He's right but the engine's features are heavily encouraging lack of optimization in favor of getting stuff done fast, like Lumen.
>play Abiotic Factor
>visibly polygonal, inspired by Half-Life 1
>somewhat inconsistent 40-50FPS on the lowest graphical settings on a GTX 970, which otherwise handles a lot of realistic-looking games at max settings at a good framerate such as Mad Max, Watch Dogs, Arkham etc.
>turn off global illumination (Lumen settings that includes software-rendering raytraced lights) in the settings
>game looks genuinely worse because it relied on the lights as part of its general environment but gain 30FPS
I hope they take some time to optimize the game. Doesn't Threat Interactive have a lot of videos about how to optimize UE5?
>>
>>722619463
I'm so tired of Unreal Engine 5. I hope the Threat Interactive guy declares a fatwa on Tim Sweeney, and a horde of guys on horseback with scimitars takes the R&D dept at Unreal hostage until they fix their embarrassment of an engine.

>>722619463
No it's not fine, threat interactive has pointed in multiple of his videos that UE has had problems imbedded in it, bad default choices, bad lighting models/algos or whatever, it's basically just bad engine overall because of how corrupt the company behind it is (how else do you think they get so well along with nvidia?

threat interactive? he still makes videos, and the ue5 turdies still cry about him. you know what's amazing though? they literally never refute him, not even once. the one guy that knew what he was talking about attacked him in a roundabout way, while still saying retarded shit like "it's ok to target 30 fps and use 1 billion nanite trees". nanite is cool, hypothetically. the point of it is to be able to render huge, polygon dense objects, and cull it in chunks. basically, you take a 100k polygon model, and it's broken up dynamically into a bunch of little clusters of polygons, when when you do something like obscure the model behind a wall, so only 20% of the model is visible, the engine only has to render 20% of the polygons. traditional rendering renders the entire object unless it's 100% obscured, so your options are basically "model on/off". that's what lods are for, the further away you are, the less polygons the model uses. this is nearly a 1 button setup in ue5, it has a very good lod generator. threat interactive's argument was "why not just optimize models to not be 100k polygons instead?" and they had a shit fit. 10 years ago, mgs 5 was hyper optimized in every single way, using every trick possible, trying to never sacrifice speed. snake was something like 20k polygons in total. today, we have characters in the hundreds of thousands. sure, they look better, but not dramatically better. that's one of the primary reasons things run so bad. combine that with mandatory raytracing, which unreal is trying to solve with lumen, but devs even hammer lumen to max settings. did you know lumen is entirely a trick? the reflections are just captures of the scene, rendered as blobs, with tiny polygon counts. developers override this on purpose, so you're practically rendering games twice. for reflections in puddles.

Don't like someone that reflects circle jerked opinions of /v/
Except for maybe Threat Interactive since we're all mostly in agreement that unoptimised games on unreal engine suck.
>>
>>722619601
Because more Indians were involved in coding the engine, and the studios using UE5 also have more Indians too.
>>
>>722619552
Traditionally and for the longest time it was video game tech analysis. Well not until Threat Interactive state challenging their views on video game performance. Now there's some things to think over twice when they talk about lumen and other issues.

the game starts out ugly with the poorly rendered lumiere to filter out the midwits. That zesty-lipped twink from Threat Interactive focused entirely on the prologue to "expose" E33 so it worked.
>>
>>722619183
Dude from Threat Interactive already exposed how Epic Games are recommending bad practices to developers which results in worse graphics and performance citing particular forum posts and developer conference presentations.
It's been proved that you can't really optimize UE5 games since main contributors to bad performance are lumen and nanite and the only way to deal with them is to lower their options which will lead to shitty graphics

Is this solely an engine problem or is it devs' faults for poor optimization.
Like there are plenty of mods that change UE5 defaults and make games run so much better. (I had to do this for expedition 33)
Hell, Valorant (Comp slop ik) runs pretty well despite being on UE5 now.

Threat Interactive isn’t trying to scam anyone they’re literally using funds to improve games, fix technical issues, and save projects that would otherwise die.

>>722619878
You do realize that indians hate threat interactive because the outsourced development to india is exactly what caused this over-reliance on UE5.

UE5 is the only engine taught to indians, and most of them perform at a below average level, which is what has lead to all the problems with these games.
They aren't educated enough to understand why their development processes aren't good.

I will always give Threat Interactive credit on being vocal at the very least about how bad the Anti-Aliasing is when the default is TAA, when many others exist for better Anti-Aliasing like SMAA, MSAA etc and actually detailing legacy issues that need to be fixed. He is a necessary evil in my book because if he did not call it out. Tim and UE5 devs would just sit on their hands and do nothing including the Modern Game Devs.

Mark my words. Normies are starting to notice. The venn diagram will include threat interactive criticizing fortnite optimization, video going viral among fortnite players, and it's somehow tied to antisemitism because UE5 code being criticized has reference to Moloch.

Threat Interactive is fixing what Epic ignores in Unreal Engine 5. Real solutions, real results. If you care about better visuals and performance, this is the team to support.

but UE5 devs are still doing nothing. Pretty sure UE5 is not designed to support SMAA/MSAA or other older AA techniques.

>>722619927
Threat Interactive is fixing issues Epic ignores in Unreal Engine 5. This is a real upgrade for graphics and performance. While others wait or complain, TI is creating tools that push the industry forward. If you want better games and smoother workflows, supporting TI is just smart. They are making real change happen.

didnt fortnite and valorant get more optimized when they switched to UE5?
>>
>>722620432
big companies like Epic often get bogged down by bureaucracy, priorities, and massive codebases, so they don’t always fix every problem quickly. Smaller, focused teams like Threat Interactive can move faster and target issues Epic overlooks.
>>
>>722620472
Demanding instant proof before anything is even built isn’t how development works. Threat Interactive shares progress when it’s meaningful, not just flashy teasers to chase cash. Trust is earned over time, not with immediate receipts.

Exactly pay attention to Threat Interactive. They’re breaking down the real issues behind why games look and run poorly, beyond the usual excuses. It’s not about conspiracies, it’s about fixing fundamental engine flaws nobody else wants to admit

Actually, that’s exactly why someone needs to step in. Epic has all this money, but no real incentive to fix the engine for smaller devs and indie creators. Threat Interactive, on the other hand, is trying to make these crucial fixes that Epic won’t prioritize.
>>
>>722620672
Look, you might not like it, but what Threat Interactive is doing isn’t totally out of left field. UE5 is a massive engine, and while Epic has the resources, there are issues that haven’t been tackled. Threat Interactive is just trying to step in where others haven’t.

Shitposting somehow manages to get worse and worse with every year, that's how. I doubt Threat Interactive would take the money and run though considering that he doxxed himself, and engine programmers tend to be highly-paid computer experts so they kinda have to match the price, I'd assume they'd be even better paid after Nvidia multiplied its revenue several times over catering to the AI and crypto scams in the last few years but let's be honest most of that money probably went to the execs
>>
>>722621092
If you can’t see the difference between backing something with potential and just throwing cash at scams, that’s on you. Threat Interactive is about the work, not the persona. They’ve got a clear vision and a roadmap that’s been shared openly. If you’re not into it, fine. But don’t confuse bold innovation with a “lie.”
>>
>>722621093
All that drama is just noise. Threat Interactive is focused on creating something new in graphics, pushing for real innovation. The fact that he's asking for support to fund something big isn’t a scam, it's how things get done. Focus on the project, not the distractions. They're trying to fix real issues with Unreal Engine, and that's what matters.
>>
>>722619183
From what I can tell, "Embark" is a studio of some sort that sells themselves on the idea that devs are so lazy they will outsource to them to make graphics (and they are probably using AI to cut corners) to do it faster/cheaper on demand, or are trying to sell themselves as a premier asset store?
>>
>>722621092
Dude, Unreal’s a beast, no way some random can just whip up a whole engine overnight. Threat Interactive’s not asking to build a new engine from scratch—they’re fixing the parts Epic straight-up ignores. Saying “write your own engine” is just cope for not wanting to admit this project actually matters.
>>
Look, building a whole engine is a massive undertaking, no doubt. But the real money’s in improving and optimizing the giants like Unreal. Threat Interactive’s aiming right at that niche, and that’s where smart investments go. Saying the billion-dollar company doesn’t need help? That’s just trying to dismiss the opportunity. It’s smarter to back the disruptors than pretend everything’s fine.

If you want to call the whole thing “sus,” that just shows you don’t understand how this shit works. Real projects don’t get built by keyboard warriors throwing racist garbage around.

I didn’t expect much when I first heard about Threat Interactive’s project—overhauling UE5’s rendering pipeline isn’t a small job, and these kinds of engine-level fixes usually take forever or end up disappointing.

Unreal Engine 5’s anti-aliasing is a mess, and Epic’s not doing much about it. Threat Interactive’s trying to fix it with a new pipeline. They want $900k to do it, and it starts with your donation.
>>
>>722621415
A lot of devs (myself included) have been pretty disappointed with how Unreal Engine 5 handles anti-aliasing. Between ghosting, shimmering, and the general softness you get with TSR and TAA, it just doesn’t deliver the kind of clarity modern games should have—especially for projects aiming for sharp, high-fidelity visuals.

Threat Interactive is doing something about it. They’re not just tweaking settings or writing post-process hacks—they’re rebuilding the rendering pipeline inside UE5 to get genuinely sharper, cleaner output without tanking performance. It’s the kind of deep engine work that Epic hasn’t really focused on, but that a lot of teams desperately need.

They already have a working prototype and a clear plan for what comes next. Now they’re trying to raise $900K to bring in more specialists and take the project full-scale.
>>
>>722621452
Lol, looks like you're not a fan of Nvidia! I get the frustration, but let’s not throw shade too quickly. Both Nvidia and AMD have their strengths depending on the use case. Nvidia’s got better support for AI tech and ray tracing, while AMD offers great performance for the price. As for Threat Interactive, they’re focusing on Unreal Engine, not playing tech support for graphics card manufacturers. I’m sure they'll take on rendering issues, but fixing GPUs? That's a whole other beast.
>>
>>722621541
Sounds like you're frustrated, but Unreal Engine is a complex tool built for high-fidelity visuals, and yes, it can be demanding. That’s the nature of cutting-edge technology. It pushes boundaries. Performance issues are real, but that’s not the whole story. The engine is continually evolving, and projects like Threat Interactive are trying to tackle these very problems head-on, offering solutions that could make Unreal even better. Sometimes, innovation requires getting into the weeds and refining things for a more optimized future.
>>
Also AMD is way better than Nvidia. In fact Nvidia is complete garbage right? Threat Interactive should fix Nvidia's products after he fixes the mess that is Unreal Engine 5.
>>
>>722621415
Threat Interactive isn't just another empty promise. They’re working on something real with a roadmap and a prototype. The tech is ambitious, tackling issues Unreal Engine still struggles with, particularly in anti-aliasing. It’s not about asking for blind trust, but rather supporting a project with potential to push graphics forward. The people involved have shown commitment and are clearly passionate about advancing the tech. It’s easy to dismiss, but innovation doesn’t always come from big studios. Supporting small projects like this can lead to real breakthroughs.

>>
>>722621661
Honestly, Tim’s not wrong. Sometimes the devs do drop the ball when it comes to optimizing things, and it ends up affecting the performance. It’s easy to blame the engine, but if the devs aren’t fully utilizing the tools or making the right choices, you’ll see issues like that. The whole point of looking at something like Threat Interactive’s work is to show there’s room for improvement in how we approach graphics and performance. It’s not just about slapping higher res textures and calling it a day—it’s about making it work smarter.

>it's another pretend to support threat interactive thread by using AI spam bot
I mean I support his general messaging but these threads come across as smear tactics to make him look bad. And there's generally a pattern to it. The guy who makes these threads never really engages in real discussion, he just utters a typical string of phrases and there's a general pattern to it. Most of us are behind the general sentiment of Threat Interactive's videos: that Unreal Engine 5 is actually broken and it goes beyond the difference between a competent developer and incompetent developers optimisation skills. I mean to pretend UE4 was any better might be some revisionist history too, since Unreal Engine has had a history of memory leaking. But UE5 now it's reached an all time bad. Yet there is retardo devs who pretend that this is a good engine. Despite memory leaking all the time. That's not the sign of a good engine, all you need to admit that it was cheaper to work with Epic's engine rather than the alternative of where you didn't work with it.

I get the skepticism, but let’s not ignore the facts. Threat Interactive is real, not some fantasy. They're pushing for real change in rendering, specifically anti-aliasing, which is a serious issue in UE5. The roadmap is clear, prototypes are out there, and everything has been documented. No shady stuff, no hidden agendas.

There’s a lot of noise flying around, so let’s set a few things straight. Yes, Threat Interactive is early-stage, but that doesn't mean it's fictional. It's a registered entity with clear goals, publicly shared prototypes, and a roadmap built around technical transparency.
>
As for the ‘grifter’ claims: there's been zero hidden intent. Every fundraising initiative has been openly documented, with an emphasis on pushing boundaries in rendering tech, especially around anti-aliasing. If that challenges conventional approaches, good. Innovation doesn’t come from playing it safe.
>
Regarding experience, I’ve never claimed to be a AAA veteran. But I have spent years experimenting, researching, and building tools that reflect an obsessive passion for real-time graphics. That work has sparked debate, yes, but also serious interest from developers who share a desire to rethink what’s possible.

All the other theatrics are irrelevant distractions. If people want to challenge ideas, I welcome that. But let’s engage with the substance, not smear campaigns designed to shut people down before they get started.

Oh, so now anything that doesn't fit your narrative is "fraud" huh? Classic. Just because it's not all memes and chaos doesn't mean it’s some scam.

>>722621941
Threat Interactive is doing real work to fix what’s wrong with UE5. While Epic’s been dragging their feet with issues like anti-aliasing and performance, Threat Interactive is stepping up with a new rendering pipeline that could seriously improve things. They’re focused on making UE5 smoother and more visually stunning, which is exactly what this engine needs. They’ve got a working prototype and a roadmap to take it to the next level, and honestly, this is the kind of innovation that could set new standards for game dev. If you’re into pushing the limits of what real-time engines can do, this is a project worth keeping an eye on.

Nice try but just because you can’t see the value doesn’t mean it’s fraud. Threat Interactive is tackling real issues with UE5 that everyone’s been complaining about. It’s not about riding dick, it’s about actual improvement. Maybe you’re just mad someone’s actually doing the work Epic's been too lazy to do.

>>722619927
It's both. UE provides shitty defaults to push shit like Lumen and Nanite into games, while also having code from fucking Unreal Tournament era. And the devs are retards that make games for Lumen, TAA, DLSS and Frame Generation, instead of using them as an extra. Look at Lumen, it should be there as an option for people with specially power PCs to push the game to it's limits, but instead is used as the default lighting because they're too lazy to bake shadows. In Silent Hill f, if you turn off Lumen you're literally turning off any lightning, it's like turning on fullbright.

Look, Threat Interactive isn’t just throwing shade at UE5, they’re actually trying to fix what’s broken.

They’re not just another dev trying to make a quick buck; they’re focused on actually improving UE5’s core. If anything, they’re doing what Epic should’ve been doing from the start: addressing the shortcomings head-on.

I'm sorry if this' was your first dive into the horrors of Unreal 5.
This shit's been shat on for a couple years now. It's one of the easiest red flags you can spot nowadays; even if the game looks like some PS1 title, if it's on UE5, it'll probably need RTX4090 to run "okay" at 1080p.

Gaming is being held back by lowest denominator, always. Before it was consoles like X360 and PS3, now it's literally being held back by Switch. We could have those realistic artstyle beautiful games that Threat Interactive speaks about (which the artstyle and graphics of Palworld aim towards more than nindon't's open world games), but if a console that runs uglier games than my 2007 toaster is getting all the developer attention (Oblivion looked better than BOTW), then yes it's going to hold back gaming in general, even if I don't personally play Nintendo games. You're doing a disservice to this entire hobby for being the modern day lowest common denominator, you're worse than reddit.

I assume you mean the reasons Threat Interactive talks about? regarding smeary temporal anti aliasing/image quality. Poor performance, ghosting etc. Or I have heard that Varva has said Unreal Engine can't deal with big open world complex RPGs and that the Witcher 4 is in development hell because of it. But I'm not aware of the behind the scenes/under the hood details of the engine. Or how much it can handle before it breaks apart and then the game becomes a glitchy broken mess or whatever.

>>722623170
Performance problems usually and as Threat Interactive has pointed out, smeary visuals with Temporal Anti Aliasing. People saying all Unreal Engine games look the same is not entirely true. It is possible for developers to actually create their own lighting solutions and highly customize the stuff we've seen that makes games look 'samey'. I wouldn't say there's anything wrong with the engine unless we're talking about the shit optimization happening across the board. That is a legitimate issue. Cryengine should have been the adopted standard instead on the other hand. Better technology behind it and the games look better in the hands of experienced developers. Problem is that it's hard to use.

UE5 only sucks because it performs like complete shit and they've forced all the temporal anti aliasing shit. In which most of Threat Interactive commentary and criticisms are valid. Including all of the compilation stutter stuff. But lets say it performed well in all circumstances and TI fixes unreal with crowd funded money. What is wrong with it otherwise? at least during Unreal Engine 2-3 era no one was complaining about how the games played or looked, and talented AAA studios were using it. However According to Varva witcher 4 is in development hell because they're using unreal engine and it doesn't play well with big open worlds apparently, so apparently that's a thing when it can't handle complex RPGs?. But aside from that there's nothing saying you have to use those Quixel Megascans off the store either with your UE4/UE5 developed game. The biggest issue is maybe that you need to overhaul the lighting by some complicated solution if you don't want your game looking like everything else i suppose. Preferably i wished Cry Engine became the standard, but it's too hard for people to use.

If you're not a retarded normalfag with no inner monologue you'd realize Threat Interactive's issue is that you shouldn't need upscaling to make a game playable, nor should temporal solutions be used because they're retarded.
Instead, Nvidia makes more proprietary shit that bloats games and makes them defunct in 10 years, and DF sucks their dick because of it.

This is a pretty sober assessment, I concur. The reality of running a big youtube channel is that everyone is human and just trying to do their best. There's always danger of "Access journalism" and people selling integrity to keep getting games early so you can keep up with the ever-shifting media landscape but from what I've seen of Digital Foundry they lean positive but don't seem to be outright shills. A lot of this type of content is really up to the viewer to interpret anyway, especially for their PC stuff (Which is the only videos I've seen from them for what it's worth). The best thing is probably to take their info, synthesize it with some other research, make up your own mind. And if all else fails there's always the steam refund system.

As for this guy's video it strikes me as a bit strange. About half of the video is approaching or maybe implying fault on the part of DF and the other half is basically just complaining about a string of percieved insults. Like that whole bit about how DF went to the FuckTAA reddit and he gave them a list of instructions on what to do. From the other person's perspective, if someone writes a wall of text and you don't know them, why should you really pay them much heed? It's not like the DF guy replied and said "Wow great idea!", it's entirely possible they didn't even see it. Moreover, it's entirely possible this guy was thinking of any one a hundred other people that just post ignorant shit on the internet. For every person soberly critiquing the state of GPUs and game graphics there are a dozen knuckledraggers and I promise you the dumb people are a lot louder. This video really feels like half decently reasoned critique of a larger channel

I have to wonder if this Threat Interactive guy will make more of these videos in the future. You can tell he enjoys them. It'd be a horrible mistake, totally counterproductive to his (stated) cause, but we'll see.

Listen here you cocksucking faggot. By buying into this shitty nVidia ecosystem of upscaling from subpar resolutions and using shitty shit-smearing blur DLSS shit, you're encouraging developers to create absolutely shit-tier games. Time and again I have shown that DLSS 3 was shit, and now there is a fourth DLSS that isn't any better? You absolute idiots will be singing my praises when you see that I have been right all this time, and that this AI upscaled garbage is just that. Garbage. You absolute fools that keep on buying this, are just encouraging companies to shit out atrocious hardware at over-inflated prices just because they throw out the right buzzwords. Why invest in making the actual architecture of a component better, when instead you can run a roller of shit over the screen, put in 2GB more RAM and then run games at 584p upscaled to 4K with AI framegen to spoof results.

It's like the Threat Interactive guy says, devs would rather just tick some boxes in Unreal Engine instead of doing any real work. This then has the longer term effect of most of these "devs" having no idea how any this stuff really works and are unable to do any optimisations. Add in DEI/wokeness/diversity hires and that explains why there has been so much slop lately.
tldr most modern game developers aren't developers.

The gaming industry's business practices have been so unsustainable that a lot of talent has either retired or left the industry for greener pastures, but they never passed down or documented a lot of technical knowledge to junior developers, so it has been completely lost with time. Basically, the gaming industry has had to relearn optimization since the release of Vulkan/DX12 because nobody knows low-level tech wizardry anymore.

This created the perfect environment for morons like Threat Interactive to grift because veteran developers know enough to understand that he's wrong, but they don't have a deep enough understanding to debunk him in a way that a layman would understand. Also, tech workers tend to suck dick at communication and Kevin knows how to make a convincing presentation

I mean yeah, that's a given. You can sometimes optimize a game by cranking all the knobs and levers until the number goes up, but you might as well be trapped in Plato's cave.

It's interesting to watch Threat Interactive sperg out because sometimes he's right, but he doesn't fully understand why. His knowledge is composed of cargo cult reasoning.

>i have no idea what i'm talking about
Go watch the threat interactive jewtube channel showcasing how fucking terrible AAA games are now in optimization. They are ALL on Yanderedev's level of putting in 20 million poly toothbrushes now, but unironically. They can't even get geometry culling correct now. They make their lighting sources cover the entire game space even when there's no reason to do it causing the PC to render shit you can't see miles away INDOORS.

FXAA is good for an alternative if you have lower end hardware, but I would say SMAA is god tier. I use it on Dolphin Emulator and notice a dramatic difference at 2X even 4X for my mid range GPU. I do wish NVIDIA made an update for FXAA for current day.

Because Threat Interactive said so and he is the only competent expert when it comes to real time rendering. As he proved, UE5 only had to be made in the right way to get at the very least some decent graphics. (But since its AAA slop, it's not gonna happen)

So Threat Interactive is right, even a 4090 can't run Hogwarts Legacy at 4k ultra at 60 fps, we are only going to depend more on fake resolution via AI, same with Silent Hill 2 Remake and Stalker 2
>>
>>722624185
everyone knows this

there likely is a cartel between developers and tech manufacturers to keep current hardware being relevant

a few years ago this notion would be schizoposting, but a 4070 has 6 times the number of transistors a 970 had, yet games barely look twice better as those in 2014 did

most people attribute this to incompetence, but a lot of the newer UE5 slop literally goes out of their way to make things run slower, flat surfaces are made of hundreds of smaller squares instead of just rendering one single large rectangle with a texture on top of it, some youtubers like threat interactive are calling developers out on it but it appears downright malicious, they take a lot more time making things run slower on purpose

i find it highly suspicious that the moment hardware even briefly outpaces the demand for hardware in games (680 was a mid to upper end card meant to be used in SLI for high-end gaming), said demand immediately shoots up because of some new chinese engine the entire industry is using. said engine cannot 100% use even 6-cores CPUs, but higher end CPUs with higher core counts score better frames somehow. and you cannot blame this on thread fuckery like with the bulldozer scam either

i know no one will read this but theres no fucking way this isnt malicious to a degree, it is simply too convenient and makes too much money for too many people for it to be a coincidence

his is literally true though. Modern game engines, software, development, and especially the Unreal engine are performance sinks that think the progress of hardware and AI advancement can and will counteract all the sloppy work they have done.

Threat interactive has a half dozen videos about how bad this has gotten.

Yes. This is why we have Threat Interactive to hopefully steer things into the right direction in the near future.

>The true reason why all big AAA studios have switched to generic all purpose engines like Unity and Unreal is because training a basically entire team of new hires every few years on a custom engine is basically impossible.
I think this is something most people don't really get how significant it is. Developing and maintaining a custom engine is an enormous investment, and the reality is that it's going to be really hard for most teams to justify it at this point. We're at a weird point because on the surface video game development has never been more accessible thanks to the internet and engines like Unreal and Unity being available to anyone. But the hard part is that just about everything about actually making a video game has gotten more and more complicated.

The Threat Interactive guy is generally correct is his criticisms of Unreal, the engine has obviously accumulated a number of problems over time. I do think it's a complicated issue, though. Epic has developed all the real time lighting systems because the reality is fancy graphics technology does sell and it gets some people excited. In addition, there's nothing stopping anyone from doing the optimizations that the guy talks about in his videos. I think a huge problem in the industry is poor leadership as well as poor experience. The poor leadership is obvious: most studios will be run my morons who just want the game shipped as fast as possible and to monetize it as aggressively as they can. Then there's the growing problem of younger people not having the technical experience and knowledge of the lower-level optimizations that are crucial for video game development. I think a lot of people simply expect that the engine will just do all the work, and maybe flipping random switches in the engine will be the depth of their optimization efforts. You need strong leadership who understands the value and craftsmanship of careful optimization, and sadly I think that's a rare thing nowadays.

>>722624415
Have you seen the recent cope of the Threat Interactive guy? Devs are losing their MINDS over being told they don't know how to do their jobs, even when the proof is right in front of us. That alone tells me he's right. Otherwise there'd be no reason to get defensive.
They know the industry is in shambles right now, and they don't know how to fix it. It certainly won't be through raw talent, since games are being nepotized to death.

UE4 sucked just much, UE5 was supposed to 'fix' all the performance issues with UE4 but made them worse.
UE3 was the last good Unreal Engine and you're not even allowed to license it anymore.

what i hate about this statement is that it acts as if making your own game engine was somehow the basics of gamedev programming, the ABC that even programmer noobs should be able to do, when as a matter of facts it's one of the most complex pieces of software anyone can ever make in gamedev
>>
>>722626885
No, making a basic opengl game engine is tutorial level.
That doesn't mean every game needs a fully custom engine, just like every (shitty car analogy incoming) car doesn't need a specialised engine.
But every mechanical engineer worth their salt can design a basic ICE from scratch.
