Square-Enix licenses Unreal Engine 3 from Epic!

It's for Dirge of Cerberus 2.

I'd cry if that game got a sequel.. >.>

wth, the first 30 min you were playing that game you said it was fun? was it just 1 level of fun and the rest of the levels nothing but suck?

The cinemas were fine... and storyline was medicore, but they overkilled the FF7 series in my opinion when they added that game in.... gameplay was an absolute torture though.

At least we know there's no way they will make an FF7-2 now heh... (since AC and DoC pretty much killed any storylines they could've used in a sequel.)

Probably a good thing that Ultima: Odyssey got shit-canned. That whole series was awesome until Ultima 8: Pagan came around and fucked itself in the ass. Everything thereafter was poo. Unreal's engine couldn't save it.

IIRC this is the engine Vanguard: Saga of Heroes will be switching to when Vista is out in full force and there is a big enough customer base to support a fully 64 bit mmorpg.

Unreal-engine based MMO that got canned.

It was basically Ultima Online 2, and I was really excited about it at the time. I was still playing UO back when it was first announced, so it was something to look forward too.
