This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Yeah anyone who says that studios should just develop an engine or that it's not that hard should look to cyberpunk. Most bugs there were engine related, and all of its performance woes were too.

I'm actually sad, it ended up being a fine engine after they fixed it up for a year, and it'd be nice to have some more alternatives to unreal

I completely agree, on both counts. I'm sad about the demise of Red Engine too, especially since the look of Cyberpunk was one of the things they nailed. Not just graphically, but things like small character movement animations during dialogues and facial expressions.

I'm fearful that the upcoming Cyberpunk 2 (when it releases in 10 years) will lose a lot of identity by being Unrealified.

Those character animations are an engine agnostic problem. That’s on the art department, any engine can handle it with ease.

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 2 points 2 years ago

That's possible. I know rigging for facial expressions used to be a big thing and was very different between engines, but at this point perhaps every option is at a sufficient enough level for it not to matter.
