an engine that is too over used

baldrian

Looking at alot of screens i cant help but notice this game looks almost exactly like DDO. Now all im going to say about ddo is that... i have nothing great to say... so ill keep it to myself BUT, I feel turbine is really missing the boat here and using old TECH/CODE. Youll notice there almost forcing out the release before VG and other third gen mmos... and thats for a reason i am afraid. Pains me to think that a lotr mmo... could be given a second class effort.

Personally, I think LOTRO engine isn't the same as AC2 and DDO. I don't know why, but if you just stare closely at one of the wolves in LOTRO, it just doen't look much like DDO.

Well, most engines can be tweaked to the point where you can't even tell. Why do you think most games use the Unreal engine?

LotRO

DDO

Of course they will be similar; same company, made at the same time, and had a few devs going back and forth between the games. But I think LotRO will pull ahead when it launches.
