I remember Epic Games saying that during the transition to the next generation some developers would still be using UE3. Seems like they were right.
Back in 2011, UE3 received a major update that coincided with the release of the Samaritan demo: http://www.unrealengine.com/news/epic_games_releases_march_2011_unreal_development_kit_beta/
I don't remember seeing a single UE3 game using any of those features or looking like Samaritan, because these games were still being made for last-gen consoles. Despite the engine being superseded now, and UE4 obviously being able to create superior image quality, UE3 still hasn't been used to its maximum potential apparently.
