General Gaming Next Gen Hair Demo on Frostbite Engine

Consider, for a moment, how good the hair on your Javelin will look! 

[Brian]

Seems like a waste of resources to update an engine no one wants to use. 

[Keyser_Soze]

This is clearly for the next FIFA and all the women's teams they put such detail into.

Glad this is being addressed.  We have been saying for a while the major problem with EA games was the hair.  

[XxEvil AshxX]

Braidable pubes or don't bother.

Womans World Cup does start in a few weeks

That was creepy with the faceless mannequins. 

[Mercury33]

Ugh just throw that piece of shit engine in the trash already. 

[Spork3245]

That’s incredibly impressive and beats hair works by a lot. I wonder what the performance cost is, though?

[TwinIon]

Frostbite continues to impress. It's a shame it's so difficult to make good games with it.

 

EA should take a lesson from Amazon and see if your product is good enough to compete on the market. Licence Frostbite out and see how the market responds. If no one wants to use it because there's no support or because it lacks features, then maybe those are reasons that your internal teams don't want to use it either. They can use that feedback to make the decision to make it competitive or not, but if you're pouring resources into something like this, they should justify that investment vs what's available.

If anyone should be licensing out their engine, it is Sony with Decima.

99 cents. Unfortunately EA is that guy at the Burger King counter that's like "Hey! I have 99 cents!" What they don't show is the cashier being like "hey dumbshit, it's $1.07 after tax."

What happens with a headshot dough

 

[Dre801]

Just what all the devs forced to use this engine asked for, better hair.

[Spawn_of_Apathy]

How much worse does this hair update make load times and menu/inventory UIs? 

[Reputator]

Looks great, regardless of the politics going on in the background. About 17 years ago it took cutting edge technology to do less realistic hair than this in Monsters Inc with offline rendering. It's cool to see strong indicators like this showing how far we've come.

[Spawn_of_Apathy]

Why donI get the feeling they were going to fully render an actual human, but Frostbite is such shit they could only get a wooden doll in the 18 months they’d been working on this demo.  

[Xbob42]

Great, can't wait to see it look 50% as good in 7 years.
