>allows developers to save time and money while making great games with cutting-edge graphics
Thank you, it's perfect.
>>
Thanks Tim

>save time and money
But most studios that switched didn't save any money nor did they make games quicker.
Anyone who says that as the reasons for switching to Unreal are just giving marketing talking points.

>Now with cinematic 24 FPS!
>>
>>739966485
Besides Square Enix and Croteam most studios that switched years ago make games at the same rate and some of them aren't even out yet despite being like 6 years since they did.
And budgets haven't exactly gone down on any of these games either.
>>
>>739965741
>Saves them time and money so just money
>Still almost not good UE5 games
Thanks for nothing Timmy.
>>
>>739966245
It takes years and possibly hundreds of millions to make your own engine. Which you then have to dedicate more time and money to keep updating it.
>>
>>739965741
>Nooooo you don't understand, if it doesn't run on my turdie PC frankensteined together with 20 year old parts from alibaba then .. it's just not a good game OKAY???!??

Exhibit A fucking lmfao

Will they even bother to optimize UE6?
>>
>>739966925
Fuck off Jensen. Not buying your shitty overpriced card.
>>
>allows developers to save time and money
And then the games cost 80 dollars.

>yuck.. the sourest grapes I've ever seen.. disgusting!
>>
>>739967265
You don't understand, they need 3000 people working for 8 years to make another hero shooter. Live service games are the future!
Shareholders matter!
>>
>>739967273
The thing is, Borderlands 4 on release couldn't even run at native 60 fps even on the best cards at high settings.
>>
>>739966864
You still need staff on hand to make engine changes and if you aren't really saving much money and games are still taking the same amount of time to make it hardly matters.
Unless your a new studio who can only hire a few engineers instead of a couple dozen Unreal is a solid choice, but most large studios opt to go with their own tech because they can afford it plus have the tools to meet their specific goals.
>>
>>739966864
Interestingly this wasn't an issue 2 decades ago.
>>
>>739967540
Because it's an exaggeration.
Yeah running your own tech has costs for both development and maintenance but it isn't as astronomical like the marketing talking points say it is.

never had issues with UE5 games on my 5090. feels good to be a PC gamer in the year of 2026
>>
UE only makes sense when you think of it as an animated movie suite that is capable of making games.
>>
>Cutting edge graphics
At the cost of unique art styles and interesting tech.
Seriously, the amount of modern UE5 games without the "little" touches is infuriating.

>games run like shit on PC even on high end hardware
>responsible for the ram footprint being higher in games
>visually bland and uninteresting
>unreal 6 already announced when 5 just came out and still runs like dogshit
The reason its used is higherups demanding it. Its used because its easy to develop for and not think about. Its a dogshit performing engine, even 3 and 4 were considered badly optimized. 5 is a fucking joke. You shouldnt need a 5090 to run borderlands fucking 4 its ridiculous. You shouldnt need DLSS to run the game at 1440p 120 fps on the highest end hardware. You shouldnt need frame gen to make the game look smoother than it actually is. You should optimize the fucking game

Most run like ass on my 4060

These days a game not using UE5 is a selling point.
