Next Generation Games

What I want to know can torque make a next generation game? Like Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter and the characters as real as Fight Night round 3 characters? I had my eye on torque for a couple of months now and I seen some remarkable games like Poacher by Peter Khojasteh and Exis Inc and Terra: Formations by Blake Lowry and Star Cave Studios and the latest Legions made with TSE tech Demo just to name a few. One thing I don't understand alot about is the character models I heard the Fight Night character are really High polygon characters like 100,000 but I don't know if that is true. What I want to know is what's the highest polygon count I can go with torque for the main character I heard 10k and most use 5k but I heard of people that got 20k for the main character the game I'm working on is the camera view of resident evil 4, can you script that camera view with torque? Thanks for your time, I think this is the best community that will help you program your own game.

Yes, but you also have to remember that each of the games you've mentioned had a huge budget, scores of programmers and artists. The limitation isn't the engine technology, though the state of completedness in TSE will be a limiting factor for non-programmers (Poacher as mentioned had programmers working in the engine to get a large number of the future TSE milestones into it for their game). It will take a lot of time and elbow grease to get a game of similar quality done.

But even on engines which allow high poly counts, you can't go will-nilly with your artwork. You will still need to work and refine it.

You can access the camera, and the Advanced Camera resource will be quite a boon for a RE4-esque title. You could also look at the pathed cameras in the feature demo for an idea on cinematics.
