Brothers in Arms developer signs a deal with Epic to exclusively use Unreal Engine 3 in their next-generation projects...
Gearbox Software has today announced that they have reached an agreement with Epic making Unreal Engine 3the exclusive technology used by the company in the development of next-generation console and PC Gearbox-owned IPs.
Having used a previous incarnation of the Unreal Engine, Gearbox has developed the Brothers franchise over two titles (Road to Hill 30 and the forthcoming Earned in Blood) and will be using the UE3 in the production of Brothers in Arms 3, recently announced for PlayStation3 at Tokyo Game Show.
â??We have had a huge amount of success using the Unreal Engine technology on Brothers In Arms Road to Hill 30, which has sold about 2 million copies so far, and weâ??re also using it on Brothers In Arms Earned in Blood.â? says Randy Pitchford, President of Gearbox Software, â??Weâ??ve used most of the major 3D engines on the market and without a doubt Unreal Engine 3 is the best. Epicâ??s tools, technology and support are fantastic. Weâ??ve chosen Unreal Engine 3 as the exclusive technology we will use for all of our own titles going forward into the next generation. Weâ??re confident that our ability to continue to create world-class titles will be enhanced by this choice.â?
â??Weâ??ve admired Gearbox Software since their earliest days and having the chance to work with them on Brothers In Arms made us realize that Gearbox Software is one of the best development studios in the world.â? said Mark Rein, Vice President, Epic Games Inc. â??Gearbox Software has done amazing work on several of the industryâ??s top franchises and with Brothers In Arms they created their own hugely successful world-class entertainment property. It is especially gratifying for us that Gearbox Software has chosen Unreal Engine 3 as the technology for their original games for the next generation.â?
The number of developers bolstering their next-gen creations with Unreal Engine 3 seems to be growing all the time with Midway, Vivendi-Universal and NCSoft all signing agreements in recent months with the technology seemingly the toolset of choice in the new generation of gaming.
Weâ??ll have more news on both Gearbox and Epic in the futureâ?¦

I agree with the comments about the gore, do you remember Soliders Of Fortune 2, that was a game where the gore just went too far and didnt help the game at all.
For me I was really let down by this game, was expecting so much but felt very dissapointed. And for the AI on loads of occasions you could be right next to the enmey soliders - visably to them and they wouldnt react, crazy!!!

This review really seems to be nitpicking things for no reason. Too much gore? Then don't play a bloody war game for gosh sakes. I actually think a lot of modern videogames are overly gory for gore's sake, but in this case they are just being authentic to history. Maybe if more people realized what war was really like, the world's politicians wouldn't keep starting them all the time.

It's comming out on pc, and don't buy a 360 because I did and regret it. I bought the 360 because I was sick of upgrading my pc and after 1 year of 360 online play i discovered I was missing out on heaps on pc so bought a super dooper pc and never went back.

I thinks the game is excellent, the AI is very good and the slow motion head shots and explosions are great at least 8 or 9 out of 10

This is a terrible review... you hardly mention any of the game's strong points, which massively outweigh any negatives. This is a triple A game with a few minor issues. As far as the gore system, while I agree that the action camera is a bit over the top (I turned it off, along with enemy icons, crosshair, and the red danger zone), do not call it disrespectful. The moments of gore are not that common anyway, and the whole point of this game is to be as authentic as possible.

Hmm, I never came across scripted enemies where I had to trigger AI life into them. Maybe if the review listed examples? I disagree with any bad point said in this review, it's an utterly amazing game for any shooter/squad war action fan. Must-have. "Baptism on Fire" is crazy!

I agree with the previous comment, this game deserves at least an eight overall. though the the plot may be confusing to newcomers to the series the game makes up for it by improving every other section of the game to make it, in my opinion, the best in the series.

Worst love review ever. I have this game and it is very good. Not a credible review at all
