This is an April Fools right?

I just found out about it and watched the trailer and it looks like it was done by Darth Trailers.

The new thing added to Smite 2 is auto build and auto level? Wasn't that in Smite 1 for over 10 years? Lmao. Nothing new. Still crappy visual style so the visual upgrade isn't even noticeable just more saturated colors

If that is all you know about smite 1 -> Smite 2... You should read more or watch more yt clips.

Theres alot more changing. Crossplatform on more titles aswell. But sure they cannot please everyone.

Smite 1 had autobuild yes.

Getting rid of Physical / Magical stats
Better physics
Better cloth simulation
Better effects
Real time lighting
PBR Materials
Nanite
Widget UI / Hud/Menus instead of flash
+++++

"Better physics

PBR Materials
Nanite"

This is all Unreal Engine 5 stuff, and they had to do very little to get it working.

Also i read the store page, and thats all they highlighted besides the visual upgrades which don't look great because their art style is pretty cringe. As it has always been.
So if all thats different is UI updates, which dont have to happen in an engine upgrade, Visual updates that are given with an engine upgrade, crossplatform which can also happen with out an engine upgrade.

This isn't a sequel then, because theres little gameplay impact. Maybe physical and magic stat getting remove is more than I think, but i doubt it.

Long story short if they don't want to post the actual changes to their store page than theres not that much. Not going to research a game for hours to learn about it when it should be on the store page. Especially one with a company of abandoning games and poor upkeep of games.

My brother you don't have a clue about game development. It is mostly unreal engine 5 stuff, true, but smite is running on unreal engine 3

Soo making every
hud, item, menu , icons, art, Animations, models , remodels, skeletons, new code and stuff is just "Very little to get it working"?...

If you dont like the artstyle of smite, then i dont even know why you are on the games forum man. Dont like it, dont play it. But game developement has ALOT more under the hood than just drag and drop from a engine from 2006 to 2024.

Even materials that old dont support the new standard.

smite 1 will still be here but for how long thats the better question.

i wouldnt be surprised if it gets another 2 or so years of content but definately expect to have to jump ship to smite 2 at some point i would say

If paid testimonies for a game that isn't even out yet don't say everything you need to know... goodluck with Smite 2

I mean it is possible for sure. But then again, same can be said for any review ever. You'd never know.

These are reviewers who've gotten access to an early build. There were playtesters for it at SWC. So it not being out yet doesn't really matter.

These are quotes taken from the reviews. They're not the entire review. If you look up the reviews themselves they say much more about the game.

u saying " This is all Unreal Engine 5 stuff, and they had to do very little to get it working" shows how little uk about game development

[PHATASMA]

You have 800+ games. How are you bored enough to troll a forum for a game you never planned on playing to begin with? FOH, clown.

[stabbedbyapanda]

Lmao, this makes me so happy. At how little yall know. You all sound like solo indie devs, this is a team, they don't make things one at a time.

"Oh they hit subdivide on a character model that already exist to give it more vertices to be handled by nanite, this is so hard to do for 100+ characters"
