E3 - Metal Gears, Jungle Beats, Unreal Tech?

Thanks to continuing coverage of the E3 Expo show from GameSpot, from 1UP, from GameDaily, and many other sources - highlights for the second day included Eurogamer's detailed write-up of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, apparently "an overwhelming spectacle" in both positive and other ways, GameSpot's first images of Unreal Engine 3.0, a "complete game development framework for next-generation consoles and DirectX9-equipped PCs", IGN Cube's hands-on impressions of DK Jungle Beat, allegedly "the sleeper hit of the show", 1UP's musings on The Lord Of The Rings: The Third Age, an "attempt to make a Japanese-style turn-based console RPG in America", and even GameSpot's brief impressions of a mobile phone-embedded Turrican, as the Factor 5 classic returns "pre-loaded on Siemens 65 Series phones."

Per the Unreal Technology site, Unreal Engine 3 is completed and ready to be licensed. As to when we will see games on it, I think it would be safe to say no sooner than mid next-year for PC games. Hopefully UT2k5 will be on this engine. For console gaming, wait for the next generation, about 2006 or so. This just announced: The Duke Nukem Forever team has announced that they are switching engines to the Unreal Engine 3! They apologize, but this will unfortunately add another year or 2 delay. :)
