i know the unreal engine is a great engine but why use UNREAL ENGINE for DUST 514. I mean you got FROST BITE, CRYSIS ENGINE and the best engine of all FOX ENGINE.
the only reason i can think that they used UNREAL because it's cheaper, but i would of like to see it in a different engine.
i would loved to see DUST on the FOX ENGINE...
i know that these engines are in house but do that change the use of them? also i know FOX ENGINE isn't out yet. |

Yes the studios that create the engine charge any other company that want to use them. Wouldn't be very good business to spend years developing a game engine only to give it away to your competitors. |

Unreal 3 is the most used engine this generation. While price may be an issue, unreal is quite famous for their tools that they develop and update along with their engine that makes programing much easier for smaller teams. If you look at DUST a lot of the issues are not engine based, but rather network or optimization. Unreal was a good choice for a realitivly small company like CCP who has no inhouse FPS experience. Give them some time. Unreal has all the tech that CCP needs, so now they just need time and drive... |

Not sure if trolling or just stupid. Frostbite is EAs engine. CryEngine is Cryteks. Fox Engine, which we know nothing about, is Kojimas. Also, they take tons of time to develop with, and would never be able to do what Dust does at the moment without requiring a 600-700 dollar PC. |

Dust showed it's first playable in house demo back in 2009, so development was probably running for the prior 1-2 years. That was right around when the Unreal 3 engine was released.
CryEngine 2 had already been out for some time by then, and the 3rd installment was announced during DUSTs beginning.
Frostbite 1 was released at around the same time as the Unreal Engine, but Unreal is better in just about every possible way.
And Fox hasn't even been released yet.
Unreal 3 was simply the best engine to use at that time and still continues to produce AAA award winning games to this day (Batman games, Gears of War games, all three Mass Effects, Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars). CCP has already payed for the rights to use this engine, why would they shell out even more to /try/ to transfer as much as possible to a completely different engine and most likely lose a giant portion of the four plus years they've spent developing it?
What don't you like about the engine anyways? |

Besides any script kiddie knows how to program "rooms" with UT3 so there's no shortage of getting people experienced with UT3 engine. |

Screen tearing.
Inconsistent framerate.
Texture pop-in from hell.
Ugly blurry textures ('Damn. Thats low res. It must still be loading. Oh wait.')
The way assets are streamed in making it look like GTA3 on the PS2.
That vaseline filter.
Ugly over-saturated lighting (every game plays like you're in a nightclub/high on PCP).
Input lag (for those of you thinking the problem using a mouse and keyboard is a DUST 514 one; good luck waiting for a fix. Its a known Unreal 3 issue.)
...I could go on.
Its a really nasty engine. Very few devs can actually squeeze anything decent out of it.
As soon as I see 'Powered By Unreal Technology' my heart sinks.
Good luck CCP. You're gonna need it.

I wonder if CCP will consider porting their Carbon engine to the consoles later on.
Bit I doubt it, it is not an FPS engine at all. |

I'm sure if you asked nicely CCP would toss away years of research into the way they wanted to develop and deploy this game.
They could then, in a matter of a few weeks, completely overhaul their game with a brand new engine that would work seamlessly.

First the Cryengine 3 is A LICENSE ENGINE exactly like the UE so CCP could have used that.
Second: at today Cryengine 3 it's the best license engine on the market; Cryengine 3 can already do on PC what Unreal Engine 4 will do next gen: it's a fact.
As much as I hate Yerli he did a marvelous job with the Crynegine 3.
Cryengien on PS3 is only surpassed by the ND & GG engines which are tailored on the PS3 and so can exploit it like no-one else.
This said the UE is a great engine, my favorite license engine, and it's super versatile but IMHO it's not suited for games that wants to achieve photo-realism...the Frostbite 2 is that kind of engine.
In fact one of the greatest things about UE it's that its "look/style" is not limited to "I want to look like real life" and it's the reason why it shines far more in titles such as Transformers Fall of Cybertron then in Dust 514 that wants to be photo realistic. |

just really bored with unreal engine, but i think i have always been bored with it. when some use's the unreal to me it's like the easy way out ,there no innovation in games these days everyone comforting to the norm. the only games company/third party games company that look like their pushing the boundaries Hideo Kojima/KONAMI.

I really want to know how any of you can say something on the Fox Engine when ti will be officially shown for the firs time in two days.
There is not a tech demo of the Fox engine in existence so you are just guessing.
Also the Fox Engine it's internal engine and not a license one. |

That is not a tech demo, that is a off-screen sneak peak of a looped video.
You can't judge the quality of an engine by still frames or that.
This is a tech demo. |

Sure it will but also the new Sony engine tailored for PS4 made and by Naughty Dog & Guerrilla Games engine departments.
One thing is for sure: lots of great engines around, even the UE, and sadly Dust 514 is not delivering well.
Tribes is a better looking game even at 720p with 30fps and maps are big there as well. |

U3 engine gives ccp as much flexability possible as far as integration with EvE online goes! The mmo aspect of the game would suffer tremendously if it was under a newer engine due to the ps3 hardware limitations. Hell these current gen consoles could barely handle FB 2.0 with bf3 (thats why the player count waa cut signifigantly in comparison to the pc version of bf3) and that was without the type of epic scale that dust 514 is going for! Unreal 3 was most likely the most realistic route to take if ccp wants to attain their ultimate, historical goal most effectively. |

Care to back that up with any evidence?
Its no more MMO than MAG. Which had more players per match and a metagame.

I actually read some time ago that the Carbon engine has been developed to be quite modular and versatile. BUT it needs all the (FPS)modules to be developed from scratch. As CCP does not have those modules as far as I know ( from which game developement?) it is much wiser to use a (already developed) license engine as the base for their ambitious effort to create procedural battlefields on one single server with thousands of planets, game integration and cross platform gaming etc.
IF the implementation worked and the game mechanics have been developed, I thinks it's easier to adapt the mechanic to Carbon (modules) and create a PS4 version of Carbon. At least that's the way I would do ... esspecially as Carbon for a FPS will definitely have a higher resource load than the current console may handle. The PS3 is just to weak on basic things like RAM to be a base for developing new engine (which all always more resource hungy before streamlined) and new game mechanics at once. |

LOL! But MAG had massive cross-platform implications just like DUST does right? But MAG WASN'T running off a much more arcaic engine in order to accomodate those 256 players though right? Gimme a break |

Technically Dust 514 uses the carbon engine as well. Carbon is just a engine methoodology they use between eve dust 514 and world of darkness. The idea is that if any one of these games develops a technological advantage or valuable assest the other two could possibily benifit. For example Dust 514 development lead to planets being redone (again) so shortly after the first rehash. |

MAG felt more like a gimmick then anything else. My squad and I personally never encountered more than 12-16 players at a time with the way the game was designed. Certainly MAG never had any effect on a persistent universe like dust 514 will have. |
