Though I guess I can see the wording being key here, though Dyack told me at E3 that UE3 was already heavily modded. I think a part of the rumor hinged around X06. Anyone know when that is going to take place?

After a flurry of rumors circulating the Internet over the past few days, Microsoft tells Next-Gen that Too Human developer Silicon Knights is still using Epic's Unreal Engine 3 for the game's development.
A Microsoft spokesperson stated, "Silicon Knights continues to build Too Human using the Unreal Engine 3, tailoring it to fit the needs of the game and ensure the most efficient use of the technology. Rumors of Too Human experiencing production challenges that will cause massive delays are false. Too Human is progressing very well and we expect that gamers will be extremely excited with Too Human when we next show it."
The rumor began with an August 11 article on Advanced Media Network, which cited unnamed sources who said that Silicon Knights would be foregoing the use of UE3 because of reportedly insurmountable development difficulties. The report also said that Silicon Knights would be developing its own engine for the game.
The confirmation from Microsoft, which is publishing Too Human, is a stark contrast from just yesterday, when the company told Next-Gen that it "does not comment on rumors and speculation" regarding the reported ditching of the engine.
An engine change would have been detrimental to the game's development schedule. Too Human has been in development in some shape or form for about a decade, as it was first conceived as a PlayStation 1 title. The Xbox 360 title is meant to be the first part of a trilogy, and is expected to launch in Q2 2007.
It's not clear what, if anything, transpired between yesterday and today to bring Microsoft from a "no comment" to a definite confirmation of Silicon Knight's use of UE3.
Silicon Knights said in May 2005 that it would use UE3 across

I think they're doing a favor to Epic. With that rumor, people started thinking that UE3 isn't suited for 360, and this could somewhat damage the company's name/image. So, I think MS clarifying this is much more in aid of Epic than SKArk-AMN said:You have to admit, there must be something going on here, because isn't it usually company policy for these guys to "not comment on any rumors"?
Well, I suppose that could be it, though Epic and MS don't really have that big of a relationship (one's not owned by the other, etc.).Spider_Jerusalem said:I think they're doing a favor to Epic.

So, it was just a bit of plausible deniability from Microsoft to try and take the heat off SK for a while?element said:i heard from a couple people today that they are ditching it. I am pretty shocked.
heh, maybe a little of both?beelzebozo said:wait, sarcasm?
or does element know too much!?
Ark-AMN said:heh, maybe a little of both?
I sure won't quote him in an article if that's what your asking. Don't think he'd appreciate it anyway.
They're just recycling the Next-Gen article, a link is at the bottom. Also, I'd answer by saying "not very reliable", considering the quote came from a Microsoft spokesperson but Joystiq accredited it to Denis himself!Mrbob said:How reliable is joystiq?

I also see the article states the game is a Q2 2007 release now.

that was a very entertaining podcast btw.

MS could drop then at any point.Are Dyack and MS stuck with each other or can MS actually ditch them?
HT was pitched to MS, and they passed. Of course this was when Argonaut (JAM was owned by Argonaut) was going through some rough times, so from MS perspective it probably wasn't a good business move to partner with someone who might not be in business much longer.MS said no to Kungfu Stories, the sequel to Kungfu Chaos, which left them in a bind to make an original IP, not sure if NT was even deciding between Sony and MS, but obviously most of the founders were from SCEE Cambridge so it should have been an easy choice anyway.
