The Unreal 3 engine seems to be really complex and detailed. I also like how it can be used for so many different things, and different games, when some engines are built with a specific genre in mind.
Havoc its been that for awhile. Unreal 3 has too much bloom.

This is my favorite forum on the Citadel.
Love that engine. Valve used it really well. ^_^Fr0dus Maximus said:

Honestly? the Emoticon chip when I saw the first DMC game in action.
Unreal Engine is still gorgeous ^_^
Yet whatever the BioShock engine was running on...kudos..

The Assassin's Creed engine, whatever it was, was really amazing.

Crytek's engines are always beastly, as is the Havoc engine.
Going back a bit though, I thought the Aurora engine was great, and, in spite of being over five years old, it still made the Witcher look mighty purdy.

For awhile, I loved the Quake engine... then it was the Unreal engine. Now I'm hooked on the Source engine.

I'm interested to see what Euphoria's going to do for GTA IV. So far, I hear good things.

Assassins Creed was the first game to use the Scimitar Engine, and Bioshock used and mixture of Unreal 3 and Havoc...
I like the versatility of the Unreal 3...But ithink some of the things it has are to "bulky"...plus some games dont look any different (Unreal Tournament 3 and Gears of War look almost identical in every way)
But as far as the most promising, id say the White Engine (FFXIII) and the Ninja Theory Engine (Heavenly Sword)

Bioshock had a pretty good engine, but personally I think the lighting wasn't so great.
It uses the Unreal 3 engine.Hinesmdc said:

Are you sure? It must be heavily modified, because other Unreal 3 games don't have lighting like that. Don't get me wrong, the game looked great, but the lighting was a bit weird. Your character didn't even have a shadow.
Actually, almost every developer modifies the engine they're using, unless they build it themselves, so I wouldn't be surprised if Irrational made a lot of modifications to the engine.Hinesmdc said:
But I think you can attribute lighting differences to the fact that Bioshock was set underwater, where no sunlight reaches, and that they were going for an eerie style with the game.
Bioshock and lately any game that looks like its covered in gloss or wax has been using the Unreal 3 engine
Agreed. Although, I think the exception here might be Mass Effect.Fr0dus Maximus said:

Mass Effect wasn't bloomed to hell and back like the other games that have come out.

Although if you turned off the grain filter, thus enabling you to actually participate in combat instead of seeing still pictures every 5 seconds of the battle, everything was glossy.
