Unreal Engine 3 to come loaded with GameSpy technology

GameSpy has now joined the Epic’s Integrated Partners Program. They would now be providing their technologies to the company’s videogame titles including the Unreal Engine 3.

This would enable the gaming company to offer seamless PC and Playstation 3 interoperability.

The two companies said in a statement that this integration would create an “integrated one-stop solution for game developers looking to leverage the world’s most advanced multi-player technology and game engine in one package”.

GameSpy would be offering their cross-platform gameplay, communication tools and competition applications.

Epic president Mark Rein had this to say on this collaborative deal: “We’re very excited to welcome GameSpy into the Integrated Partners Program. GameSpy is the leader in multiplayer gaming technology and has a vast amount of experience in developing rich and sophisticated multiplayer systems with community and commerce features that Epic and its Unreal Engine 3 licensees can directly benefit from. Having GameSpy integrate their technology into our engine and provide direct support for our licensees is a huge value-add for Unreal Engine 3.”
