What If Street Fighter IV Was Built On The Unreal Engine?

Kotaku writes: "Some forum dwellers over on Game Artisans have taken it upon themselves to run a little competition, see who can come up with the best 3D Street Fighter character render. The results show that it's a fruitless contest, because everyone who even glances at the thread is a winner."

The texures would pop in halfway through the match.

LeGenDx5575d ago

capcom is smart, they wouldnt.

saphiron5575d ago

no thanks.. i prefer the more colorful cartoony style for streetfighter. Not an UE fan, but nice models..

Lich1205575d ago

Yeah, not to mention the poly counts in those is way to high for in game. However, whoever did that guile model is extremely talented. Actually, the blanka is good too, but that Guile is really impressive to me.

SaiyanFury5575d ago

Then it wouldn't run well on PS3. The UE3 engine has already beenproven not to run well on PS3 hardware.

Honestly that doesn't look bad. Either would have been fine, but I really wanted the paint brush effect in the game too bad.

CobraKai5575d ago

Yeah it would look completely generic. Unreal Engine looked fantastic 2 years ago, but since every game utilizes it, it just looks plain. I mean C'mon, Guile looks like he's a gears of war character. Where's the art? Where is the style?

Tony P5574d ago

C'mon people. I don't think UE needs to be used for SFIV, but this is awesome work. Grats to the artist.

UE3 engine is BASED off of bump mapping and normal mapping. The models in a UE3 based game all are very low poly count, but what gives them its detail is the mapping and pixel shaders. The RSX is not good with pixel shaders, while the Xenos is. Most PS3 devs end up using the Cell to do it's pixel shaders.

While the PS3 CAN pump out more pixel shaders, this is the thing:
RSX + Cell = can pump out more PPI (pixels per inch) with lots of pixel shaders than the 360.
Xenos = Since it works by itself and not with the Xenon, its PPI is lowered with each pixel shader.

Since the UE3 engine is more compatible with a PC, the UE3 engine is easier to program for the PC + 360, while for the PS3, its hard to split processes (or any pc engine port) up between the Cell and RSX.

Oh, and I'm not a fan of UE3, my experience with it has been good, great quality for its power usage, but I prefer to have soldiers not look like they are drenched in vaseline.

UE, go away plz.

Guerilla Engine...hello.

BLUR1115575d ago

id Tech 5 I think will be the most powerful

LeonSKennedy4Life5575d ago

You haven't seen the White engine in action yet, have you?

Eiffel5574d ago

BLUR111 is correct ID tech 5 rapes all.

Marquis_de_Sade5574d ago

The Killzone 2 engine would be a poor choice for smaller scale games, at least based on the poor textures in Killzone 2. ID Tech 5 at least sounds phenomenal, superior to the Crystal tools in use at Square Enix anyway.

Two Decades Later, the Original Splinter Cell is Still a Masterpiece

They don't make games like this anymore.

Too dated in my book. The AI is way too unpredictable to be acceptable today. It's definitely a game of its time.

Jingsing2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Agreed with those sentiments. The quality of the CPU controlled characters make or break a stealth game and they are pretty poor in all the Splinter Cell games by today's standard. This is what led me to playing Spies vs Mercs all the time in later games just to get a better stealth experience from a real person. Arguably Sony are making better stealth games albeit not Tom Clancy stuff.

TheProfessional1d 19h ago (Edited 1d 19h ago )

You should stick with fortnite or one of the countless bloodborne style games then. What a joke.

rlow11d 20h ago

I had a good time with the game. It is a product of its time. But when it came out it was a must have game for a lot of people. I wish Ubisoft would make another game in the series or at least a reboot.

vgvill1d 18h ago

They are making a remake, I think. I loved the original game when it was released, but I tried to play it again in recent years and just couldn't get on with it. The same with the older Hitman games.

PrecursorOrb1d 18h ago

Yeah chaos theory still holds up though I gotta say. If you’re a fan of the series I highly suggest you go back to that one. Ubi has said they are remaking sc for “modern audiences”. I don’t have a lot of faith for the future of that company

Chocoburger1d 11h ago (Edited 1d 11h ago )

Due to the lack of modern stealth games, and me constantly playing the MGS series, I've been looking for alternative stealth games to play, and went back and re-played the SC series recently. I wouldn't call SC1 or SC:PT masterpieces, there are AI issues, they're very much trial-and-error games, and that can lead to a lot of frustration. I also found the stories in this series to be boring, uninteresting, and just sloppily told. Cinematics are also of poor quality for both in-game scenes and CG cut-scenes, the soundtrack didn't leave any impression on me either.

Chaos Theory is better, but there was still a lot of room for improvement, and Double Agent (old gen ver.) was a sloppy mess that ended up a regression from CT. But still, at least they tried back then, these days Ubi-junk doesn't even try to make good games!

Name someone that isn't trying to look us these days maybe cdpr.

Take two, ubi and yes even PlayStation are pushing us to own nothing and be happy with our live service ad injected games on a sub so they can raise prices at will and take access away when they see fit.

If it keeps up I'll be a full time retro gamer and this industry will be crashing hard

As rediculas as it sounds we need government reforms to defend consumer rights
