Unreal Engine 3

There were a number of reason why we changed the title. The biggest being everyone felt this truly was the 3rd Unreal Tournament title.

UT2003 and UT2004 shared a lot of the same content and could be seens as two parts of the same game, so we consider them combined as UT2. Another reason is that we wanted to reinforce that this was the 3rd generation of our engine technology. The original Unreal Tournament used Unreal Engine 1, UT2003/4 used Unreal Engine 2 and UT3 is using Unreal Engine 3. One more reason we changed it is we wanted to communicate that UT3 was a major jump forward in the series from the last incarnation.

Gears of war in full HD


Gamers are puzzled why there isn't going to be cross-platform support for Gears of War, Mark Rein had to step in and tell us the cold hard truth: the PC and Xbox 360 codes of the video games are just plain incompatible with each other. "The PC build kept going with the [Unreal Engine 3] engine code, as opposed to using the Xbox 360 Gears of War code base. Over time, it gradually lost compatibility," said Epic Games' vice president.
Rein continued that for Gears of War (Xbox 360 and PC) to be fully cross-platform between the next gen console and the PC, they would need a "humongous patch on the Xbox 360 side" to make it work, or sacrificing the use of the high-end code base on the Windows side.
Gears of war in full HD resolution is really an amazing experience!

Gears of War film

The Gears of War film made news back in mid-March when it was announced, based largely on the immense success of the video game on the Xbox 360. Since the Halo movie has been put on hold until further notice, every video game fan out there is patiently awaiting a good video game live action adaptation that isn't directed by Uwe Boll. Maybe Gears of War will be it, and maybe Wiseman is the perfect choice after putting together an action-filled Die Hard.
Along the same lines, the announcement of an Escape from New York remake starring none other than Gerard Butler hit huge back in mid-March as well. Although the fans loathed more than praised this announcement (everyone is tired of more sequels and remakes), it is still big news and will still be a massive release once the film hits theaters.
