[edit] Neversoft's games

In the Neversoft article, it said that Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 was the first and last game to use RenderWare. Shouldn't we fix the article to remove the other games after THPS3? Or contact Neversoft to see if THPS3 was the last game to ever use it? Loompyloompy313 23:50, 8 June 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Real Time Worlds

Im somewhat confused about the articles claim that 3rd parties are no longer allowed to license RenderWare. CrackDown for Xbox 360 which is developed by Real Time Worlds and published by Microsoft uses RenderWare. We need to clarify that statement.D0x 00:51, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

I came here thinking exactly the same thing. I'm going to remove it, since if a recent game such as Crackdown uses it, it's still being licensed. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 160.5.247.1 (talk) 20:21, 24 February 2007 (UTC).
I can tell you catagorically that it isn't still being licenced. Real Time Worlds acquired RenderWare before EA stopped licencing it to third parties. As the article mentions, EA still honours licencing contracts from before this occurred. That game was in development a long time; I believe it's the last third-party game made with RenderWare. I'll check and update the article if so. I'm intending to wikify this article, along with the Criterion Games one INsAn13187tY (talk) 19:46, 12 May 2008 (UTC)iNsAn13187tY

[edit] List of RenderWare games

List now exists at List of renderware Games - capitalisation may be an issue in the title, needs attention. --Cnbrb 22:49, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
