They can disagree but it is an objective fact that it is lower fidelity in all aspects. You would even be better off running it on a Steam Deck.

i saids pick up and play

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Red Engine all the way.

Not sure why they went with UE5. Must've some reasons.

Still much more preferable than a general purpose engine.

 

[The Cockatrice]

It's not...like...it matters...besides this might be the first game made in UE5 by a massive studio, so we'll see how it ends up with Witcher 4.

If you have a preset you do just pick up and play it.

 

[Dazraell]

Might be a completely different game for all we know if they didn't mention anything about the 2077 sequel.

Their official website is pretty clear Boston studio is working on Cyberpunk. They also recently started referring to this game as "Cyberpunk 2" on their fiscal reports

Asmogold reacting to Threat Interactive talking about Unreal Engine 5?

What a hellish combination.
I dont even need to watch the whole video.....i already watched the Threat Interactive video so no.
Where is that uber effecient branch of Unreal Engine Threat Interactive......where!!!!!!!
Shut the fuck up till you got receipts.

^Note the link to their custom branch of Unreal lead to Epics official "public" branch of Unreal.....I guess he never thought people would actually check.



If the devs of RedEngine decided to move to Unreal Engine, who are we to tell them No RedEngine is actually better?
They moved for a reason, we have less insight than them.......as I trust CDPR im going to trust their judgement for moving to Unreal Engine with Extensions over them sticking with RedEngine.......easy vote.

I only care about a competent product. I leave those decisions to the experts.

Good thing that you can get a 9600x mobo combo for cheap.

By the time CP2077 2 comes out, I bet it won't really matter brand of GPU you go with.

... because there will only be Nvidia to choose from the way AMDs market share is going.

The guy literally has got brain damage. Cut him some slack.

It is fantastic in my opinion so long as the effort is put in not to use the generic broad stroke solutions.

That's kinda the point though - every major revision, UE was marketed as a shortcut to results, and it just wasn't the case if you wanted them to be good.

Unreal Engine 3 would need ungodly amounts of loading to even use the high fidelity assets and the world would need to be condensed into areas.

Sure - but in fairness at the time that was how most games were made, UE or not. Open world games of the era also looked substantially lower fidelity than level/region based stuff - it wasn't until PS4 gen that things mostly evened out in that regard.
But the higher end features of UE3 were mostly unusable on contemporary hw - even their showcase titles would cut that stuff down to almost nothing.

Unreal Engine 4 would be able to do it with less options for post processing and more cut backs to fidelity needed to run well on lesser hardware.

On console it was the '30fps + I/O stutter' tech stack. Getting it to higher fps required cutbacks that made it look worse than direct competitors (often substantially so - PSVR demonstrates that in spades where Unity games consistently look & run better), let alone anything more bespoke (eg. compare any UE shooter to any Frostbite shooter of the era).

The only ones having a panic attacks are those that bought a top of the line $2000+ GPU and are having conniptions about not being able to set everything to Ultra.

But it's not about the high end GPUs - UE5 on console brought us back to SD gaming (except with really bad temporal-stability), with rare exceptions. Sure - it's not the 'only' example of it, but I find some of the UE4 releases this gen - just plain better than all but 1 or two UE5 releases to date.

I have faith in CDPR talent regardless. But i do miss the days when companies roled their own engine. You can tell. Theres a difference.

 

[The_Observer]

Cyberpunk is one of my all-time favorites and having its own engine that is perfectly tuned for it is one of the reasons. So I'm not too happy that they ditched it for the sequel, even though I think UE5 can also produce awesomeness.

 

[MikeM]

... because there will only be Nvidia to choose from the way AMDs market share is going.

Possible but unlikely. Hell, Intel remains and has 0% market share.

 

[Lootlord]

If they could add something like nanite to RED Engine, then yeah, why not, cause that is Cyberpunk's biggest weakness (the pop in).

 

[Durin]

Of course it's going to be UE, they've already invested all this effort to work with Epic making improvements in the areas that have been terrible for the engine (multi-core CPU support, shader compilation, lumen limitations, world streaming, etc.) for a while now.

Clearly continuing to improve Red Engine was becoming untenable, and at the very least I'm glad they're going to make Unreal at worst less shit. Multi-core CPU utilization and the issues around traversal/compilation stutters are the big problems that if solved will make Unreal releases fine again.

 

[ReBurn]

I don't care what pot they cook in as long as they're cookin'

 

[Rockman33]

Don't think it's even an option anymore.

GigaBowser , if you are not a COWARD

Then tell us why you got banned the last time.

 

[ZehDon]

I thought I remembered someone from CDPR commenting that CP2 would remain on RED, while W4 switched over to UE5. Baseless speculation was that it was too difficult for CDPR to maintain one engine capable of doing both games justice. That might have changed since, however.

You might be too modest to say so GigaBowser but it's clearly you. Keep up the good work.

Did you watch the latest tech demo. I think it speaks for itself the fact it's delivering 60fps on consoles is ur answer. I'm for different engines but for me they are only a select few capable going forward, ue5/6, decima, battlefield engine think it's frostbite and the snowdrop engine. Of course others are capable but I'd say these are big hitters. Look what the partnership between epic n CDPR has achieved 60fps large open worlds on consoles fantastic move stick with red consoles users be getting 30fps and the fact it looks so good even though it's low pixel count doesn't matter always about the final image presented on screen. They didn't abandon red for no reason to pay a royalty to epic.

 

[Buggy Loop]

lol at that Threat Interactive video. After showing Witcher 4 running at 60 fps on the base PS5 looking like this, i think the guy should resign.

You still believe the promises of 60 fps from a demo and they'll keep it for final game?

After the whole gen of UE5 blue balling everyone from their early demos on PS5 to almost end of gen never delivering, I can't believe someone like you even believes this shit
