and maintains superb confidence.

[betraid]

so nice to watch a person who know about what he is talking about, very nice video a lot to learn from it, ty

[omnianima]

Not knowing anything about lightning, this was beyond amazing...the possibilities to change the scene in such an extent and most of it is rather learnable...enlightening video (no pun intended)

[ShiroiAkumaSama]

Woah, he is brilliant at explaining! He makes it look so easy.

[Silpheedx]

Awesome Lecture! Thank you so much for this. If at all possible it would be awesome to see a video recorded by Sjoerd De Jong on his own time, slower and with more explanation. I understand at shows you have to go as fast as you can but for all us devs the devil is in the details.

[Xiox]

Games are going to be incredible in the future. I can't wait to see the different things developers can come up with.

[Cantblendthis]

Unreal Engine 'It Just Works!' ... new tagline confirmed
