Red Orchestra on Unreal Engine3 ?

[Kettenhund88]

Hello volks,


is there any plans to make red orchestra on the Unreal Engine3? If any one knows about that, please wrote here, thank you!

The devs have got the license i think to do what they want with it , so who know what they will do, we will just have to wait, but i think they will be concetrating on the current release with patches and bug fixes and content updates, so it will be best just to sit tight.

Hi, first post.. ever

Anyway.. The devs have the licence for Unreal 2.5 engine.. basically UT04. Unreal 3.0 however is a new thing that they would have to buy and I seriously doubt they have that much money Better they make a mod out of it once UT07 is released.

Nope, thy own the UE3 licenses. So they can make a game on thta, allthough i think that developement on the engine itself is much more expensive, as much more detail is needed, etc.

if the devs got license for Unreal Engine 3 why did they made red orchestra on Unreal 2.5 Engine not on Unreal Engine 3

Because they didnt want to wait the 2-5+ years it would have took to totally reprogram RO from scratch on UE 3.0 without a single penny of income the whole time and needing twice as much funding to utilize it and make something. Besides they already know UE 2.x intimately

We got both UE 2.5 and UE 3. Why would we waste the UE 2.5 license? And as wolf pointed out, a project on UE 3 would have cost us much more money, time and resources which we did not have. Many of the devs of RO:O worked months for free. We came close to closing up shop when we picked up the Steam deal.

They've basically self-funded this project. Yes, the engine was "free" (if you count spending working unpaid for 2 years on the mod as "free") but there's so much more required than just the engine. Art assets, code, marketing, etc. - all that comes at a price.

IMHO it's a good decision they made, releasing RO:O to cover their expenses, raise money, and establish a foothold. Now, when it comes time to produce for UE3, they'll have a much better shot of securing distribution and capital since they already have a successfully released game on their corporate resume.

And if you're asking about UE3, then you've likely seen the images and models that UE3 can display. Those assets are lightyears ahead in complexity and technology. Normal maps, higher poly counts, more complex animations, etc. The higher the complexity, the more time consuming the production of these assets. All that comes at a price in terms of time and labor.

yoshiro.. im loveing the game, and a UE3 release is a freaking wet dream. good luck till then. ill have my credit card ready, and ill be an evangelist for the cause. GG

Well, everything you need to develop an Unreal Engine 3.0 game is in that license...

Except for UE3.0 capable computers, PhysX hardware, modelling- animating- skinning- software (which they probably already have) etc...

Well... I'm expecting another game from TW in the next five years. On UE 3 of course. Take your time and don't hassle(hoff) things. BF2 sucks already because of that they released it way too early.

no rush with RO on UE3 ... I love RO as it is... what I often think is - and I would say not only me - that I want game on (almost) whatever engine just to be realy enjoying... and thats RO!! Tripwire created great game. And I realy, realy hope that RO:O makes you enough incomes to make you "happy" and willing to continue working on this game (there are still few thing to improve

 

[Britney Federline]

I don't know how many employees worked on RO:O, but if it was about 15-20, they will need like 200 to do justice to the potential of RO on UE3.

But if RO:O does well enough, they can prove to investors and publishers that they know what they are doing, and then they can get $40 Million in seed money.

Then they can spend 3 years making what they really want to make on UE3: Daikatana 2.

If they hadn't won the UE3 engine license, I would have suggested the use of the offset engine, it looks unbelievable.

Oh, my bad then I didn't know you guys won UE3 aswell? I thought the contest was only for 2.x engine. Well if you ever release a UE3 based RO i will be happy to pay a ful price for it (50$)

TW also has the unique problem that many of its employees are spread over the globe - i bet this makes production a slower process overall.

I hope we see RO on UE3 in the next 3 years though
