I answered. You just don't like what you read.

Lol no you didnt.

What I read is you are declaring this game the best looking without seeing anything else from both Sony or MS.
I asked you how you came to this conclusion.

So now are you ready to answer the question?

Here's what i was referencing

That is the exact same tweet I posted. Ambiguous were it could be here or there.

Just a guess, but the trailer?

Oh crap, my bad dude. I was multi tasking and went cross eyed i guess. Sorry for the confusion.

However, i did take it as him saying they were indeed using UE5 for hellblade. "many of our XGS studios are using Unreal, like the team at Ninja Theory creating Hellblade " seemed like enough confirmation for me. I do see what you mean though. He didn't straight out confirm it was being created in UE5.

He said using Unreal. I bet it was only built on 4.2.5 right now, and will be ported over, obviously. No big deal.

He could have just came out and said it, but he purposely did not.

Switching dev to UE5? See this game in 2023 then...

I think EPIC mentioned porting from UE4 to UE5 will be easy.

Considering that MS mentioned they won't be releasing an XSX exclusive for the first two years, that rules out 2020 and 2021.

The game could still be out by 2022.

 

[geordiemp]

All UE games currently on UE4.25 wjll move to UE5 when it comes out.

Question is does game X use the new subset lumen and nanite is what is being vague ?

 

[Geki-D]

UE5 games will only come out some time within 2021 according to Epic. ...Why did MS show this off so soon?

 

[Pallas]

So hellblade is probably a way out then?

Yeah I believe so, just my own personal opinion but late 2021 to mid 2022.

Enjoy not getting my $60.

Why is that?
You enemy of UE5?

 

[Masterbrew]

That explains it! Explains why back during the original reveal, Alex Battaglia from Digital Foundry couldnt understand how they were achieving such perfect LOD into the distance and dense geo.

Why is that?
You enemy of Microsoft?

The latest issue of Edge has a deep dive into UE5.

-It's not available till late 2021.
-Current dev projects begun using UE 4.25 will be able transition to UE 5 when it becomes available. "We're hoping to make the transition as smooth as possible. We're working on making any code API changes that we made a manageable change, so you wont have to completely rewrite your game code or game logic. Most of that is just going to work with UE5's APIs as well". Nick Penwarden, VP of Engineering at Epic.

Hellblade 2 has not been built on UE5. Nothing is being built on UE5 for at least the next 15 months.

It will publicly release in 2021, does not mean some devs dont have early access. Unreal Engine 3 was released alongside Gears of War and RoboBiltz.

Wasteland 3 releases in Aug and devs confirmed its built on UE5.

 

[Matt_Fox]

No I have to correct some of this misinformation, Wasteland 3 is not built on UE5. No current games are being built on UE5 - it is not yet available.

The Wasteland devs said they will be using it for their next project. A next gen RPG that will "be a while". Source below:

It will be a while, but it will probably be worth it.

Pretty significant news, couldn't get it in thread title of the main article thread but worth noting.

Correct me if I am wrong, but it had never been officially confirmed to be UE5 before. There was a vague tweet from Phil but that was it. IMO this is pretty exciting news.

I can't wait to play this
