SONY ONLINE ENTERTAINMENT LICENSES UNREAL ENGINE 3

SOE will utilize this technology for a number of future projects, including the DC Comics-based game currently under development at SOE-Austin.



graphics dont make a game but this should at least attract the graphic whores to SOE who couldnt make a hit game if they tried (lately)

Wouldn't the game basically be just like City of Heroes? Only difference would be a universe comic fans are familiar with.

they'd have to throw something else into the mix to differentiate it from CoH ...dont have any details on the game

Dear god, UE3? I can only immagine the fps lag with 50 people on the screen at once.

I hope not...

The whole point of UE3 is that it's capable of pushing those kinds of visuals without causing performance hits. Chances are the engine is far more optimized than, say, Doom 3, or even Source. And I'd imagine you can still use LOD scaling on UE3

Huxley is a MMO that uses the U3 engine

it looks great for an online game

UE3 will be fantastic. I hope to see a lot more games like this using it
