What is possible with UE3.0?

[[5.SS]Strother]

What is possible with the new engine, and are the RO devs working on it already? I heard there is some sort of thing where each particle has a mind of its own so to speak.


Is it possible to have animals in maps for UE3.0 RO, I think that would really fill the gap of the emptiness some people talk about, I think seeing a stag off in the distance on Kaukasus would be cool, and maybe see a a cow in a field, or see the actual pigeons in the barns. The pigeons could even fly out of the barn which could alert the enemy !


I think with the particle thing it would be possible to make realistic flamethrowers too! O man, I can't wait.

Yeah it's going to be a nice engine

dynamic physics and environmental effects that's for sure. More players, bigger maps, and you can finally destroy that goddamn fence~!

A whole ****ing lot. Like so much you cant even think about it without writing down a full outline.

I like how the clouds will move and cast shadows.

You can actually do some nifty effects in UT2.5 that simulates that pretty well.

j/k

 

[DirtyRat]

wow that looks awesome! Cant wait to see some games using that engine

 

[mand0lesi]

I am impressed. Does anyone know what the future of the source engine will be just for comparison?

The water isn't pixelshaded anymore, but now handled by the NovodeX physics engine.

So if you've got a really really good CPU or PhysX PPU, the physics engine will handle the water rippling, etc.
Instead of pixelshaders, so basically your shader-pipelines on your GPU won't be as stressed anymore!

Now it's possible to have Red Orchestra created in such way you can't get to a fast moving tank which just got in water because the waves are pushing you as a soldier back!

*squeals like a little girl with excitement and anticipation*

 

[EvilHobo]

I absolutely can't wait to see a rendition of Red Orchestra on Unreal 3.0; even though it'll probably take a few years before we actually see it.

They will probably charge us for a new version of the game

But what I'm waiting for, is America's Army on Unreal 3.0

Uhm, Yeah?
You don't think UE3.0 will come in a patch do you? RO is going to use this engine for the next game (which I haven't heard anything about, but I'm sure it will happen). You build a game around the engine, not the other way around, you can't just change the engine or such so obviously this will be a stand-alone project that they will sell just like any other game

You've obviously no idea of the man hours involved it'd be like you working in a job for one or two years and then turning around to your boss and going there's no need to pay me, the devs have to live and pay bills too you know.

 

[[5.SS]Strother]

I'm wondering if they are working on the new version of RO already...I mean UT2007 will come out "soon" so I would figure the new RO would be too.

To quote the VP: "it'll take millions to create a UE3 version of RO" so, no it won't be available as a patch

Look at this shot and tell me how sweet an RO level would look
