Well, I'm not sure how much modification of the U3 engine is legal, as afaik the Silicon Knights guys (Too Human devs) were sued for their modifications of the engine. So devs that use it might be stuck with what Epic can do with the PS3.

Sony themselves offer the free PhyreEngine (Journey, Demon's Souls, Grid,.. use that), but I don't know how many of their programing tricks they created for Uncharted or GoW are in there.


Not true. If you license the engine, you can modify it in anyway you like. SK sued Epic saying that UE3 was incomplete and they were forced to develop their own engine from scratch. Epic got a court order to look at Too Humans code and found that SK's "all new" engine had UE3 code in it. Since SK hadn't paid their licensings fees. SK was ordered to destroy the source code of Too Human and other UE3 based games they developed.
