i finally get the whole EPIC deal with sony since the E3 press conference. I thought the whole deal SONY/EPIC was that epic would optimise Unreal to run better on PS3, but............

that is still true, but the deal is that EPIC optimise there 'unreal engine' to run better with the PS3, so when they sell the enigne to 3rd parties, everyone will be developing games that finally make good use of the potential power of the CELL.

all we need is for more developers to purchase the unreal 3.0 engine.

Yea, I was glad to hear this. UE3 is easy to develop for, and if it can be optimised for the PS3, that means developers can make games easier. This along with PS Edge, it sounds like Sony is listening to developers complaints of the difficulty to develop PS3 games.

hell, probably 70% of developers already use the UE for the PS3. everytime you look, another developer is using the UE. Lets just hope that Epic releases the "optimization" as an update for the current developers to use.

there has been a version of the UE since the PS3 launched, but it isn't fully optimized.
