Epic Has ‘Defrauded Us, And Major Portion of Industry’
10:40PM Brian Ashcraft | Once again proving that legal metabolism is slow, the Silicon Knights vs. Epic court battle slogs on.

Silicon Knights went on to ditch the Unreal Engine 3 that it had licenced from Epic and finished Too Human with its own engine. Says Dyack: Well the trial is proceeding, we feel really good about our claims, and we’re hopeful that justice will be done.

SK v Epic: ‘Justice will be done’ says Dyack [Develop] More »

Capcom Licence Unreal Engine For Second Western-Developed Project
5:30PM Luke Plunkett | Capcom are all aboard that Unreal train. Having licensed the Unreal Engine 3.0 in February for use on a title being developed in North America (Dead Rising 2?), they’ve today licensed the engine for use in a second project, this one being worked on in Europe. No idea what that one could be (maybe a new IP!), but that’s not the point! The point is a lot of Japanese developers talk about trying harder in the Western market. It’s nice being reminded there’s at least one doing something about it. More »Korean MMO Gets Unreal Engine 3 Licence
