Next Unreal Engine 3 Game:….Barbie?!?!

Well, Cliff Bleszinski did say he wanted games other than shooters to use the hot Unreal Engine 3 technology. And now his wishes has come true.

In an interview with Mark Rein, one of the top executives at Epic Games, he stated that:

The industry thinks, ‘Well, if I’m going to make a shooter, I’ve got to use Unreal.’ That’s a good start, we like that! Now, we want them to think Unreal if they’re making a sports game, a driving game…” A Barbie Horse and Ride game, perhaps? “That would be perfect! A perfect kind of game for Unreal!

It’s not too surprising, given pretty much every developer is licensing the technology these days. And why wouldn’t you want your game to look as good as games like Gears of War or Mass Effect?
