Actual text from the link you posted "... Epic Games and Microsoft Game Studios announced this afternoon that all in-house next generation Xbox titles will be developed by Epic's Unreal Engine 3 ... Microsoft Game Studios is the second developer to publicly announce using the Unreal Engine 3, with Midway being the first ..." The key is the specific use of the phrases 'developed and 'developer'. There is a difference between a game published by Microsoft Game Studios and one developed by Microsoft Game Studios. For example - Forza Motorsport is both published and developed by Microsoft Game Studios see http://www.xbox.com/en-US/forza/default.htm - Halo2 is published by Microsoft Game Studios but developed by Bungie Studios see http://www.xbox.com/en-US/halo2/default.htm - Conker : Live and Reloaded is published by Microsoft Game Studios but developed by Rare Ltd. see http://www.xbox.com/en-us/conker/default.htm -- Regards, Mike -- Mike Brannigan [Microsoft] This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights Please note I cannot respond to e-mailed questions, please use these newsgroups "MS Will Destroy Sony Computer Entertainment" <msdestroysony@sonysucks.com> wrote in message news:JZOdnfcKs4XunK3fRVn-hA@comcast.com... > http://www.gamesindustry.biz/press_release.php?aid=7326 > http://www.ga-forum.com/showthread.php?t=38820 > > seems to be saying that *all* games from Microsoft Game Studios for the > next-generation Xbox will use Epic Games' UNREAL ENGINE 3. > > Does this mean that Bungie's Halo 3 will use Unreal Engine 3 ? > > and Rare's Perfect Dark Zero as well? > > >
