October 18, 2005 - Epic Games announced today that it had licensed OC3 Entertainment's FaceFX facial animation technology for use in its Unreal Engine 3. The agreement means that all licensees of the Unreal Engine 3 will have access to the FaceFX technology.

Epic intends to use the technology in its upcoming Unreal Tournament 2007 and Gears of War titles to create emotive characters and cinematic-quality dialogue sequences.

I haven't seen any of the FaceFX stuff. Is it any good?

Is this just annouced or something they JUST picked up. If its the former then they are in for a bitch of a problem as the Valve people found out(According to the making of, it took five months of solid work with their own team to get the facework down.)
