Its arrogant Devs who buy an unsupported Alpha version and think they "know better" on how to make it work right. The Hero Engine is actually seems like a pretty good engine platform from other things Ive seen. 2- Only Zenimax knows if their in-house game engine is actually a "custom built from the ground for ESO" engine or just a modified version of HE. They say its not, but there are some contradictions to that. Will have to wait for the actual game to see.

The Hero Engine is actually a very good engine when its COMPLETE. When a devs buys a alpha version and decides to finish it is when it becomes an issue. Playing: Defiance, Rift, and War Thunder.

Originally posted by Maelwydd Originally posted by Golelorn This is not a sandbox MMO... It's also pushing the definition of a TES game... same way WoW pushed the definition of a warcraft game.. just taking the existing game format isn't always the best way to make a MMO.. granted TES games has a much better foundation for an MMO than say the warcraft series... I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg

I doubt they would be allowed to claim they built it from the ground up if it was actually a modified version of the hero engine. It's not like the guys that made the hero engine wouldn't want the good press after swtor

This should say "moved away" from the hero engine. The demo they showed last June at e3 was running in the Hero Engine... You licensed HeroEngine a long time ago. What role did the Hero Engine play in the development of ESO? We started ZeniMax Online from scratch, with no employees and no technology. We had to build everything ourselves. It takes a long time to write game engines, especially MMO engines, which are inherently more complicated than typical single-player ones. So, we decided to license the HeroEngine to give us a headstart. It was a useful tool for us to use to prototype areas and game design concepts, and it provided us the ability to get art into the game that was visible, so we could work on the game’s art style. Our plan is for ESO to be a world class MMO, with the most advanced social features found in any MMO to date – so while we were prototyping the game on HeroEngine, we were simultaneously developing our own client, server, and messaging layer that were specifically designed with ESO in mind. Think of HeroEngine as a whiteboard for us – a great tool to get some ideas in the game and start looking at them while the production engine was in development. If your idea of a Sandbox is open FFA Full Loot PvP, full crafted world with minimal support for anything combat then your sandbox ideas are bad! Sandbox means open world, non-linear gaming PERIOD!

Originally posted by Golelorn This is not a sandbox MMO... Thank god. We don't need a game based on one of the most popular and lore rich IP's bastardized by making it something only about 47 people world wide would play. Some sandbox elements are ok, but for the most part sandbox play is total shit!
