### Issues

- HoopWorld still based on Unreal Engine 2.5 with heavily modified and XBLA optimized from Virtual Toys
- BioShock not used UE3. that's used enhanced Tribes Vengeance engine. which heavily modified Unreal Engine 2.5 (PC, Xbox 360)
  - Actually, truly BioShock used UE2.5. NOT UE3
- Splinter Cell: Conviction is NOT UE3. it's still based on Unreal Engine 2.5 (PC, Xbox 360)
  - Yes, this is true
- Digital Extremes's Evolution engine is a heavily modified Unreal Engine 2 using the DE's Dark Sector.

Wormbo: Stop the bullshitting already. True, BioShock development started with the Tribes Vengeance engine, but later switched to a modified UnrealEngine 3. This is even backed up by AMW's BioShock Interview Transcript:

> AMN: Speaking of the graphics engine, it's running on Unreal 2.5 right? Ken: No, we've moved to Unreal 3, we've done a lot of modifications on top of it, [...]

Spectator: Yes, Wormbo, you are right, but still issues now that, BioShock engine has not UE3's Ued Kismet assests.

MythOpus: Hence the term modified ?

Spectator: No, unknown yet.

Wormbo: Oh right, some random guy's statement is more relevant that the game developer's. :rolleyes: Let's settle on: "BioShock is a UE3 game that was upgraded from UE2.5 and doesn't implement the full feature set of UE3."

Game Programmer: I am a game programmer using the UE3. the BioShock engine is UE2. BioShock haven't UE3 features and UE3 UnrealEd. it have a UE2 features and system, modified UnrealEd 3.0 based on UE2.
