WE HEAR A the Unreal 3 engine is taking shape. But I have to disappoint all of you PC lovers as this time we are talking about Playstation 3 version.
It won’t be the launch title, whether we talk about Unreal engine 3 or your actual Unreal Tournament 2007. It is planned that the real game should show its face at some point in the year 2007.
Epic never wanted to be on the launch title bandwagon as you have to nail yourself to the deadlines and these guys like to make their own rules. We know that Epic actually shows the demo of Gears of Wars for PC and the VP chap was misquoted, as the guys want to present their gaming stuff as a revolutionary, not the Sony’s Playstation 3.
Epic’s Mark Rein the VP of Marketing agrees that the Sony Playstation 3 is pretty revolutionary but we here at the INQ know that a console without a good game is just an empty hot box.
We also learned that the Unreal Engine 3 will look far better than the I last time saw it back at the NV40 launch in Genève, more than two years ago. Even then it looked incredible pretty but it will look even better.
The Playstation 3 developers, especially the ones that want to purchase the engine, are always a bit anxious but yet again it is all on schedule and should be finished at some point by roughly mid 2007. µ
