WaterDragonL-KT Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Hey guys i was wondering what would happen to the graphics of aion in the future and how much would it cost to upgrade cryengine to the newest version. Maybe if the game is not dead we can fundraise some money for this cause Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arhangelos Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 They have already upgraded two other titles, Lineage II and Blade and Soul, so they should at some point do Aion too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaterDragonL-KT Posted April 22, 2020 Author Share Posted April 22, 2020 I think they dont even care about aion anymore and it is truly sad. Btw when did they update the graphics of other games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hallo-DN Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I dont know about Lineage but Blade and Soul unreal 4 engine hasn't been upgraded yet, Korean NCsoft too busy making mobile games. You can maybe expect B&S Na version to get unreal 4 in 1-2 years from now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm pretty sure upgrading from ue3 to eu4 is not that much of an issue as most of the code should still work. Changing from one ass old engine to a completely different one is rather unrealistic for a game like aion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aieryn-DN Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Isn't AION already Cryengine 3?, or is it still the old original Cryengine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Cost" means reprogramming what doesn't work and making the whole game either compatible with a newer engine or redesign a ton of things for the newer code. It has to do with everything from compatibility between engines and the new code they need to make it work. the way you ask it is as if they have to "buy" a new engine and simply mount it on the game or something. they make the games from scratch, it is the manpower they have to pay to do it not a static cost.

I haven't checked on BnS in a while, but the UE4 client (the upgrade from UE3) has/had an entirely separate server from the main game, where you had to start over, iirc.

Cyfur Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Seems NCsoft is releasing B&S using Unreal Engine 4 in Q3 this year. The Cryengine that drives Aion, is the highest lag engine in an MMORPG I have ever played. What gets me is ArenaNet, a division of NCsoft, wrote their own engine for Guildwars and Guildwars 2 and it totally blows away the Aion Cryengine. Try a World vs World siege in GW2 if you want to see what massive PvP looks like. So Aion could have been using the Guildwars engine for many years, no need to pay for Cryengine license.
