mkreku Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Apparently Crytek has been hard at work trying to cram their CryEngine 3 onto consoles.. and they've done it. In an impressive way too. Check out the demonstration videos of real time editing on a PC, Xbox 360 and a PS3.. at the same time! http://ve3d.ign.com/articles/news/49660/Cr...ech-Demo-Movies Move away from that creaky old Unreal Engine 3.. you know you want to.

Sannom Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 (edited) Since they will probably use mostly Onyx from now on, I don't really see the point And Alpha Protocol is already finished, do you really want to torture them ? Edited August 19, 2009 by Sannom

Purkake Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Do you have any idea how much time and resources you have to spend on the assets to make them look that good? I'd rather they use an engine that they are comfortable with and not the next shiny thing.
mkreku Posted August 19, 2009 Author Posted August 19, 2009 But.. it looks so.. shiny!!! ... Actually, I just wanted to show off those two impressive videos and figured this would be a neat way. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Matthew Rorie Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 I'm pretty sure Feargus has stated our desire to use Onyx in the future. Obviously there are some cases where that might not be possible, but we built it and it's pretty awesome, so we'll probably stick with what we know. Matthew Rorie

Sannom Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 I'm really curious about the Onyx. He was built with RPGs in mind, but what kind of RPG? Party-based? Can it be used for any kind of rules?
mkreku Posted August 20, 2009 Author Posted August 20, 2009 I still think it would be best to let those who specialize in tech do the tech so the game creators can do what they do best; design games. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Sannom Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 I think the ones who made Onyx were the tech of Obsidian. The game designers probably helped designing it I suppose.

Wrath of Dagon Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 I still think it would be best to let those who specialize in tech do the tech so the game creators can do what they do best; design games. There are a lot of advantages in having your own engine, the chief one is the in-house expertise which just isn't possible with someone else's.

mkreku Posted August 20, 2009 Author Posted August 20, 2009 ...but we built it and it's pretty awesome... Feel free to sprinkle a little tech candy over us geeks who are actually interested! What is Onyx? Just a renderer? A renderer and a game engine? A complete package with asset tools and everything? Does it support DX10? DX11?! Does it support streaming maps? Does it do indoors and outdoors? Is it possible to implement vehicles (without rewriting it from scratch..)? Actually, tell us everything you're allowed to! BRAG!

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 I want to see a tech demo of Onyx, please. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"
Humodour Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 I want to see OpenGL support for Onyx. Please.
Syraxis Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 (edited) I want to see OpenGL support for Onyx. Please. This. [sent from iphone] Edited August 21, 2009 by Syraxis
Lord Darius Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 Those photos are pretty impressive. Some great detail and quality.

crakkie Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 (edited) How so? Unreal3 does both DX and OpenGL. So does Gamebryo. So does Unity. It's pretty silly not to unless your engine will be only for 360 and/or PC. But just because their engine supports OpenGL doesn't necessarily mean that they will be releasing their games on PS3/Mac/Linux/Wii. Edited September 7, 2009 by crakkie Oh Jimmy, you were so funny. Don't let me down. From habit he lifts his watch; it shows him its blank face. Zero hour, Snowman thinks. Time to go.
Kaftan Barlast Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 Still, if you havent built the engine from the ground up to be able to use both APIs, its virtually impossible without rebuilding large parts of it.

Although Im all for cross-platform development, thats like saying "could you change my car into a helicopter?". (meaning you can do it, but youd have to throw away most of what you have and start over from scratch) Not really. Certainly not if you planned OpenGL support from the start. (Edit: which you acknowledge in a preceding post) If you rely on third-party packages and your engine is really just a wrapper for those than it might be a lot harder, but you've got other problems with your 'in-house' engine in that case.

Morgoth Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 Why should they use OpenGL when DirectX is the standard these days? You don't need two API's. Rain makes everything better.
mkreku Posted September 8, 2009 Author Posted September 8, 2009 DirectX is one of a few reasons why games couldn't work on other OS's as well. If you want to break Microsoft's dominance on the OS market, you need to make developers adapt to more open standards. Like Open GL. As an end user, you'd never notice the difference. The graphics will look the same and all GPU's support both standards. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

The graphics will look the same and all GPU's support both standards. The end-user may not notice a difference, but it makes a difference for the developer. After all, many tools (XNA, Visual.Net) come from microsoft, and require DX to be used. It makes the lifes of developers easier to use a well known standard. Only Blizzard and Id are serious about making Mac games. Edited September 8, 2009 by Morgoth Rain makes everything better.
