CAL4M1TY:Anyway, I would say that it'll be a few more years before 360's hit it's graphical high point. It took PS2 and the xbox many years to get to that point, and to all those who say Gears is the high point, I say COD4. Also, if Gears 1 is the high point of the 360's graphical power, EVERYONE would be using the Unreal Engine and Epic would no longer make tweaks to it and leave it as it is. It's just common sense and good business people. |
A lot of smaller and even bigger companies are using Epic's technology. But the engine has its strongpoints and weakpoints, it not suitable to shoehorn in just about any type of game. And the most competent developing companies will want to use their own game engines as you are then in full controll of the technology which allows for more flexibility.
The one size fits all approach, is not superior (best suited for Epic games like UT3 and Gears). It's economically interesting to companies, but technically and freedom-wise it's not.
