Not sure why the tweet at the bottom of the article is the crimson driver one?
I know it's called Snowdrop, but does the engine remind anyone else of what Dice promised would be coming with Frostbite when BF3 came about ? Like, remember all the pre-release videos about the tech that never got put in the game, and some of the pre-rendered stuff that's in BF3, The division looks like that but kinda on steroids.. and with less baked in lighting.
Because it's like they delivered on what was promised for BF3 by Dice, only better. It does feel a lot like the Frostbite engine... I'm wondering if they share some third party tech that Massive iterated on more, and actually managed to get working, that Dice simply couldn't... (proper volumetric fog, day/night cycles, particles) . Stuff that Dice has obviously polished off a bit more with the likes of Battlefront.
I know dice is super cagey about frostbite and modders because of all the third party and acquired tech in it, I just wonder if Massive got a hold of it to...
They're just _so_ similar in feel and the way some stuff looks.
If they did Massive have done a freakin' stellar job of making it look better... But then Massive have always been awesome
