BioShock, Mass Effect, Stranglehold... it seems everyone is using Epic's developer-ado🎉red Unreal Engine 3 - but how long before the Gears of War engine starts to look a bit dated?

Not any time soon, according to Gears overlord Cliff Bleszinski: "A lot of that comes down to🀅 the art department and what 🔯their style is, right?" The finely-groomed designer said.

"There's plenty of other ways that people ca🉐n make an Unreal Engine 𒁏3 game look unique and cool. They're only limited by their imagination." And polygons, obviously.

Hyperbole aside, when Unreal Engine 3 finally does beg🍨in to slug behind CryEngine 2 and the other jungle-rendering super-engines, Cliffy says Epic will probably make a few modifications to knock it up a gear.

"If it ever starts looking dated I guarantee somewhere down the line there's probably going to be some engine updates that are in the queue - we have a bunch of guys always working on stuf♛f."

Cliffy also has some choice words he would like to share aboutBioShock. Look for the full inter♓view on Gears of War for PC shortl✨y.
