Opinions on UE 5?

[Vince ✟ ✞ ✝]

I watched a video this morning regarding Epic and UE5. Do you have any thoughts about the engine? Is it the epitome of lazy coding, manipulative marketing and inefficient design, resulting in cutting more costs for devs, delivering subpar products for users, and propagation of a stale industry within video gaming?

awful engine, works bad, runs bad, looks mediocre at most (stalker 2), very buggy and should be abandoned, it is an engine for amateurs
same as for unity
avoid all games with garbage like DLSS/FSR TAA Frame Generation

UE5 is in cahoot with GPU manufacture, they created buggy bad stuff and , them created the cure which the next Gen GPU
i mean if they created stuff works well even for old gens nobody gonna buy the next gen anymore right

the only game i've seen so far that is actually decently optimized and looks good is The Finals

every other UE5 game so far that i've seen runs and looks like garbage

Tekken 8 is on UE5 and looks phenomenal.
Lies of P was on UE4 and felt extremely well optimised.

I think it’s a decent engine but you still need some skill to have decent results. For some studio it’s the only chance to make a game as many less experienced dev employees only know this one engine.
That’s why new Witcher will be on UE5.

True. Especially since we have DXVK now.

tbh the fact it doesn't support 7 is basically meaningless. the OS itself was becoming obsolete for gaming already when it was still being officially supported
The bigger problem with UE5 is how terrible Nanite can be for performance
