This looks every bit as good as any UE5 game I have seen. It also runs many times better. I would bet you that ANY gamer would prefer the smoothness visuals of this over the garbage of UE5.id tech isnt pushing any fancy graphics though despite pushing ray tracing. it looks like a last gen game.
what optimizations could they have made here?
These nerds have to complain about something. Otherwise, they wouldn't have any content and would be unemployed.
Some of the earlier UE5 games suffered from CPU bottlenecks due to UE5 being extremely single threaded. This was resolved by UE5.4. Every game since then that has issues is because these consoles are not equipped to run games at 60 fps while pushing next gen tech.
Some of the more recent UE5 games actually run at 1080p 60 fps. Expedition 33 and Mafia both target 1080p 60 fps. mafia has some drops while riding cars through the open world but during normal gameplay its mostly 60 fps. UE5.6 is supposed to make hardware lumen performant enough so that it runs at the same performance profile as software lumen. They already showed Witcher 4 running at 800-1080p 60 fps using hardware lumen.
Arc Raiders is a good example of a UE5 game that runs fairly well at decent resolutions. You dont HAVE to use next gen features like lumen and nanite to get a decent looking game built on UE5. Split Fiction does the same.
So much exaggeration in this post its ridiculous. Pretty sure you are just trolling at this point. No point getting into a serious discussion with you anymore. You have turned into a parody of yourself.
basically, yeh, I just wish one or more of of these studios called them out on it, I'd love to see DF attempt to make a game in UE5, they should make a video series out of it, show us how easy it is to make an amazing game with no performance issues, do it DF

Decima is great but does it have the same level of lighting that UE5 does? I don't think it does.
I now make sure what I am buying doesn't use UE5, if it uses UE5 then I'll skip the game(regardless of how much I want to play it)
I think YouTube forcing creators to do long form style videos to get monetization ruined things. So many creators really don't need to have their personal opinions heard if I'm being honest - just show me how to make a demi-glace and be done with it.
Really wish more devs used Crytech more but that company has a lot of issues. Still, results are damn good.
go look at the DF review for the ps5/series version of star wars, all the comments are crapping on it cause of the terrible IQ at 60fps.
better than budget or mid range PC thats for sure.
Doom TDA with standard RT is quite demanding and runs comparable to UE5 games. With PT the performance is absolutely tragic in DOOM TDA. Even PT in black Myth: Wukong is less demanding and way more scalable. The graphics in DOOM TDA is OK, but the best-looking UE5 games are in a different league when it comes to assets quality, especially texture quality.
modern UE5 games are no longer CPU bound, they are entirely GPU bound.
i have tried some games on the PS5 and the 30 fps modes look great because they run at 1440p internal resolutions. FSR, TSR and TAAU can do a great job upscaling 1440p to 4k.
I thought this was one of their better discussions. They do blame the engine in that they are you gotta leave out lumen in games like High on Life 2 that dont have any dynamic lighting or day night cycles. Clearly lumen is expensive but they have also played games from other engines that push these next gen features and they are just as expensive. At which point, its not always the engine's fault. if the engine was at fault then you wouldnt be getting 1440p 60 fps games like split fiction and arc raiders from UE5. Reanimal came out recently and looks great on consoles. Doesnt use lumen or nanite.
it was also behind the biggest GOTY winner of all time last year.
Ah yes, the games with an RTGI resolution so low that it misses half the objects on screen....and when you are on PC and turn on PT it suddenly is just as heavy as any other PT mode in other games. Almost as if there aren`t any magic shortcuts with that tech beyond what is generally being used already, only compromises.
The funny thing about PT being expensive to run is that no one on PC makes threads like these asking about why path tracing is so expensive. Because it just is mother fucker.
Witcher 4 and Epic devs said that they have resolved the traversal stutter with UE5.6. So you dont have to wait till next gen. Whenever that might come now that its been delayed.
Yes, but to be fair you can't really expect tech know how from the casual mainstream. They only see bad performance and IQ and are ofc looking for a scapegoat and Epic's marketing did their best pretending that the consoles could actually punch above their weight with UE5 out of the box which is simply not true.
