Ice_Man_120	Hi all, Does anyone know to a 3rd person engine such as assassin's creed with the same fighting style. I am trying to start to make a game rather than a mod. Will be complete with a full campaign and possibly a multiplayer. It is set in the medieval period so you are fighting with swords and axes, etc. so a 1st person game isn't an option. Please help. Thanks in advance Edited by: Ice_Man_120

Flash112	If you want some fancy graphics you should go for the UDK also there is this new Cryengine 3 , even tough UDK is more optimized for FPS games third-person is also possible (thats what im doing/ learning now) -- Think It. Sketch It. Create It. Repeat.

Joe_Shmoe working on something =P	Any engine can be used for 3rd person games, in fact it can be used for almost any genre too, even if it is geared towards any specific genre. It just all depends on the content you create and what you put into it. Perhaps it would be more beneficial if you do a little more research by playing some mods, and also maybe get involved with modding to get a better idea of what any particular engine can do before you jump into making a game.

There is no difference between a third and first person game from a technical perspective. Edited by: ambershee

Thats atleast what ive heard, that UDK is more optimized for FPS, but im glad you prove me wrong... yeah, and if i think about it, techicaly there is no difference, only the camera placement.. -- Think It.
