you've conveniently left Doom3 out of your comparison. And I'll admit, I don't know what the Doom3 engine licenses for, but I bet it'll be on-par with UE3.

Still and all, your original point was that UE3 was an overpriced piece of crap.

Torque and the RealityEngine are nice and all, but I doubt they have the same featureset as UE3 and Doom3.

And I'm sure they don't run on all the hardware (PC and console) that UE3 and Doom3 do.

And SquirellZero...somehow I'd imagine that an UE3 and a Doom3 engine license aren't too far apart, price wise. I know that UE2 and Q3 where the same price, and I beleive that an UE3 license was going for either $500.000 or a cool million (read it in the ut2k4 modders mailinglist somewhere)...which I assume id would be asking for their engine too.
Which does make 'em out of reach for most devs, true, but they are the top two engines in town. If you don't want to or can't afford to pay that money, you go with Renderware...or try with Torque or even OGRE. But you get what you (can) pay for.

Considering that the Unreal Engine is very easy for deveolopers to use and thereby reducing the man hours and staff needed to make a game (Tim Sweeney disputes the claims of some companies saying that the price of game developement is going to sky rocket), I fail to see how you label the Unreal Engine as Overpriced????

"We're really looking for top talent, nobody should imagine they're paid too well now or that they're too entry level to apply. We're looking for talent. Top talent."

"Unreal 4 is totally groundbreaking and totally the way games will be done in the future."

Remember the NES? I got mine Christmas 1985 with two controllers, R.O.B., the Zapper, and I'm not sure how many games, I think at least two. Super Mario Brothers was not included.

LOL! It's an assumption on your part that the statement in Perception's press release is actually true.

Clearly you have never seen me post drunk, petal.

To recap you're the one feeding the troll. I'm sniping at a retard.

Oh. DON'T FEED THE TROLLS, girlyboy.

If you need to read your own posts get a blog.

Since when are you working on Stargate SG1 – The Alliance and how did you got hold of the Stargate licence?

We started working on what would become the game in 2003. We were looking for a license with which to develop a game on. We approached MGM in regards to Stargate as we were all fans and felt that it would be a perfect fit for video games. We went through the regular processes you go through for something like this and emerged through the other side in late 2003.

That is a huge assumption on your part

Perception gave notice that all outstanding issues would need to be resolved by Monday August 8th 2005, or Perception would terminate its contract with JoWooD.

Actually there are two separate pieces of the game at issue here. There is the license to make a game using the Stargate IP from MGM. Then there is work produced by Perception under contract for JoWood.

Second, if Perception really wanted to or was really able to terminate the contract, it would have done so first.

I would also be willing to bet that the contract specifies that if the developer terminates the contract it is financially responsible for repaying the publisher at least a portion of its outlay up to that point.

Over the last 9 months, JoWooD has openly acknowledged being in breach of contract in a number of areas including many legal and confidentiality breaches as well as several financial defaults for work performed by Perception and accepted by JoWooD

if JoWood had the right to terminate the contract under the reasons that it gave in its press release

As these newest issues had not been resolved by the August 5th 2005, Perception gave notice that all outstanding issues would need to be resolved by Monday August 8th 2005, or Perception would terminate its contract with JoWooD.

“It’s disappointing to hear of this so called termination via the press on the basis of a “get in first” tactic.
