Or at least hopefully make those who would complain about the cost of Unity pro re-evaluate their sentiments.

it's cost far exceeds it's value in my opinion anyway (again, for PC only, once you're talking about console development it's another ballgame). Don't quote me on that, you have to talk to them directly, and they also have indie licensing now so I gather they are trying to be more accessible. And the cost used to be like $30k+ just for the PC binary Gamebryo. until Unity supports more console systems that is.Īnyway, just my 2 cents. Unless you're developing for PS3, XBox, and PC at the same time, in which case I think you'd be crazy *not* to use Gamebryo. There are certainly some elements of Gamebryo that could be put into Unity but overall I think Unity is such a better value and more productive tool that it makes the cost of Gamebryo seem ludicrous. You have a lot of control over blending and the animation sytem handles state transition in a way that is very programmer friendly. 2 Gamebryo 2.6 Toolbench ( ) Lua Rapid Iteration Visual Studio 2005, 2008 3DS Max 2009, 2010, 2011 PhysX 2.8.3 Gamebryo LightSpeed 2. Their animation system and editor is also amazing (looks hokey, but it's really quite nice). You unity fan boys get on my nerves because you swear the Unity Engine is the best thing on the planet while it is good, great it is not. Most indie dev teams consist of 4 or less people, with a budget 5000 or less i was buffing up the stats for the benefit of the doubt. You can do so much within a DCC app before it even hits the game that if you really wanted to you could build your levels directly in your artists tool of choice. I never argued if unity was a capable engine or not.

You only get PC, you won't get a web version (unless you coded the plugin yourself and still no Mac support so what's the point?), and there is no scripting, audio, or networking (in gamebryo at least, it would appear that Lightspeed has some of those features).īut their artist tool support is really really awesome, and the way you can script the export plugins is absolutely fantastic. But there is sooo much work that you would have to do before you're even close to as productive and usable as Unity that even considering Lightspeed's enhancments (which a ton of the content in that video was pre-baked vs what you'd expect to have to do if you started 'from scratch') it's really not worth the trouble until they started pricing it differently. PsxMeUP writes 'Game Observer conducted an interview with Ashley Cheng, Production Director at Bethesda.He answered questions about the Gamebryo engine, why they prefer it over other engines and the advantages it presented while making Fallout 3. Pop-ins appearing round water aswell witch will have something to do with it.I've used a great deal of Gamebryo (up to 2.5) and I can say that it's really a great engine/library. Gamebryo also supports a variety of platforms such as Windows, Wii, Xbox 360, and PlayStation. I think they we're getting the Connors alittle bit just like the rest of the game. Compared to the Unreal Engine and CryENGINE, Emergent Game Technologies’ Gamebryo engine is used to develop a variety of games, ranging from action games to strategy games like Fallout 3, Empire Earth, and Civilization IV games.
They might find better work arounds for it.The beta was shocking and the managed to improve it quite well against the finally game. I think if they unloaded the cells abit or using lower textures. I think regarding the pop ins and stuff thats generally there fault for poor game design. The fo3 geck comes up with these werid texture errors the whloe time even though everything is fine.
The FNV geck is far better than the fo3 Geck. An example being after land scaping pressing f4 will to refresh will stop the land scape going all black and stopp glitches and werid shit happening.
Some of the bugs though are predictable and once you learn about them there some what easy to avoid. I feel dam sorry for bug testers and people who have to sort that out because there life must be hell. Things that should work at times just don't. Either reloading the game, or just having to go back to an old version of esp. There has been times play testing when things just don't work for no apparent reason. However with better coders and desginers than me I am sure they can just find work arounds. It is buggy though some things just don't work. It surprising how much you can do if you get it right. Because of the ease of use and it is some what easy to learn. As some who spend many hours working in GECK I can use why there use it some regards.
