One-game Engines

He's also writing his own engine, isn't he. I wonder if that's totally new or based on what they developed for The Witness.
Hmm i think not
From what i understand, Nintendo have one big engine for zelda that is constatly updated for the next game
I read a rumour that is the same engine that powered mario 64 and OOT lol, but i could be wrong
That's the same ASKA engine used to make Resonance of Fate and Star Ocean 4 on last gen, and SO5 this gen. That demo was showcasing an upgrade to a physically based renderer.
Something that's always important to keep in mind with game engines is that just because a game has an engine with a new name or no name at all doesn't mean an engine was made specifically for that game. There's a ton of engine re-use and re-working that happens vs. building new ones from scratch. For example, I always see these images about id-Tech's family tree and it illustrates pretty well how games you might have thought had their own from-scratch engine actually derived it from earlier tech.
Is Red Steel 2 using the same engine as the first ?
I feel good about those two lol : Pandora's Tower and The Last Story.
That would be crazy.

Luminous is basically a full-featured engine now, while Nomura might stick with UE4 after VII-R, Tabata's team will be using it going forward.
Well, that's nice. I just hope that there will be no more development headaches going forward.
I believe Dark Souls 2 is an example of this?
It was built from the ground up since apparently it started development as a different game and it also completely overhauled the lighting system (which was later mostly scrapped)

Good post. Just to add a fun fact (and I hope I recall correctly), the Tomb Raider reboot 'engine' has its roots in what was used for Soul Reaver.
This thread is blowing my mind. What exactly is this night and day difference b/w the two versions? Resolution? AA? AF? Shadows? Draw Distance? That's just a difference b/w Low Settings and High Settings on PC. The game is literally the same. Both versions get the same textures, same foliage, same character models, same number of enemies, same everything.
It's the same damn game. What am I even reading here? What's next? MGS3 and MGS2 remasters that ran at 60 fps and 720p and had better AA, shadows and draw distance were PS3 cross gen games? lol The game was last gen as fuck.
you want to see what current gen early gen games looked like?
Witcher 3 and Batman Arkham both came out before MGSV and looked next gen.
Kojima's FIRST current gen game looks like this:
And you think this is current gen?
When will people learn not to compare visuals of 60hz games to 30hz games.. It's no wonder developers almost always choose 30fps with better visuals than 60fps with lower visuals.
The original engine wasn't, yes.
However, interestingly, both FFX/X-2 HD Remaster and FFXII: The Zodiac Age use the Phyre Engine.
I see, thanks for answer.
Ok, now one of arcade games I wanted to mention. Brave Firefighters for Sega Hikaru. Hikaru was successor to model 3 arcade hardware, too strong and expansive, the decided to use Naomi/Naomi 2 (which based on dreamcast) instead for most releases
Some comment from YT (idk how correct)
I think the engine used in both Destiny games is the Halo Reach engine reworked. I could have been misinformed though.
The Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness engine.
Core Design created a new engine from scratch for the game and, as far as I know, it never got used again after Eidos took the franchise away from them and gave it to Crystal Dynamics.

Didn't their VR space game use the same engine? I wouldn't be surprised to learn that that weird bouncy platformer game of theirs was based on the same engine, as well.
I doubt, all souls games still use phyre engine framework, they even had same bugs in dks1 (or 2?) and bloodborne, I remember
Nope, you're correct. That's why Destiny's crosshair in both games isn't centre to the screen, but lower because in Halo Reach and older Halo games, the crosshair was always lower and never in the middle.
It's an iteration from mgs1, and extended beyond that to peace walker and mg arcade before finally being replaced with the fox engine.
That's a gameplay decision on Bungie's part, not an unchanging engine feature. Destiny 2 on PC lets you move it to the center.
That's interesting. What sort of bugs have been present accross the games?
And they should ditch it for UE4 if Deus Ex comes back if you ask me. 5 years was way too long to develop Mankind Divided for the changes to the formula it made.
The Glacier II Engine which it is based off of is nice, but it should probably stay with IO Interactive.
Anyone who's seen the framerate of the last gen version of MGSV knows very well that it's not a last gen game. The performance is a disaster.
I'm pretty sure Tokyo Mirage Sessions uses the same engine. Either that or both games use their own custom one off engines.
Nah, Dark Souls 2's engine was the first iteration of of From's current gen engine. Compare DS3 to the pre-release footage of DS2 and you can see that shared lineage.
that's something that Phantom Pain shares with a whole hell of a lot of AAA multiplats from late last gen
Call of Duty games have been running on the Quake 3 Arena engine since the first one. It's been heavily modified but still, at its core, it was ID Tech 3 from 1999
seems awfully offtopic and nothing to do with what OP is saying
FF XV, uses the Luminous Engine but doesn't reuse any assets from other games. And they will probably never be reused again. I know Tabata has his own studio now, but I feel like Nomura gtfo'd from Luminous to Unreal for a good reason.
Hoping and not expecting to see more of Luminous Engine ever again, beautiful looking but terribly impractical

Fox engine would be the best example even if it doesn't fit the tag exactly. A nicely optimized, multi platform game engine running at 60fps, tight controls and quality visuals across the board and Konami uses it for one solid game (b grade football games and mgs knock off don't count) ? Fuck konami indeed.

After doing some more research, its not the case
From what i understand, this actual engine was built originally for Wind Waker, and they use it until today.
But for each interation they heavly modifies it, so is not wrong to say that each zelda game comes with a new engine (some old features are absorved and updated)
No.
Custom engine. Made from scratch specifically for Requiem. Like all of Cyclone's games.
Destiny's engine was based upon Halo Reach's and D2's will be built upon that.
