#Warsow id tech 2 upgrade
Like, seriously, these guys had the entire FPS genre at their fingertips with the definitive FPS engine, but then they gave a bunch of guys lifetime licenses to their engine and the freedom to modify it as they wish and then redistribute it (Best demonstrated with the Source Engine), and then when Id Tech 4 came along completely screwed up and gave their licensees no reason to upgrade to a new version full of a bunch of albatrosses and other technological gimmicks that have aged poorly, resulting in the once non-factor Epic suddenly eating their lunch with Unreal 2, as anyone looking for an engine upgrade went to Unreal instead of IT4 - And anyone who didn't make that switch already had a heavily modified and upgraded version of IT2 or 3 that they had no need to renew licensing for. Honestly, you're only proving my point further about Id Software's (And more importantly, John Carmack's) complete naivety and lack of business acumen that led to them being bought by Bethesda in order to survive instead of being an independent studio able to be sustained by licensing Id Tech. Also I find it hilariously ironic that it's a sequel that transitioned from Unreal to Id Tech - in light of the fact that historically, game sequels transitioned from Id Tech to Unreal after Id completely shit the bed with Id Tech 4. Dishonored 2, as probably the single most unique game to use Id Tech - Given that the rest of the list of Id Tech games is largely composed of FPSes, FPSes, and more FPSes. See "Silicon Knights Engine".īut anyway, the Cawwadoody games are hardly the best games using the Id Tech family of engines. Semantics like this (And other factors pertaining to the fall of Id Tech from its once lofty position of being the FPS engine) are exactly why Epic mandates that any derivative of Unreal, no matter how infinitely removed from the original licensed code, is still referred to as Unreal. And of course, the "Creation Engine" is still Gamebryo, even with a billion and one modifications to it. Even the Source Engine is full of Id Tech 2's major trappings to this day.
