Perhaps in an honest HR mistake, Midway has posted a job opening for a "Level Layout Designer" on CreativeHeads.net. The opening is for work on a next-generation "First Person Shooter" in development for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Nintendo Revolution and requests applicants be familiar with the Unreal 3 Engine.
Some may recall that in November 2005 Mark Rein, vice president of Epic Games (creator of the Unreal 3 Engine) commented on how he would like to see the Revolution, if capable, use the engine. Rein noted, "...I think Unreal Engine 3 and Nintendo Revolution would be very well suited to each other...We don't know right now what the machine's capable of or not capable of, and we've built Unreal Engine 3 to a certain specification. If the machine can run the engine, it'd be fantastic to have it on there."
It's known that the Revolution will be less technically adept compared to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Could it be that Midway's posting is inaccurate or will the Revolution indeed be capable of using the Unreal 3 engine? We'll wait for official word and let you know.
