As long as John Carmack and Tim Sweeney stay in the business, we're all gunna have a graphical feast.

Let's just jope that Carmack doesn't do drugs then.

Those screenies are so pretty they're almost blasphemous.

Yeah if you look closely on that inital post's image here you can see some bleedthrough from the other side of the page from it being a scanned image.

Intel17, what reality have you been living in? id software's engines have been the standard since Doom came out. Unreal engine games haven't started appearing frequently until recently.

And how can you compare Doom 3 to Unreal Engine 3.0? It's like comparing the Build engine to the Quake engine (which people did actually do, if you recall).

[Intel17]

Look how many games are using the Unreal Engine and look how many Genre's its been used in

Unreal Engine is, along with id softwares engines, the standard bearer of the industry

I would love to see a remake of Unreal using this Engine! Man, Unreal is one of my all time favorite FPS.

Guys, it's not really the engine that makes it look so good. It's the original source-art. Doom 3's Source art (the stuff that was really high poly then turned into normal and displacement maps) was 50-90Million polys. The Unreal 3 source-art was 250Million+ polys. The engine itself is only marginally more powerful graphically then DOOM3's in terms of per pixel lighting, DOOM3 was only marginally more powerful (and certainly better coded) than CryEngine. Where Unreal3 technology really shines is in its clever use of other far more interesting (and often completely missed by noobs) features such as hierarchical object management (in thier demo a fridge, with shelves and door and that understand how to remain and work as a fridge would in terms of physical relationships - ie the door opens and closes and the shelves and draws don't pass through one another nor matter how the object is manipulated), projected lightsourcing and really nicely faked radiosity.

Don't get me wrong it does represent yet another evolutionary step, just not in the same way as DOOM3 and Far Cry did. What we really need is real time ray tracing and radiosity. Then all of these faked features could be dropped in place of real light sourced reflection and refraction. It's not that far away really - less than 5 years. I've forgotten what it was called, but some company in the US has already made a 90Mhz "Ray Tracing Accelerator" processor which could end up (in a faster form) on Graphics cards soon. I hope.
