Surprisingly gunplay is actually decent. It's slightly heavier like Battlefield rather than CoD and guns have decent weight and feel behind them. Movement feels smooth and responsive and mantling over obstacles is fluid.

It's still kind of arcadey though, enemies show up with a name tag when you see them so you instantly know where enemies are and such, and being shot at in zero G is fucking hell because everything is muffled so you can't hear where the shot came from, and being shot at has the hit marker thing that all other FPS has but in zero G it's useless

>So it's not an entire gutting. It's an upgrade.
They have to throw away five years of work on CE 3.7 ("StarEngine"). Anything done in those "Bugsmashers" episodes: Completely wasted.
This de-motivates developers. Expect high profile leaves in 2017.

>>361634995
They still have access to the source code, if you think they're abandoning massive amounts of work on their version of CryEngine, you're insane.

Wake me up when 3.4 hits a year from now. Might be fun to actually play then

You'll be lucky if you get 3.1 this time next year

So they've already made the transition over and have been doing it for some time now then? I don't get what all the doom and gloom is, obviously they're switching for a reason

>>361634995
2-3 of those years were spent developing significant tools that streamlined a lot of development. Tools that were developed to work with Cryengine which will still be applicable with some modification as Lumberyard is the same architecture.

If anything a lot of those development videos seemed to give a glance into the frustrations the developers had on working within the limitations of Cryengine. This could also server as motivation that the game's about to finally open up and really let them freely develop.

It took them fucking 3-4 years to get rid of the USE prompt, that's how deeply embedded it was within Cryengine

That's exactly what an "engine switch" means.
As a software developer who has seen development hell projects from the inside:
If management made such an decision this late usually leads to everyone competent jumping ship. Nobody likes to see years of his own work being trashed.
Then it's just interns left trying to build something from the ruins, before the entire thing is finally scrapped.

>>361636090
It's not an engine switch in the way that going from Unity to CryEngine is. Lumberyard is a modified version of CryEngine with AWS integrated

I've moved projects from CryEngine to Lumberyard myself, sure I wasn't dealing with massive amounts of custom source code edits, but I didn't have Chris Roberts' resources either.

This is no big deal at all. They could have changed without letting us know desu and no one would have noticed

>>361636090
Fine, here's your (You)

>>361636090

It was not con artist Chris Roberts who did these edits. He WILL lose manpower over this. He already lost a complete team of artists.

Scam Citizen has 2-3 large dev teams working on game so that comparison seems irrelevant, the only dev team that is larger than them is EA's Bioware and Bioware Austin. Also Blizzard, Bethesda, Sega and 2k were simultaneously working on improving their game engine so it took time, Scam citizen already has a game engine and they just wasted a shit ton of time and money when they switch to LumberYard

If anyone one wants to try out the game in spite of the shitposting going on in this thread, there's a 48 hours trial going on.
