UE3 UDK was free, it's a monthly sub now to get the UE4 UDK isn't it?

I believe it's free for non commercial users, but has the monthly charge and (I think) a one time charge for any game commercially released. From what I can read this is drastically reduced from the previous charge, which was 25% of any money made after the first 50,000 dollars.

Well UE3 licensing changed during the course of it's development. At the start it was extremely expensive. I think Bioware paid ~$2M for it for Mass Effect iirc I remember threads about it on the Epic developer forums.
But eventually they changed it to a free for non-commercial use but $99 and have to pay 25% for all revenue above $5k. Then it turned to 25% on revenue above $50K. For UE4 it's $19.99 a month per user and 5% on all revenue.
In terms of cost/ease of use it's probably the best option atm. You get full access to the source, which you don't with Cry Engine, UE4 is also significantly easier to develop on -- at least in my opinion. Between me and a friend we were able to model a character in maya, rig it using Epic's toolkit and import and getting it all working in UE4 (including input, animation blending, physics, everything) in 3 days without having any experience in the engine at all. The new scripting system that replaces kismet is awesome. I was building automatic opening doors, cameras that track player entities, bunch of things, all in an hour.

In this video is a lot of unreal engine 3 games and demos.... IMO it is kinda false advertising.
