Engine Question Thread

What engine would ya say is better performance at large open areas?

Battlefield 1942

or

Battlefield Vietnam

Or maybe Tribes :o

Vice City , but modding can be hard/limiting.

Farcry maybe as well. not sure on that

definantly S.T.A.L.K.E.R. its gonna have HUGE maps, they are gonna be big dead cities

aint out yet :/

Torque, Q3A, and Serious. Quake1 sometimes as well.

quake1 :/...

horrible distance values.. using worldcraft you cant evwen make a map as big as the space given with no objects to block ur view without huge dissapearing.. (even in glbased engines..)

pisses me off..

That's why you use new Quake engines

FarCry is good at huge open area's, just play the demo.

farcry hmmm and ummm farcry!

hmm, he is asking which engine has got the best PERFORMANCE on open areas, not the best looking open areas i wouldn't say far cry on this

Well it definitely ain't Halo

ITS SLOW AND UGLY UGGH!

Farcry is pretty fast for a terrain engine as well as Torque.

yah, farcrys best for big stuff like that. im no mapper, but if you play the demo, its obvious.

Far Cry is efficient in it's use of extreme visual distances, most notably in it's excellent use of LOD ranges. I'd advise it as a great option for large open spaces on a next gen engine.

Quake 3 doesn't like large open spaces as much without fogging

i agree.. id still say farcry even to excuse its wonderful scenarios and gorgeous looks
