Romier S Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 Found this report on Yahoo: Bioware licenses Unreal 3 technology. A team has apparently been put to work on Biowares' next original intellecutal property. These guys have been busier than ever lately. I can somewhat understand why they handed off development of KOTOR 2 and Neverwinter 2 to Obsidian. I'm also glad to see them branching out and developing thier own IP's. Jade Empire is already impressive as hell, the mind boggles at what they are coming up with next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelley Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 For the longest time for me it has been id and blizzard as the companies that you can always count on, personally after KOTOR I think you can add bioware to that list.

Orpheus Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 I think that's been the case since the Baldur's Gate games first started coming out, but I'm also an RPG nut so what do I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark E Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 I'm with Orpheus on this one :tu: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Even thier worst game (Neverwinter Nights IMHO) was leaps and bounds above most other RPG's on the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberwoo Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Ya Bioware has been solid long before KOTOR. Anyway Unreal engine 3 looks amazing. Love the detail that can be achieved. Makes the Doom 3 engine look like crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMonkey Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Bioware is one of the few companies I trust to always release a good game. They earned my trust with BG & BGII (hell, I was just playing BGII again in marathon sessions a few months back). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnE Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 I wonder what the hell they'll come up with using the Unreal engine? No matter what it is I have faith in them. IMO opinion they haven't done a bad game yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTello Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 I'm in the minority here! I don't think Boware is great, I think Bioware is Superfantastic! I'm very much looking forward to Jade Empire :tu: And this new info also puts a smile on my face, I'll be looking forward to any developments from this group at this point.

Romier S Posted September 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 New Q&A with Bioware available on IGN. Talks about the licensing of the Unreal 3 engine as well as up and coming games and the development of their own next engine. Read it here: http://pc.ign.com/articles/549/549530p1.html (Unfortunately most of it reads like a press release instead of an interview but us Bioware freaks will take anything we can get. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
