Hello all, I run the tutorial site GameFromScratch.com and I have recently started a new tutorial series covering Unreal Engine 4, that takes the reader from zero experience to completing a complete 2D game from scratch in UE4. The tutorial series is available in both text and video formats, covering more or less the same topics. Each tutorial section goes into an extreme amount of detail and should (when finished) be more than enough to get a beginner started.
Currently the series consists of:
Videos:
Series Introduction An overview of Unity vs Unreal, the strengths and features of each and series description
Unreal Engine Introduction, Overview and Hello World A getting started guide that ends in a complete application.
Text:
Series Introduction
Unreal Engine Part One: Getting Started with Unreal EngineGuided tour of the Unreal Engine tools, UI, shortcuts, etc
Unreal Engine Part Two: Your First Application Creating a Scene, Instancing Objects, Cameras and creating a Blueprint
EDIT: Complete series Table of Contents now live. Video series are posted below text tutorials.
I am currently working on sections on Sprites/Flipbooks and Character Controllers, so expect them soon. I will also be putting together a series table of contents post shortly.
The tutorial is actually the first of two. The second series will cover the exact same process in another game engine which shalt not be named… so users can easily and at a glance, compare the workflow process of the two engines. The series is using Blueprint for game logic, although I will probably do a post near the end covering doing the same thing in C++ instead.
I don’t pretend to be a subject matter expert, so if you spot a mistake, I certainly want to hear about it! Of course any and all feedback appreciated. If you are a new Unreal Engine user and something wasn’t clear to you, I certainly want to know about it so hopefully I can add some clarity. One mistake I know I committed ( and will continue to commit ), is I keep calling Blueprints Kismet… once a name is in my head, it takes a lot to get it unstuck! 
I hope these are useful to some of you, let me know what you think.
