Just take a look at how many PS3 and Xbox 360 games will be using it, a damn lot. Even japanese developers have purchased the engine. Heck even Rockstar recently purchased it.

At least that guarantees graphical greatness in games. The physics that engine can handle are great. Even better than the physics in HL2.

The engine is very powerful no doubt about that, but i'm not so sure all developers know how to use it properly. Just take a look at the game Frame City Killer by Namco; the characters in that game look more plastic than real life plastic!

But other developers really know what they are doing. Just take a look at the Unreal Tournament 2007 pic below. It looks great in action, just watch the gameplay footage video somewhere.

Now what would be really great would be if they combined it with the GeoMod Engine to provide next gen destructible enviroments. That would be ****ing sweet!
