Metal – Apple’s new graphics API

This to me is more surprising than Swift. But it will make for difficult platform decisions. But since there are 4 game platforms already working on it (Unreal hasn't committed) maybe it's not a bad idea at all.

I thought Unreal was 1st in line? Why would the be on stage as the poster child for Metal yet not commit?

Sorry everybody, I was thinking of the slide of engines / companies[1]. I am aware Epic makes the Unreal Engine, but wasn't aware that the Zen Garden on Metal demo was intact UE4.
