Original post by Daaark Good thing the Age of The Fall is dead, or you'd have to include a cut scene of Tyler Black badmouthing the platform of choice in all your versions. :) Will Cabana be bringing his good friend Matt Classic along? Your technology seems very unrealistic, why all those engines? XNA covers Windows and XBLIG Unity covers Windows, IPhone, Mac, IPad UDK just overlaps the Windows platform, and offers no additional benfits. You could simply have Unity as your base platform here, publish to all possible platforms it supports. Then do an XNA port for XBLIG. Unity allows C# as one of it's scripting options. So game-logic wise, the poor coder wouldn't be starting from scratch.

Original post by Daaark Oops, I totally forgot about the Win7 phone port, but Win 7 mobile uses XNA 4.0 anyways, so you are covered there. It just seems like a waste of extra work to involve the UDK, which is usually best aimed at publishing unreal mods anyways, when the other 2 options have you covered. Unity covers IPAD, IPhone, Mac, Web Embedding, and Windows. The windows/Mac version is up there Unreal in graphics quality, especially Unity 3. You could use that as your base, and then simply port over to XNA 4.0 when you are done.

My key issue is that Unity 3 isn't out for a while and requires an upfront investment versus UDK - which is free until money is being made. The simplest answer though is that I want the powerful engine practically available behind the game. Does Unity handle sweat effects?

The simplest answer though is that I want the powerful engine practically available behind the game. Does Unity handle sweat effects? A custom shader will handle your sweat effects. Unity is free upfront you pay a small premium for extra features, and when you make a certain amount of money. Your scenes will transfer over to Unity 3 and acquire access to UDK is free, but there are other products included in the SDK that require the own licensing fees. I'm not sure if that was changed in a recent version or not. Unreal doesn't have a good track record with wrestling/fighting games. It's an FPS engine, it will require heavy modification As for "most powerful engine", neither of them will get you a pro wrestling game out of the box, but Unity is more open ended. And most of the features of both will be out of scope for a game that takes place in a fixed location with a few models playing animations... (Unless you want to have a falls count anywhere match span 60 miles of streaming terrain...) In Unity you'll import your models, place them in scenes, and then script your game objects with any behavior you want. In UDK you make unreal levels / content, and then have to alter the fps engine and try and make it behave like something else. You'll have to write that stuff in Unreal Script too. UDK doesn't match up very well with your platform goals, and adds tons of extra work.
