Why does every game use the Unreal Engine 3? It blows.

Almost every game with the Unreal Engine 3 has
1) Slow texture loading problems
2) Really ugly shadows

And it usually looks really muddy and weird.

The engine was great when gears came out because that's when the 360 WAS JUST STARTING.
Now it's just really ugly...

I hate the look of games that use the unreal engine, the colours are all muddybigLLL

ya all the games look way too dark. it works for a game like bioshock but most games it looks average

I agree. I don't care much for the Unreal Engine, but I think it is used so often because it is a simple engine for developers to use and it's a hell lot easier than building a whole new engine.

I just hate when games boast about using the Unreal Engine. That to me is not impressive, lol.

they should use the Engine that made Crysis :)_RA0_

Unfortunately, the 360 can't make full use of the cryengine 2 as Crysis did for the pc due to the amount of proccessing required. Though I don't care much for physics and other effectsso as long as it looks good! Rendering is all thats needed for me! So lets make it happen!

I believe Bioshock looks awsome with the unreal engine.grunt1096

If I'm not mistaken, Bioshock uses Unreal Engine 2.5, not 3.

I agree with the TC's feelings about UE3 ... to a point. Its still a good engine, but its definitely not the end all. So many of the problems with Mass Effect can be seen in GeoW, but amplified because of the ambition of the game.

bioshock was developed using 2.5 but then they scrapped that version because they wanted better water effects. so they remade it in ue3.

HaVok isn't a full engine, it's used for phsysics. BioShock was made using both the HaVok engine and also the Unreal 3 engine.
