......oh no UE3. Don't buy the game then simple. I don't understand how people can pass judgement on a game firstly when they havent even seen wtf it looks like or what its about and second just because its using UE3 then pass on it?! I mean seriously....people in my opinion are WAY too quick to judge.

another title that will suffer on the PS3 because devs are using an engine designed for PC and 360. start using the SPEs properly and don't squeeze it into 7GB... why not be daring and cross over 20GB... oooooo, scary eh? of course it means you can't get away with small, linear levels and repeated textures, oh, and it can't be a sub six hour game either. the Unreal Engine is dictating which console gets the most love. thank christ there are 1st party devs who know what they are doing

It seems someone is a heavy supporter of the Unreal Engine 3. ( d.isagree d.emon ))

It's funny that they say it's groundbreaking, because if it were it would have just come out.
I hate to say it, but the only people that can use Unreal Engine 3 properly is Epic and SquareEnix.

Edit: Excuse me, let me correct myself, I think the only developers capable of fully utilizing the Unreal Engine 3 are Epic games and SquareEnix.

Done.

I believe it's now called Crystal Tools. I said UE3 since that is what the Crystal Tools/White Engine is derived off of.

Shocking......

With 60-player lag-free online and the best graphics on consoles.

there is nothing groundbreaking about any fps anymore

Not good bed fellows.

Sorry, but there is no such thing as a groundbreaking UE3 powered FPS and I highly doubt that there ever will be. Don't get me wrong, I have no issues with the UE3, but to be anything beyond groundbreaking they would have to surpass COD4, and that game did not use a dilapidated gaming engine that has been used for everything short of the latest Barbie game.

Crystal Tools is built as a cross-platform game engine now, not PS3 only.

Also, I read the engine is a kind of spinoff of the UE3 engine, or something to that contrast, that it later became something of it's own later on down the line. I may not be able to back up my own claim since it was so long ago I read this.

If this is the case, my apologies.

If it uses UE3 it cant be groundbreaking.

fact is, UE3 has been around too long now to be considered "groundbreaking". look at what's being done by insomnicac, naughty dog and GG with their engines and UE is looking a little dated.

It's not a problem, guy. I'm not embarrassed or anything like that. I am actually glad you corrected me, I like knowing the right things and not the wrong things.

I suppose when I read about one engine I probably read about the other, confusing myself in the process.
I know Crystal Tools was built for PS3 in mind, primarily, with them being developed further at some point to develope on the Xbox360, PC and a lightweight version of the tools for the Wii(?)

When they first developed them and made the announcement it was PS3 only. Later on down the line when we got more info from Sqeenix, they stated ( I forgot exactly who, as different people make their announcements) that the tools would be used to develope titles on all viable platforms stating what I did above, and not in those exact words. :P

Reading so much about game engines and whatnot, that is something kind of new for me. I have been following the Industry for a long time now and my own thoughts, the way I think and ponder these things as well as my interest in the industry is growing ( don't know how much bigger it could get)
and evolving.

It's a little confusing for me, seeing as how PC and console gaming is sort of starting to blur, blend in and assimilate each other. I was following more hardware and software when it came to consoles, for the PC I have been deep into the games. I feel my views need to be straightened out some and I have some reading to do. I do hate giving out misinformation and I equally hate receiving it.

Wow ground breaking... big talk but can you walk the the walk.

It`s always over hype time around E3....lol

I`m a FPS person and I have not even been impressed by the Unreal Engine-

Maybe they figured out something-
or they are trying to Squeeze out another title before moving to the next Ground breaking Engine...lol

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau
