Func_Msgboard: Other PC Games Thread.

So with the film and music threads still going and being discussed... why don't we get some discussion going on something on topic to the board? What other games are you playing now?

They did release some paper last year:

Also some walkthrough of the editor and some tech info:

And yes, million dollar art budgets and such. I totally agree. I also tend to get more excited about NPR and innovative art direction nowadays. Nevertheless, impressive stuff.

One thing I wish would get solved once and for all in this generation is transparency.

I hope something is coming out of that Samaritan demo ;) I loved the noir cyberpunk setting.

Come on, those "engine ads" are actually aimed at general public to support the brand and make the "build with WHATERVER tech #" a selling point for the gamers. And execs too of course.

Cryengine Flow Graph > Kismet all day btw.

"Cryengine Flow Graph > Kismet all day btw. "

Have you played with UE4 Kismet/Blueprints yet? It's a LARGE step up from UE3.

Btw

what Unreal3 tech games officially have map editor and custom maps support?

#6473 posted by sikkpin on 2013/03/31 16:46:54

GoW and UT3 are the only two I can think of off the top of my head.

U-Engine

I've always loved the Unreal Editor, the kismet system shown is really impressive. It's great to see that Shane still works at Epic, he seemed to drop off the radar somehow. Remember the days when the guys making the games were really at a kind of celeb status? Not really like that so much these days (except for guys like Carmack or Miyamoto).

Haha, I remember the nineties too. It's great until they try to make you their bitch though, then it all ends in tears.

ok that video was nice. the debugger looks amazing.

I Really Dont Get It

#6477 posted by nitin on 2013/04/01 00:50:46

the ad markets exactly what it says (engine) but you guys want it to market something else (game).

That would be when Epic pimps the next GoW or Unreal?? All your where is the gameplay comments would be valid then.

I just read the Epic Siggraph 2012 paper. I understood some of those words. Actually really awesome reading though, thanks Spiney.

The voxel cone nonsense seems mad cool. I thought this video by Cyril Crassin (the author of the original paper) does a great job of demonstrating it:

Why Does Everyone Call That A Paper? :D

http://maverick.inria.fr/Publications/2011/CNSGE11b/GIVoxels-pg2011-authors.pdf this is a paper :-)

Nice slides nonetheless, i didn't know they had a siggraph talk.

#6480 posted by Spiney on 2013/04/01 15:46:12

I thought it was a paper, I might just have remembered wrong :P

It Is Not A Paper...

.. pdf is electronic format, till you print it, then it becomes paper...

/you ignorant !!

Why? because I'm not a clever man. Why must everyone insist on pointing this out?

said paper.

#6484 posted by slap map on 2013/04/01 20:19:51

Wait, what? Out of all the hundreds games that use UE3 only 2 Epics own titles have editor/custom map suport?

Quick google couldn't find much relevant info.
Does it have much to do with everyone selling DLCs instead of letting users make their own mods or what.

#6485 posted by Spiney on 2013/04/01 20:52:49

Yeah, it's kind of depressing...
I know there's workarounds for UDK that work with some titles, but nothing official.

Game Engine Looks Amazing.

Now make a cyberpunk Skyrim in the video setting, with Crytek-esque gameplay.

Thanks!!!

Very cool roguelike with story and stuff: http://teleglitch.com/

#6489 posted by FifthElephant on 2013/04/04 17:52:47

Awesome! It's like a top-down Doom/Quake with perma-death and crafting!
Definitely recommend playing, I saw it on TIGSource ages ago!

Thanks for posting that! It is like an amalgamation of all things I love about gaming. You made my day.

And That Makes Me Happy In Return!

Unreal Engine 4

#6492 posted by JPL on 2013/04/04 21:34:23

http://www.extremetech.com/gaming/152511-unreal-engine-4-looks-much-better-on-the-pc-compared-to-the-ps4

This one reminds me a lot Lord of The Ring: a mix in between Sauron and Balrog >E

This one is interesting too

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dO2rM-l-vdQ

Note that it is not image synthesis, but really Unreal engine 4. Nevertheless, it is precised that the engine run 4 times slower that normal speed, exploiting 100% of GTX680 processing capabilities. Hence, to run the game with its full power, it would need four GTX680 to get a real time playable demo

After small calculation it means "basically" and roughly just 12 Terra Flops a 14 billions of transistors... just a "small" GFX setup
