Unreal Engine 3 a complete failure?

[Uncleadolph]

I was looking at Crysis-Online and someone linked to this... Very interesting.

Although, I don't know if its genuine or not. Oh well, if it is true, it doesn't look too good for Epic right now.

What? It's already got a good few games running on UE3. Over 7 times more than what cryengine 2 has.

So far, all I've seen from cryengine 2 that's at all interesting is being able to cut down a tree or two and some shacks exploding.

... Unless you intended to add some sort of link in your post?

Woops, forgot the link

I can assure you they're clutching at straws here. We all know that gamedelays are nothing at all unexpected, especially with big projects.

We already know how the UE3 engine fares with the likes of gears of war, rainbow six vegas and we've all seen what the engine looks like from videos of UT2k7 and the new brothers in arms game and stuff.

Also, epic isn't the only people who aren't exactly great at providing development support. Take Crytek for example. They approached the developers of empires (HL2 mod) to create the game/mod on the original cryengine but the tools they provided were minimal at best (which led them to go for source)

Hmm... there goes my chance of upgrading my comp. Lets wait another 5 years.

Lol, I just love how they express "54-page lawsuit". That isn't even big, shouldn't take a dumb lawyer to create a counter for that.

Lol, 54 pages...
