Kojima Shares New Fox Engine Screens, New Screens Highlight Facial Technology

Fox Engine is a new multiplatform development tool that Kojima Productions is crafting in-house. Development of the engine began after the team finished their development on Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and is designed to allow the team to create multiplatform with far more ease.

Super shiny.

I remember that the Unreal Engine use to be shiny too but developers learned how to minimize the shiny oily look.

MintBerryCrunch4628d ago (Edited 4628d ago )

well if anyone can optimize the new engine and get the most out of it then it must be Kojima himself

i wonder which game he will be making with the new engine and if the rest of Konami will use it for their other IPs like ProEvo and so on

ABizzel14628d ago

Some people just have oily skin......

PirateThom4628d ago

Yeah... what's up with that? MGS4 never looked that shiny, why the change to mega shiny for the new engine?

Dacapn4628d ago

Hopefully, it's for the shiny exterior of the newest orbital frame I will be piloting in ZOE3...?

ATi_Elite4628d ago

Here we go again with the Plastic covered Play-Doh!!

nirwanda4628d ago

Looks shiny like in front of a light source instead of that plastic/rubber shiny from UE3.
One thing that makes this engine superior to UE3 is that skin looks like skin.

Kurylo3d4618d ago

u think that looks like skin? I think your just blinded by the fact that hit has kojimas name on it. Im sorry, but kojima productions flat out sucks at making game engines. Great games, with compelling stories... but lets not pretend that he and his studio is even in the same league as epic, crytek, or ID software.

qwertyz4628d ago (Edited 4628d ago )

low resolution textures, low polygon count, NO sub surface scattering, NO tessellation with displacement mapping, very proper SSAO and crappy bump mapping are all OBVIOUS fails of the fox engine lol the skin looks plastic. consoles FAIL. kojima is limited by your crappy consoles....the entire game industry is its not just him. PC FTW!!

yewles14628d ago

It looks bad even for consoles. Lack of observance FTL!

kamakaz3md4628d ago

and yet the PC dont have any exclusives to show off that so called amazing power that stands over us console players... only thing that looks amazing is crysis 2 and thats a multiplatform. Doesnt make any sense... ohh wait it does, cause no1 cares about PC. Id feel like an idiot if i were a PC fanboy... good luck playing madden, eventhough u will knock that game cause you think your cool playing call of duty or something.

Letros4628d ago

Lol Madden, still buying that crap? PC is a hardcore competitive platform, SC2, CS:S, DotA 2, Red Orchestra 2 just to name a few, it's definitely not for carebears like yourself.

Kurylo3d4618d ago (Edited 4618d ago )

crysis 1 actually looked better then crysis 2 lol.... u can count crysis 1 as an exclusive :P. But to be honest every game looks better on pc. It just does.. it has the raw power to up resolutions.. handle more textures... utilize more shaders... utilize more complicated shaders... and take advantage of new advances in technology like dx11.

I mean clearly ur spewing hatred cause your just a hater. Haters gotta hate. There are just way more games all together to buy on a pc. Dont get me wrong, consoles have some good exclusives.. (which i own lol) , but none of that compares to the amount of stuff you get with pc gaming. Hell i still use my 360 controller on pc for some titles. All the mods out there that turn games into totally different new games... see half life 2 modding lol...

Soldierone4628d ago

I wonder if its meant to be like that? I don't see how Kojima would allow something like that to happen. Maybe with an actual texture on it, it will look a bit different? I mean everything but his forehead looks pretty good in terms of modeling.

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

Ninjamonkey821372d 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.

vivid831372d ago

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

RaidenBlack1372d 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_Z1372d 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…

affrogamer2681d ago

good lawd!! I still pray for that day!

mikeslemonade2681d ago (Edited 2681d 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.

I3loggs242681d ago

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

Gitgud2680d 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.

bouzebbal2680d ago (Edited 2680d 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*

2pacalypsenow2680d ago (Edited 2680d 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?

morganfell2680d ago (Edited 2680d 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

PapaBop2681d 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.

Timesplitter142681d ago (Edited 2681d ago )

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

_-EDMIX-_2681d ago

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

rezzah2679d ago

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

hirobrotagonist2681d ago (Edited 2681d 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)

sullynathan2681d ago

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

gninja922681d ago (Edited 2681d 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

TheOptimist2681d ago

Wow first time I agree with you lol

sullynathan2681d ago (Edited 2681d ago )

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

Lynx02072680d ago

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

G20WLY2681d ago

Of course you have...

Newmanator2681d ago

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

sullynathan2680d ago

Taking reviews seriously?

Newmanator2680d ago

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

You were probably to young to have played it.
