Unreal Engine 5? Graphics looks like PS3.

[NobleFeret]

Not impressed so far.

Haha, I was looking at the visuals thinking, "This looks like an Unreal 3 game."

So basically, players will get the raging performance hit of Unreal 5 with the visuals of Unreal 3. Nice.

Always remember that for the game to look like Ark Survival Ascended it has to have the performance of ark survival ascended not a particularly favorable element. I'm kinda sad for people with lower system and old gen laptop gamers

Game suddenly looks like a cartoonish League of legends copy.

Imagine thinking the game engine has anything to do with the quality of the assets, it mainly does not, it just renders them. Another common misconception

As someone who has developed mods for Unreal games since DeusEx, worked with UDK and is working on a Unreal 4 game atm, I'm pretty sure I can tell when developers are not utilizing Unreal engine properly.

Smite is a good example of developers not utilizing Unreal engine properly, even Unreal 3 back in the day. But that's a common theme in the industry. My jibe at the game was mostly based on the fact that they aren't even close to using the engine for what it's known for best (visuals).

I'm going to assume they're using Unreal 5 for features that make landscape editing easier primarily, but turned off everything else (like Lumen and Nanite). Seems like a waste of a good engine, even the particle effects look bad. They can easily make the visuals look amazing, but settle for making it look like a generic mobile game in the end. Meh.

If Smite fanbase is OK with mediocrity, good for them. I was just looking at visuals from the developer's perspective, not interested in game itself.

yeah this game looks extremely ugly. i can't stand looking at it. why would anyone play Smite 2 instead of Smite 1 that is laready established?

[peremptor]

The graphics look horrible especially if you consider how much more demanding than the OG game they are going to be... man that trailer looks like pure crap.

[Robscura]

Agreed, I think the art style should've been changed, it is too cartoonish to take advantage of the new engine. It's also the same old flat smite, not adding any verticality like the new action MOBAs are.

And taking into account the drawback of poor skins and progression transfers, it is definitely not worth the change.

[Sledge]

Doesn't suit SMITE's artistic direction for me.

Lighting and shadows have most certainly improved, as have effects, texture-work etc.

There's this level of "shiny" to it I just don't dig though, it's lost it's charm. I know SMITE is getting old at this point as far as live-services go in terms of graphical fidelity, but this new look just isn't it for me.

[Kanyos]

Duurrr me can't see no difference between UE3 and UE5 duuurrrr

[Wakey]

I was thinking the same...
It doesn't look THAT much better than just standard SMITE 1? Not to a degree it warents a sequal just for the graphics anyway...
