Apart from the spam
Can anybody else confirm that Unity3d is much faster than GameCore ?
or am I doing anything wrong ?
I simply dowloaded their demo's on my two Pc's one desktop and one mobile
Unity demo , the Island , seems to be more demanding in term of power than the GameCore's but it runs also much faster and I am not talking about just a few fps

It's improving over time as always, still poor in many areas. If you want documentation on a particular topic you can always ask for it. I think you can remap keys to anything you like but they seem content for users to work around this problem rather than fix it properly.

oh my, i watched a video on youtube...WOW i was soooo impressed! i downloaded it, but i dont want to get too involved. does it expire after 90 days? the website wasnt so clear about that. as impressive as it was, i dont see myself shelling out $1499 for the pro version.


My Famous Quotes: "Hip hop is like a virus, infecting everyone and everything around it. Every form of media has some way,shape or form, assimilated hip hop into it." It has also mutated into other strains like, trip hop, house, rap, gangster, and conscious forms. Once you are infected with it, its with you for life."

Sorry their video don't show a complete game as the FPS game that you can download with Unity with shaders , ennemies etc ... !
Only simple 3D art levels made y some 3D artist and a simple Arcade flying game with simple empty level !

I already flamed on their site saying they were money attracted before thinking of users a little. I was one of the first buyers of this engine in it's old version : Beyond Virtual Engine ! I see money rules again.


2. If you're a new buyer of GameCore you get 25% ($1125) and will be able to upgrade to GameCore 3.0 for 50% off that value.

That's not cheap at all !


For same price i would take Unity instead.
Because it is more powerfull/optimised and i really prefer Unity Script and tools/interface.
And you have possibility to easily program in C# or create your own custom panel for the world editor in C#.

Only few people use Gamecore, there only some topics in the showcase section, no real good game, and only some posts per months on that section.
Go to Unity Forum, lot of things and games each month on the Showcase forum laugh
Yeas, showcase forums is the thing that show you if lot or few people use the engine each month.

In the past, they didn't responded to user during long time, and today, they don't have lot of time to be on forums or
on the documentation !
Things have not changed a lot.

Im' not against them, it's just: Bring on a complete FPS like Unity' one and we will talk after that laugh

Well just my point of view.

The indie version doesn't expire at all. I wouldn't recommend buying the pro version, even with a discount it's expensive.

Well as we've said before, the attitude that 'nobody is using it so I won't either' is a vicious circle. It's a bit silly to tell people not to use it, and then complain there's no GameCore games to play as a direct result. Another vicious circle.

That's true , it is a vicious circle
However I was on GameCore side but I have been disappointed about performance
The Unity3d "Island" demo runs much faster than the GameCore "Island " demo and it is even much more complex

I bought the BV license 4 years ago and I have the 50% discount, but it is still expensive.

Finally I pre-order Unity 3.0 for EUR880.

Not sure why that would be, it's the other way around on my PC with GameCore being faster.
