Comments by "IgorTheLight" (@igorthelight) on "Why Unreal Engine 5.3 is a Game Changer | Asmongold Reacts" video.

  1. Correct. The main WOW factor is that they are working with Lumen and Nanite now. So Lumen now effects volumetric fog, for example.

  2. I think Bethesda is not a good company in general, but I can see why they are sticking to their engine: * They have 100% control over their own engine. They understand it fully. * They don't want to pay 5% royalty to Epic Games (that's a stupid idea but Bethesda being Bethesda...). * They don't want to waste time learning new engine. That would be a good idea, but they don't want to waste time on it. They don't care if that would benefit them GREATLY in the future.

  3. Depends on what you do ;-) I assume that you are a solo dev or a small team. UE 5 will not give you much. It sounds good on paper but if you are not AA or AAA studio - you will NOT use 95% of UE 5 features. You will not use 50% of Unity's features too, btw ;-)
    2
  4. True!
    2
  5. The full list is publicly available. You are 1 google search away from the answer ;-)

  6.  @dcb6729  Fair point! But it have Lumen and Nanite - it's just have that cartoony look.
    2
  7. Remnant II is pretty good ;-) Just wait for a few patches xD
    2
  8. There are like 10 of them ;-) * Fortnite * Remnant II (don't use Lumen nor Nanite) * Immortals Of Aveum (badly optimized) * Lords Of The Fallen (reboot of the same game on UE5, in development) * Tekken 8 (January of 2024) * Ark 2 (2024) * STALKER 2: Heart Of Chernobyl (in development, the less active the war is - the faster the development goes!).

  9.  @caldark2005  Fair points tho!
    2
  10. That would be in 5 years (mainstream). Or just google for "Unrecord gameplay" ;-)
    1
  11. Well... kinda true. But they DO improve graphics tho ;-)
    1
  12. I know that was a joke but... ;-) Game engines are trying to be as game agnostic as possible. UE5 doesn't even have "an object is floating on waves" thing.
    1
  13. 95% of games would still be shit - that's true. I only care about those 5% ;-)
    1
  14. There are still "good-old" wars for those who are interested... ;-) Sadly.
    1
  15. True! I think DX9.0c was a great leap forward with it's shaders ;-)
    1
  16. They have their loyal fans that would buy anything ;-) Complain, but still buy...
    1
  17. True! It's more of a combination of all old tools + Nanite (that's new) + Lumen (a better performing Ray Tracing from like 2019).
    1
  18. Not an engine problem, tho ;-)
    1
  19. UE4 was used for a lot of films so what do you think? ;-) Mandalore, for example.
    1
  20. Well... New graphics needs more calculation power ;-) Nanite is pretty CPU heavy while Lumen is very GPU heavy!
    1
  21. True. But games would became more beautiful and 1-2 games (of 100) would be great ;-)
    1
  22. Not Nanite itself but lazy devs ;-)
    1
  23. Depends on your definition of "glitches": * If you are talking about physics bugs - only some of them are related to game engine and others are more on developers and how they use that engine. * If you are talking about graphical glitches (graphical artifacts) - again, most of them are on developers. There are a few problems, specific to Unreal Engine 4/5: * Shader compilation stutter. Those are big framerate drops when you should see new effects on screen. Developers could try to enforce game engine to compile them BEFORE game starts. * Streaming stutter. That happens when you are traveling to a different location. It may be in the center of the city - not really a "new location" for players, but more how game level is structured. Developers could do very little about that. * Low framerate. New graphical features need more computational power. Game should choose it's settings by default more "wisely". If it doesn't - it's all on a customer. And that customer should know what he/she is doing ;-)

  24. A VERY limited AI's that can't think about life ;-)
    1
  25. AI is nowhere near that level of intelligence for now ;-)
    1
  26.  @blackhorde22  True! And it will only gets better!
    1
  27. Depends on where you live! Mine is 6.5/10 xD
    1
  28. True! That costs time and money.
    1
  29. Play some Cyberpunk 2077 with Overdrive or watch "Unrecord" ;-)
    1
  30. Are Fortnite or Tekken 8 not AAA? ;-)
    1
  31.  @JRS902  Fortnite is using Lumen and Nanite tho ;-) Google "Fortnite Digital Foundary".
    1
  32. There are a lot of drawback in it tho - nothing is perfect ;-)
    1
  33. Today it's a 1500$ PC. In a few years that would be a 1000$ PC.
    1
  34. Agree. Developers don't really use it correctly. OR maube game engine itself is just too heavy. Didn't tested that yet myself.
    1
  35. Not in terms of Bethesda stubbornness ;-)
    1
  36. Except Nanite and Lumen. More "classical" implementation of Ray Tracing is available on Unity tho ;-)
    1
  37. No embedded Denuvo at this moment ;-)
    1
  38.  @Daigon95  True! ;-)
    1
  39. Agree! Even calling game a "product" or "experience" is a bad sign by itself ;-)
    1
  40. Criticizing games is not the same as making them ;-)
    1
  41. 2D animators are very needed in a indie space ;-)
    1
  42. True!
    1
  43. * Fortnite * Remnant II (without Lumen or Nanite, LOL) * "That mage game" (badly optimized)
    1
  44. Runs pretty fine on RTX 3080/RTX 4070 to be honest ;-)
    1
  45. Sadly, they would just spend less money on a game ;-)
    1
  46. True! Lumen is very GPU intensive and Nanite is very CPU heavy. There are a few games on UE 5 that don't use ether of them xD
    1
  47. Just remember a few things: * That is a fifth version of the engine that was started in 1998 * It's not coded by one person. They have >1000 developers and VERY big amounts of money. * Most of those developers are professionals in their sphere and C++ programming in general. I'm not saying that it's not impressive. More like that's it's pretty logical conclusion for the >20 years of work ;-)
    1
  48.  @abn0rm1  Also google "procedural generated forest Unreal Engine 5" ;-)
    1
  49. Sadly, that's true. Well... we have a few UE5 games but they are not using all the features.
    1
  50. 4070 is good enough ;-)
    1
  51. A 1500$ modern PC runs UE5 pretty good ;-)
    1
  52. Yes they do! Since Unreal Engine 4 times (2015+)
    1
  53. It will be optimized a little bit more but don't wait for some magic ;-)
    1
  54. It's already there ;-)
    1
  55. No. We don't need monopoly at all ;-)
    1
  56. Well... ... No, they used a 20 years old engine with some improvements. Surely noone would notice! xD
    1
  57. I think, it's only Fortnite for now xD
    1
  58. "does nothing but drops frames." - it looks better, actually! Of course you would need a better PC! What's strange in that? ;-)
    1
  59.  @zooziz5724  100% agree about optimizations tho!
    1
  60. It's closer to Fallout 4. Which is not surprising at all ;-)
    1
  61. Can you play Fortnite? It's using ALL of that tech RIGHT NOW ;-)
    1
  62. Yes. A few tips about all of that: * It's called "Unreal Engine 5" and it's 100% free to use! Also - it's kinda Open Sourced. "Kinda" because there are a lot of limitation on that but you can see all the sources. * You just have to pay 5% royalty if you would make more that 1 000 000$ per year. 0% if you make less. * It will have ALL those features! Yes, so even a 10 years old could download and play with it! * To use all of those features in a small to medium game you would need MUCH more time then usual so most indie developers would not use them at all. That's a sad true. Engine is for everybody, but all the features are usable if you have a big company. * But still you can download it and make some small games with beautiful graphics. Nothing is stopping you! Except if you have a weak PC or laptop. * Youtuibe have a lot of tutorials on how to do ANYTHING it it - just search for it! ;-)

  63. Fortnite and Remnant II are both UE5 games. Tekken 8 is coming in 2024 STALKER 2 is coming in 2024
    1
  64. Character AI is NOT part of the engine. Sadly.
    1
  65. Yep! Very relatable! At least PC is very quiet with indie games. That kind of hardware could run them at 3000+ FPS so when you enable VSync - it almost idle ;-)
    1
  66. I would say, 5 years, when new consoles would be out ;-)
    1
  67. It's going up just because people are willing to pay more. Try to buy games at 50% discount - you will buy a less buggy game for cheaper ;-)
    1
  68. Nothing is stopping you to use UE5 for artistic games. Lumen and Nanite would make the look even better! Like a Pixar cartoon ;-)
    1
  69. "like their families are being held hostage" - they owned by a Tencent. A giant Chinese corporation! So their families MAY be in hostage xD
    1
  70. Are they on 4.X or 5.X now? Updating from 5.X would be a good idea. From 4.X - not so much...
    1
  71. UE5 supports VR/AR from the box ;-)
    1
  72. I would give that a 5-10% chance ;-)
