| Fonix Speech Joins the Unreal Engine 3 Integrated Partners Program Fonix Speech has joined Epic Games' Integrated Partners Program for Unreal Engine 3. Fonix VoiceIn Game Edition has been fully integrated into Unreal Engine 3 and is now available for licensing directly from Fonix Speech. Epic Games has established the Integrated Partners Program for the purposes of having a formal business relationship with selected companies making cross-platform technologies that integrate with, and are complementary to, Unreal Engine 3. Under the IPP program, Epic provides continuous Unreal Engine 3 source code access and full technical support to IPP members. Companies who join the IPP agree to provide a high level of technical support for UE3 licensees through Epic's established support channels, keep their implementations up-to-date with the latest UE3 versions, and work with Epic on potential promotional and co-marketing efforts. The IPP program will make it easier for Unreal Engine 3 licensees to incorporate third-party middleware solutions from IPP vendors into their games. The award-winning Unreal Engine is known for cutting-edge graphics and a best-of-breed toolset. Unreal Engine 3 is expected to maintain those features while adding massive world support, multi-processor support, next-generation console optimizations, and one of the most mature tool pipelines in the industry. Unreal Engine 3's new toolset is designed specifically to accelerate developers' productivity for ultra-complex, next-generation content. At E3 2006 due to the enormous success of Bioshock, Mass Effect and Gears of War, Unreal Engine 3 games scooped overall "Best in Show" Awards from Gamespy, Gamespot, Voodoo Extreme. These games and the others also scooped the top awards, and most runner-up places in each of their individual genre categories given by these panels and also those given by IGN, 1Up and GameTrailers. Unreal Engine 3 also is the winner of the "Best Game Engine" award in both the 2005 and 2006 Game Developer "Frontline Awards". write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Game News :: home page |
