Just out of curosity, what is the benefit of UnReal Engine 3? It looks cool from their website but isn't that just a bunch of fancy modeling/artistic work? Rather then the programming side of things. It seems to be the golden engine, but I was just wondering seeing as I'll never get a chance to own it :( what someone else thought of it.

Tools tools tools tools! Look into Unreal Script, Kistmet, the unreal level editor (forgot what it's called) and others. Epic has a huge library of tools they've built to support the engine and make it far FAR easier for developers to generate all those fancy art resources and levels.

And not to mention that the previous version was used in Unreal 2004, THE greatest game ever.

What are the graphical technologies that make it look better than most other engines?

But once you dig a little deeper into UE3 the tech is a mess. And it certainly NOT a suitable engine for console development.

At the same time Epic has a strong incentive to make it work, given they develop their own (high profile) games with it.

But I guess they're probably having the same problems internally..
