UT 2007

Tons of games using the unreal 3.0 engine. Is epic supplanting renderware as the middleware of choice next gen? Do all publishers want to avoid EA so badly they are now going to Epic? I'm not saying this is the case, though. Because it looks like Unreal 3.0 is going to kick some serious ass on next gen hardware. With the level of support Epic gives, I don't expect to see a huge difference in quality between PS3/X360 Unreal 3.0 based games since Epic loves to push the boundries of all hardware. It is interesting to witness their rise to power over the years. With next gen coming I can see them exploding!

it's like the Quake 2 and 3 engine all over again.

No, EA will soon own Epic- literally! Haw!

UT is where it's at bitches.

GoW will be my wind-down game from insano UT matches.

True. But Quake 2 + 3 engine didn't have huge penetration into the console arena like Epic is getting with Unreal 3.0. Then again, ATI and Nvidia weren't making graphics hardware for consoles based off of existing PC technology back then either.

You know who the real loser in all this is, Id Software. 5 years ago everyone would have thought that if any engine was to be licenced out in the masses it would be Carmacks, but Id Software made some bad decisions with their latest engine and it looks like they are going to lose out on allot of cash because of it.
