Nice and linux support! This is how I imagined source 2.

Spenok4681d ago

Sure it looks good... but it does NOT rival Unreal Engine 4.

FriedGoat4681d ago

Yeah but I bet it doesn't start a game with blurry textures for 20 seconds. The unreal engine is not impressive.

hkgamer4680d ago

Agree, does look good, but that's all it kinda showed, nothing too impressive. That is entirely my opinion. maybe if they slowed it down, we could see the textures, lighting, physics.
I know it is just a tech demo of some sort, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone said that was captured a PS3 game called PAIN.

@friedgoat

how do you know it doesn't start a game with blurry seconds for 20 seconds with this new engine? Plus UE4 isn't even out yet, so what are you trying to say?

Gildarts4676d ago

This looks good but it does not rival Unreal 4 or Cryengine.

I can imagine cartoony like games being made on this engine though

DaThreats4681d ago

Looks very close to a pixar movie

You never see anything close to these tech demos in actual game releases. More fluff than anything.

How does it feel to not be in the sequel to your own franchise? Their virtue signal will cost them sales

Yi-Long268d ago

I think Unity exposed themselves last year, and IMO any developer should just stay away from them completely.

isarai267d ago

Exactly my thoughts, they killed so much interest in their engine since doing that. Godot looks like it's rising to take it's place as the indie darling game engine.

Palitera266d ago (Edited 266d ago )

In its current pace, Godot would need decades to reach Unity's current state. Almost no studios use it. For hobbyists, it's a valid option, though.
Gotta be real about it: Unity was and will continue as the market leader for small studios. There's no competition in this sense.

Palitera266d ago

The thing is: there's nothing even remotely as good as Unity for small studios game development, even if you consider the company's disgraced trust.

So, sure, it's your opinion, but most professionals have not and will not leave Unity.

And Godot is a hobby project in comparison, not even an option.

victorMaje266d ago (Edited 266d ago )

The thing is: this is the kind of comment Unity was getting when it was up and coming.
I remember when I started learning Unity it was looked at with disregard, this is where Godot is now, remember this, in a few years, Godot will get there.

@victorMaje

I hope you realize how ridiculous your comments sounds when you suggest "Waiting for Godot" is an option.

It made me chuckle for a good 20 seconds.

victorMaje265d ago

@plmkoh

Haha I’m not suggesting to wait for it. I’m saying with all the updates (each one better than the previous one) Godot will get where it needs to, to be considered more than just a hobby engine.
In fact it can already do a lot, it’s all about how you approach the problem.

Palitera265d ago

PlayCanvas, Babylon, Defold, Cocos Creator etc.
This generic statement of "it's not as great as Unity YET" could be applied to any other engine (no offense to these mentioned great engines).

The fact is: it is a hobby engine, almost no studio is using it. As much as I'd like to see Unity fall, it's not happening at all. There's simply no competitor.

You might see this type of graphics on ps 15.

I guess it bite them in the ass. Pretty sure it's still too late and those who were burned by it, will not come back.

TheNamelessOne277d ago

Hmm.
They may just remain a company after all. They lost a lot of good faith with all this, however.

Exclusive: Unity Software cutting 25% of staff in ‘company reset’ continuation

Jan 8 (Reuters) - Videogame software provider Unity Software (U.N) will target laying off approximately 25% of its workforce, or 1,800 jobs, the company said in a regulatory filing and internal company memo on Monday.

anast525d ago

They wanted everyone to move to Unreal 5 and GoDot 4.

UltimateOwnage525d ago

What a waste. And despite all of this cut and slash, their polices are doubling down on what led to all of this. They have committed themselves to bring a losing brand going forward. Good riddance. Maybe Microsoft will buy them out, they seem to have a lot in common.
