Snowdrop engine Dev Diary

submitted by ChaosEngine

1 decade 2 months ago

Some incredibly clever technology happening here.

I'm really getting excited to see these big new middleware engines coming on line.

Between this, UE4, Unity5, Cry Engine, Frostbite 2 and possibly Source 2, there's a potential for some awesome experiences.

And what I really like is that this generation of engine seems to be focused on allowing artists to create content rather than just graphical whizbangery.

here's how I see it:

UE4 -- runs well, does well, good for creators
CryEngine -- does well, runs like crap, all-in for visuals.
Frostbite -- does well, runs okay, great in FPS, completely junk in driving games (look up NFS: The Run)
Source 2 -- who knows...
Unity 5 -- can't comment.

About right except UR4 needs massive hardware so unless you have actually made something with it, i really doubt on "runs well" part. Rest of them need about half or even less sheer grunt power. We are just doing our tests how well these perform. I hope Source 2 is not too far behind, before me make our decision which engine to pick. At the moment, it's SnowDrop which is the one we are looking for, then Cry3, Unity5 or UR4. The latter just costs a lot more in inhouse equipment but has what we need.

Moving this video to ChaosEngine's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
