Thats all nice, good and lovely. I have a fetish for A,B,C etc. A. Why would a developer use an engine that excludes the biggest market for shooters? B. Are there any developers whom you would actually care about available to use this engine? C. Why would a developer looking for an engine look past UE3, Cry-engine, Source engine etc which are multi-platform to use this one? D. Any new development starting now wouldn't be seen again until mid/late 2011 at earliest and the PS3s sales are slowing so its a big risk for any developer to make. |
A. Unreal Engine is being used for RPG...The Last Remnant...just cuz KZ is a shooter doesn't mean engine will only make shooter games.
B. Yes, those who have been having hard time coding for PS3. More explanation on D.
C. Did you skip reading about this engine being PS3 exclusive? BTW source engine is outdated. Valve needs to come with a new engine. Cry-engine? Try CryEngine2? Does any console game use CryEngine2 btw? I dont think consoles can handle the CryEngine2. Maybe a toned down version yes, but not a full blown CryEngine2 you see on Crysis. I have yet to see a console game that uses CryEngine2. Please dont say FarCry2 uses CryEngine2. It does not use it. It uses another engine made from CryTek called Dunia.
D. Some developers might have already decided to change the engine mid development, which won't make development as long. Which mean they may have the story line, character model, maps, items, etc, already made. All that's left for them is to re-code it into the engine. It's not like they have to start all over and think about how the characters will look, which items will do what, etc.
