Johnpp Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 What's you're favorite Game Engine? I know it's really old, slow, blocky, everything bad, but I like the Q3 Engine. Edit: Oh... Almost forgot, I love the Halo engine.
Carlo El Sanchez Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 Ummm im not sure if i understand what you mean exactly by game engine, but ill say the Halo engine. i like how its really easy to use weapons and to bash and stuff. I also love the Oblivion engine, FP and Third Person views.
Det. Bart Lasiter Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 In terms of capability I'd have to say either Source or Jupiter EX.
Johnpp Posted January 13, 2007 Author Posted January 13, 2007 Also, I forgot to mention, you gotta say why you like it. Favorite game engine's: Q3 engine Bungie's Halo engine Reason: I like Q3 engine for modding reasons, and I like Halo engine for fun playing.
VaderChick Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 My favorite game engine would have to be X-Box...waiit...?
Johnpp Posted January 13, 2007 Author Posted January 13, 2007 Ummm... By game engine we mean, uhhh, A way to describe it! EX: Quake 3 engine is a game engine, the original engine was for Quake 3, but then Star wars jedi academy used the same engine, but tweaked it slightly to make it more star wars like. A lot of other games have used the Q3 engine, but to be honest, the Q3 engine really is not the best 3d engine out there, infact I only like it becuase of editing reasons, not playing reasons.
VaderChick Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 Ohh, so its like how you once got LOTR on JKA...am I right? Oh well, goes to show what I know!!
Johnpp Posted January 13, 2007 Author Posted January 13, 2007 Well, I know people working on a LOTR mod, but it aint' dont yet.
Carlo El Sanchez Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 It's obvious why Halo's engine is so good, but i forget to mention more reasons on why Oblivion's is...the graphics are the best graphics on any game so far and i like the FP and Third Person views....but the most of all, its the night and day times and how you can wait and skip these times...not to mention travelling by selecting an area or city on the Cyrodill map.
Johnpp Posted January 13, 2007 Author Posted January 13, 2007 Yeah, I heard the Oblivion engine is really good. And that night/day system I am guassing would have been hard to code aswell.
Sabretooth Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 The Unreal Engine 3.0. It's cool, it's cutting-edge, it's innovative and finally, it's very versatile. Gears of War proved that. +250 cool points to Vaderrocks for most original discussion thread in months. The Unreal Engines are not only cool, they're extremely adaptable. Republic Commando very closely emulated Halo, there was a successful RTS mod for UT2004, Deus Ex and Deus Ex: Invisible War were famed RPGs set in the Unreal Engine, Undying is, IMO the scariest game ever (Unreal Engine, again!) and so forth.
Ctrl Alt Del Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 Odyssey, from Kotor! And then, the Unreal is quite good, as well as the Havok, that's being used in a series of game
Johnpp Posted January 16, 2007 Author Posted January 16, 2007 +250 cool points to Vaderrocks for most original discussion thread in months. Huh? What are points? And yeah, Unreal's engine was cool.
Darkkender Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 I'm very much a fan of the Odyssey engine used by KOTOR 1 & 2 if I could findout who to contact about it I would license the engine to start my career in game development upon. The reasons I like it is because it is because of the easy modability which means it is also easy for those who are not programmers to make content for the game. Also from what I can tell one of the core mechanics is of course the D20 system. The 3D engine itself while possibly not as advanced as others is also a good starting platform. Also the Odyssey engine seems to support a style of Realtime combat that I favor which is a Realtime/Turnbased combo while argued at another forum as Realtime with pause the Kotor games actually possess the best of both Realtime and turnbased from my own observation of the game. However just a note on game engines everybody. A game engine itself is not what defines perspective inside the game. Infact a good example would be the Gamebryo engine which is the Game Engine Oblivion is built upon. This same game engine is used by Civilization 4. Oblivion is a FPP while Civ 4 is an Isometric viewpoint. Also you will note Pblivion is Realtime while Civ 4 is turnbased.
Boba Rhett Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 I gotta go with the Sith engine! * * = Bonus point to whomever gets the vague MOTS reference.

Gears of War is a discrace to gaming and balanced gameplay. Did Oblivion run off the unreal engine or a custom engine? EDIT: nvm Oblivion runs off Gambryo
stingerhs Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 CryEngine 2 ftw!!! the engine used in Crysis
Darkkender Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 Gears of War is a discrace to gaming and balanced gameplay. However even if the game is considered by you to be a disgrace to gaming and balance this is not a statement on the 3D engine that powers the game. This is mearly a inability by the developer to provide an implementation that you as a game player are satisfied with. However from demo's of gears of war that I've played at game stores I find it hard to call it a disgrace or even to imply shoddy quality.
Samnmax221 Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 I'm going to be a bastard and say SCUMM. Although if we're talking modern I'd say Source.
Johnpp Posted February 13, 2007 Author Posted February 13, 2007 SCUMM is the engine Monkey Island uses, right? I could not be bothered to click on the link seeing as my internet is going really slow now.
MrWally Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 Source all the way. Definitely one of the most innovative engines for it's time, if you ask me. And after that I'd probably say the Quake 3 engine, because of all the great games that spawned off of it.
RoxStar Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 Source trumps at the moment. Unreal 2, Quake 3. In that order.
Johnpp Posted February 14, 2007 Author Posted February 14, 2007 I don't know why I did not make this a poll! Quake 3, three. Source, three Oblivion Engine, 2 If I forgot any just post a new list, I am too lazy to make A longer one...
MrWally Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 While Oblivion is a great game, I despise the engine, mainly because my computer with a 6600GT will sometimes stutter on medium/high settings, while my friends's computer with the exact same specs as mine, but a 6800 plays it flawlessly on highest.
