EDIT: crap, i thought i posted this in Tech Talk

[Con]

You just learned of this?

[Ki11a_FTW]

yes i did :eyesroll:

[jcap]

Welcome to E3 2007...

Still good news, though.

Edit: I didn't know it was to be released on November 6, 2007. Am I the only one, or is that new?

[Limited]

Yeah, wonder if it will stick to release day. Doubt it..

And bollocks I have 2.4gHz

[Flyboy]

I still find it sad that a game with so much more graphicle potential has lower requirements than H2v.

Way to fuck up hired gun.

[Ki11a_FTW]

Yeah, im angry about that to, but im happy that i can run it

[flibitijibibo]

Woah... welcome to July 07...

Can anybody say if those are reasonable requirements for Unreal 3? I have a bad feeling my PC will run this like crap anyway...

If you look at one of the other GoW threads in here, you'll see that one of the official sites states the release date was earlier this week XD.

[Ki11a_FTW]

I got the specs right off the website ill get a link in a minute.

EDIT http://unreal.freakygaming.com/pc/action/unreal_tournament_3/system_requirements.html

[Tweek]

those requirements are actually pretty LOW.
i expected it all to be alot higher.

:woop:

[Snaver]

That's the unreal engine for you, pretty efficient...

[SL1CK1337]

Does anyone know if this is going to be cross platform?

[Ki11a_FTW]

Does anyone know if this is going to be cross platform?

[Atty]

[Ki11a_FTW]

Updated with a 2nd video.

[Syuusuke]

Shut up Atty =/

Your youtube links are messed up...=(

[KIWIDOGGIE]

[Ki11a_FTW]

Fixed youtube link

[Ki11a_FTW]

New game editor. The game will also feature the all-new game editor, guaranteeing new user-generated content in the future. The Gears of War community will be able to tap their endless creative potential to develop an unlimited number of user-created levels through complete access to the Unreal Editor. Players can now import custom artwork into the engine, create particle systems, scripted encounters, cinematics, and more.


:worship:

[Crest]

I hope it's multithreaded

:(

And not suck as much as H2V

[Phopojijo]

UnrealEngine 3 is multithreaded.

Optimized for dualcore... editor optimized for quadcore.

[KIWIDOGGIE]

no s**t Unreal was made for PC so it will support more pc stuff.

And the EDITOR and Game isant just for duelcore and quadcore :P it just supports that without pooping on you(unlike sapian*beats sapian with a stick*) so if you need an upgrade and have single core prepare for longer wait times but it will run

However -- going from dual to quad will only be an incremental upgrade in the game... but a fairly decent sized upgrade in the editor. After that it's pretty incremental.

mm.. the computer i was going to use it for only has intel pentium 4, single core, 2.8 Ghz

The official requirements for H2V are a LOT lower then Gears. But the real requirements tell a quite different story. But seriously, EPIC games is actually working on their port, not hiring some dingy lil studio to do it. (btw, epic's staff is probably at least ten times the amount of hired gun).

[Warsaw]

Epic is epic :awesome:.

I might actually buy this.

(btw, epic's staff is probably at least ten times the amount of hired gun).Their typical studio's only about 70 people large.

They also have a couple other unaccounted for assets... like buying "People Can Fly" and their Epic-China outsource team.


That being said... its like Fort f'ckin Knox to get in. They're always hiring and you don't need any industry experience... but if you don't have the raw talent they want... you're going to be working for someone else.
