well im finally getting my own copy of UT3 in a few days(rented it for a while months ago, played on an SDTV), so I'll let you know thenOriginally Posted by Wind_Falcon
The original Unreal 3 engine is crap, they give it optimizations with every new game that has been made on it. Try comparing Unreal Tournament 3 with some newer games. you will see that the Unreal 3 by itself is an average engine for the new consoles...I meant standard/measuring stick, as in what other engines can be compared to, considering how widely distributed/mainstream it is. The only engine I can think of off the top of my head that tops it easily is the cry engine 2 (for crysis), crystal tools is yet to be seen, and I would venture to say the MGS4 engine (using XSI) is in the ball park, if anything, a little worse, at least when it comes to character models, I think.Like u said, its average, nothing more...? the engine is like...the standard/measuring stick for modern graphics. Sure, there's more powerful games out there, but how many can you really name?
Anywho, I just thought I'd note that there's been another site update since this thread was made. The information they show is not much newer, and there is no longer developer entries (from what i saw), but there's some new footage, its looking even better than it did a year ago. I really have high hopes for this game from what I've seen of the art, the music, the battles, and especially the people behind designing each of these aspects.
