OnlySP: Space. For some, it is the final frontier. For others, it’s cold and terrifying and very very lonely. For Teotl Studios – the developers behind The Ball and Unmechanical – space is the backdrop for their upcoming survival exploration game Solus. We recently talked with the creator and driving force of Solus, Sjoerd De Jong, at Teotl about life and death a long way from home.
OnlySP: It's been a long time since we've heard anything new regarding Solus, the Unreal Engine 4 survival game taking place on an alien world.
During the Swedish Game Awards, Sjoerd “Hourences” De Jong described the development of his new UE4-powered game, Solus, using Unreal Engine 4′s Blueprint visual scripting system.
OnlySP: Following our exclusive interview with Teotl Studios yesterday, we were sent the very first gameplay screenshot for Solus.
@TRD4L1fe,
"So I bet you can make a better engine?"
A good engine is an 'enabler' - it affords designers and content creators a better chance of bringing about their vision of game where a different engine may be too much of a hindrance. Now, whether those "creators" or that "vision" of a game will make the most out of the engine tech is something else entirely.
Someone slating a game's visuals doesn't have to mean they're slating the engine.
Kinda hard to tell on a single screenshot because it does not show much but vegetation seems alot better then titanfall,infamous, killzone and many "next gen" games.
@TRD4L1fe
You don't have to be the world's greatest guitarist to know Miley Cyrus sucks.
That being said, I don't agree that this looks awful. It's just not a UE4 showcase.
TRD4L1fe I didn't say I could >.> Unreal Engine 4 is amazing it;s just this dev obviously don't know how to properly use it from the screenshot cause that looks bad.. don't get all butthurt.
Wow this looks shit.... Sure hope some gameplay (vid) can do this engine justice..
I tell ya, i was playing CRYSIS3 earlier.
Still destroys 95% of games graphically.

Sure the polygon count and dx11 features are better in crysis 3,but the maps and amount of plants on screen where just overwhelming in the original crysis compared to the 3rd one.
Crysis 1 does look excellent, but area's of crysis 3 are just so much better.
Crysis1 is just foliage more then anything.
As for other games, BF3,BF4 with big maps.
