Great news. Gearbox is using the Unreal 3 Engine to make the Aliens FPS. The Unreal 3 engine is the best engine possible to make this game. Graphically it should look amazing. The most recent game released that used the Unreal 3 engine was Gears of War.

This is good news. Aliens was going to see Unreal Engine 3 even if I had to commision a total conversion mod for UT2007 :wink:

This engine will provide the necessary detail, shading, shadowing and lighting effects to pull off a great atmosphere and hopefully a really fun to play and emersive Aliens game.

Wow just think of what the Alien models are going to look like fully animated running around all wet in an ultra realistic setting like a space station or an alien hive *drool*

Gaming technology is getting amazing. Especialy when I think back to the Aliens mod for Doom back in the day. Aliens on Unreal Engine 3 is a no brainer really. What suprised me is how long it took to hear anything about any Aliens titles. Glad Sega steped up atleast :wink:

1. Sega hasn't confirmed Gearbox is making the game, though it is highly likely.

2.
they have entered into an a long-term agreement that will see Epic's Unreal? Engine 3 technology be the exclusive technology Gearbox uses for next-generation console and PC games for Gearbox-owned intellectual properties.
Alien is not Gearbox-exclusive.

I think it would be awesome if SEGA also got Monolith
too do an Alien FPS too make them compete against each other..
