Arkane outed, adds US studio

Great.

so what does outed mean

What are you talking about Mech? The Source Engine is still one of the finest engines to date. It looks good even when your not on a high end PC, has excellent physics and still has so much potential to dig up.

Mechakucha - Stopped being impressive in 2005 and they should have used a different engine eh? First of all the game was announced in 2005. At which point you still found the Source engine impressive. Secondly, I will have to disagree with the Source engine being a bad choice. It is a physics based engine and they wanted to have some physics style game play. Lastly, complaining about them not making their own engine is just silly. It cuts time off the development cycle and a lot of companies do this. It has nothing to do with not being able to make their own. They just chose an alternate path.

Zeraquor - yeah, of course. I guess I wasn't being too clear. To clarify: I could understand using the unreal 3 engine, but the source engine stopped being impressive in 2005. I guess it was the only one they could afford or something.

Licensing an engine is a fast and efficient way to build a game. In the long run it can save time and money. There's nothing wrong with doing it.

eh mechakucha, lots of the companies buy other's engines, like the source or unreal engine for example

I hope the game performs beter on their modified source engine than valves own games do.

Well thats cool to see more game studio's opening in the US.Plus Dark Messiah of Might and Magic will be a fun game.

Wow, they can't even make their own engines. Guess it's good that more companies are coming here though.
