Never said it did, was just revealing another tid bit about rapid packed math ... |
That's what I just did. Haha
In all honesty though. The performance gains can be as little as 20%.
Which might not be worth the trouble for developers if 70% of PC's don't use packed math anyway yet.
| fatslob-:O said: Yeah but I don't ever remember Unreal Engine being mainstream as it is now than back then ... (UE1&2 didn't get much traction with 6th gen consoles and UE3 went big with 7th gen consoles and UE4 is almost as big with 8th gen consoles.) |
It was popular... More-so on the Original Xbox for obvious reasons.
But I doubt any game engine will end up as popular as Unreal Engine 3 ever again.
It was the right engine at the right time while everyone was scrambling to make the big tech jump.
| fatslob-:O said: I'm also glad EA went with Frostbite and hopefully the rest of Bethesda uses id Tech 6 even for their Elder Scrolls and Fallout games! (Although console engines suffer a lot with their content production pipeline efficiency since their more restrictive for the fact that they have higher performance.) |
Indeed. And Frostbite was actually very forward thinking as well. Although parts of the engine are starting to show it's age now.
I doubt Bethesda will use iD Tech 6 for Elder Scrolls or Fallout, those games tend to rely on a ton of scripts, something that iD Tech isn't the most proficient at.
Rather they will probably just keep rehashing NetImmerse like they have for the past decade and a half.
Although, I think the end goal for most publishers is to eventually have "one engine to rule them all".
| fatslob-:O said: Tons of japanese developers did not use UE3! Creating their own engine was still within the complexity of what they could handle before going into the 8th gen. Most japanese developers couldn't bother using UE3 cause the documentation lacked a lot in japanese |
More Japanese developers did adopt Unreal Engine than ever before last generation though.
MagnaCarter 2, The Last Remnant, Lost Odyssey, Asuras Wrath, Darkengard 3, Alliance of Valiant Arms, Crimson Dragon for example.
