Educational Feature: What is a Game Engine?

If you follow the game industry, you'll hear the term "game engine" thrown around a lot. And one would bet sometimes, late at night when everyone else has gone to sleep, you sit and wonder, "What is this nebulous thing I keep hearing about?"

You would expect that the answer would be as simple as being shown a car's engine: "Yeup, thar she is." After all, the game engine, much like a car's engine, is what makes the game go. Unfortunately, sometimes there's a fuzzy line between where a game's engine ends and where the content of a game begins, as if there were a fuzzy line between whether a car's air conditioner is part of its engine.

green6599d ago

we need more articles like this on N4G.Unfortunately this wont happen

Dacapn6599d ago

Agreed. N4G is just flooded with stupid fanboy articles like GTAIV has 12 more pixels on PS3? :0

That and stupid top ten lists...but I'd even take the lists than to hear PS3 fanboys keep the same damn thing of PS3 superior version. I have a PS3 and love it, but I swear Sony has never sent me money to pay for my bills.

End Rant

BIoodmask6599d ago (Edited 6599d ago )

it was a really good article also. I am trying to post articles like this a lot. Unfortunately, most read news on N4G is just issues about console superiority and/or flamewar.:(

Anyways, I am very interested in game engines, especially the Cryengine. I just bought a new PC and can finally play Crysis. The engine in the game blew me away. I think it is a lot better than UE3. Unfortunately, most developers don't seem to want to license it. Or possibly it is just really expensive.

Skerj6599d ago

Yeah I can't wait to see the Entropia Universe upgrade with the CryEngine, I might actually make some money in that game then.

LJWooly6599d ago

If we had more of this sort of article on this site, we would have far less people who have no idea what they're talking about.

Contributors, try to submit this sort of thing more, maybe we can educate N4G!

EasySMX D05 review

You can get Hall effect controllers slightly cheaper, but you'd struggle to find as feature-rich a package without some heavy, heavy sales.
