As we all know, Silicon Knights is attempting to sue epic games for not supporting the Unreal Engine 3.0 and not delivering on their promises. The question I'm asking is:

Which company do you support?

Personally, I'm going for Silicon Knights. They make the best games :D And they're the ones that appear to be suffering in this case.

It seems a lot of people have had problems with UE3 and I wish Bioware and Midway went in with Silicon Knights because they both have had a lot of problems with the engine as well.

I read that Silicon Knights are calling developers from different companies that use the Unreal Engine 3.0 to testify against Epic Games :P

Im not even going to get started on this horrible article. Did you even read that trash? They are just bashing the game. Look at their reasons LOL

Number 3: No hot chicks: Are you serious :lol: it looks like this was written by a 12-year old boy.

Number 1: What kind of game is it?: You got to be joking me how is this a preview if they don't even know what kind of game it is.

You lose major credibility for posting this OMG

I'll side with Silicon Knights. Eternal Darkness and Blood Omen were fantastic games, and the Unreal 3 Engine has had its fair share of problems. Epic's been annoying me recently, as well.

I think Silicon Knights has a pretty good case against Epic. I also think that it will be settled out of court, eventually.

I honestly wouldn't know who to side with here! On one hand we could say its a learning curve that SK couldn't figure out, but SK isn't a run of the mill Developer and make awesome games I'm sure they know what to do with the engine, Ubi soft should know what to do with the engine and look a Vegas the graphics just suck...

I loved the Graphics in GOW and could never understand why no one else could make there game look good with the engine, hasn't anyone else wondered why the Unreal Engine Engine just doesn't seem to hold water with any other Dev...

Maybe, just maybe Epic is Sabotaging the composition. The question is: if they in fact are sabotaging SK, why???? GOW was bad ass and GOW2 should have no problems selling and if Too Human was to use the Unreal Engine wouldn't that only exemplify the power of the Engine, what would Epic stand to gain from selling a crappy version of the Engine. I would think they'd be better off with the monies they stand to make from selling the Lic and publicity the Engine creates for them?

I don't see how anyone could side with Epic. Even Gears of War has significant texture pop-in, and if the guys who made the engine can't get it running properly, what the **** kind of chance do other developers have?

Wish they had the decency to solve this without taking it to court. Those stupid lawsuits cost.
What are the facts?
It sounds like they have a proper case, but i'm only hearing one side of the story.

SK seem to have a case. The only game that seemed to run UE3 fine was Bioshock.
