Sega bought the Unreal 3 engine licence

I don't know what it means maybe they will do some FPS soon. The other possibility is they find their own 3D engine out-moded and they don't want to spend money to develop a new one so they buy this one.

The unreal engine doesn't really mean they're making an FPS with it, as far as I know, it can be used for other types of games as well.

yeah wasn't there some rpgs done with one of the unreal or quake engines?

This makes me wonder what id's gonna do with their Doom3 engine. Most people consider Doom 3 to be a glorified tech demo (not me, though) and it's clear that the engine is to be the successor to the Quake III engine, which was used, a lot. Epic's pushing their engine a lot, and Valve going the VIP route with theirs (they can afford to), but how is id pushing their engine?
