Unreal Engine 4. Most optimized engine when in the right hands. Bad performance? Its intentional.

[Snight01]

With games like Returnal, The callisto protocol (with RT disabled), High on life and DEAD M'Fing ISLAND 2 which haven't received no patches and OPTIMIZED to the teeth on release. All these use UE4 and are performing great!

The developers at respawn, no excuses for the state of the performance as i believe it was intentional to make the console versions more attractive. Take a dump on the pc version and point fingers at the consoles as the way to go. Maybe got paid off to rip the pc version?

Really disappointing as this game was the game i was waiting on the most.

Fallen order and this game runs on the same engine...
So it will most likely get fixed :P

I read the PS5 version isn't able to get 60 fps either.

Seems like a hard CPU bottleneck in this game. They must have made it using Blueprints instead of c++ code.

But jokes aside Unreal Engine is just a tool, you can do good and bad with it - optimization is all about making efficient assets and scripts with it. I also wouldn't call it the most optimized engine out there either, it's very bloated. That title would probably go to ID Tech7 used in Doom Eternal.

The game would probably look better and run a lot better if they had switched to UE5 during development but they were probably too far along for it to be viable.

It is true that some game titles are designed and optimized specifically for consoles, while others are optimized for PC. The theory that Sony pays off developers to ruin PC performance, should be taken with a grain of salt.

Though you might think Respawn with a strong reputation for developing high-quality first-person shooters for PC.. hmm, that theory might not be so far fetched if you consider that Sony loaned dev teams for The Callisto Protocol also. (that was my first refund this year)

Game ain't released, cringelord.

ALL those games besides dead island 2 had poor optimization and stutters at launch, but were later patched. I know you're trolling but people in this chat should know.
