That's.... astounding! I'm glad to be living in an age where technology is so rapidly being developed!
Now if only my PC hardware and wallet would catch up :(

Huh, interesting. I know that there was some Flash support in my version, though that mostly consisted of menus. I think I'll have to take another look at the UDK.
The future!
Now u can play browser based games and not be embarrassed in doing so.
Suck on that farmville, tf2 running in my browsah ftw!

@TheGoldenMonkey I was gonna to make a funny statement of as to why,
but then I noticed the same reason people buy a Mac over a PC can be applied to why people buy home consoles over a PC.

wonder if steve jobs will ever admit that his "thoughts on flash" were utter bullshit. he does contradict himself.. a lot.
@RoverTHX The main reason why people buy consoles is because they're cheaper and (usually) easier to take care of.
I call bullshit on this. Adobe is not known for efficiency and Epic occasionally uses monsters of computers to do tech demoes on. I'm pretty sure they were playing on some ridiculously expensive PC.
smoger: trying to tell steve jobs a flaw in his work is like trying to tell an uptight asshole that he needs some pants, he'll go ape shit
Awesome! Now it's a good time to get a dual Xeon system... Maybe it will be enough? Rofl, a real 3d game inside Flash, that piece of useless shit dosen't like dual core CPUs for anything more complex than video, Unreal 3 requires most likely a computer in the several thousand price range. As cool as this is, it will be still unplayable for on the average computer for at least 5 more years. I wish everybody would join Apple in the fight of the Macromedia spawned demon, that Adobe managed to turn into the Antichrist.
If flash has GPU acceleration it would probably run just about as well as vanilla UT3 does, which doesn't require an amazing computer, but no, you won't be able to run it on integrated graphics still.
Damn.... this really might change things.... Think about all the time I spend here when I could be playing...... oh shit
Yes come one come all! Join Apple in the fight against the antichrist! It's simple, just fill out these forms blah blah.. oh yes and there's going to be a 30 percent fee on anything you purchase..blah blah blah.. we might just need to track your whereabouts at all times..blah blah blah.. ok now prick your finger and just sign on the dotted line with your blood and your all set! Welcome aboard scamp!
Now that's what i call news !
Oh, only 21 Comments ? Yeah, the Destructoid Community seems to get more excited about the amount of DvDs a 360 game ships with, or the installation time of a specific ps3 game. Simple minded folk.

I am not sure why this is so exciting. Unity has been around for quite some time, and has run WAY better than the recent versions of flash. There is even a (quite shiny) browser game using it, which has existed for close to two years now. http://www.interstellarmarines.com/game/
I'm not sure why people are in shock that unreal has been ported to flash. Not like Quake was ported to html 5 or anything. It is sort of the direction flash has to go though. Lower level things should really evolve into html5 and advanced things should be on the flash side of things.
@liddokun
Join Apple? Nope.

This is interesting I guess, Unity supports browser gaming but I don't really see it's potential. Playing games on a browser can amount to some crappy performance and if you're playing a high end game... why not just play a regular PC game?
So Epic, everything except Nintendo consoles can support Unreal Engine 3 eh? Yeah, that's not bullshit at all.

@REWQ- it's not bullshit. Flash 11 really is that powerful- direct access to the GPU from Flash, much in the same way that WebGL does it. And AS3 is much easier to program in than WebGL is.
Of course, you'll still need to download all the data, which in the case of UT3 is several gigs, but you'll be able to get that graphical fidelity. So it's highly unlikely you'll actually *get* UT3, but smaller games will still be able to leverage the Unreal engine.

Bloody hell, that's pretty damn impressive. Given, you'll still need the muscle to power it, but the fact that you can get something this meaty out of Flash 11 really is something.
@Dr-Peace, Yemala: Unity3D also will support Flash as a deployment target. http://blogs.unity3d.com/2011/09/01/unity-and-flash-a-sneak-peek/
@Dr-Peace: you don't really have to "join" Apple as in supporting their products in any way, but not wanting Flash on their mobile platform is one of the best choices the IT world made in 20 years. Want an Android? Cool, hardware choice is awesome, just leave the Flash apk in the Market, undownloaded. It runs like crap on any mobile platform anyway, be it single or dual core. Just to point it out, I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab: so far THE choice to watch video on a mobile device even high profile 1080p h264, but useless at Flash. I also have an Asus Transformer with that overrated Tegra 2 chip, and the dual core helps multi tasking but even over clocked at 160% or 1.6ghz depending on how you want to look at it, Flash makes it look miserable. But that's to be expected when a simple game in Flash can have fps issues on a Core 2 Duo and kick the fan of any laptop.
@DevinKills : sure, act like the Android fanboy, nobody will notice :P
Flash was a bad idea to begin with, now it's getting only more bloated and slower every time they pimp it.
I won't say HTML5 is the answer because it's godly or whatever, but... The browser is what makes a difference there, so there is choice and more chances for optimisation.

Flash might not be the best platform to play videos on tablets. But this is because of the manufacturers who do not provide Adobe with sufficient APIs (see http://www.craftymind.com/guimark3/). Talking about technical details on a gaming blog is pointless. It will only lead to fanboyism and unsubstantial rants. Flash made RIAs like games possible. Where Java Applets failed Flash gave developers and consumers a working alternative.
People who rant about Flash also often forget that Flash is not only a platform but a proven tool for artists. Even if the Flash plugin goes away Flash as a tool will stay.
Saying Flash is a bad idea is like saying Xbox or Windows are bad ideas. Macromedia/Adobe coined the Internet with Flash in a positive way. Millions of people love to play flash games, thousands of developers earned money with products running on Flash, YouTube and other ground breaking internet endeavours are based on Flash.
