UE5 is a very different beast in a lot of ways. I don’t see them switching though, not unless they transitioned to Apex 2.

From a publisher/developer standpoint, it wouldn't make much sense unless they were banking on keeping the game around for another decade. Bioware is a good lesson on why you should stick with an engine you're comfortable with for a game series. Importing assets is one thing, dealing with the inevitable mountain of bugs/glitches is another.

Yeah Apex is never going to change engines unless they do a clean-slate Apex 2, which they probably won't It's on the table for Titanfall 3 though if that ever happens

ALGS playoffs happening now. The timing is very unfortunate if you’re in North America, but watching the recording today the games have been really interesting. The different metas colliding has been fun to see. Also seems like some of the scrim results (eg TL doing surprisingly well) may have been more indicative of LAN performance than I expected.

IIRC goldsrc and UE use different units of measurement for physics calculations, which has traditionally been the cause of some extremely entertaining bugs. Battlefield's mis-converted bomb yields being orders of magnitude larger than they were supposed to be come to mind. It would be more likely that TF3/Apex Legends 2 end up using Source 2 if it ever ships

At Titanfall start up time, Zampella said that he prioritized using an engine they could build quickly on and was shown to hit a stable 60 FPS on consoles. That's something they cared about clearly in CoD (idtech) and they believed source could also do it. I don't know what game confirmed that for them or anything. I don't recall any 60FPS Source games on console. Nowadays Unreal hits that comfortably with high fidelity and in MP with like Gears. For the Star Wars game, it's weird to describe it this way but it was probably still in start up mode. They had to hire fast and scale a team to make a licensed game, so sticking with an engine you can hire people with knowledge of and lots of tools helps a lot. But they're also not in that startup mode anymore and probably know the pros and cons of their Titanfall engine so they're probably in a good spot to do whatever they want. Epic has been signing big deals with AAA devs as well to move to their engine so it wouldn't be impossible that they'd join in on that.

I don't recall any 60FPS Source games on console. Don't forget to mention cost; Source was already 6-8 years old and considered a historic engine when they started developing Titanfall, they probably paid a one-time 40k fee to license it. By contrast, the Unreal license is minimum 5% of sales and probably has more hidden costs for AAA teams. Unreal/Source 2 are certainly the higher-fidelity options, but why switch when you can make billions off something that's free and still looks good?

Honestly? Because Unreal would want them to use their engine and could give them a large discount, or rebates, or direct material support to even get 1/10 of their revenue. You're exactly correct that they charge, but Respawns next project probably scales outside of normal studio pricing, probably like whatever they're doing with Witcher.

I really wish we could leave the last console generation behind and see what these new consoles can do unconstrained by 9 year old hardware, whose CPUs were already shite when they launched.

People would need to actually be able to get the new consoles first. And you'd still have people running 10 year old PCs furious that their 760 can't run it.

I tend to miss a lot with the Flatline so I didn’t bother crafting it this season, but a measly 30 mats for a R-301 whenever I want is going to be hard to pass up.

Isn't putting those guns in the craft rotation making them more available though? Now you don't need rng to find them, you can craft them every game if you want

No surprise the 301 and Rampage are next. I mean, ignoring the fact that it'll be very easy to just craft them if you want, you do know that the flatline and longbow aren't going to craftable next season, so they'll probably go back to being ground loot right? as much as I like the rampage, it really feels like the default gun for a lot of folk to take, so making it more of an intentional choice is a good thing imo edit: I mean, it's also possible that they'll go into the care package, but that'll also mean two of the care package guns will be ground loot (probably the scout and the volt) so this really seems like being upset for the sake of it to me egg tats fucked around with this message at 17:58 on May 2, 2022 |

I only need the "equip a legendary shield and helmet at the same time" achievement and then I'll have them all. Is that still possible? Haven't seen a golden helmet in ages. And what's a legendary shield? Red or gold?

Or, comedy option, they just keep adding more and more guns to the radial craft menu until each slice of the selection pie is teeny Spend time in training mode to get the gun you want.

And what's a legendary shield? Red or gold? Worlds Edge should presumably be back in rotation next week, which means access to the loot vaults, which means easy-to-find gold gear. Play as Loba and you can steal one item per ult, no key necessary. Also works on the ship bridge on Olympus, but there aren’t any more vaults to go search afterwards. Generally just playing as Loba will make your goal easier to accomplish.

Probably going to have some good loot in the new stormpoint robot lockers too also there's at least one gold tier item on the ground on Elysium if you're on Olympus don't know if there's any consistent way to find gold equipment on KC, you'll just need to raid care packages and have a lifeline on your team
