Reports suggest Silicon Knights is ditching UE3, because it "does not work well with the 360 hardware"
Long-in-development sci-fi adventure game Too Human is ditching Epic's popular Unreal Engine 3, according to an unconfirmed report on Advanced Media Network.
Citing strict anonymity for its sources, the report claims that developer Silcon Knights is abandoning Unreal Engine 3 in favour of its own engine, saying that Unreal Engine 3 "does not work well with the Xbox 360 hardware." Hm, try telling that to Cliffy B.
Although Too Human's poor E3 reception might seem to provide a reason for an engine-change, we're filing this one very much in the realms of speculation for the time being. Considering the amount of impressive-looking UE3 titles coming for Xbox 360, like BioWare's Mass Effect and Epic's own Gears of War, we find the article's claims that the engine isn't performing well, a touch hard to swallow.
Still, we'll sit tight for the time being, and wait for official word from the developer before condemning this one to the news bin of justice.
