Gamasutra interview of N. Yoshida

Some of their sister companies use the U3 Engine, is why there might be some "suspicion" (I believe there was a link below that article Pretty Princess that made mention of SE resigning use of U3 Engine).

But like others have already mentioned, Yoshi-P has already stated that the new engine is being developed by the developers of the Luminous Engine to work in conjunction with parts of the Crystal Tools Engine.

not only that but when SE announced the white engine they said they used the unreal engine as its main influence.

they didnt go into that much detail but it seemed to me that they took some core elements of the unreal engine and just modified it from there.
