Pushing its Unreal Engine 4 technology at the Game Developers Conference was Epic Games, with an impressive real-time demo rammed full of special effects.



Previous years have seen Epic show off its technology with the 'Samaritan' and 'Elemental' demonstrations, set in a cyberpunk dystopia and fantasy realm respectively, but 'Infiltrator' is a guns-blazing romp through a science-fiction future.
