The game runs in a native resolution of 600p for its console versions.Ĭertain objects, such as cars and some buildings, are destructible. “Bullet Penetration” is calculated by the engine, taking into account factors such as surface type and entity thickness. Notable Games: Rockstar Presents Table Tennis, Grand Theft Auto IV, Midnight Club: Los Angeles, Grand Theft Auto IV: the Lost And The Damned, Grand Theft Auto IV: The Ballad Of Gay TonyĬall of Duty 4: Modern Warfare runs on a proprietary engine, built by Infinity Ward, with features that include true world-dynamic lighting, HDR lighting effects, dynamic shadows and depth of field. Rockstar also spent considerable time attempting to make explosions look more realistic, mainly through particle effects. In addition, weather plays a role in how vehicles handle in Grand Theft Auto IV, the second game to utilze RAGE (Table Tennis being the first). One of Rockstar’s goals in developing its own engine was to make objects feel more realistic, particularly when speeding around locales in different sized vehicles or running on foot. Some of those features come from other sources, such the Euphoria engine (animation) and Bullet physics engine, parts of which have been integrated into RAGE. RAGE combines a rendering framework, physics engine, audio engine, network libraries, animation engine, scripting language, and more into a tidy package. RAGE, or Rockstar Advanced Game Engine, was a joint collaboration between RAGE Technology Group and Rockstar and replaced RenderWare as Rockstar’s game engine of choice. Notable Games: Far Cry, Crysis, Crysis Warhead With the help of CryEngine, Crytek would again push the hardware envelope with Crysis, a shader heavy DirectX 10 game (it also supports DirectX 9) that remains one of the most brutal gaming benchmarks available.
Adding to the level of immersion was lush vegetation and no load times as you wandered the vast landscape. High on visuals, CryEngine’s use of pixel shaders made for realistic water in Far Cry. Now a multiplatform engine (CryEngine was originally a PC-only game engine, but now supports consoles as well), The engine is in constant development, and Crytek are currently on CryEngine 3. It’s said that Crytek originally developed CryEngine as a technology demo called X-Isle to show what Nvidia’s Geforce 3 was capable of, and it was so impressive, it ended up giving birth to Far Cry, a surprise hit that seemingly appeared out of nowhere. Please take a look at parts one and two, if you haven’t seen them yet.
