time to take a look at what’s going on
underneath the hood of your favorite
games come on Nate let’s get the hell
out of here you’re not really in a
position to negotiate
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our picks for the top
10 video game engines everyone and their
mother had the same damn idea for this
list we ranked the best video game
engines based on how they perform in a
variety of games number 10 and valencian
well this is not the glad welcome I was
expecting versions of this engine have
also been known as scimitar and
anvilnext but it’s fantastic framework
for a game under any name supporting
everything you need for an open-world
like dynamic whether physically based
rendering and global illumination
lighting it’s been used by Ubisoft and
games like Assassin’s Creed 2 where it
was upgraded to depict an entire 24-hour
day/night cycle I’m afraid I know
nothing of these documents he’s lying
under the anvil next name starting in
Assassin’s Creed 3 it featured an
amazing weather system which depicted
automatic cycling – wow that was
interesting
number 9 Fox engine one of the most
mind-blowing stealth action series needs
an equally mind-blowing graphics engine
and the Fox engine has got snake cover
speak the cross-platform engine was
designed by Kojima Productions and it
was their first move towards developing
for multiple platforms
given that it’s named for a military
unit in the Metal Gear series it’s only
natural that the engine showed its
greatness in Metal Gear Solid 5 Ground
zeroes and will continue to wow gamers
in the phantom pain our guests are right
on time
document destruction and hangar
decontamination are complete a Breit
unity engine although most of the
entries on our list focus on triple-a
titles we certainly care about indie
games – and this engine powers many of
them it’s perfect for just about any
platform any developers hope to work in
since its focus on portability allows it
to be supported by PC Mac Linux mobile
or consoles
wherever they use it they get its
dynamic shadows thanks in part due to
its built-in shadow mapping technology
but you’ll probably be too focused on
its pretty colors number 7 Naughty Dog
game engine you won’t explain this this
engine was designed specifically for the
ps3 and his creators used the focus to
showcase just how much that console was
capable of
it filled the beautiful environments of
the in charted series and the zombie
masterpiece The Last of Us with tons of
dynamic objects with independent physics
and proved equally adept at showcasing
cinematics and gameplay did you get the
money for this drugs I sell hardcore
drugs pixel shaders with a big new
technology here which color eise’s every
individual pixel on an object based on
the environment around it creating some
of the most visually realistic games of
the seventh generation I see great
things in our future kid great things
number six frostbite engine some engines
work equally well in a variety of games
and this EA exclusive entry is a perfect
example whether you’re caught up in the
destructible evolution of battlefield 4
or exploring the lush wilderness of
Dragon Age Inquisition this engine
supports dynamic worlds with constantly
changing environments water and weather
it’s incredible lighting courtesy of
beautiful volumetric effects and ambient
occlusion only add to the gorgeous photo
realism haven’t gotten around today yet
pack what am I suppose to say number 5
rage engine
Rockstar is one of the most well known
developers amongst gamers and non-gamers
alike and their in-house engine powers
many of their recent successes it’s
played a crucial role in the creation of
their detailed worlds like the gritty
Los Angeles underworld of LA noire or
the fictionalized version of Los Angeles
in Grand Theft Auto 5 it also uses
euphoria for character animation and
bullet for physics both of which help to
make their worlds into reactive and
believable places too late car number 4
in tech 3 this engine has been seen in a
variety of iterations but none of them
were quite as successful as this one
assuming we get back to battalion in
this role and junkyard what do I tell
them it made an impressive debut in the
FPS quake 3 arena where it showcased
nicer curves than anything else that
could be produced at the time
it loads beautiful 3d models in the md3
format using vertex movements which
allows for more complex and less shaky
animations then it’s MD to predecessor
but it wasn’t all about the frags though
as it also powers the earliest version
of Call of Duty and some of the best
Star Wars games ever made number three
CryEngine series prime tech made a big
splash among gamers with their debut far
cry and their engine certainly helped
yes yes sir meow
used for its famed visuals it brought
the terrains of the games South Pacific
archipelago setting to life even better
its ability to function without
third-party middleware allows it to
produce equally incredible physics sound
and animations CryEngine 2 was almost
too much for most pcs to handle but cry
3 scaled the requirements back a bit
while still pushing the shiny new tech
to its limits achieved with CryEngine 3
number 2 source engine valve is
responsible for some of the most unique
and creative titles seen in gaming
recently and they also created one of
the most useful engines it first showed
its capabilities in the action of
counter-strike source and half-life 2
where it allowed for realistic
interactions with environments as well
as lifelike depictions of skeletal
structures localizable lip-sync and
groundbreaking physics Gordon Freeman
it’s incredible you made it even better
its scalability allowed it to produce
these features on less powerful pcs and
the Xbox 360 good before we get to our
number one pick let’s take a look at
some honorable mentions
it’s a kind of justice number one Unreal
Engine 3 let’s go this engine has become
among the most used in games for good
reason just as it fully deserves its
place on the top of our list not what I
was expecting that’s the idea
effectively simulating soft body objects
such as hair and cloth or using its
rendering capabilities for soft shadows
it’s practically peerless and it’s C++
coding makes it highly portable you’ll
want to see this some of the best game
series of the last generation were on
the Unreal Engine including the Arkham
games the Bioshock games and Gears of
War chances are you’ve played an Unreal
Engine 3 series and you didn’t even know
it you were such an interesting specimen
raid reah
do you realize that do you agree with
our list yes sir which video game engine
brought your favorite games to life for
more pretty job 10s published every day
