Anyone who's played
Gears of War would tell you that Epic's Unreal 3 Engine can pump out some truly gorgeous visuals. The folks over at Square Enix may not have played
Gears, but they know good technology when they see it.
Square Enix announced last month that they've licensed the Unreal 3 Engine middleware, allowing the developers to focus more on creativity and less on the more complex, technical portions of the design process.
We don't know at this time what, exactly, Square Enix will be using the Unreal 3 Engine for, but it's a safe bet that the
Final Fantasy XIII titles for the Playstation 3 and the recently announced MMORPG for Vista and the Xbox 360 will benefit from the technology.
