Whose Next Gen cause Graphically it looks just like FarCry2 to me! I wonder will it have the awesome grass fire that FarCry2 had cause that was really cool.

Gray-Fox-Type04625d ago

what this engine looked like current gen games...nothing special about it.

SilentNegotiator4625d ago (Edited 4625d ago )

A little early to make a judgement call either way. More important than graphics when it comes to engines themselves is efficiency and development options/tools.

One early demo isn't going to show that.

ATi_Elite4625d ago

Yeh i agree..

I compared it to FarCry 2 and got mad crazy disagrees but seriously it doesn't look anything special that i would consider next Gen like BF3!

MaxXAttaxX4624d ago (Edited 4624d ago )

You got "crazy disagrees" because you said it looked like FarCry2, despite the title saying next-gen "READY".

That screen is from a current project.

Shane Kim4625d ago

There are engines that are over a decade old and can still look pretty good to this day. It's about the dev tools and how to further optimise the engine.

leahcim4624d ago

its a PICTURE!!!! you have to see it in actual movement to say what you are all saying

showtimefolks4624d ago

if we want to see a huge jump in graphics and in performance than we should be willing to pay 599 plus but as we saw with ps3/sony that 599 price for a console won't happen.

so next gen won't be as huge jumo as ps2 to ps3 was.

now if the companies actually wait till 2015 and i do mean nothing before 2015 we could see a huge jump and a decent price point

but MS will jump the gun to get a head start we can all bet on that and we will all most likely win that bet

and i am glad kojima took his time to make sure it was next gen ready to deliver a MGS game at launch for next gen consoles or maybe a year after launch

Bay4625d ago

I'd say the Unreal Engine is next-gen ready, what with the Samaritan demo and all...

Not sure about Kojima's FOX engine though. Looks like current gen games, although there hasn't been much games or demos for it yet.

zinki334625d ago (Edited 4625d ago )

Yes ,.. maybe,.. but to get that thing running at stable framerate in gameplay mode,.. We will probably have to wait 3 or more years, if we expect consoles to be affordable to most gamers,.. It was certainly impressive.

Can anyone link what rig that was running on @reso@fps?

@fluffydelusions (DOWN) Thanx bro!
lol,.. ok than,.. damn,.. lololol never mind consoles in 3 years, to get so affordable,..

fluffydelusions4625d ago

Well I know it had 3x580's in it...

Voxelman4625d ago

1920x1080 60fps
3X GTX580

But Epic said that it was unoptimised and they said could get it down to 1 GTX580. Add in lower profile OS and less API overhead of consoles and it should be doable by a ~$500 console in late 2012.

nickjkl4625d ago

wait what no

put a gtx 580 in a console in 2012

do you want them to over heat or something

Voxelman4625d ago (Edited 4625d ago )

@ nickjkl I actually meant to put "2013" lol but no not a GTX 580 but a GTX 660/HD 7770 equivalent should be about right which should offer similar performance as a 580 once tweaked and optimised for consoles, at much lower power and heat.

Nvidia are promising significant reductions in power usage and heat from their next arch thanks new power management and transistor design and going down to 28nm should offer insane performance per watt.

And given the more likely date of late 2013/14 for Sony and MS's next consoles and you are looking at a generation of GPUs past even that.

MaxXAttaxX4624d ago

That's $1500. No thanks.

junk3d4625d ago

Man I really want to see this on the PC and see if it takes advantage of DX 11.

DankJemo4625d ago

I wonder if we are going to see this engine first in an MGS game, or if he's got something bigger planned for it. I know Kojima has been talking about other projects recently. Either way, it is going to be an interesting bit of information when it finally comes out.

zero_cool4625d ago (Edited 4625d ago )

Id say the fox engine rivals the best game engines in the gaming industry thus far!

cj1pate1014625d ago

You sir = epic fail. Your that type of person that can see god waving his hand in your face but you would still ignore it. Last time I checked the only thing they have shown was screen shots of the engine. Have you worked with this piece of flop yet? I don't think so kid. The best part is next gen consoles will have 4 gigs of ddr3 ram and a graphics card no way close to what I have in my computer. So while your games look like this =/..Pc will have evolved to much greater heights then this bs. O and btw my graphics card is a 4 gigs of ddr5 video ram while ur console 256MB of RAM and 256MB of video RAM -.-. Epic fail kid epic fail.

BubbleSniper4625d ago

how fast is your clock speeds on your gpu? if you dont mind me asking

cj1pate1014625d ago

How do you disagree with a console having 256 mb of ram and a computer having a dedicated 4 gigs of vid ram.

colombiankilla014625d ago

I think people disagreed with you because you sound like a 12 year old little queer! Epic fail epic fail epic fail ! STFU

Bonobo123454624d ago (Edited 4624d ago )

@cj1pate101

Ha! he made a valid comment, an engine doesn't have to have anything to do with hardware, it's software and can be made to run on various platforms, his point is valid since all we have seen is a screenshot! no one know the details yet.

He just stated his point of view but what confuses me is that you saw this as your cue to insert pre thought out argument in a completely pointless circumstance.

grow up kid, I have quite a beastly PC but I don't find the need to go around the nets inserting pointless arguments where they don't belong.

You fail gamers, the industry and most importantly, yourself.

MaxXAttaxX4624d ago (Edited 4624d ago )

They have serious insecurity issues.

He doesn't know anything about it, yet he calls it a "piece of flop".

Truth4624d ago

it is a very nice looking game engine and I'm sure in the right developers hands with the right hardware it will be amazing. Don't forget Kojima was the first to truly push the PS3 with MGS4 and it still holds up pretty good even today. And wow, so you have a nice gaming rig. Who cares? I have an E46 M3 with headers, under drive pullies, flashed ECU and possibly a HPF turbo build coming in the next few months. So yeah, you're computer can emulate your pimply face with it's hardcore, pwnage, epic, l33t ( insert other immature crap adverbs )graphics cards, but my car is cooler, faster and picks up more women than yours. Have fun exploding in your pants when you're explaining your rig to your D&D friends, while I'm railing chicks in the club. :D

Konami Unveils PES Plans For Next-Gen, Will Transition To Unreal Engine

PES will finally transition from the Fox Engine to the Unreal Engine, and the game will allow for more realistic player models and animations, enhanced physics, photorealistic visuals, and much more.
Is this the end for Kojima's hailing Fox Engine?

Wheres Silent Hill,
Wheres MGS,
No one gives a F**K about PES

Ninjamonkey821378d ago

Tbh without kojima i'd not play MGS. Im a fan off both games you speak off but, PES is still a good football game and theres a great deal off players give a crap about it.

vivid831377d ago

A lot of people give a F**K about PES actually

RaidenBlack1377d ago

Need a potent dev for MGS.
If an internal team is going to handle the project, then which game engine will they use?
Fox Engine like MGSurvive? Or will they also transition to UE?
MGS series is known for using state of the art proprietary game engines.

Nacho_Z1378d ago

That's great but for gods sake let's have a new commentary team with all new dialogue and more intelligent analysis. Great way to make a game feel stale out of the box when they're saying the exact same stuff they were five years ago.

Commentary isn't important in itself but it's an example of how they leave some things to stagnate while focusing on tiny improvements in animations.

Metal Gear Solid 3 on The FOX Engine is Too Good To be True

What if Metal Gear Solid 3 (argubly the best in the series) gets remade in MGS V’s FOX Engine. YouTuber kur ko04 gives us an idea. While definitely not official, it certainly looks pretty beli…

affrogamer2687d ago

good lawd!! I still pray for that day!

mikeslemonade2687d ago (Edited 2687d ago )

3 is Simply the best MGS in the series. 4 too linear and cod like. And 5 is too boring making you travel quest to quest.

I3loggs242687d ago

mgs3 is pretty great but nothing beats mgs1, and mgs2 is a masterpiece in terms of creativity and execution.

Gitgud2686d ago

my fav is MGS 2, but you shutting down 4 like that is bs. 5 had it's mistakes, but the game is still amazing.

bouzebbal2686d ago (Edited 2686d ago )

MGS3 is definitely the best in the series by far and is my first MGS.
I actually just played the jungle level in U4 yesterday and this video is really not that impressive. It's okay!
Vegetation is actually better animated in the original Snake Eater.
The title is very deceiving, as always *roll eyes*

2pacalypsenow2686d ago (Edited 2686d ago )

Lol MGS 3 was just as linear as 4, in fact every metal gear solid game before PW was linear. And how was it COD like?

morganfell2686d ago (Edited 2686d ago )

MGS4. My favorite title still...of any game. A reveal unlike any other.

Who is Darth Revan? Pffft.

Nothing beats the mind blowing reality of Debriefing Naked Son. A massive sleight of hand 20 years in the making when the truth of the Metal Gear series is at last uncovered. A revelation no one saw coming as they thought the game had ended and assumed they knew the very simple facts.

Kojima Rick Rolled the world. And it features my favorite voice actor from the entire series - Richard Doyle, the guy I wish would have had the same role in MGS5.

Massive Spoilers for the uninitiated

This will never happen. Because you know....Konami

PapaBop2687d ago

Wouldn't it? I don't see Konami making a new MGS game any time soon, if they decided they want another slice of the console market, they'd be far better off taking the safer option and remaking the old MGS games and they have spent a fair bit of money on the fox engine, would be a waste to see it not used.

Timesplitter142687d ago (Edited 2687d ago )

Konami ARE making a new MGS right now. It looks like garbage, but it is a new MGS

_-EDMIX-_2687d ago

We might be more likely for something like that as opposed to a new game.

rezzah2685d ago

Even if it does happen I won't touch it because it's Konami.

hirobrotagonist2687d ago (Edited 2687d ago )

well, that's just like...you know...your opinion man.

And it's wrong.

gninja92, Please educate me more with your seventh grade education on how opinions can't be wrong like I don't already know that since I was quite obviously being facetious; oh great professor of logic. Especially considering I'm almost a decade older than you based on your username. I feel like an asshole for even having to take the time to explain this.

"An opinion is not wrong. right and wrong only apply to facts. not opinions." What about an opinion based purely on lack of empirical reasoning? What about an opinion based on incorrect facts? Sure you can say, "I didn't like Snake Eater" but to say it's a bad game based on criteria that would make a game good, this is wrong. Saying something isn't good isn't purely an opinion. It's an opinion with incorrect assumptions of certain facts.

"Get over it, not everyone dick rides Snake eater. "

I guess that's how Snake Eater is different from your mom. Though she does have the same nickname (Snake Eater)

sullynathan2687d ago

I am actually right. This game isn't good.

gninja922687d ago (Edited 2687d ago )

An opinion is not wrong. right and wrong only apply to facts. not opinions.

You are wrong however for claiming that his opinion can be wrong in the first place.

Get over it, not everyone dick rides Snake eater.
i liked it too, in fact i probably logged more hours over the years in snake eater than any other mgs, but i still liked sons of liberty the most

TheOptimist2687d ago

Wow first time I agree with you lol

sullynathan2687d ago (Edited 2687d ago )

aren't hipsters the one that actually think Metal Gear has good writing, story and design?

Lynx02072686d ago

Today people don't understand what does "hipster" really mean.

G20WLY2686d ago

Of course you have...

Newmanator2687d ago

Google "MGS3 Review Scores." You will see the error of your ways dear child

sullynathan2686d ago

Taking reviews seriously?

Newmanator2686d ago

When the scores are unanimous, yes I do take them seriously Mr Sullynathan :)

You were probably to young to have played it.
