and ports over to consoles

2019-02-14 06:08:23 UTC  

Probably

2019-02-14 06:08:32 UTC  

Cryengine is great

2019-02-14 06:08:36 UTC  

but the netcode is absolute shite

2019-02-14 06:08:41 UTC  

IIRC CryEngine is like fucking impossible to fully learn, let alone master

2019-02-14 06:09:07 UTC  

it's why RSI had to switch star citizen over from cryengine to amazon's heavily souped up version of cryengine for star citizen

2019-02-14 06:09:24 UTC  

because the netcode just couldn't support a persistant universe

2019-02-14 06:09:28 UTC  

Yeah

2019-02-14 06:09:32 UTC  

plus patching was a nightmare

2019-02-14 06:09:35 UTC  

It's really meant for single-player games

2019-02-14 06:09:39 UTC  

cryengine only supports micropatches

2019-02-14 06:09:45 UTC  

if you wanna add more content

2019-02-14 06:09:46 UTC  

And it's REALLY FUCKING GOOD at single player stuff

2019-02-14 06:09:53 UTC  

lmao you have to redownload the entire game

2019-02-14 06:10:02 UTC  

which is another reason why RSI did the switch

2019-02-14 06:10:09 UTC  

SC's patches are actually

2019-02-14 06:10:10 UTC  

patches

2019-02-14 06:10:17 UTC  

Yeah I dunno why the fuck they even started with CryEngine for SC

2019-02-14 06:10:20 UTC  

instead of the entire game reworked

2019-02-14 06:10:37 UTC  

Like that seems absolutely rarted

2019-02-14 06:10:37 UTC  

recompiled I should say

2019-02-14 06:10:40 UTC  

it was

2019-02-14 06:10:42 UTC  

it really was

2019-02-14 06:11:06 UTC  

Lumberyard

2019-02-14 06:11:07 UTC  

the reason that chris chose cryengine was cause it was pretty

2019-02-14 06:11:10 UTC  

That's the Amazon engine

2019-02-14 06:11:15 UTC  

yeah that's the name of the engine

2019-02-14 06:11:29 UTC  

it's essentially a heavily modified and upgraded version of cryengine 3(?)

2019-02-14 06:11:34 UTC  

Amazon is starting to resemble Google

2019-02-14 06:11:43 UTC  

>starting

2019-02-14 06:12:02 UTC  

they both compete for datacenter customers

2019-02-14 06:12:02 UTC  

In the "this is a neat idea that literally no one wants" category

2019-02-14 06:12:19 UTC  

they're both content providers now

2019-02-14 06:12:22 UTC  

Aws has so many abandoned ideas

2019-02-14 06:12:30 UTC  

Can we just talk about an absolute unsung hero og engines

2019-02-14 06:12:37 UTC  

quake?

2019-02-14 06:12:40 UTC  

Doom?

2019-02-14 06:12:41 UTC  

Frostbite.

2019-02-14 06:12:46 UTC  

>frostbite

2019-02-14 06:12:47 UTC
