    How Gears 2 Is Actually a More Realistic Combat Sim

    No one would accuse Gears of War 2, or Gears of War for that matter, of being grounded anywhere close to reality. But Popular Mechanics has an interesting discussion with Unreal Games' Matt Mike Capps, a breakdown of the capabilities of the Unreal engine, and concludes that the chaotic environment it is capable of rendering in real time can actually raise the bar for accuracy in military combat simulations.

    Unreal Engine 4 Targeting Consoles, Not PCs

    Yeah, the Unreal Engine was once synonomous with cutting-edge PC graphics tech. Once. But in the future? With Unreal Engine 4.0? Well, it's going to be geared towards consoles, not the PC. So says Epic boss Tim Sweeney:
    There is a long life ahead for Unreal Engine 3. Version 4 will exclusively target the next console generation, Microsoft's successor for the Xbox 360, Sony's successor for the Playstation 3 - and if Nintendo ships a machine with similar hardware specs, then that also. PCs will follow after that.
    Exclusively targeting consoles? PCs following after a Nintendo console? Egads. Epic and PC fanboys, let me get my boat and a paddle together before your salty tears cry me a river. More »

    Sin City Gets Unreal

    The Red Mile-developed video game version of Frank Miller's Sin City may very well not suck. It may very well also help Epic Games' Mark Rein sleep better at night, as the game based on the long-running comic book series will absolutely not feature a single bald space marine and will most likely not have that Unreal Engine 3 "look." Oh, did I forget to mention it's using the Unreal Engine? Well, it is, as Red Mile and Epic have announced today, cruelly teasing us with a tiny tidbit of info and failing to include a single screenshot for us to pick apart. Dare I say it? Dare I look forward to Sin City the game?

    Frontlines Dev Shines Light On PS3 Delay

    When publisher THQ announced a series of delays, pushing three of its marquee titles—Frontlines: Fuel of War, de Blob and Destroy All Humans! Path of the Furon—one title stood out curiously, as only the PlayStation 3 version of Frontlines was coming later than its PC and Xbox 360 counterparts. Gamespot's recent Q&A with the game's senior producer, Joe Halper, reveals that "the Unreal Engine has some challenges with the PS3—you'll see with other developers—it's kind of a little late in the game with Epic, which is unfortunate." His comments were made before the announcement of the PS3 delay, but he later illustrates that every platform has its challenges. More »

    Flash As A Viable First-Person Shooter Platform?

    It may not have the complex geometry capabilities or, say, ability to actually shoot at things of something like the Unreal Engine 3.0 or Source platform, but this tech demo for a 3D first person engine built in Flash Player 10—codenamed "Astro"—using Papervision3D is pretty impressive. I fully expect Quake to be ported to Flash within the week. Any longer and I'll have no faith in Earth's programming geeks. More »

    Finally, A New Unreal Engine Licensed FPS

    End. The game is named End. And it's coming to a PC or Xbox 360 near you, powered by the Unreal Engine. End is being developed by Faramix Enterprises and its creators hope it will "raise the standard" with its "powerful storyline with innovative gameplay." While details—and screenshots—are scarce, we do know that End will follow the adventures of Miles and Chaz, one of whom is "haunted by his past." More »

    Xperience Black College Football The Xperience

    Ever since we heard Black College Football: The Xperience (yes, the Xperience) included half-time shows that lets players "step into the boots of a drum major," our interest was piqued. We so love rhythm games! Sadly, this clip, the first of the game I believe, doesn't show that. Instead, it has text telling me to "EXPECT MORE THAN JUST A VIDEOGAME" and an a football player reminding me "This is how we do it." Though, the clip does have some marching band music. Half way there! More »

The Unreal Engine 3-powered college football game brings together three historically black college and university conferences, including some 40 teams for "an incredibly fun football game for the whole family to play."

Silicon Knights claims the Unreal Engine didn't deliver on promised technology. Epic responded that it refused to endorse the "suitability" of UE3 for Too Human's needs. More »

    Epic Vs. Silicon Knights is a Common Lawsuit

    While we've told you about Silicon Knights' case against Epic for issues surrounding the Unreal 3 engine, Law of the Game, in all their properly-qualified-to-talk-about-law snootiness, has pointed out that Silicon Knights has a strong case that is actually quite common in the non-gaming world.
    This is, at its core, one of the simplest contract disputes. Party A promised to deliver a good in form X, and Party B alleges that good arrived in form X-1 and Party A never fulfilled their contractual agreement.

The version of UT3 running on the show floor still had some work to be done, but it will still quite lovely to look at.
