"Warthunder stands out from the other free to play games that i have dabbled in, i believe what Gaijen are doing with this is fantastic and i am very eager to see the finished product and how they integrate all three of their vehicular combat mechanics into one smooth game type."
In a new video released by Gaijin Entertainment, people can compare the studio's Dagor Engine, which has been free and open source since last year, with the industry-leading Unreal Engine 5 from Epic Games. The video shows off content from the East District, a part of Gaijin's unannounced game, with the content in the demo being made using both Dagor Engine and Unreal Engine 5. In addition to the video, Gaijin Entertainment has also released the full code of one of Dagor Engine's multiplayer frameworks under a permissive license, along with the art sources of one of the multiplayer samples. Those interested can look at the East District demo on both Dagor Engine and Unreal Engine, depending on your preference.
Looks great. I'm already kinda sick of unreal 5. Most games just have a sort of unnatural look and feel to them. Take Stalker 2 for example. In screens it looks great, but performance sucks, there are tons of pop in and visuals artifacts, and the lighting looks very artificial most times. Like when walking outdoors you can see the transition as it draws light over the environments. It almost makes everything look metallic. Just a weird engine and almost seems like a downgrade in most areas.
And don't get me started on the water in UE5. How does water in games somehow look worse now than in AC IV and other games 10-15 years old? In Stalker 2 the water is always glowing bright white no matter the sky and literally adds and removes reflections and shadows as you move the camera. Looks terrible.
Gaijin Entertainment, developer of military sim War Thunder, has apologized for using a shot of the Challenger explosion in its promotional artwork.
The slimiest profit mongers of all time are Gaijin. Surprised? Not at all. The apology is about a sincere are their standard asking price. Do it for the least amount (no regard for quality) and sell it for the most profit = Gaijin.
Gaijin Entertainment conducted a study and are working to introduce better solutions.
I quit WarThunder few weeks back because of it's heavy pay2win mechanics recently introduced with 1.29 update
at it's code WT is a good game, but run by a greedy russian company that seeks same profits their "brothers" at WarGaming did with WoT
when you screw your customers and make your gamers angry because of the features introduced - not a good way to retain the player base
I am yet to encounter any real noticable Pay2Win mecahins, but as you know all free to play games will have that aspect of pay to win, why else would they have these micro transactions and make the game free to play.
