After a public fiasco with Too Human Developer Silicon Knights, Epic and their Unreal Engine 3 aren’t looking too hot. Now, another developer has come out and said they’re bailing on the engine due to issues with it. Dark Sector developer Digital Extremes told Gameplayer they are passing on this piece of technology.
The biggest issue for Digital Extremes is the possibility of an unwanted delay:
“A lot of promises were made about the Unreal III engine, particularly on PS3,” he said. “But as we see now, the time frames haven’t been met and now a lot of games using it are being held up.”
If there ever was a time for iD’s new engine to step up, now would be the time.

Megatexturing is goign ot open up so much RAM on the ps3.. lookout…
