Red Mile licenses Unreal Engine 3 for Sin City game
Red Mile Entertainment's game to kill for, Sin City, is set to be powered by the increasingly pervasive Unreal Engine 3. The developer announced today that it has entered into a licensing agreement with Gears of War monger Epic Games, with president and COO Glenn Wong describing the technology as a "perfect fit for our Sin City video games." Said games are to be based upon Frank Miller's popular series of Sin City graphic novels, which recently served as basis for a successful 2005 film (confusingly titled "Sin City").Not much is known about the initial game at this stage, save for the fact that it'll be overseen by Escape from Butcher Bay writer, Flint Dille. Oh, and that it'll be powered by Unreal Engine 3. We should probably write a news post about that.

I'm incredibly excited.
Especially since Red Mile are the masterminds behind the Jackass game.

Unreal Engine and Detective story...
Frame City Killer ring any bells?
Not that I don't have hope for this game. I just wish it doesn't end up like Frame City Killer.

I check the list. Rubber tubing, gas, saw, gloves, cuffs, razor wire, hatchet, Gladys, and my mitts.

That's a mighty fine coat you have there.

Please don't suck...Please Don't Suck...
I really hope they go for the look of the book, that style(done right), with good graphics=win.

judging by UT3 and Gears... the unreal engine should be perfect for rendering Marv

Last time I checked comic pages were made of paper, not plastic.

This could look so amazing. It could also just look like a black-and-white title with no inspiration. Personally, I'm kind of hoping for the formal.

Er, for the 'former'. It's 4 AM, my brain is bacon.

I expect high visuals, high franchise milking, but low gameplay.

I was wondering how long it would be until we were graced with a Sin City game. Score!

Is it just me or does anyone else have a feeling that this is going to end up playing like a poor man's Max Payne !
maylon @ Dec 21st 2007 11:05AM
That automatically makes it awesome.

SIN CITY GAME!? Please don't suck! I hope it can get the graphic novel look right. I'd buy it anyway. Playing as Marv would be so cool. I hope there is no stealth or ducking just ass kicking.
