Star Wars: Republic Commando.
There's a trailer on pc.ign.com, but you have to subscribe. Bastards. Anyone found it anywhere?

I think that ought to do it.

Ooh. Looks saucy. Doom III engine, maybe? Apparently you play as an AOTC-era Republic Clone Commando. Traditionally, Lucasarts is unmatched at churning out cool games, so we'll see how this comes out.
Other E3 news: Warhammer 40K FPS, where you play as a Tau Fire Warrior against the Imperium. Isn't that a change...!

D3 engine? Seems too early for that, since that engine isn't even done yet!

Speculation. The trailer might not be a gameplay trailer, of course. But it has the same visual depth and lighting that I've seen in the DOOM pics and trailers so far.
Still, 'photorealism' is a state of graphics, not a trademark of a specific engine, so you stand a much better chance of being right than I do.

According to one of the captions, this is running on the 'Unreal Warfare' engine.

*sigh* I wish they hadn't cancelled X-Com Alliance.

The trailer looks reminiscent of Aliens with the clone commandos as marines and the Genosians as xenomorphs.

Cool... I think that's the UT2004 engine. Unreal's always been friendly for modmakers, commercial or otherwise.
