Red Bull Interviews Kazunori

In that case, I believe almost all racing game studios use their own custom engine.

If this is the case then Kaz isn't referring then to the increased workload relative to other developers in the genre he competes directly with, but in genres that have nothing to do with race/driving simulation?

Probably.

BETA was cancelled because they are running short on time. Who is to tell that time is enough ?

Looks like the delay is highly possible.

 

[Griffith500]

Let me rephrase then. Which developers in the same genre as PD, i.e. driving and racing simulation, don't use their own game engines? Eg. T10, SMS, Kunos, Codemasters (all console racing devs).

They all use middleware; PD use very little, although Sony does a lot of the tools. Perhaps that's what he meant.

Certainly for sound, PD are one of the very few who don't outsource any of it or buy any of it in.

You know I do have to wonder, just what IS finished at this stage? By Kaz's own admissions and what we've seen..

Graphics - Not finished, 50 - 60% of what they want them to be
Sound - Not finished, supposedly only a handful of cars are where they want them
Cars shown at the event - Not all finished, some without interiors
Tracks at the event - not finished, going through huge changes daily
Spectator mode - 10% finished
Rally mode/system - They're not sure how it'll be implemented
Damage - Supposedly being worked on but not ready to be shown off

Last time I checked beta meant a feature complete piece of software that just required final polishing, bug-fixing and minor tweaks. Not this.

That then leads directly into the question, what will be finished on release day? With the time left, I'm guessing not even close to everything.

What do you mean ? There will be less than 140cars and 19 tracks ?

I do not think they need to shown everything. There is time for it to show and reveal details. Regarding gfx, sound, physics etc .. he is probably right. It is WIP. Look at Pcars for example also DC. These games have got lots of update post launch. This is not unusual and GT6 also got lot of updates

Wasn't one of ISI's engines shopped around a bunch last decade? Might be thinking of something else.

There have been a lot of complaints of the graphics, here he confirms the visuals aren't close to final.

I can't spell rebull, redbull there we go

It's Red Bull anyway XD

They do buy samples from Dyson though.

...Rebull? Who dat?

It's the all new shoe that you can liquify and drink if you're
running low on energy. Hitting stores next month...

I am not aware that it's associated with any of the console driving/racing games.

 

[Griffith500]

I am not aware that it's associated with any of the console driving/racing games.

I see that that's an important distinction in light of the historical use of bespoke hardware in consoles, but the two prominent consoles today are x86 with "only" custom driver layers and OSes. There's never been a better time to port ISIMotor to the consoles than there is now!

Race 07 I think uses it. That's the only one though, so as far as consoles it might as well be unique.
