This makes me mad.

It makes me mad how they complain about the engine like this. No one is forcing them to use the most extremely recent versions of the engine, what would they rather, that Epic stopped at version 1.0? I work in 3D animation, and almost every other day there is an update that changes the way we would use Cinema4D, Realflow, Maya, you name it, we just stick with the version we use. Sure if there is something that's a big problem, or that adds great value to us, we will update, but you pick and choose. No developer in their right mind will update with every minor revision going. These guys need to get their act together, their wasting a lot of time and money by trying to stay up to the minute with engine updates that don't direct affect them. I personally applaud Epic for keeping so up to date with the engine, they are no doubt working around the clock to take care of issues developers have with the engine, and it's those that should be interested in the updates and bug fixes. If a version works for you, stick with it.

Exactly

If the developer has a problem with the Unreal Engine 3 then why dont the go make there own.

this is ridiculous

It sounds like Mistwalker is simply talking candidly about their development cycle. Just that some asshat is trying to ride the news wave generated by the Silicon Knights story and is sensationalizing this 'issue'

....

all he is commenting on is the engine its not like hes dissing it he saying what they could have done better probably after getting sked have u had any problems with the engine and epic

Wow, none of you should ever go into the business world

They paid for the engine you idiots. If Epic showed you what was capable with their engine, and then sold it to you, and you couldnt come up with results you were promised...that you paid for, and was outlined perfectly in a written contract, why shouldnt the developer be a little bit upset? Especially in the case of the silicon knights. They paid Epic to teach them the tricks of the trade when it came to UE 3.0, and Epic took the money they paid them, and built Gears of War with it. Epic is keeping secrets about the engine. Just look at half the UE 3.0 games that are out right now. None of them look remotely close to GeOW, or UT3, except for maybe Mass Effect. Bioware however, is extremely talented, and it doesnt suprise me they pulled off some extreme results. You people are morons, seriously.
