Nothing was remotely confirmed out of Quakecon.

Seems like the event is now officially meaningless.

Unless they've majorly rebuilt the thing, idtech5 has major issues with large surface areas, so they would have to make Dishonored 2 notably less open than even the first game.

Now, that's fine if you're making a corridor shooter, but bad if you're not.

I feel it would be unfortunate if they removed the multiple paths/solutions element from Dishonored.

Bahahhahahah....what?....Rage was one of the most open shooters in years

id Tech 5? pls no.

It's on CryEngine.

What he's referring to is this comment by Carmack:

But there are some things it's bad on. If you wanted to do the next Grand Theft Auto that had a city... It's too much surface area to MegaTexture everything at the level of detail that you want to do. If you want to do a game that's all about walking around with torches, our dynamic lighting approximations are not as good as you might want for something like that.

...

The MegaTexture direction gives us some big wins, but it's also fairly restrictive on certain types of games. It would be a completely unacceptable engine to do [Bethesda's Elder Scrolls V] Skyrim in, where you've got the whole world going, and you're walking across these huge areas.

The above can be interpreted one of two ways. Either:

- id Tech 5 does support more than one MegaTexture (up to 128k by 128k in size) for geometry per map. but covering a sprawling open world with detailed MegaTextures would blow out the file size of such a game to an infeasible level, or
- id Tech 5 does not support more than one texture for geometry per map and 128k by 128k simply isn't large enough to cover a sprawling open world without sacrificing finer detail

Either scenario could also apply to singular larger levels if they were labyrinthine enough, however I have my doubts that Dishonored 2 will feature levels much larger than those seen in the original.

Yeh,and had incredible issues with their garbage megatexture tech because of it...
Cryengine is the logical choice.

It was designed for PS3/360 first then ported to PC
