Unity 5 Announced

For me, hell yes... I've been working on pushing Unity visually, and I am halfway there... this gives me a bit more legroom

 

Sooner than I thought!
Though I'm always looking forward to updates this whole new feature-set doesn't thrill me personally that much, besides the 64Bit-Support and the usage of the latest PhysX-Version.
Maybe it's my personal lack of knowledge but I'm developing right now a 2D game and as for the future I don't see us making 3D games anytime soon.
I for myself don't see the need for things like "Enlighten", which I'm amazed by, in the project. Of course I'm superhappy for the guys who KNOW how to handle these new features and make great games

I rather hoped instead of adding cool stuff, UT would literally UPDATE Unity. As said above the 64Bit Support and PhysX is the way to go and I could kiss David Helgason for that, but I would do more nasty stuff with him if he'd also got Unity the latest Mono Version (not only the new Version of the Editor itself).

 

Yeah, what about native support .NET 4.5? Currently all Unity projects are 3.5 by default, but in 4.5 apreas new tasty async things like Task, Async and much more...

 

@ Neptune, were doing a Witcher / Dragon age style RPG, So I'll take whatever I'll get. Funnily enough I was just about to dump Unity in favour of UE4 and start the project again. The only thing visually I wanted to do with Unity before was push it off a cliff.

@ BTstone

You'd kiss David? I'd sit him down at a candlelit dinner with the finest wine, clap on some barry white. Wear whatever he wanted, and jump on the spinning bed and scream enlighten me ..

Too far?

LOL

 

If it happens, do take pictures! Otherwise you're just the overly obsessed stalker fanboy.

 

That's it? I have a more practical approach. Not going to say what it is. I don't want anyone to steal my mojo! And yes I WILL hide cameras with a live video feed!

 

Well that caused a belly laugh , nice to see some humour around here.

Has anyone seen the UE4 mobile demo? If you can do that with Unity it'll be amazing! So I'd be inclined not to worry too much.

 

Hmm not sure if David should be filing restraining orders or open his schedule for dating.

 

And the "dynamic" type and named arguments, which let me write C# code a little more like Python. With (pseudo-)dynamic typing, I can do much more clever things with data-oriented game design.

 

regarding webgl, video from mozilla:

Awesome!

 

And it shows the URL for Unity 5 at the end: http://unity3d.com/5 (results in forbidden)

 

Spamming the F5 Button: http://unity3d.com/5

Edit: Ninja'd by VIC20

 

The Mozilla video also gives us the Unity 5 logo, as well as a link to this page, which currently says "forbidden!"

 

fortunately google somehow has the page already in its cache: http://goo.gl/ZiCIS3

 

Damn it stop that, it get's me every time ahahah!..

 

Déjà vu. I think I fell for this yesterday already.

Hype is building up !!!

 

Some german sites released Unity 5 news but I think nothing new:

http://www.itopnews.de/2014/03/unity-5-neu-mit-64bit-support-und-physical-shading/

http://www.newsslash.com/n/2595-unity-5-soll-ohne-plug-in-im-firefox-nutzbar-sein

 

Yeah, at this time, it's just every website showing the same info...

Hey 1 more post for your 1000th post!

 

too late!

 

There was a great chance to post another link, so I could not resist. Oh, BTW: here is a website that will automatically refresh and even send you an email instantly as soon as more things about Unity 5 are revealed: http://goo.gl/ZiCIS3

 

Hahaha, not falling for that this time around! >)

 

Lots of random thoughts here, I like this thread
Anyways, Unity 4.x have some GREAT updates to come before we see 5. I know nothing about a Unity 5 release or pre-order, if that is leaked news we should know on Unite...

 

WELL PLAYED UNITY, WELL PLAYED.

ENLIGHTEN? YES!
NEW PHYSX? YES!
64 BIT? YES!
+OTHER STUFF!


I confess I am in Unreal 4's evaluation program and as our budget rises we indeed were going to switch for the next title. Now it's a complicated issue, and we have reasons not to.

What we are looking for now is a dramatically improved Garbage Collector. That for me, seals the deal. And if streaming textures/media can come further down the line, then we're talking about overtaking the competition, which Unity 5 does not quite do yet

Always strive for greater.

 

When is Unite?

 

The Upgrade is $600, store page just went live.
