Epic Veep Mark Rein has emailed to tell me that much of what a Kotaku reader sent me about the NVIDIA announcement at the Edinburgh Interactive Entertainment Festival is inaccurate. I've decided to remove the story until I can get to the bottom of the problems and will update this item with a correction once everything's figured out.

Thanks for your patience.
Brian

Update: It looks like I'm not the only one who received the error-riddled email. Here's the run down. Rein insists that Rockstar has not licensed the Unreal 3 Engine for any future title and that no such announcement was made.

Rein goes on to say that the publisher of Bet on Soldier said that their title was going to support the Ageia PhysX physics card and that Epic Games also indicated that Unreal Tournament 2007 would support the card.

Finally, Rein said that while UT2007 and Gears of War would be using Ageia's PhysX software library.

Thanks so much to Rein for setting me straight, I'm sure he has much better things to be doing with his time than making sure Kotaku is accurate. And a big sorry to all the readers out there for the confusion.
