lol, just watched the PC video from DF.

the hardware lumen setting has RT shadows that look completely broken...

and people still claim developers aren't using Lumen as a crutch.
you can absolutely tell that Lumen is used 99% of the time not to make a game more visually impressive, but to take shortcuts and avoid needing to hand-adjust lighting.
having a lighting setting that completely breaks local shadows is so telling. noone working on the game gave half a shit about how it looks. just slap it on, and ship the game... that's the Unreal Engine 5 way. why care if you can automate it?
Lumen Slop.

same with the clearly incomplete shader precomp that gives glaring graphics issues and destroys CPU performance.
why care if the first time playing is awful? just ship it! the UE5 way of game development!
Some people here blame the hardware like saying the PS5 Pro sucks.
