Unreal Engine 3 UDK heads to Mac OS X this month

Unreal Engine 3 UDK heads to Mac OS X this month

Posted on Sep 21, 2011 by MG1

If you are a computer gamer and you happen to prefer the Mac platform the lineup of games is much smaller that the PC gamers have access to. If there is a game made it generally hits the PC along with the game consoles whereas the Mac generally gets left out of the gaming party. That will be changing soon with an announcement from Epic.
Epic uses the Unreal Engine as the platform behind some of its coolest video games for the PC and more. About four years ago, Epic announced that it was bringing some of its most popular franchises to the Mac. That meant that the Unreal Engine needed to come to OS X as well.

Distributing your OS digitally certainly makes for an easy upgrade, but what happens when your hard disk spontaneously combusts -- taking Lion's recovery partition with it? Unless you planned ahead and rolled your own install image, you were stuck taking an arduous and painful detour back to Snow Leopard before being given the chance to re-up with Cupertino's latest. That changes today, with the Lion Recovery Disk Assistant, a utility that duplicates the OS's recovery partition onto an external drive of your choosing -- allowing you to boot directly into an installer which'll re-download the latest jungle cat, sans sojourn to 10.6. To do so, you'll need an external drive larger than 1GB, a m...
