How does FromSoftware release AAA games so frequently? Elden Ring boss says "we are just blessed with a great staff" that the studio empowers and retains (www.gamesradar.com)

Quality of the code base? Dunno.

Am a professional game developer I can guarantee you that the quality of the code base of the average AAA game is no better than a small studio. It's at times a lot worse, it's just got better documentation or a bigger knowledge base. I hear the current call of duty engine is a nightmare to work on.

Does it still contain remnants of Quake 3 or have they finally gotten rid of them?

[–] boletus@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago

They can't strip it out cos it's the foundation of the engine, and I know they still use some form of the original engine so it's probably still there.
