The announcement of the PlayStation 4 (as well as the reveal of its DualShock 4 controller) has been pretty exciting and we’re beginning to find out more and more about this particular game console, as Sony continues to reveal additional information almost every couple of days.
We’ve recently looked at some of the upcoming PS4 titles, two of which come from the indie side of the industry. At the Game Developers Conference we’ve also had the chance to learn additional details concerning the future of the Metal Gear Solid series as well as its FOX Engine, and speaking of which, if -like me- you’re always getting a warm and fuzzy feeling whenever you see new graphic-engines being showcased, then you’re definitely one to be interested in the latest Unreal engine.
With Arkane Austin no more and Lyon living for who knows how long, the superb Dishonored is in serious danger; Microsoft cannot be trusted.
I love the Dishonored series so much and really want Dishonored 3. Microsoft better not screw this up.
I mean, I think the fans will probably kill Arkane Lyon by cooking up reasons to hate whatever they do next without playing it. I've never seen a game so artificially disliked as Deathloop.
Lol, why don't we just say, we are worried about all studios owned by MS now. They will keep closing studios until they have none left ...🙄
Just merge them all into a single studio, have it churn out a single Call of Duty every year and call it a day, lol.
I think it's becoming clear based on matt bootys comments there's no future for any IP that can't sell above 10 million within the launch window. But is also a small game that gives them prestige
/S it's beyond a joke right now
Here is a look at the new Joker Trailer. Warner Bros. Games today released a new MultiVersus trailer revealing the first look at gameplay for The Joker, who will join the roster as a playable character when the upcoming free-to-play platform fighter videogame launches on May 28th.
In a Game Rant interview, PUBG's Taehyun Kim explains how the team considered bringing back old lovable bugs in the Erangel Classic event.
Early days.
While ease of development and cost effective, UE is far from a great engine.
I hope it's shortcomings drive developers to create their own in-house engines and/or use better alternatives.
The shiny, plastic, bad textures that this engine is famous for needs to go.
Quote from UDK forum:
"Fully dynamic lighting and precomputed lighting are just two tools in our UE4 toolbox. We have games being made like Fortnite that are using fully dynamic lighting, no lighting build times, and the game has full flexibility to change what it desires at runtime. In the case of Fortnite, this is used to great effect with building and harvesting of resources. We don't yet have a solution for dynamic GI in the fully dynamic lighting path, this is something we hope to address in the future."
What that means is that they've cut out SVOGI (real-time global illumination) completely from UE4 because they're incapable of making it work.
This all while other engines have real time global illumination.
Perhaps this has something to do with a lot of people recently leaving Epic.
Either way SVOGI/RTGI won't be in UE4 (not even for the PC version).
It was never a great engine on consoles, but due to the cost and ease of use a lot of smaller developers embraced it like there's no tomorrow.
It's a good thing there are some really great studios out there that have their own engines.
Ones that surpasses almost every aspect of what UE offers.
Maybe its just me, but I never did find this ue4 demo that great
I think they can do better.
I never liked Unreal Engine 3. The look of the characters is horrible, it looked like they were made of clay or something. Compared to graphics like Final Fantasy XIII, Uncharted, Battlefield, etc it was really bad. I would always recognize a game made with UE3 because they all looked the same in a bad way. I was only impressed by it when they first showed the first Gears of War.
I hope that UE4 doesn't turn out bad. I still think it doesn't look as great as other engines that have been showed for PS4, but it looks nicer in comparison than what UE3 was. It's a shame that a lot of developers use it. I know the reasons, but seeing how there are other engines much better than this, I wish there as another popular engine for games.

Nice to see it looking pretty good on PS4 that quickly.. Supposedly only using 4GB of memory too because even the devs never knew PS4 had 8.. Cant wait to see a fully built game all polished up & ready to go using this engine.. I bet the worlds will be nice & big while running silky smooth in 720p or 1080p.. Hopefully the latter
