Epic: Next-gen launch games will probably stick with Unreal Engine 3

Despite showing off Unreal Engine 4 behind closed doors, Epic says its predecessor Unreal Engine 3 is "probably the way to go" for next-gen launch games.

I can see why, it cost less, and the tools have been used for years. Plus with the improved hardware, they can have aa x 4 or 8 plus at 1080p or major texture improvements.

Splinter Cell double agent used a heavily modified UE2.5 which was an early game this generation. Several other early games used older engines. Some developers had complaints over early UE3 iterations. It is likely many would stick with what they know until they see what UE4 can do with released titles.

Gears of War is what really pushed UE3. You can bet Epic will work on a big game with their latest engine as a showcase to other developers. No better PR than seeing it in action selling millions of copies of a game is there?

Bioshock also used the Unreal Engine 2.5, years after the 360's launch and it turned out pretty well. I won't be surprised if developers do the same next gen.

so epics next gen games will look last gen. fail.

Play an UE3 game on PC and you will see a big difference compared to consoles.

Am I crazy or is there an Unreal Engine 5 now? Why promote old tech?

I really dont understand either? isnt the Unreal Engine 5 already available for studios? arent they already working with it?

masterfox1861d ago

UE5 Is for PS5 only, deal with it! :D

***runs away from this thread with pride!**

Tacoboto1861d ago

UE5 is not released yet and developers for years will still make UE4 games because that's where their tools and customizations are.

Mortal Kombat still uses UE3. Mass Effect Legendary Edition is also still UE3.

Magog1861d ago

That more of an embarrassing indictment of those devs than a reason to promote old software.

Tacoboto1861d ago

Embarrassing indictment? You know nothing of software development then.

Spenok1861d ago (Edited 1861d ago )

Because a ridiculous amount of the industry still uses 4, and because no, 5 is not out yet. They said it would launch later this year.

AuraAbjure1861d ago

Companies still use Unreal Engine 3.

Really impressive tech but I don’t even notice all of these benefits in real life, never mind being chased by zombies in a video game. Rather devote resources to resolution and frame rate.

Magog1861d ago

If you suddenly stopped casting reflections in a mirror I think you would notice.

Edit: i misread this.
N4G really needs a delete comment button lol

Einhander19711859d ago

Yes after seeing the Unreal 5 ps5 reveal, I thought that's where we were heading. But saying that I have read various articles that suggest its easy for developers to still work on Unreal 4 and carry everything over to Unreal 5 when needed, we shall see.
