New Graphics Engine?
#66941 - 07/10/08 10:03 AM

I remember there was a rumour about this some time ago, but I can't find anything with Search. Any sage words from the elite?

It's definitely coming, that's all I know. I, too, would love some information on it...

I am hardly "733t" but rumor has it if I remember correctly that it was going to use the Unreal 3 Engine.

It's not Unreal. Some hints would be nice, though, since it's been a while.

Well, I'd imagine that the Unreal 3 engine wouldn't be cost efficient for an mmo of this business model. I believe that the license charges PER title released.

On that note, I do hope that they stray away from anything Ageia oriented. It would kill the populace quicker than a bullet to the brain.

I, for one, am ok with the current graphics. That's part of the immersive humor, in my opinion.

I like the graphical style and don't want it to change (I think it's appropriate to the game), but I would appreciate more current graphics technology like shader models, shadows, etc..

Agreed. Style is perfect for the game... some anti-aliasing would be nice though

We do anti-aliasing. Check your graphics options...

Whoooooops...!

My gaming system is right now with its manufacturer, undergoing massive surgery of vital organs, and as a result, I have a mild separation anxiety that surfaces in odd ways... blocking out the glorious features I'm missing is one of them.

How very embarrassing.

Yeah I'm personally hoping for the same graphical style with just a few more bells and whistles. But I can't imagine the devs would want to move too far from the current style, anyway.

Upon better reading comprehension, I'm pretty much in agreement with Ripper.
