Guild Wars Game Engine ?

by Areal Person · in General Discussion · 09/01/2006 (12:00 pm) · 2 replies

Does anyone know what engine Guild Wars uses ?

Is it a custom built in-house, or other ?


Just checking,

Thanks

It was an in-house engine.

EDIT:
"ArenaNet built its own proprietary graphics engine for the game, written by cofounder and programmer Mike O'Brien, who previously worked on Warcraft III and World of Warcraft. The environments are lush and detailed, and there are excellent lighting effects, including a soft glow that permeates the entire game. We were shown some of the monsters, including shambling zombies and a menacing and huge bone dragon, all of which looked impressive. But the really impressive thing about the graphics engine--and the game itself--is that it's all streaming from the Internet."
