Game engines that were a waste of time - Games

[QUOTE=Suicide Requiem;16578879]How about "The Last Remnant" or MMO "Aion" ?[/QUOTE] Both of those games are terrible (well I hear Aion is bad from the beta, I don't really play MMO's). Also Aion runs on Cryengine

[QUOTE=NotYou3;16579700]the only engine i can say that failed is Gamebryo seriously Bethsoft, that's the best you could do?[/QUOTE] Yeah, they need to get a new engine. Sadly, I think they're going to use it for Fallout: New Vegas.

I don't like the UT3's engine because everything looks wrapped but it's really moddable, I'm not saying that it's bad I'm just sharing my opinion on it, for example, take a look at The Haunted mod, it's pretty awesome. id Tech 4 Engine is pretty useless.

Cryengine whatever Crysis runs off. The game could have been better if itwere running off a game engine instead of architecture simulator. My favorite engine of this year was definetly the infernal engine.

[QUOTE=qurl;16578491]Source engine can be great if people make a full conversion but most people half ass it and leave half life sounds in and shit. Just ruins the whole mod.[/QUOTE] Because that's totally the engine's fault.

[QUOTE=nige111;16580213]Because that's totally the engine's fault.[/QUOTE] I'm on about people taking advantage of it, not the performance of the engine. Read posts before you make a tit of yourself.

[QUOTE=thisispain;16578146]You can have AA and HDR at the same time if your graphics card is of this century.[/QUOTE] ATI HD4890 1GB mind you and I was talking about Oblivion. Not Fallout 3.

[QUOTE=Akayz;16578980]I mean the game was excellent but for 1997 graphics it could've been a much better presented game and would've lived on as a classic, now its just dead and forgotten even Populous used graphics ahead of its time and it was made 10 years before fallout Doom 3 engine has been used in ETQW and the new Wolfenstein game they didn't succeed greatly with the graphics...[/QUOTE] so fallout wasn't a classic because the graphics weren't the best? uhh

[QUOTE=Sporbie;16579584]How the fuck is Fallout not a classic? [/QUOTE] where did I ever say that lol, Fallout is probably one of the greatest games ever made XD the graphics could've been a little better for the time thats just what I'm saying

The heavily modified unreal engine 2 that 3d realms used for Duke Nukem: forever.

[QUOTE=Akayz;16580344]where did I ever say that lol, Fallout is probably one of the greatest games ever made XD the graphics could've been a little better for the time thats just what I'm saying[/QUOTE] They're pretty good sprites for 1997. Even at 1024x768 (Hi-resolution mod) I hardly see pixels.

[QUOTE=Akayz;16578980]I mean the game was excellent but for 1997 graphics it could've been a much better presented game and would've lived on as a classic, now its just dead and forgotten .[/QUOTE] What the hell is wrong with you? it is a classic, and its not dead and forgotten at all.

[QUOTE=Owner3;16580299]if some random modder doesn't make a "good quality" mod, the engine is suddenly a waste of time what[/QUOTE] It was a quote to "Source is outdated" Stop being a pleb

[QUOTE=qurl;16580403]It was a quote to "Source is outdated" Stop being a pleb[/QUOTE] if an engine is outdated that doesn't mean it was a waste of time, it means it served its purpose and still continues to do so, way past its "expiration"

Added to ignore list because you're obviously just trying to irritate people.

I still play Fallout 1/2, and I don't do it because of the graphics.

I wonder how many of the posters here realise the collosal amount of work it is to make a decent engine? - small developers simply can't and can't afford to make brand new engines which are on a par with those who have big money.

And Gamebryo is good. It's a perfect enginge for Civilization IV

[QUOTE=venn177;16577730]CryEngine 3. Making games look worse is advancing an engine, when you already have the most graphically advanced engine in gaming?[/QUOTE] OH FUCK, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND CryEngine 3 is CryEngine 2 with deffered lightning and console support. Why is that bad?

Ptero-Engine III

They have plenty of money yet they just re-used Oblivion's crappy engine on Fallout 3. I'm sure if they made an engine that actually [i]feels[/i] like an FPS engine they would have been way more successfull with their game, instead they used some chunky, outdated and annoying engine and screwed it all up.

[QUOTE=thisispain;16578146]You can have AA and HDR at the same time if your graphics card is of this century.[/QUOTE] I have a 9800 gt and it says I can't either.

You can turn on HDR and then force aa in the drivers control panel

Game Maker.
