Pictures of Unreal Engine 3 games

True.
Also, UE3 = the grey, colorless, lifeless, cheap and looking alike way.

Seriously, aside from Mirror's Edge, every single UE3 powered game looks like some cheap Gears mod. Hopefully more people will start working with their own engines.

Unreal engine does tend to have that same look in games.

Taking a look at games like Gears and MOH, yeah, the color palette looks similar but then you compare them to Bioshock and Rainbow Six and you have something totaly different. Not sure but the recent title by SE looks to be a bit different too. Sure you have some similarities but if the developer uses their own art direction then the games look so much different.

Agreed..

Lost Odyssey didn't look like what MK was describing..

This is one of the best "lisenced" engines. I'm sure it has it's problems when it comes to devs and support.

The thing is, it has to be optimized for each platform to get the best results.

Gotta admit that Lost Odyssey looked good and different from UE3 powered games but aside from that, we have Army of Two, Turok, Fall of Liberty, BlackSite, Hour of Victory, Stranglehold and many others that look just like Gears of War and UT mods. Even Fatal Inertia, a cyber racer game has the UE3 look to it.

Mirror's Edge and Lost Odyssey are the real exceptions.

ME uses a different light engine ( http://www.illuminatelabs.c... , http://www.illuminatelabs.c... ). Might be the reason it looks different.

Yeah some do use the engine well, and make great games, but you realy can't get passed taht wet look UE3 games have. One thing about UE3, games made with it get done faster. I would bet we all have about 2-10 EU3 games in our library on PC's, 360's and PS3's. Like it or not, there are some great games made with it, that still provide hours of entertainment.

Well, aside from Lost Odyssey, all of them look like generic UE3 games. Fatal Inertia literally looks like the racing version of UT3 and MK vs DC looks like a generic UE3 shooter but with fighting instead of shooting.

UnderTow has is a sidescroller but the textures and effects scream UE3 and finally, ABP looked kinda UE3ish though still better than others.

Last Remnant!? Seriously, did you see the gameplay clips? They were more colorless and UE3ish than Gears itself!

So basicly you just don't like UE3?

Well, after Doom 3's engine, UE3 is the only engine which all of it's games look the same.

Were all of RenderWare games the same? Did UE2 games look the same? NO!
Among modern and advanced engines, UE3 is the only one that has similair look in all games and as I mentioned in other comment, only LO and Mirror's Edge look different. All others including Fatal and Undertow scream UE3 with their effects and textures.

Also, while pre-made engines are meant to make developement easier, UE3 is just like a cheap short-cut for many lazier devs though there are some decent and good devs that actually try to add something instead of making the next Gears mod in first person.
