Unreal Engine 3 Stalls on the Nintendo Revolution?


Epic Games VP said that fans “won’t be seeing Unreal Engine 3 on the Revolution” because “it won’t be easy to take something HD res here to the Revolution.”  Although it came from the lips of Epic’s VP, it’s still filed under “unconfirmed” because the company  issued no official statement yet.  The Veep admitted he has not seen the final hardware for the Revolution, but said the existing Unreal Engine 2 would provide more than enough muscle to take full advantage of the Revolution’s hardware since it won’t require HD resolution.

The award-winning Unreal Engine technology is famous for pushing the envelope for graphics and a best-of-breed toolset. The people at Joystiq who witnessed technology’s demo at the recent GDC described it as “Super duper pretty. It’ll make you give up religion and find faith in fragfests, it’s so pretty. Beyond it being pretty, what else was there to show off?”
