Game Engines - Which Game Uses What?

Unscripted writes,

Wouldn't it be cool to know which game engine your favorite game was developed with? I thought so. I decided to break down some of the more popular game engines and list the games that are using the engine for all of you uber geeks out there. Some of the list will include certain toolsets or plugins used for specific things like the physics within a game. (think ragdoll) What may surprise some of you is that more than a few of your favorite games use the same development engine.

I suppose in the world of making video games it's really difficult to design and produce a unique engine for your game so what most developers do is modify an existing engine. There's a lot of sloppy seconds, thirds and fourths going on in the industry it seems. I say this because you'll often find that a game uses variations of multiple engines at times so it's not unlikely to see a game listed twice in the below list of game engines.

Ready to find out which engine your favorite game uses?

awesome. :) thx for submitting the story.

About the picture, I wasn't that impressed with the Euphoria engine, maybe it was a little early in its debut, but it certainly needs more time to mature.

ip-student6577d ago

There are some better articles out there that include more detail (this is a pretty high level review). And I am not sure Havok can be considered its own engine - I thought it was a plug-in (same with Euphoria).

ruibing6577d ago

Yeah this article is very uninformative since it doesn't make any distinctions between graphics engines, motion engines, and game engines (contains everything). It's too simplistic and dumbs down the key features of each.

Xbox is the BEST6577d ago

much about the 360 has only the Unreal Engine.

Tmac6577d ago

Looking at most recent game development I'd consider that true.

DeaconBlade6577d ago (Edited 6577d ago )

it really wasn't meant to be an in depth look into classifications and distinctions etc :) i just wanted to write a quick article on some popular engines being used to develop today's games.

but because of the interest it has generated, i'll revisit it at some point to write something a bit deeper and more in depth to look at the different rendering, physics engines etc.

like i posted in the comments on the article, i appreciate you guys' feedback and if anyone is up for helping me to write a more broken down piece in the future, go ahead and email me :) i'd love the help to write something more in depth.

again, thx for "reading" it everyone ;)

How the DMCA Laws Put Indie Developers at Risk

Filing a false DMCA claim costs nothing, requires no proof, and can destroy an indie game's launch in minutes. Fighting back can cost tens of thousands of dollars and take weeks (if you can afford it at all).

Copyright is copyright. DMCA is a good thing that protects creators IP., revenue and usage. and you can absolutely appeal a wrongful DMCA takedown. It’s happened to me. Was easily resolved.

....I don't feel like you read the article, at all.

it's a good thing, but it's also long been reported, across a variety of industries and websites, that currently the system is ripe for and full of abuses. From fair use strikes, to matters like the one reported in this article. It's clear the law needs some tooth to punish bad actors and that parameters need to be set in how reports are filed; ie human review of said content and not some AI bot false flagging stuff. As is the system is far to easily abused by those who have motive to suppress and flag content they have no business or right to.

Commentby87d ago

No system will ever be perfect, but there needs to be a review, unless it blatant.

Nevers0ft86d ago

Until there's genuine consequences for this type of abuse, it'll keep happening across all media. DMCA is in principle a good thing, but it needs an overhaul.
