Looks like the Unreal Engine is the fighting game engine of next-gen

More and more games, especially fighting games, have been using the Unreal Engine. Including recently announced games such as Tekken 7 and even Street Fighter 5, but why?

Great engine made by a great software/game company. Can't wait to start using it in a few months!

Most utilised and versatile last gen engine , the games that used it were great I expect the real good games will be coming with Unreal 4 engine.

While there was alot of good games using the unreal 3 engine last generation. There was also alot of mediocre and awful games that also used the engine too. They was not all great.

Making a solid engine that is easy to use and cheap, you're gonna get those kind of games. But thats ok, there was alot of good games too

But it was less versatile last gen with UE3 . And it allowed complacency with a generic look for the less hardworking devs . In good hands each game was wildly different from another .

That was the issue , not the use of common middleware . So far even for mediocre titles or launch stuff , you usually have to be told its running on UE4 , it doesnt have one immediately disctinctive look and feel , so its a good start
