Need I comment? The release of a game powered by this engine will truly mark the onset of a new era of gaming.

Yeah, I'm fully expecting this to REQUIRE a 256mb video card, 2.5ghz processor, and 1.5gb of ddr400 ram to even run, on low settings. Nonetheless, it looks really, really amazing.

Well, after a given amount of time, they bump up the graphics quality and requirements. Force everyone to upgrade. Just an ongoing cycle, but it sure as hell looks sweet :)

Epic have stated that it can run fine on a card around the 6600 line. Those cards will be as cheap as chips once UE3 is used in released games.

Then he had friend at ISP look up address. He showed up at her door with her favorite flowers and discovered she was... married. Moral: start research by looking up marital status.

Well I dunno, the Unreal Team has always managed to make excellent engines that run great on any machine....

when unreal 3 was first unveiled at E3 it was stated that no card apart from the Geforce 6 series could run it at above a grand 4 fps

Wherefore art thou GeForce 7 series? Or perhaps a Radeon X9x series!?

Of course, by the time this comes out, midrange systems (read: systems that are ultra-high-end currently) should be able to run it fine.

The new ATI Radeon cards are coming out this summer, if you wanted to know, San-J :P

In an un-optimised state. Besides, they never stated what settings where on/off for it to run at that speed.

They haven't even officially announced a game to be powered by it. Currently, it's just an engine, with some amazing tech demos. Based on trends and patterns, however, I'm guessing sometime between Spring 2006 and Winter 2006.

Well, I found the time to download the four Unreal 3 videos, and I have to say, it looks mighty impressive. I liked the look of the monsters when they're on-screen. However, what I loved was the lighting and particle effects. Those were especially stunning, including during (I believe) the first trailer, when that machine kicked on and smoke and yellow particles flew everywhere. It was really nice :D

I don't see Doom 3 and HL2 the same way again.
Doom 3 looks like shit now!!!
Seriously... Doom 3 looks like shit!
That Unreal 3 engine is way powerful.
It makes Half Life 2 look soo outdated.
But that game is gonna require a $600 videocard to run at max.
Plus add to that the CPU & memory upgrades & etc.
But Midway said that the engine is going to be used in the next generation of consoles too, and not just PC. Unreal games and Mortal Kombat games are confirmed to use the engine.
And the Xbox360 is definitely gonna cost less than a PC super upgrade. Plus the Xbox360's GPU is one generation more advanced than the Radeon X800.

It looks like shit just because you've saw parallax mapping, soft shadows and some miscellaneous shader effects in there?

Kakulin sounds like a guy who seriously considers graphics to be the most important part of gaming.

How do you talking about these things like you already know what's going on? You don't know how much the Xbox360 will cost, it's obvious that Unreal 3.0 is going to be used in next-gen consoles (BioWare has licensed it already for an RPG), and I'm pretty sure that Doom 3 and Half-Life 2 are both still going to live on in the PC gaming world.

I'm not saying Doom 3's graphics really sway me, but to be honest, it doesn't look like shit, despite the popularity surrounding it died off several months ago. That's what engine modifications are for. No one would be using the Quake 1 engine to make mods unless it had gone open-source and someone had made Darkplaces, along with several other technical innovations.

I just don't like the way you talk, Kalukin.

Yes... i believe graphics are the most important thing.
That's the only reason why some people got an Xbox instead of a PS2.
