Evolution of RenderWare Engine Games 1996-2018

[@BaseplateSRB]

This engine did everything from FPS to football

[@Omabatfartsbruh]

from open world to racing

[@psychedeliccarrie5921]

This engine was the Unity of it's day.

[@現実逃避39]

T.D_Mater ok

[@aditchannel6826]

wasn't as broken as Unity though.

[@nickpinkowski]

@@aditchannel6826 have you even used unity? bad game devs doesnt mean bad engine

[@aditchannel6826]

@@nickpinkowski I haven't. But even the good games made from it feels jank, and often times poorly optimized. It just a basic entry-level game engine. With all due respect to the Unity Users, I don't think you would have used it for more serious projects.

[@nickpinkowski]

@@aditchannel6826 if game feels like a junk isnt it the game developer's fault? I will tell you, it is. Unity is easy to learn, hard to master, thats why so many shitty developers use it. You can't call the engine shit because of beginners publishing their games. The shitty engine is for example used in games of Bethesda or such games as American Truck Simulator etc. These engines look like they are 10 years behind in terms of technology (ATS got ambient occlusion just couple days ago...). Im switching to Unreal for my next game due to Nanite and Lumen in UE5 but after so many years with unity I cant call it a shitty engine, its great and powerful although lacks some of the features

[@X-Man64]

This engine literally carried the industry for like a decade.

[@BratislavMetulski]

For consoles yes. Pc it was quake and unreal engine

[@dava_arvarabi]

Great video mate, there's just two mistakes I noticed. Both GTA LCS and VCS wasn't made on RenderWare. It was built on a propietary game engine made by Rockstar Leeds (Possibly a prototype/primitive version of Rockstar's RAGE Engine.) Sure by functional aspect, they all have the same characteristics with earlier RW GTA. But the assets weren't compatible on RenderWare.

[@MVeryzon]

Him mistakes are acceptable once in that games a lot of RW code has been used. That engine is called Leeds Engine, a kind of blend of RW with Gamebryo. And yea, perhaps it was a first step into RAGE.

[@tynao2029]

its just stolen/reverse engineered RenderWare, same with Quake and Unreal engines how they get copied for "new" engines like the COD series, which was designed on id Tech

[@playerzhero968]

Yes, Leeds Engine in GTA LCS and VCS

[@Zakiev_Omar]

actual they bought the licence and rebuild it from ground up like most of today like cryengine 3.4 or was it 3.2 that amazon bought and named it to lamberyard

[@Zakiev_Omar]

plus if criterion is bought by ea criterion might openly brought renderware free to use and make games into it like unity and unreal doing right now

[@sanicfanguy]

There were so many games built using RenderWare but most people only remember it for the GTA games...

[@ElNano9620]

And mortal kombat too, deception is considered best game of mk

[@ElNano9620]

nope, ask anyone that played all games, they will say deception is the best one

[@ElNano9620]

@fuck you In your opinion*

[@verchelliezequiel]

@@ElNano9620 jajajajajajaajjajajaa armaggedon win easy

[@Tears24]

I remember it for gta,mk,and Tony hawk series

[@MegasXLR]

Some of the best games of all time were made using RenderWare, respect forever :)

[@mylifeisfunny8911]

imagine a simple game engine covered a whole generation's digital entertaintment needs...

[@acetown2263]

not hard to imagine, unity and unreal basically already do that today.

[@miguelangeljaja4293]

Sonic' Tony Hawk? Spongebob? GTA? And more? I can't believe this engine was at the top of an era. Even Mafia 2 started developing in it. Unfortunately and as always, EA ruins the fun for everybody.

[@rakeshpriyanka154]

What ea had done even after purchasing renderware , still their company is roasted so much and can't top ever😂😂

[@IkesDaddelbox]

I never knew the engine was this versatile. But Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories don't run on RenderWare because Electronic Arts bought it, I believe. It's a custom engine that runs most of RenderWare's codes. Bully was Rockstar's last game with this engine.

[@FadenBlues]

The leeds engine is a modified version of renderware engine which bully gta lcs and vcs and manhunt 2 and i think it was used to make rage engine along with gta sa's version of renderware

[@Jerry_Levon]

@@FadenBlues renderware bullying gta, watch at grammar 😂

[@FadenBlues]

@@Jerry_Levon english isn't everyone's first language dumbass not everyone speaks english properly

[@gabetheborkingdog5985]

It wasn't even a game engine actually, it was meant for canon graphic designing and animating.

[@Pokaroquai]

Can't imagine just how it's going to be if someone made an animation with RenderWare that would be look wonderful

[@petercampi2840]

Yeah, and OpenGL wasn't a gaming API, it was designed for 3D modeling and rendering software (John Carmack changed that).

[@mrmunkee]

Battlefield 2 Modern Combat only used Renderware for the AI path finding, but the game didn't run on it. People think the game ran on Renderware because of the splash screen, or the Refractor engine like BF2 on PC, but the devs actually created a new engine for Modern Combat specifically for consoles since Refractor was too much for the consoles to power. This engine they created for BF2 Modern Combat is the first implementation/ground work for what would later become the Frostbite engine, first used under that name in Battlefield Bad Company. This info came from one of the lead devs that worked on BF2MC.

[@MrSammersELsoho]

So many games used this engine it really defined next gen for 6th gen console thirdparty games not a bumpmap in sight.

[@petercampi2840]

Which is frankly a weird statement to make since RenderWare 3.7 (and possibly earlier) has bump mapping built in.

[@KareemHillJr]

8:36 is what you're looking for.

[@XZ-III]

no not really

[@JmKrokY]

No

[@ytanonymity3585]

Im looking for this 15:38 and 18:00

[@MusicandGame23]

GTA 3 RenderWare engine look like Unity 3

[@tHeWasTeDYouTh]

5:57 the jump in graphics in Manhunt 1 to Max Payne 2 is amazing Yourself!Fitness was made on renderware.....lol only remember because the woman on the cover

[@Heat7208]

I still enjoy Manhunt's dark graphics as much as Max Payne 2's especially the blue-ish atmosphere at night it has.

GTA 3D (III, VC, SA) are the king of RenderWare Engine Games

[@aaadj2744]

BLACK and Burnout Paradise when it come to visual, physic and graphically considering how Criterion did pushed the engine to its limit.

[@427Cabriolet]

@@aaadj2744 Burnout 3 too

[@itz_mario.]

To me, Renderware is Better than Unreal Engine and Unity Cuz it is still good even after 1000 years

[@iamajustababa2000s]

🤣🤣

[@ACHEESEDANISHZ]

Not better. Great for it's time, however an absolute pain to actually work with.

[@Zakiev_Omar]

Dave Mirra freestyle bmx 2000 was my game and that was the day i started learning programming and modeling damn those old times

[@ytanonymity3585]

BLACK and Burnout Revenge & Paradise made me impress with this engine, even more. They looks good with it and aged well compared to other game

[@KannX]

Black is insanely great looking game for PS2. It's like generation ahead in terms of graphics.

[@BreadCroissant]

Anyone came here to see RenderWave because GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition is going to be change Unreal Engine?

[@spyfreakm1]

Thank EA for no longer seeing this engine again.

[@MGLNSL]

[@allancandaza]

Yep

[@InhabitantOfOddworld]

0:27 now that's a blast of nostalgia

[@gonzalot.605]

The PS2 / GameCube library would not have been the same without this engine. I hope someday the source code gets released to the public.

[@JmKrokY]

I did not even know Burnout Paradise still used Renderware 🗿

You used the wrong version of BFBB. Only the console versions run on Renderware.

[@CozMyN]

thanks EA for killing the greatest engine of all times :(

[@rakeshpriyanka154]

Remember your gta started from renderware to rage. So if there would no renderware, no gta series would not existed. Old classic

[@UltraCenterHQ]

No, that just means they would've just used a different engine or made the rage engine more earlier than in our timeline

[@rakeshpriyanka154]

@@UltraCenterHQ they would have used but there was no such reason for them to make their own engine until 2005 , if ea would not have purchased the renderware license , then I am telling you , gta v and gta IV would have been on renderware only but with advanced technology upgradations
