It\u2019s a marked departure for both Respawn and Electronic Arts, with Respawn using a heavily modified Source engine for both Titanfall 2 and Apex Legends, while most of EA\u2019s in-house titles use DICE\u2019s Frostbite 3 engine.<\/p>\n<p>Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is a little different, although it <em>\u201cwasn\u2019t much of a choice\u201d<\/em> said Stig Asmussen, director. It stems from Respawn\u2019s formation as a studio, where hiring developers with experience of Unreal Engine 4 was nice and straightforward.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThere were a couple of other options out there, and remember we\u2019re not a part of EA at this point so Frostbite wasn\u2019t even an option, so I started tinkering around with it and was \u201cWow this is really powerful for what an individual developer can do with it, imagine what a whole team can do with it\u201d. So we just pushed forward with it and we are very happy with the decision,\u201d <\/em>said Stig Asmussen during a chat with Game Informer. <\/p>\n<p>He goes on to say there was no mandate from EA to use Frostbite so Respawn were free to just switch to UE4 if they wished.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><ins class=\"adsbygoogle scrolling-ad-item\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0052787453283862\" data-ad-slot=\"2741061911\"><\/ins><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIt made sense for the team, you know,&#8221;\u00a0<\/em>Respawn CEO Vince Zampella agreed.<em> &#8220;So we are hiring up for a new team. It\u2019s easier to find people that have Unreal Engine 4 experience, it was an engine that fit what we were kind of trying to do, instead of trying to adapt the Source Engine over. In evaluating all the engines that were available to us, this is the one that the team felt was the best choice,\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Asmussen kind of sums it all up though when he says <em>\u201cI don\u2019t know why people give a shit. You can make a good game pretty much any engine if you\u2019ve got the right people.\u201d <\/em>This reminds us of all those folks who instantly assume any game built in Unity is going to be shonky or run poorly. There\u2019s no real basis for it, and in terms of Jedi: Fallen Order, it sounds as if it was just easier to hire developers with plentiful Unreal Engine 4 experience.<\/p>\n<p>Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is out on November 15th for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>System Requirements Low vs Ultra Screenshots GPU Performance Chart CPU List That Meet System Requirements&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2039,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[971,972,323,973,974],"class_list":["post-2038","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-game-news","tag-fallen","tag-jedi","tag-order","tag-star","tag-wars"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2038","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2038"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2038\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2039"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2038"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2038"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2038"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
