SEGA licenses Unreal Engine 3, Epic gets a new bed buddy
Mark Rein, Vice President of Epic Games (you know, those Gears of War guys), is well on his way to world domination. He's already managed to woo big-name developers like Capcom, Midway, and Square Enix to use Epic's Unreal Engine 3 and shows no signs of stopping. The latest addition to his sexy harem is none other than SEGA. In an announcement made yesterday, Simon Jeffrey, of SEGA of America, said very nice things about UE3. Then Mark "il Duce" Rein said some nice things about SEGA. Then the two changed into their pajamas, played Twister, braided each other's hair, and talked about girls. Maybe they could also manage to talk about making a Sonic game that doesn't suck and doesn't sound wonderfully retarded. It may be a little too late to implement UE3 in the upcoming NiGHTS (that, or the Wii can't handle the awesome), but Condemned 2 might get some of that nasty power. More details should be released later in the year. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)The Unreal 3 Engine is a whore! A filthy, filthy whore! Everyone wants a piece! Who will come next?! Condemned 2 using UE3 would be amazing.
Sega better not pull another "We're going to create a Sonic with shiny graphics, but ninja-fuck the controls completely and make it so the player constantly falls off of ledges and into water." There's no good reason to try and scale the UE3 to the Wii, and epic knows that. What they may not know is that no one wants another sonic game. It's been thirteen years since anyone released a good sonic game, and I have no reason to believe that epic, with a focus on the HD UE3, would give sonic the time it needs to be a good game again. I remember reading somewhere that Wii supports Unreal Engine 2 but I have no way to back up that assertion. 7:30 PM on 06.06.2013 Unreal Engine 4 will support Oculus RiftThe Oculus Rift is the latest rage with all the cool tech kids these days, and the future looks bright for this virtual-reality headset.
