In fact, they needed a well-oiled gaming engine to get off the ground &#8211; an engine built from the bottom up\u00a0and tweaked to perfection. There are some mainstream engines out there, and some that have been made just for certain games, but the next-gen engines are what everybody is talking about at the moment. Take a look below and found out why.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">CryEngine<\/h3>\n<p>The CryEngine has been around for a few years and its capabilities are almost limitless. It was able to get Crysis up and running on a PS3 and I cannot wait to see what is in store is for the future of this powerful piece of software. The latest version of the\u00a0CryEngine\u00a0\u00a0has already showed its true colours in the latest Xbox One title Ryse: Son of Rome.<\/p>\n<p><b>Games incoming<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Evolve \u2013 Turtle Rock Studios (PS4, Xbox One, PC)<\/li>\n<li>Kingdom Come: Deliverance \u2013 Warhorse Studios (TBA)<\/li>\n<li>Monster Hunter Online \u2013 Capcom and Tencent Games (PC)<\/li>\n<li>Warface \u2013 Crytek (TBA)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Demo videos and trailers<\/b><\/p>\n<p>In this video we can see the power of real-time destruction and physics.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IR5Blw1orZ8?rel=0\" height=\"338\" width=\"600\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Some good games are in the pipeline for the engine.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iICzbDBeZ7U?rel=0\" height=\"338\" width=\"600\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Unreal Engine 4<\/h3>\n<p>A lot of the titles of the last generation started up with the ad &#8220;\u201cPowered by Unreal\u201d, and this was because of how easy the engine was to use.\u00a0It has amazing capabilities and is easy for developers to create games across platforms at the same time. Because of these capabilities, and open source software, the Unreal Engine was largely chosen over the CryEngine for last gen. The Unreal Engine 4 looks unreal, excuse the pun, with some jaw-dropping tech videos and screenshots released recently. It\u2019s hard not to get excited about this engine.<\/p>\n<p><b>Games incoming<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dead Crusade \u2013 Aesthetic Games (PC, Mac, Linux)<\/li>\n<li>Daylight \u2013 Zombie Studios (PC, PS4)<\/li>\n<li>Fable Legends \u2013 Lionhead Studios (Xbox One)<\/li>\n<li>Fortnite \u2013 Epic Games (PC , TBA)<\/li>\n<li>RIME \u2013 Bluehole Studios (PS4)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Demo videos and trailers<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Take a look at this realistic rendering.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MACBfh_9qdU?rel=0\" height=\"338\" width=\"600\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Who hasn\u2019t seen this amazing demo?<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/y_7awHM-pr0?rel=0\" height=\"338\" width=\"600\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>And a showcase trailer to end it off.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/puRT8nVOP7k?rel=0\" height=\"338\" width=\"600\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Frostbite 3 Engine<\/h3>\n<p>We have not seen much from this engine in terms of future plans and games in development, but if we look at Battlefield &#8211; the game that made the Frostbite Engine what it is today &#8211; we already have a glimpse of what&#8217;s tyo come.<\/p>\n<p><b>Games incoming<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mirrors Edge 2 \u2013 Dice (PS4, Xbox One, PC)<\/li>\n<li>Dragon Age III: Inquisition \u2013 Bioware (PS4, Xbox One, PC)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Demo videos and trailers<\/b><\/p>\n<p>A bit of detail on the Frostbite Engine.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/R9yVV6g3q7g?rel=0\" height=\"338\" width=\"600\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>A demo showcasing the engine&#8217;s power.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1kuT-NhhDQs?rel=0\" height=\"338\" width=\"600\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><b style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">Other Engines<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><b>Monolith Studios &#8211;\u00a0 Lithtech Engine<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3Ps7puWAz1E?rel=0\" height=\"338\" width=\"600\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><b>Silicon Studios<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Tech demo preview<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ErWicf6yuDo?rel=0\" height=\"338\" width=\"600\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><b>Bungie &#8211; Umbra Engine 3<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Destiny<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/y2Jx5__c1lY?rel=0\" height=\"338\" width=\"600\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Are you looking forward to seeing what these engines can produce?
