It's already a solid engine... Heaven has been used for DX11 benching for how long now? Unigine are good at what they do.

@Xfanboy

lol Yeah I wanna see how watered down it will be for the PS3.

But, like toaster said though, the Heaven screenshots would be misleading as PS3 cannot do hardware based tessellation.

Tropics is probably a better representation for the RSX.

Good luck getting tessellation running on the PS3's 7600 gt equivalent gpu horsepower (Which is crippled btw with vertex/pixel shaders make this even less possible, unless they use SPU's and strap on make-up effects to makeup for its shortcomings in ability to push/fill geo/textures). Another engine (game) gimped by the consoles.

But the blind fanboys will enjoy this article.

Like Xfanboy below, he thinks a PS3 can run an engine that makes GTX 580's struggle. Not thinking about memory limits (Shitty textures, res, high-level effects) PS3 will not be anywhere close to those real-time benchmarks.

LOL fail @ being a fanboy.

That really depends how they implement vertex processing in the (PS3) engine. If they can offset rasterization penalties on the RSX with an optimized render pipeline it might be pretty close. Oilrush - at least from those screen shots - seem certainly possible.

Tessellation cripples modern GPUs, it's a luxury that only the most recent high end cards can handle while maintaining a playable frame rate. You wont see it on console games this gen, or al least properly, maybe some smoke and mirror type deal, the hardware just isnt up to it.

Yeah, it technically does but it is not nearly as programmable as the tessellation units in DirectX 11 ATI GPUs. Nvidia GPUs are an entirely different beast because they do not have dedicated units, and instead every stream processor can be used to handle tessellation.

Anyone that has run the Unigine Heaven Benchmark on the PC knows how poorly it runs on anything but the very best GPUs.

Seriously, it's just sad that no devs are taking advantage of it

Why aren't devs all over this?

I want this engine in the videogames i buy. I don't want to see every single EA game in the Battlefield 3 engine, just as i don't want every single third person shooter in Unreal Engine.
