So I based my comment on my view as a gamer in this situation. Engine wise there is not much to complain. The UE3 is a strong and good engine with potential. It's just not what I needed for my project to come true.

Places MojoShader can be found in use:
Unreal Tournament 3 uses MojoShader with its OpenGL renderer.

0 A.D. is a free, open-source, cross-platform real-time strategy (RTS) game of ancient warfare. It's a historically-based war/economy game that allows players to relive or rewrite the history of twelve ancient civilizations, from Iberia to Mauryan India...
I'd even say that it's better than any commercial title I've seen up to now. Just check out all the little details they have. The graphics don't have to hide eighter.
And although UT3 itself is nice, the real opportunities lie within the engine and the modding opportunities it offers.
Project Stealth anyone?

UT3 brings some little things to the table. It essentially remains to be a deathmatch game tho.

Don't worry though, that market is over-saturated so you'll see more creative stuff like World of Goo, it'll just take time. ^^
After all, the PS3 is not so far of being a linux box, that should be easy...
Ok, Gran Turismo on PC Linux, I'll be dead before it's even imagined by Sony, but a good driving simulator would be really cool...

- RPG elements
- Realism
I dont want to play another unrealistic: race your 2 million dollar car over highways in LA. Gran Turismo was cool because you had a goal to fight for and you needed real skill to get to it; but it applied a realistic element. You dont get born with a racecar! My first car was a used Mazda 323 for heavens sakes.
What would be nice to see is a truly multiplatform title similar to this. Perhaps a subscription based MMO (8 player max per race obviously). One that would evolve with the time, like buying someone's used car (similar to GT 1 and 2) or new cars coming out.
By no means an easy feat. But certainly an idea lots of people would go balls over. Dont expect sony to flop to linux. remember what happened to eve online. They sold a few copies and decided to screw everyone over. That said, the client was crap to begin with.

What is especially cool with GT is the realism of simulation (car models and physics), except that car movements are stopped when it comes to and dire end, like returning the car. However, this probably could be adjusted as soon as the community will get the GT1/2/3/4/5 code source.
There is too often race simulator that doesn't get the physics to high levels (especially the NFS series), which are therefore more arcads games than simulators.
I think torcs would be a simulator. But it really lacks top AAA workart.

Something like Live for Speed? But they don't seem very interested in ports... http://www.lfs.net/?page=faq&search=linux&id=48
