Probably not.. so far we havent seen many games run at the full potential of the U3 engine due to the average joe's hardware being too old.
I remember some of the really early demonstrations of the U3 engine, even back then it could compete with modern titles visually.
Besides, the U3 engine is built similar to the source engine if i remember things right, that everything is built in modules that can be expanded etc.

Seems they did: http://www.computerandvideogames.com/273623/bioshock-infinite-unreal-engine-3-wasnt-enough/
It looks too good to be stock, nothing like UE4 though

Crysis 3 was fucking awesome IMO, probably the best graphics I've seen in any game, I had never played a Crysis game before so the gameplay was new to me, and I really liked it, its mostly about stealth considering most of the time if you try and run to the enemies you get your ass kicked.
I just got Dead Space 3, going to start it tonight or tomorrow.

I think most of what they are speaking of was made by adding "modules" like i said(And i seriously cant see the floating world thing as a HUGE thing to implement.).
But yeah, seems they added some pretty cool stuff that no doubt took some massive work to get done.
This part was probably the biggest overhaul to the engine though, as i could imagine that it affects huge parts of the previous "modules":
And yeah, UE4 seems like an amazing tool for developers.. its not the most visually stunning next-gen engine, but as far as what it can do and how the developers will be able to create with it i actually dare to say that this might become one of the greatest game engines so far.

I have started the new Metal Gear. I don't know if I like it or hate it, has any of you finished it ? I did only a few hours of play and got a little bored, should I push further, is it worth it ?

The Darkness 2 - 8/10
I didn't think I would like this, but I had a great time - Very linear narrative driven, very violent, includes a move called ASSECUTION (ripping out spine/skull via b-hole).

Are you talking about Metal Gear Rising? Cause I enjoyed the shit out of that one. I'd say its worth it getting through the whole game for the final boss fights or any of the boss fight really, being as they are so entertaining. Story's pretty cool too and hours of codec calls that explain everything that's been going on.

Just got into bioshock, finished the first one. It's amazing, loved the while vibe of it 9/10. Looking foward the next two.

I just did my first pass through Journey and I'm still puzzled by its simplicity, I might have had the best video-ludic experience of my life.

Bioshock infinite was cool. I give it a 8/10. The story, ambience and art are pretty cool altough the game could have been better IMO, the gameplay and A.I. are dumb and basically the same as Bioshock 1. Still fun and interesting and it's very good compared to other first person shooters released these days.
Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon was really badass and funny.
I gave it a 9.0/10 http://metalarcade.net/2013/05/far-cry-3-blood-dragon-review/

Alan Wake: "I don't hate numbers that much"/"Seriously, not even 10, even though I walked in on it in the middle of a geriatric gangbang and it scarred me for life", to the extent that one sentence has been taken out back and shot so that the following could be issued as part of a hostage bargain for the following to be posted.
I can't even get how this game can be scary to people who still need to be read bedtime stories and assured that Ronald Reagan isn't hiding under their bed, let alone anyone who would be won over by the constant Stephen King todgerlodging.
The whole thing looks like it's one Rohypnol away from 'THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL FEEL IT IS SUPER SCARY YES YOU HEY LOOK HOW UNSETTLING IT WOULD BE IF YOU HAD NO SENSE OF HOW SPECIAL-NEEDS CHILDREN ARE SPOOKED BY HAUNTED HOUSES MADE OF POPPING SOUNDS AND ODDLY-LUMBERING ELDERLY INCOMPETENTS', with that shortage only occurring because they used up all their lye trying to get the voice actors sounding as predictable as possible... with further recording as the stick and chemical burns as the carrot. There's as much subtlety as an atom bomb, but without the satisfaction of thinking that the people who died screaming in agony did so for a good cause.
I severely do not get it at all. Everything terrible occurs because the main character is a massive asshat, and why I'd play the game instead of having him die at the hands of sheer pointlessness is beyond me...
There is literally not a single aspect of this production that doesn't make me want to just have Alan Wake die as many times as possible. Even the 'I have to rescue my wife' angle is blown right out after the realization that the only difference between that asshole and the kidnapper is that the kidnapper at least has a modicum of honesty about using people's deeply-set fears to manipulate people around them for absolutely clinically fucktarded reasons. I am literally siding with a backwoods felon wearing *flannel* over the title character in a manner so genuine that my heart would have grown three sizes too large if I had the energy to possess one anymore.
I am so disappointed by this that I actually started questioning my value of things like 'atmosphere'. There was a level in the *worst* Thief game (Shalebridge Cradle, in Deadly Shadows) whose atmosphere made this game seem like asphyxiating on hopelessness itself in the least worthwhile way possible, and there was a brief moment before I remembered that storyline where I thought that maybe I have always hated gaming and just never realized it.
Mass Effect DLC, overall a ~$100 scam to throw more money at people who blew ~$80 on launch day for the non-nerfed edition of the latest game, had so much more grip on my sense of reality that I must have become some really rubbish cinematic Cylon in order to appreciate clear corporate cockgobbling more than independent innovation on such a truly remarkable scale. Everything about this game looked like a labor of love meant to explore fear itself, but all I want is to advance through the game only as quickly as absolutely necessary to see the poncy protagonist die demonic deaths in as many ways as possible. I just give up.
