eh…………
it isnt cheaper and it looks like the same generic artistic style if you cant change that its worthless
yea Unreal engine is known for it’s dark shadowy graphics with shinning texture reflections.
But a good developer with good lead artist and art director can change their art style for their own game.
DC Online Universe and Sonic Next Gen (Sonic The Hedgehog 2006) both uses Unreal Engine and their graphics doesn’t even look like an Unreal engine style.
so with Unreal Engine 4 can still look different depending on art lead and director
didnt happen this gen
Mirror’s Edge sure looked generic
oh wait
XD
yeah it does and terrible
There will be no more unreal script in UE4, only C++, Top features include New Kismet and GPU particles !
any clues as to a release date for the developer’s kit?
sadly no, however there will be a full reveal of the engine on gttv i believe.
