[Ideas] PR Future Engine Ideas and Suggestions

[[R-CON]Wicca]

Well sounds good, if you going to have that big enviroments, then why not fill it with players... hehe

So it supports veichles?

And you say its going to be hard to have a destructible enviroment?

What about a platoon system?

16X 4 + 1 commander

2 squads in a platoon, 1 lieutenant, one 2nd lieu. and 2 seargents? Is that possible to mod in?

4 - 16 = ehrm... 12. Yeah

So... Is that a bad idea? of course this is a suggestion, but im just wondering what the engine is capable off.

Going to any new engine, whether C4 or something else, will be a huge change in the PR community with respect to talking about what is possible and what isn't. Right now we are limited mostly be what was inherited from BF2 and how far that inheritance can be stretched. We are so used to thinking in terms of the BF2 engine that it will take a huge shift in thought to develop a mod/game for a new engine. With a totally new engine our limitations and possibilities will be different. My feeling is that the limitations of the BF2 engine make a modder's job somehow easier, if not a little frustrating at the same time. You know what your limitations are and you don't try to go beyond them. With the possibilities of making a 64km map with 5 to 6 km view distances you come up against a whole new set of limitations, and they seem to me to be more of technical expertise and even just time. Mapping a 64km map would take a lot of time, to say the least. Barring any zombie outbreak in the near future, it will be fun to see where PR goes and what PR2 might look like.

Very much agreed...if BF3 comes out with a massive new engine then I say go for it...but I think OFP2 might be to tantalizing...I don't mind which game really...because I know the devs will do a great job not matter what...honestly....

Skater: It has been sayed a few times in topic like these that the DEVS wont be moving on to a new BF3 or something in the likes just to mod that. They have been modding for over 5 years. Now they want to build there own game instead of modding an exisiting one. I can totaly see why and I would do the same. If your moving on to a new game you will get the same things you got now. A lot of work ahead of you and limitations.

Sorry I usually can't be bothered reading long threads...eh well the point I was trying to convey was that (even though I'm just a player) that I'd stick with where ever this went because the Devs do a Chuck Norris job.

[cyberzomby]

haha yeap I wasnt trying to say you should have read the thread btw. I just mentioned the devs and the few times so you knew I wasnt pulling this out of thin air

So tell me, how much money do you need to buy that thing? And do you need help to pay it?

[Tirak]

If you're talking about the C4 engine, here's a handy little chart: Handy Little Chart

[[R-CON]Wicca]

Ive already looked at that, didnt say the price for the game if you were going to sell it as a PC game.

[Tirak]

Do you intend to sell a product that was made using the C4 engine? Yes->
Do you have a publisher who is a member of the ESA or ELSPA (Don't know at this point so I'm going to say no for now) No->
Are you going to sell your product for $100.00 (USD) Per copy? (If we follow conventional game pricing) No->
Standard Edition: $350 (USD) per programmer for up to 5 users and $250 each afterwords.
