new cyberpunk in ue5

[Kosta]

what do you think about the new cyberpunk being made in unreal engine?
I think it was not a good idea, since most games in ue run totally catastrophically.

can't wait to play cyberpunk in stutterfest engine 5, gonna be great, will also love how blurry it looks, will especially love seeing the same textures ive seen in 30 different other games, simply can't wait for it to be on ue5.

It is true that UE5 (or at least the games that use it) is/are unoptimized and has its problems, but on the other hand REDEngine is INCREDIBLY limiting and constraining for a game like Cyberpunk. You can see that by all the jank that is still present in the game. This is also the main reason they created PL and decided that it will be the only expansion. UE5 will at least provide them more freedom and will be easier to use for mechanics and whatnot. The sequel is probably at least 5 years away anyways, so time will tell

Yeah my experience of UE5 hasn't been great, sure it looks pretty but the performance tax is kinda horrendous. For example Black Myth Wukong isn't anywhere near as vast and complex as Cyberpunk, but it seems far more demanding for some ungodly reason (plus many textures are down right awful). Also game play responsiveness is not great either.

I guess by the time Cyberpunk sequel comes to UE5 hopefully things will have matured, or we'll have to brute force our way to playable frame rates with the hardware of the time.

I'd rather they didn't to be honest, i like diversity with game engines. If all titles use UE5, it'll become difficult to tell games apart and become very bland pretty quickly.

ue5 is by far the worst engine i see.
ok maybe for consoles it is good, but for pc it is horror

[Songbird]

my new home but in ue5, can't wait

I dunno, I'm pretty optimistic about it. Sure, some games struggle due to optimization issues. Many studios are venturing into this engine for the first time and it will get better over time. I trust in CDPR's decision on this one.

[MrSoul]

wait they actually are?

Oh no....CDRed, why? Your engine is fine...just needed some TLC...

witcher 4 is ue5 too and i bet that engine will be alien to the ue5 version we see today

I mean...its more than we all got better computers...it's still pretty jank at the core

UE has amazing potential which is why everyone wants to use it. But they have GOT to sort their issues out. They have the funds and the partners. No excuse.

Hi, i think they made the right choice to move on from home engine, considering the industrial perspective...

The good reason on technical aspect

All game schools make their training around the bigger engines (unreal / unity 3d) so the studios can directly use devs they hire and not spend payed work time on training them just on their own engine...

Engines are (more or less modular, considering each ones specs) tools to help devs with more or less parts of a project depending on (and not only):

• overall complexity of the project
  
• size of world to render and number of objects (you, NPCs, buildings, vegetation, etc...)
  
• rendering settings and expected hardware
  
• complexity of things to update in background in the world
  
• avoid the most common programming aspect to generate game window, 3D initializing, 3D/2D API for UIs
  
• etc...

Talking of UE5 you can add:

• nav mesh, map...
  
• modular tools and engine parts...
  
• pathfinging
  
• simple human NPC animations
  
• Application graph and being able to use code

And there is no restriction for moding, number of UE4 games are (conan exiles for example)

Nevertheless, you can't avoid this because UE5 won't do it for you

• Knowing c++ and shader programing and how to optimize your code
  
• Putting settings which are realistic considering actual PCs used by gamers not overmessing ones (ultra whatever...)
  
• good use of multithreading
  
• rewrite parts of the engine to optmise them considering size of the zone and number of elements to manage in real time
  
• making good UI design
  
• creating good and equibrated game mechanics
  
• etc...

To conclude

yes it's a goog move if you have good dev and project management practices and it allow you also to have Epic help with their engine ans so to concentrate efforts on your core game fonctionalities...
Just a reminder: Epic and CDPR work together in order to modify certain parts of UE5 for CP2...

[Chaosolous]

I think it will be the right choice.

Well beside hoping it will be optimized unlike other ue5 games i also wish next cyberpunk and the witcher 4 graphic looks like hellblade 2 since it also using ue5.
And hellblade 2 actually pretty optimized if you gpu have 6gb vram. No a lot of stutter or crash

S tier move. It means it will be playable in VR. The LukeRoss Cyberpunk VR mod is neat, but nothing beats Native Stereo

most games made on Unreal Engine 4 and 5 end up looking the same. There's this lifeless vibe you get right from the start.

Thsoe games usually are multiplatform.
