Inside Epic's Unreal Engine 5

Epic has always been in the business of seeing the future. Nowadays, however, the situation is a little more complicated than that. "It's kind of a scam," smiles CEO and founder Tim Sweeney, "because while we're predicting the future, we're actually secretly building it in the background so that our predictions are right."

Quality article. From games radar. (Edge magazine) who are actually good. Unlike ganimingbolt, who are not to be confused with Games radar. Both have a somewhat orange colour logo soni sometimes get confused then remember gamesradar is the good one. Been reading their stuff for years. Since Dreamcast days.

Shame is still going to take years for us to start seeing games developed in the engine. Given that it's still going into preview in next couple of months.

UE4 projects can port to UE5 so we will see some titles on UE5 this year and ramping up into some big games in late 2022.

It seems to have been developed with SSD drives not just in mind, but at the forefront. The term- "game-changer" comes to mind.

I was really amazed with the trailer on the PS5 of the Unreal Engine 5. I think it will be amazing when games start to use this tech.

“They have faster CPUs, they have faster GPUs, and that was really important to be able to achieve the visuals that we showed – but the biggest change across console generations is absolutely going to be the IO bandwidth that we're able to achieve with the SSDs that are in next-generation consoles." ”

Yup! ^^

I’ve been waiting to be amazed since they launched it. Some beautiful games out there, but not mind blowing. Hopefully this year is better.

FinalBoss129d ago

It's still early days, most of the games that have already been released under UE5 were started under UE4.
The devs are going to get to grips with this new engine, and come up with some great games.

rlow1129d ago (Edited 129d ago )

I know but it’s been a minute….lol

I just remember those Gears of War, Halo, God of War holy crap moments.

My guess, the engine takes longer to optimize and more manpower to do it right.

EvertonFC129d ago

Nxt gen, it's always the same until you actually get the OMFG new engine games. Might see some in 2026 though.

FinalBoss129d ago

In fact, one of the biggest advances in UE5 is the 'ease' with which content can be created.
Take a look at this video from 3:50 onwards, showing how the engine automatically generates the scenery.

UE4 wasn't capable of that at this level. And the devs had to resort to all sorts of tricks to make quality procedural.
UE 5 greatly simplifies all that. In my opinion, games will take a different turn in the coming years.

Thanks for the link, will check it
Out.

We need Unreal Tournament 5. If Epic won't touch it I would rather pay fans money to make it. Lately I'm having more respect for fans of games that mod and or do total conversions than the actual devs.

FinalBoss129d ago

Oh boy, I forgot about Unreal Tournament! Such a good idea!

Yes there is many indie solo dev that works on UE5 'remake' which are doing a great job.
Like OverJump Rally - remaster of Sega Rally 2.
And Shenmue, that is entirely remade by a dev in UE5 as well.
