Game Engines As Fast As Possible 

+Oğuz Can Oğuz i believe he was talking about left 4 dead 3 or black ops 3 or starcraft 3 or test drive unlimited 3 or just cause 3 or crackdown 3 or supreme commander 3 or mafia 3, well you get the idea. Yes i knew what you meant :P

Half life 2.5??? Or maybe half life 3.

+CatheteriZedEYE He was talking about Valve specifically.

+Bob I know. Source 3

+Amir Ali Is it so hard to see I wasn't replying to you? :D

Your explanation is far better than linus's which is filled with far too many analogies. I cant stand flowery analogies when it comes to explaining very scientific concepts :|

well thanks, glad it brought clarity.

it is also superficial and less informative, but hey to each its own

I don't like to read

Val Cronin I personally like analogies as they help me visualise what’s happening and get a better faster idea of the concept

i am glad Bethesda uses the creation engine. it makes us able to build mods easily.

Ben diesel engine from payday

I was gonna mention Diesel engine from payday but I saw someone in the reply who already mentioned it. ridiculous engine.

Holy shit your profile picture makes me want to punch something

Why? I actually think that Payday 2 got released in 2013 and still looks pretty good in 2018. I really like the shadows and lights of the game too. It also runs very smooth on my PC. Also completely versatile since it works on Windows, PS3/4, Xbox 360/One, Linux and even Switch.

+Antonio TF Linus generally knows quite a lot of it, however, some of his employees are hired to take this information and script it, so that it can be made into a Techquickie video!

+Tengu Siv who said it was learned from google?

***** no but you implied it

+Tengu Siv You stated the obvious. No shit he has to learn it and when you say that in this context it appears you are trying to defend him for Googling it.

Sometimes jumping really works for a game, sometimes it's thrown in because developers think it will be familiar enough to turn out OK even if it's poorly adapted.

Jumping is most closely tied to platformers hence why non-platforming games have no jump ability as it helps to differentiate the game.

+Dr.RubberFace KINGDOM HEARTS 3 CON- wait..

+Dr.RubberFace Mmmm, close... IMHO, Linus was talking about HL2 Episode 3.

+Deathlok67 Nah he was referring to Half-Life 3. Sorry bud

+Dean Calaway I think they will make it HL3 when VR is rolled out and the waters tested.

Dean Calaway You mean...Worth the wait?

Lamerak yes

Dank, memes.

See all

+Ankit Sharma I built both of my PC's, and I'm studying for a Genetics MSc. Is that close enough...?

Christ J it's close...i suppose..idk

+Christ J :p Ya know it's not near close enough for any real application lol Oh and I think the proper degree in this instance would be one in applied physics and not particular one in theoretical physics. Though to get one in the latter you'll need to learn of the former.

Greyghostvol1 well, the people who run Folding@Home have similar qualifications to me, so there is some relevance to my course. In fact, protein folding is based on quantum electrodynamic interactions, which - due to its root in quantum mechanics - would fall under theoretical physics. Also, you don't need a degree in applied physics to enrol in one on theoretical physics. You just need a decent level-3 qualification in general physics to enrol in either. It would certainly help, but it wouldn't be essential.

+Ankit Sharma I have a theoretical degree is theoretical physics

+Citizen Z Haha thought i was the only one ;)

+Citizen Z OMG IT'S HEI!

I don't see anything

+bul188 Nope. He hired more editors a few months ago, and its a crap shoot on how the video is edited. If you go look at the super-fun channel, there is a very obvious change that happens at the same time they announced a new editor. Its gotten better, but its still not great. TBH, I'm pretty sure it's that Taiwan guy who cant speak English. I'm hoping its just taking a while for the new editors to figure out how to edit videos so they are funny without being stupid. The low point when they put a gunshot noise in a video with a rubber band gun. Not only once, but every time it shot.

Lower school

Not everybody knows everything like you Mr. Genius. I doubt when they're brainstorming about things to explain they stop and think "but dude, that bul188 dude in the comments already knows this, why would we make a video about it?"

sound effects, but it is not annoying. i think

+SERUMSER CODE I believe he was talking about the second definition of noise, which pertains to image quality, which i would agree. The video quality is just not good with all that pixel noise.

+JayGamesOnPC i don't think it has something to do with yt... i would guess that there was a problem with the camera.. (maybe it ran a bit hot or iso was higher than normal)

+Dustin O'Daffer Linus has been pretty crap lately. The fucking jokes are what made me unsub.

+Dustin O'Daffer I agree

+Dustin O'Daffer except it's the same editors as always just some new. You don't even know who edited this video, could be anyone of them.

+HJOTech Probably... 2:24 lol

+wakojako49 weeelll sort of... C++ has lower level capabilities than neither java or C# has. As far as the game engines you mentioned, they are all pretty good but except from unity, crytek and unreal needs a whole team to work with, not to mention compile times for f*ck sake

+Jokester The Mighty maybe you should do some research because C# compiles on the MONO compiler which goes NATIVE after that. Meaning C# compiles to your precious C++ in unity. Programming in C++ can be useful if you want to waste your time with the syntax. I prefer C# because it's soon going to be 100% native (leaving the java intermediate world) and It enables me as a developer to write things quickly and straight to the point while keeping a clean workflow.

+wakojako49 True, but the different languages/engines can do things more efficiently and with less code that the others. Its situation based really

+wakojako49 A lot of things in the engine also depends on how they're used. There are a countless crappy games made in Unity, while the engine itself is capable of doing really beautiful things. Trust me, I started to develop a 2D engine in D, and I still haven't done anything with it (other than it can render 7000+ sprites on the screen by CPU at 60FPS) as I have to implement everything from sketch. Now I'm working on a map editor and a sample game, then I'll add some effects.

Unity has IL2CPP that's why it compiles to C++, it's not something C# has by default. C++ has lower level capabilities which aren't useful if you aren't going to make an engine yourself. I also prefer C# over C++ definitely, in fact I haven't wrote anything in C++ game related for a couple of years now, no need for it, Unity has everything

+Raymon Bootstrapping

Thanks :)

+Raymon Software is physical, believe it or not. Each one of your computer bits is physically stored on your ram or HDD/SSD/SSHD/whatever else. The first computer was built with software already on it. All the bits for the software were switched on/off accordingly from the get-go. I mean, that still happens today. We're just better at doing it.

Zantoxu Sounds Weird but okay :D

+Raymon in the first computers you could change the bits manually, so really they only had to start from there to make it automated to today's age.

nice

Uhh

Congratulations

It depends but one reason is so people aren't putting CPUs in motherboards that arn't compatible.

Toxicnos Yeah I can imagine that but what really changes in the basic compatibility? Some of the inner structure yeah but what they do from CPU to CPU is mostly just going smaller so they can fit more in them. I'm no specialist on this matter but it would really interest me to know more.

+Miko That wouldn't leave enough room for fundamental architecture change, the other point is that assuming we want enough leeway for future generations, that would lead to wasted space on current chips. Wasted space is wasted money and wasted performance. Plus there is nothing wrong with making sure motherboards are as up to date as the hardware they support. It means device interaction is much more stable and processors can introduce new features that a motherboard must cater for in their spec, this would not be possible with a universal design.

+Miko A new CPU family is out and it only supports DDR4. Would it be compatible on a motherboard with an older chipset that only works with DDR3? Nope! Here comes a new socket to differentiate the designs. It's basically the same reason why RAM slots change.

+Miko because capitalism thats why

+DiaaGames what's wrong with Unreal? Given the two? I'd lean toward Unreal on account of better 64bit support. Unity isn't bad, though. Or Game Maker, if you're aiming for 2D (or are insane and are willing to do all of the 3D work yourself.... like, uh.... me....)

DFX2KX The workflow of unreal forces you to make an fps plus if you want to switch to something like hack n slash you will literally take ages to figure out how to do it or you will end up changing the source code unreal engine makes life harder for programmers easier for artists when you choose between unity and unreal you are actually making your first game decision whether its going to be featuring fantastic gameplay and ok graphics or bad/good duplicate gameplay and fantastic graphics

DiaaGames That's a fair point to make, because Unreal is an FPS engine, but it doesn't force you to do it, so much as it makes it easier to do that type of gameplay. And Unity has the same limitation. It's also much easier to make an FPS game in Unity then other game types. That's because FPS games are pretty straightforward these days. And Unity games can look GOOD (see Naval Action), but they tend to have really bad memory use, for easons that baffle me.

+DFX2KX Well you got everything right except the point that unity got limitation the whole point of using unity is there is no limitation as long as you have the idea you can waste 8 hours max and you will end up with a decent prototype sometimes all you need are minutes to make a prototype in the game industry you can start making a game while you are 20 and finish it while you are 22 that is 2 years of your life wasted on one game and that happens to all of the professionals i believe that this will change if they used unity its a matter of time before developers won't disagree that unity is the best engine on the market you can look at the road map of unity to tell i think it will be 1 to 2 years until that happens if it didn't happen you can come back here in the future and tell me the famous american phrase liar liar ur pants on fire lol :)

DiaaGames The limitations in Unity come from the fact it's not good with memory. It's rendering engine is also less efficient. It might be a little easier to work with as a single programmer or do something creative, but these days? It comes down to graphics. The Naval Action folks are having to do bloody witchcraft to get their game above 20FPS in the over-world, and that's WITH reduced polygons. The ease of use that an IDE has is utterly irrelevant compared to the final product. If Unity starts cranking more polygons and shaders with a better frame-rate then Unreal's offerings at the time, then Unity will be the best engine on the market. People will keep those FPS games, be cause they're pretty. That's really the only requirement. By the standpoint of ease of use? Game Maker wins. Hands down. Take five minutes, buy the slayer 64 plugin, and in two minutes you've got a prototype. It'll look like shit, and nobody will care, but you'll have a game, and you won't even need to know what the code does. Now if you're like me, You use your OWN code to make GM: S 3D stuff, mostly because it's fun making things that look good with such limited software.

No, they are the same game. Just like Portal and CS are the same game because they use the same engine!1!

+CocoaNutCakery Who said they were?

+CocoaNutCakery No. Basicially they are just built in the same way. There's entirely new models, textures, and well, level design - But since it's made in the same engine, lighting, particles and physics are largely the same. The game engine is basically just the tool a developer uses to make all the individual assets work together.

Anston Music Way, way, WAY too many people, both before BFH was released and since then. It's something I still hear.

CocoaNutCakery Ok then, I haven't really gotten into BHF but I do own BF4.

+Azivegu If i told you, you would lose sleep. It is a very real, and very scary thing.

+judgeomega fortunately, that scary thing is just a myth. earwig eats plants and lay eggs in the ground, much like other insects. But of course, if you search "earwig" in google images, it is fucking scary.

***** Shaders are normally "assets". An engine is basically everything about a game that is *not* an "asset". Collision detection and repsonse is not an asset, though collision models are. So, yeah, the simplest way to define what a game engine is, assuming you know what an "asset" is, is that it is everything that is not an "asset".

+antiHUMANDesigns Most engines these days come with stock shaders. Mind, you can replace all of them if you know GLES, of course.

DFX2KX Yes, but they are still assets. Engines can come with assets when you buy/license them. But I agree that in some cases, the shaders are built in to the engine. I know, because I wrote an engine that creates shaders at run-time. But that doesn't mean it's true to say that "shaders are part of the engine", just because they *could* be. Anything *could* be built in to an engine. They will still be assets, whether the engine creates them, or artists do.

antiHUMANDesigns I've always heard it said that an asset is anything not hard-coded directly into the core renderer/sound system of the game, the engine is everything that is. And it would appear that most engines have some shaders hard-coded into them. and a basic sound system hard coded in, as well.

DFX2KX Yes, that is true, but that's because it makes no sense to hard-code the contents of a game into the engine, because then the engine is less useful. That's also why shaders normally aren't hard-coded, because then you can't supply your own shaders. You might get a little bit of performance boost by doing that, but it's hardly worth making the engine useless in the future. So anything that doesn't belong as hard-coded into the engine is going to be assets used for specific games. Things that can change, because it is "content", rather than architecture. A "sound system" is part of the engine, definitely. It is a sub-section of the engine, perhaps even refered to as a "sound engine", or such. The actual *sounds* are not, though. It seems like you're mixing up a "sound system" with a "sound".

UE4 or CryEngine if you want good graphics and performance. However, I know from experience that ue4 is terrible for very dynamic environments(the worst is changing terrain). Unity 5 is better, but apparently unstable. There is no "best" game engine, there is only the best for what game you want to do, and your budget/time(though ue4 and unity recently changed their terms to allow indies to comfortably use them). Sometimes, the best option is to write your own engine.

my game is kid of like crysis 3 so which is the best option ?

I can't tell you what is best for you, you have to research that for yourself. But before you can even wonder what to use, you need to discover what you're good at and what you're willing to learn. Unity is definitely the easiest to learn on, with a very sleek sdk, and it uses c# for scripting.

Cryengine imo

Diesel Engine from the game Payday......jk it's so shit. But I vouch for the CryEngine replies.

Lol

+18T220 Ya sure cryengine 1 is great! You know it was only made it 2006

Giuliano Costa I'm talking about the current version of CryEngine that I use every day.

+18T220 i gues souce-2 will be pretty awesome :)

+TzlGames It's quite good. Dota 2 uses Source 2. It's has very good performance, something I didn't expect at all. Max settings and still getting a steady 120 on my 2 year old PC.

+18T220 So you're telling me a badly optimized, last gen graphics engine is better than Unreal Engine 4? THAT CAN MAKE VIDEO GAMES THAT LOOK EXACTLY LIKE REAL LIFE AND IS SUPER WELL OPTIMIZED!?

+atata9 Depends on the Engine. In a an IDE-based Engine like Game Maker? It's a custom language made just for that engine. (with GLSL for shaders) In an Engine like CryEngine or Unity (or Unreal, as well), it can be a mix of the built in custom language (what your art and level people will use, or what you'll prototype with) and C/C++/some other compilable language (which you'll do the heavy lifting of your game logic with). Some older engines don't even have scripting support, like Doom, Quake 1 and 2, and Genisis3D....

+Eddie Buentello Game engines are lines of code just like any other program. You could write your own slightly crappy engine in a week.

+Tim Stahel (Moustached Viking) Bad ass man, thanks! learn something new everyday..
