Unreal 3 graphics engine looks great and will do the dishes

Tim Sweeney gives good interview. He's remarkably candid about the upcoming Unreal 3 engine in this Gamesdomain piece. The technology sports some of the best eye candy you've ever seen, but won't be readily available in games until 2006. Apparently, the just-released generation of video cards will only run Unreal 3 at 25-30 frames per second. That's almost scary.  Still, the future looks good. Sweeney boasts, "There are already several UE3 titles underway. We're developing our next-generation game, three teams are already using it in their development process, and a bunch of others are about to start."
