What do you think is the best gaming engine ever and why? Feel free to use and explain your own criteria. I am picking the Infinity Engine for being used to make nothing but games that I enjoyed. |

Engines don't make games. Developers do. If Infinity had a publicly available SDK, and was therefore accessible to the kinds of people who remake Zork using RPGMaker2000, I can guarantee that 90%+ of the games available for it would be ones you would not enjoy. I pick Unreal Engine. It's lasted for twelve years and counting, and it's versatile enough to be used in pretty much any kind of 3D game other than large scale strategy games. Too bad it still defaults to Vert - behavior. |

Best "ever" or the "current best"? If the former, I am tempted to say either the UT99 engine or the Q3 engine. Currently, my vote goes to Source. |

+1 to the Source engine. Great SDK support, native Hor+, scaleable across poor to awesome PC configurations, huge modding community for it. |

Source engine Quake engine Hm.... unsure of which gets it. I play more Source engine games today still... but i "think" the quake engine may have been more important to gaming. Plus source engine is a derivative of the quake engine in a long waffled based discussion... so.... QUAKE engine hands down. |

Definitely the Source Engine. Incredibly smooth and can run decent even on integrated graphics. |

Uhhhh yep. But yes, it comes down to a competent developer. Those are in short supply :( |
