Forums - Sony - Killzowned Engine to bring in more PS3 Exclusives!

Well actually the KZ engine is not exclusively Killzone 2's engine. Remember when GG said they were getting program help from Resistance 2 team about AI and online, Naughty Dog for mechanics and graphics, as well as GOW team. Technically this is a pure Sony 1st Party baby.

Why are half of the posts from Sony fans complaining about "trolls" instead of replying to the good points which have been made by some posters?

KylieDog....
This would suck, means more games with pretty graphics that actually hinder important things like gameplay.


Guess we can look forward to some more games with technical issues 'weight' affecting gameplay.

WOW, becuase when you make a viable engine it cant be used for other types of games...>_>

Squilliam...
A. That game also had technical issues. This engine is designed a certain way, to make this square peg fit into a round hole requires the developer to re-work it.

B. Those who have a hard time tend to already be in the Xbox 360/PC camp, like for example Valve.
He says this as if things cant' change. Its not like just because they make exclusive 360 games they cant make exclusive PS3 games OH NOZ!!!!
C. Exclusive to the lowest selling platform with the highest development costs, competing with some of the most expensive games in the generation/ever for attention. Does not make sense... Furthermore Dunia is actually an Ubisoft engine btw. The only developers who will use it are either insane or Sony 1st/2nd party.
See MGS4, Valkyria Chronicles, or any of the other 3rd party exclusives for PS3. It happens, regardless of what you think.


D. They will also have to rework the engine, and until they know what art assets they can use at what level of detail they will have to stall development. See also A.

@CGI: If rumours of a Nvidia/Sony departure are correct then the PS4 will have a different architecture. The new architecture may not be as favourable to say deferred rendering. So with games taking 24 months to develop, we won't see more than one generation of games before the high end developers start their next generation efforts.


Jareel Hunter...
Yes, let them have their hope. Just think, if they continue to reuse this engine, the PS3 has a bright future of shiny shooters with no split screen/Coop features! Gives me hope too, because whatever uses this engine has no threat of dethroning the 360's top shooters...

THis just wreaks of Troll. Why has he not been banned yet?

All fairly Troll worth comments.

Sry for neglecting the good posters questions, just got caught up wit hall the Troll BS.

@your question....

There were talks about this a while ago, of GG had actually been trying to make an engine that was versitile and made production of games on PS3 easier. I can't find the articles now and dont care to look for them but, you are welcomed to look.

I also heard talk of it from a gaming industry friend of mine(this one means nothing to you because you dont know him so you might not believe me).

I guess we'll see?? Seems like the only people likely to use the "Killzowned" engine, are high budget developers that don't already have reliable engines to use. That rules out EA and pretty much all the multi-plat titles obviously. I imagine if a developer really wanted to make a great looking game, without spending a fortune, they will likely go the route of the Unreal Engine given it is also a graphical power house, is much more commonly used, costs less, and will be available for multiplat titles.

If they want to make the engine proprietary to the PS3, there will not be many developers using it at all. The money is with multi-platform titles and the Wii/360 right now when it comes to software. Developers that are not first party to Sony would be foolish to use this engine and shut off the larger selling markets.

The URE3 isnt that great. Unreal tournament sucked. As for the money, games like KZ2 sell consoles. The more games like this, the more user base the PS3 gets and the more the dev will make.

 

This is exactly why M$ is hurting our industry though. They release a sub-par console that is capable of very good graphics and keep the developers from pushing there games due to its inefficiencies. With just the PS3 and Wii, the devs would be able to focus on the PS3 and make amazing games. As is stands now, they either need to make there game on the PS3 to the specs they desire and port to 360, leaving content behind or offering DLC or they need to make it on both at the same time and gimp the PS3 version once they reach there limits on the 360. Exclusive is where its at on the PS3 right now. We are a lot pickier when it comes to our game purchases because we are probably an older crowd. It seems to me that the 360 and Wii have a ton of shovel ware that gets eaten up. Not so on the PS3 front.

Hmmm.......the J man wonders what you were saying last gen when the ps2 was the inferior console and was king of shovelware.

While the PS2 had shovelware, it had a healthy supply of great games releasing from both Sony and third parties. Balance is key.

And your saying the 360 doesnt have this balance?

 



N64 is the ONLY console of the fifth generation!!!

@ People who respond without thinking.

Sigh...

@ CGI: I would reconsider your '+1' if I was you.



Tease.

I don't know why all the Sony lovers are thinking there is anything unfair about squallium's posts. What he has said is simple business sense. the ps3 is the last place console. Why would developers use a new engine to make an exclusive game for the last place system, especially when they are having financial issues due to this generation and HD costs already? They already have engines (and they are not as shiny as this one, you are right) and using the more graphically intensive one would make asset costs skyrocket even further.

 

And lastly, why were you guys not complaining that the ps2 was holding the industry back last generation when both the gamecube and xbox had better hardware? The spew about how the 360 is holding the industry back smacks of hypocrasy. At least be consitant before you start making non answers to the "trolls". It's not our fault you try and justify ps3 exclusives with no logic and only fanboy hope and then ignore every argument as "troll" and "jealousy".
