It's over

>>712628424 (OP)
We need developers to fight the Unreal menace

yes anon I'm sure this will magically result in quality games
as we all know, engines were definitely the reason modern games are shit and no bad videogames existed before unreal

>>712628836
Unreal has made a bad problem worse.

the best game of the century according to you tards is expedition 33

It's so fucking over.

that was grim because Tekken, SoulCalibur, Ace Combat, Ridge Racer 7 and others each one used its own in-house engines that often received upgrades....until the PS4 release and the UE slop fest.

All excuses to hire Ubisoft leftists and virtue signal for ESG points fucking fags.

>>712628424 (OP)
They still couldn't keep the metroid prime 4 license and had it stripped away from them

>>712628604
You can say anything you want about quality of Ubislop and Squares games but their tech is top notch. Dunia,Snowdrop,Anvil and other Ubi engines are really good same with Squares internal engines.

You people are fucking retarded.
He worked for Ubisoft until 2006, when they were actually fucking good.
He also worked on Fox Engine

The dude worked on the tech side for Splinter Cell, Hitman and MGS.

At least studios are moving away from UE, which is good.

I don't know how to take this, is good or bad ?

>>712628424 (OP)
do they have issues with UE or what happens to make a new engine? i doubt its good cause it got ubisoft and square niggers that made infamous inhouse engines

>>712634037

He didn't work in Ubisoft for almost 20 years.
He didn't even work on Luminous, but took part in IOI's Glacier engine and Crystal Dynamics' engine, as both of them were under Square Enix, only after they acquired Eidos.
And then he worked on Fox Engine.

Fuck Bandai Namco

>>712628424 (OP)
HOW ABOUT OPENING A FUCKING FACTORY IN THE US?

Based as fuck.
Hated how Tekken 7/8 looks, past Tekken games were always crisp.
On top of that, when it comes to in-house engines, the publisher could always update the engine however they want.
There is a reason why Capcom (regardless of how you feel about their games) have been outputting games left and right, and there is no stopping.

>>712628424 (OP)
man I remember back in the day when you could look at the logo's on a game's box to determine whether it was gonna be free of glitches and defects
nowadays you have to look at the list of credits and autistically research the people who worked on it to see if it's worth playing. it makes me so sad, and annoyed

>>712632349
Nevermind Bandai Namco Online going bankrupt and how every game they shutdown get reverse engineered by the community poking holes in the games like Swiss cheese.
Gundam Evolution had a private server only 4 months post end of service (which was 16 months after launch)

>>712634037
They don't know how to use UE. Every game they released on it had a million vulnerabilities. They made stupid shit client side authority in multiplayer games, didn't bother with any sort of real anti cheat measures, and would do laughable shit like accidentally bundling the server code into the game client.

Bro wants $50 HG kits.

its the Fox-Engine guy did you think japs were able to create such beautiful engine that works 300fps on every console lol keep dreaming it was white mans invention

>>712638537
>past Tekken games were always crisp
on your emulator maybe, retard kun

>>712628424 (OP)
Extremely based, death to unreal.

>>712637996
how about you go fuck yourself? sincerely, the 1st world.

>>712628424 (OP)
As long as it doesn't affect Ace Combat 8 development I don't care.
I care if it does.

>>712633453
>He also worked on Fox Engine
mite b cool

>>712628424 (OP)

This just explains why there hasn't been a Tales game for six years. Namco can't do fucking anything consistently these days.

>>712638537

What the hell happened to character models in this series? They're crazy how all over the place they are.

Very hard to make out but from the screens but looks like game code uses C#, probably IL2CPP like RE and Unity
Mite b good for modding if someone smart enough gets into it

>>712643531

checked the comment like 6 times before posting and didn't catch that, feel free to reply with ESL

>implying that Americans want to work minimum wage factory jobs just to pull plastic
Because it's expensive, impractical and fucking retarded?

>>712630167
>the best game of the century according to you tards is expedition 33
we said that ironically

>>712639140
Wouldn't it be cheaper?

>>712628424 (OP)
just bring back Reiko Nagase and RR4
also Ace Combat Infinity without the f2p bs and update it with with moar planes

>>712643531
it looks like visual studio as well, not vscode, so that limits what it could be a lot less as well
c# for game code seems like a reasonable guess (and is not a bad choice)
