Sucker Punch: Bespoke Engines 'Push Limits'

NowGamer: The inFamous 2 developers have explained why they believe building their own engine is preferable to using one by a third-party

If Sucker Punch gets anywhere close to top level PS3 graphics for an open world game with what looks to be partially destructible environments then color me impressed.

sikbeta5815d ago

This Game will be a Total Blast...

creatchee5815d ago

I love when devs use proprietary engines. It presents the opportunity to push the envelope rather than be limited by third-party architecture. I mean, great games are great games, but I've think that when you actually create something from the VERY ground up, more of your soul is in it, and hence, you are more likely to produce something great.

skyward5815d ago

Can't think of any - presumably because it enables Naughty Dog, Sucker Punch, Santa Monica etc to squeeze the best out of the PS3. But could the same be done with Unreal/CryEngine/Source given enough time/modification?

Redempteur5815d ago (Edited 5815d ago )

infamous 1 engine was sucker punch engine.

@skyward
probably but the amount of work to change modify the engine isn't worth the trouble

Raf1k15815d ago

I think it was one of EA's devs that came up with MLAA for the PS3. I don't know what happened but it seems Sony might have bought it off them. Either way, it would be nice to see third party devs using it too.

raztad5815d ago (Edited 5815d ago )

You are talking about Pandemic, DF made the claim they were using MLAA but it was a mistake, Pandemics technique was based on edge detection and blurring. MLAA was implemented for the first time, in a PS3 game, by Sony Santa Monica.

Ju5815d ago (Edited 5815d ago )

It is part of Sony's reference engine, the PhyrEngine, AFAIK. There they refer to it in some texture filtering examples. So it is basically available to everybody. Pandemic might have been the first to use it. How you use it is also up to the developer, I would think.

How I understand it, whatever the 1st party dev teams or research teams do goes into the PhyrEngine eventually and with it into the SDK which is then made available to 3rd parties as well.

Raf1k15815d ago

So that's how it is. Thanks for correcting me.

LordStig5815d ago

like you said if they (devs) have the time they could, i mean it's not impossible to polish a turd it just takes time and technique.

ForzaGT5815d ago

the ps3 is starting to be tested to the limit, gamers are the winners

Def Warrant5815d ago

I simply cannot wait for Infamous2. Infamous1 was a total joy ride. Sucker Punch are definitely among gods. The Sony first party dev GODS!!!

I want it too. Make it co-op as well.

-Foxtrot1110d ago

Yeah they had a lightning bolt in the shape of a question mark at the end of Infamous 2

They always went off the good ending for Cole so I think for Delsin it should be the bad ending

What he did in the bad ending, absorbing everyone’s powers, seemed like he was going to turn into something powerful.

Makes you feel like he could have been the real Beast and John was just an anomaly because of them messing with time

Sets up a Cole vs Delsin showdown

lukasmain1110d ago

How would fans feel about a reboot? You know to bring a new audience in? Not a good idea? Good idea?

anast1109d ago

Not a god idea. They let it sit for too long and the game hasn't been strong enough to carry itself all these years. There is so much other stuff out there right now.

masterfox1110d ago

Second Son was released in 2014 was an amazing game visually and gameplay wise, sometimes I play it again on the PS5 and seeing it run at 60 fps is something to behold(yes an almost 10 year old game), if you haven't done that on your PS5 try it you won't be disappointed, pure eye candy, a PS5 exclusive of Infamous would be amazing no doubt.

gold_drake1110d ago

meh, i want Cole to come back.

or maybe a reboot. with cole.

Older PlayStation games that we'd love to see on the PlayStation 5

From Xfire: "For a company with a three-decade-long history in gaming, Sony has done a crappy job at preserving its legacy. "

Flawlessmic1500d ago (Edited 1500d ago )

All the mgs games, all the ape escapes, silent hill 1-4, croc 1 and 2, legend of dragoon, tekken 3,tenshu, bushido blade, vagrant story, okami, ico, crash bash, gt4.

Thats just off the top of my head that i would play immediately, still so many more though that id love.

Welshy1500d ago

MGS, Silent Hill etc are no brainers, but you earned my thumbs up for our boi Croc. I talk about him all the time, it's an honour to find another man of culture.

Flawlessmic1500d ago (Edited 1500d ago )

Hahaha yea was one of my very first games i owned on ps1 as a child, great memories!!

Love to hear there other people out there that enjoyed the gem of a game that is croc 👌

RedDevils1500d ago (Edited 1500d ago )

Okami has HD version already. I want those Sly games though since PS3 and vita had it.

Flawlessmic1499d ago

Yea sly would be cool, i never got into those so would be a good opportunity for me to do so.

But yea theres so many games in sony catalogue we coukd be here all day listing titles.

Hopefully we all get the ganes we are hoping for.

outsider16241500d ago

Tenchu 1 and 2
Socom 1 and 2
MGS 1-3
MGS4
ICO

seanpitt231500d ago

RDR2 for me they can boost that up to 60fps with better graphic settings than last gen

Luc201500d ago

Folklore. It was such a unique and beautiful game. Great soundtrack. I still have my PS3 copy

The_Hooligan1500d ago

YES please! Also I would love to see Warhawk come back. Such an awesome game.

moriarty18891500d ago

The Resistance and a killzone series for me.

Bigman4k1500d ago (Edited 1500d ago )

Infamous 1 & 2 probably will get remaster for PS5/4 at some point as for the others in that article idk

If the PC can emulate the PS3, then for sure the PS5 would be able to do same. but dose Sony want it?

Mr Logic2163d ago

If there was money in it, then Sony would do it. People can bitch and moan all they want, but even if every person on this site used BC, that would still be a tiny fraction of gamers. Almost nobody really uses BC.

DethWish2163d ago (Edited 2163d ago )

I think there would be money if they made PS3 games downloadable through PSNow and added a bunch more.
Edit: I would get it if MGS4 was available

Mr Logic2163d ago

@DethWish

That would be an emulator. You're not making any sense.

DethWish2163d ago

Mr Logic, really? If PS5 could emulate PS3 games (BC) and PSNow would let you download and play PS3 games locally instead of streaming (like it lets you download PS4 games), wouldn't that be awesome? PSNow has some really interesting PS3 games, but I'd prefer to play them locally

MadLad2163d ago

Really?
Remasters of popular games do extremely well. MS basically hands them out for free. If people didn't want to play older games, then why do remasters sell so well?

anonymousfan2163d ago

I honestly would probably never ever use it... But I still think it would be pretty neat. Its one of the few avantages PC still has on console that is complete backwards compatibility. But for all the work needed to implement this I doubt it would be worth Sony's time.

Melankolis2163d ago

In my opinion.
The difference is independent emulator developer can build any emulator as an experiment that will be perfected for years, maybe more than 10 years. During that time, expect many glitch, bugs, and updates. They can do that because they do not have any obligation towards PC users or whatsoever.

Fos Sony, once they announce PS5 will be able to play PS3 games, they have to make it safe and playable for users. They do not want the emulator cause bricks, glitch, heating up or anything to the consoles and get sued for that.

Harkins17212163d ago

The amount of work it would require sony for each game probably isn't worth it. Maybe after rpcs3 is done they can patent it and use it. That's the dream lol

This has been going on for years any full game playable yet

EazyC2163d ago

Wish I never sold my PS3 for MGS IV alone, I'm dying to play it again

Gamerking822163d ago (Edited 2163d ago )

Any ps3 owner has too own this masterpiece . My disk drive has just gone on my old super slim . So I bought the digital version no questions ask . If you have a ps3 own this masterpiece that’s all I can say . I replay it every year and still find loads of enjoyment . The last true metal gear in my opinion . V was good and gameplay amazing , but it’s just not a metal gear quality story wise .
