Then why do you care lol

and you're saying it'll make it worse

no effect != worse

also read the release notes

epic did not hype up the next rendition of their flagship game engine just to throw out some graphics upgrades

Yeah there are significant benefits to using UE5

im just waiting for unreal engine 7.6 where the enirovement look like irl but much better than irl kek

why spend so much effort on making a game look pretty when you could spend it making it more fun to play?

... oh no...

Ocean is one of those "anti AAA games" guys ain't he 😭

no i'm one of those "stop making games more expensive" guys. and that's all graphics can do

That's like telling companies to stop making phones so expensive

.....probably a terrible example but still

Not terrible but, at the very, very, V E R Y least, game development can (legitimately at times too) claim its in the name of innovation.

Phone companies are like "oh yeah we gave you an extra 50 megabytes, show yellow a microfraction better and uhhhh here's a voice integration for PornHub now isn't that cool?"

My point being that Phone companies can't even pretend to claim its for nothing but pure hearding of the sheep; game devs have an alibi lol

Yeah very very true

bro read the release notes theres plenty of non graphics stuff there

the ai stuff man

the sound tools

and at the end of the day whether or not the game is fun is on the developer

not the engine

if you hate ue5 lighting and rendering then the developer can always choose to not use it

Ocean does, as a fair man, have a solid point; UE makes incredible environments, but it's inconsistent on Character models, and getting them to work consistently, and avoid that uncanny Valley.

That's not even gettig into previous versions issues with optimization lol

UE5 seem to follow the PS5 philosophy of "hey uh let's like just firetruckin do the last one but better man", so, I think this version will still be good.

Nah UE5 knows what’s up with optimization

The QoL updates are also very nice, as a game dev major working in UE5 right now lol

Eyyy my man

…you use your own character models?

Wdym

No I mean like, uh, ya know, making or rendering through them?

Idk man I just play the games lol I leave all the tech malarkey to DaZ

You don’t make models in UE 😭
