Youtube Video About Unreal Engine 4 My experience with game design is limited to the source engine and crappy JRPGs, but, it all depends on the polygon count of the assets. This task would be immense but pretty doable. Just plop the assets in and rewire the scripts / code. That is the problem, the code. But It should be easy to stumble through even with someone using youtube tutorial videos. Coders won't admit it but 70% is copy and paste Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shini 251 Posted May 27, 2018 (edited) At the least, I think what we can expect is just better optimization, some neat graphics maybe here and there and it being easier for the devs to roll out new content. I don't think you should expect true to life or movie like graphics just because you hear unreal engine 4. I mean, fortnite is unreal engine 4 lol.

LUST 215 Posted May 27, 2018 Optimization/Performance Better rendering/Content Creation Singular code-base between platforms In short, no more needing a potato to actually run APB better than a beastly gaming rig. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ninetenduh 40 Posted May 27, 2018 No, I can assure you it won't look as bombastic as that. The Limitations of APB are clear, you cannot run the game with such a High poly count of character and objects, it would counter the thought of optimization. You sure can Expect a Difference, not as big as some might hope but that only due to the fact and I hope LO keeps that in mind that the game stays Playable for a vast majority of people. As Shini said, you can expect better Optimisation, and the move is needed, desperately, a lot of things in the original APB code weren't available back then, RTW had to basically create their own engine based on the Unreal Engine to make APB work. With a Switch to a Newer Engine, the Developer will have it far easier to deal with Problems, add content more frequently and so on. Currently, it's impossible to do anything and simply wasted time. All we can do is wait, all these changes won't be coming anytime soon. We can be lucky if it's this year. Haven't worked much with UE4, all my experience with Game development was in BF1942 and a bit of UE2.something. And some other lesser known in-house engines in some Private server setting. And all that is like 10+ years ago. But overall the game should with UE4 in place be a more well-rounded slightly better looking Massively better working Game.

VickyFox 353 Posted May 27, 2018 APB's graphics would be optimised but I think it's more the game mechanics, features and standard operations that would see the most benefit. It does open the door for better quality models and textures for future content though, but don't expect previous content to get a total make over so it beautiful in 4k any time soon.

MoeEveryWeek 34 Posted May 27, 2018 (edited) I don't really ask too much for the engine upgrade but all I really want to see is better optimization and maybe more physics implements, like (when we get longer hair), wavy hair, car bumpers hanging from one side after getting hit, jiggle physics and fluent movements. (Still waiting for the speed vaulting and jumping and grabbing a ledge to come in) (Oh yeah we need a better stance for car surfing, the static one is buggy) Edited May 27, 2018 by MoeEveryWeek 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yourrandomnobody74 106 Posted May 27, 2018 As Matt mentioned, APB on UE4 is really far off. The current goal is to release a proper anticheat, then getting the game to UE3.5 so that they can release content. Then they'll start the huge process of writing APB to UE4.
