I mean. Games look incredible and are able to run at high framerates even in those gimpy ass console CPUs.

SWBF is still amazing and runs like butter (or almost) on PS4 and XBO (yeah, 900p and 720p) and the second game is coming looking even better.

NFS Rivals and BF4 right at launch with good graphics and performance.

 

[Not]

We've yet to see what Decima's fully capable of.

 

[GrayChild]

That's a weird way to spell Fox Engine.

 

[BigEmil]

Frostbite is the best performing multi-platform engine in the right hands.

Unreal Engine 4 console optimisation is nowhere near as good as Frostbite magic on console

The way it can achieve such visuals at 60fps on that CPU with lots of things going on at once is great

 

[Complistic]

*insert Andromeda gif here*

 

[Jawmuncher]

nah.
Especially not after all the hell the Andromeda team went through with it.

 

[JeffZero]

Best-looking? It's up there.

Best? No, not after the problems it's caused for my favorite developer.

 

[Linkyn]

After reading the Kotaku article on Andromeda's development, I'm not so sure. It's a gorgeous engine, but also one that was not originally conceived with many different types of games in mind.

[HariKari]

It's capable of looking pretty but gameplay so far on most titles has been very lacking.

 

[ViolentP]

My heart goes to everything that allows Cuphead to exist.

 

[xxracerxx]

I am excited to see what developers do with Decima, more than Frostbite.

Playing Horizon: ZD on an OG PS4 is kind of crazy.

 

[robotrock]

Absolutely not.

 

[SargerusBR]

FOX engine, son.

 

[RomeoDog]

That's a weird way to spell Fox Engine.

While the perfect engine for kojima, its probably not that good for anyone else. ALthough I guess Pro Evo Soccer still uses it.

Best engine this year is the Zelda Breath of the Wild engine.

 

[Gator86]

It's pretty ridiculous (in a good way) when used for its intended purposes. It's pretty ridiculous (in a bad way) when used for other purposes. It helped tank Andromeda due to development difficulty with it.

 

[Rymuth]

Seeing how it screwed over Mass Effect (and gave Dragon Age a hard time), I'mma go with no.

 

[Mathieran]

I know Decima has only been in one game so far, but that game was the best looking and performing engine I've played on the ps4 so far, granted it ran 30 fps it almost never faltered on the pro.

 

[Wagram]

FOX and Decima have been more impressive to me.

 

[shandy706]

That's a weird way to spell Fox Engine.

LOL


Anthem and Battlefront 2 look insane.


Edit* People are joking about some of these other engines..right....graphically?

 

[black070]

*insert Andromeda gif here*

Andromeda is a beautiful game, people really should give it a go now that it's been patched up.

 

[iMax]

I think Unreal takes it, if not just for the sheer diversity of games it's in.

 

[Voras]

As some people have already said, you should check out the article on Mass Effect Andromeda's development.

http://kotaku.com/the-story-behind-mass-effect-andromedas-troubled-five-1795886428

The Frostbite engine seems to be great at certain things but is a problem for others.

 

[a916]

Based on what criteria? Because it's not if we take a lot of things into account...

Unreal is the best overall engine... still.

 

[sems4arsenal]

Decima and FOX.

 

[NESpowerhouse]

It's hard to say. Have you ever made a game on it in conjunction with any other game engine?

 

[Oregano]

I think Unreal takes it, if not just for the sheer diversity of games it's in.

+ Number of platforms it supports.

 

[ffejeromdiks]

That's a weird way to spell Fox Engine.

Lmao, I'm a huge Kojima fanboy but there is absolutely nothing impressive about fox engine when compared with the heavy hitters, outside of the zealotry.

 

[StromboliProtocol]

No. Whatever engine fuel Horizon Zero Dawn is the best engine this gen.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

I know Decima has only been in one game so far, but that game was the best looking and performing engine I've played on the ps4 so far, granted it ran 30 fps it almost never faltered on the pro.

Technically three games I guess, but only one while specifically branded Decima.

 

[Skel1ingt0n]

I think Death Stranding is going to make an even stronger case than Horizon for Decima.

I expect Kojima's new game to blow minds.

***

Fox Engine was definitely good - its natural sunglight and overcast effects are the best in the industry. But everywhere else, it's been superseded by now.

 

[jbug617]

UE4 especially with Arc did with X-rays and now the DBZ game

 

[The Jazz Cabbage Master]

After reading that Kotaku article about how lacking the engine was for Bioware I can't say it's the most impressive.

 

[HStallion]

It didn't sound like the best engine around when it came to Mass Effect Andromeda where it seemed to have a ton of issues.

 

[yananana]

I think id Tech 6 deserves more praise, the way DOOM performs on consoles is just mindblowing, considering it's maintening a stable 60fps and great visuals.

Looking forward to Wolfenstein II in this regard.

 

[IronicSonic]

Something about ME Andromeda...

 

[AcePartyN7]

Well the engine kind of killed" Mass Effect Andromeda indrectly too apparently and partially Inquisition because of all the time they needed to construct stuff that was already there in the UE3.

Powerful engine for sure and result are often amazing but it might not be "the best" for every games.

 

[Data West]

id Tech 6

doom runs way bettter than it has any right to on consoles

 

[Nafai1123]

LOL


Anthem and Battlefront 2 look insane.


Edit* People are joking about some of these other engines..right....graphically?

HZD looks insane and it's running on my OG PS4.

 

[AAK]

I'm gonna say FOX engine.

MGSV runs at 1080p and 60fps all inside a seamless open world and having the greatest stealth + combat gameplay seen in gaming so far.

 

[Caronte]

After reading about Andromeda's troubled development I wouldn't say that.

I agree with others here. Decima is blowing my mind on my PS4 slim, honestly.

 

[TissueBox]

Speaking of fledgling engines, I'm interested in seeing how Amazon's Lumberyard (revamped CryEngine) pans out.

 

[Mashing]

Hmmm, I think Horizon's engine (Decima I think) is the best I've seen. The things that engine can pull off is amazing.

 

[Mechazawa]

It's a gorgeous engine in the hands of DICE, but it seems to be incredibly inconsistent once you veer outside of that team..

Actually, I can't even say that. Mirror's Edge had some pretty atrocious image quality.

 

[Dangansona]

Can't hang with the Telltale engine.

 

[timberger]

No?

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

ME:A disagrees.

 

[Christocolus]

The engine is a beast. SWBF2 looks amazing but Anthem looks so much better..It's incredible what they've been able to achieve with the engine.

 

[Poplin]

UE4 especially with Arc did with X-rays and now the DBZ game

X-rays? Do you mean the MK:X ones? Because if so that was running on an insanely modified UE3 engine (also that was netherealm)

 

[chrisPjelly]

Frostbite is sufffering from the same problem that Unreal 3 had back in the day in that every game has the same Hazy bloomy look. Unreal 4 is WAAAY more diverse in it's offerings, even if it isn't the most substantial from a physics point.
