Wonderful news. UE5 was a transitory engine far too ambitious for current hardware capabilities. I bet UE6 will suit next gen machines much better as the render paradigm will change accordingly with much better RT and ML capabilities.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

I can at least ignore Rocket League. I'm excited to deal with the inevitable shitshow that is UE6.

 

[\m/etalStorm]

From the things that Tim Sweeney said, its not like a complete new engine. Its UE5 + SceneGraph/Verse(For multi thread stuff) + Publish into epic ecosystem.
The last part is the most interesting one. If Epic wants to compete with Steam they have to bring up a fully new(!!!) concept that doesn't require indie devs to spend 90% of their time on marketing.
Fortnite has a massive audience, Epic collected lots of data. Maybe they use AI to show specific games to specific people. Who knows. I really wish the age of influencers ends sooner than later.

 

[Zamana]

"UE5" trademark has become so negatively looked that Epic just named the latest and most optimised and stable version of UE5 as UE6 and will go on and tell that hey gamers! look! how well optimised and cool UE is.

 

[Jinzo Prime]

Average is around 5 years, so not really.

Not for the recent versions of Unreal. UE3 lasted 13 years, UE4 lasted 7. Five years would be unusually short.

 

[amigastar]

Was thinking a few weeks back that we're coming up on the time for a new UE.

UE5 was 6mths before the new gen (PS5/XS) while this is 18mths, I expect we'll see some demos in the next 12 or so months.

Yeah, this one's much sooner but thats good i would say so devs can get ahold of it earlier.

 

[Lootlord]

Robocop

Robocop has lots of traversal stutter, especially the DLC.

 

[Roman Empire]

Unless it's a massive departure from the problems UE5 had, then nothing will change.

Another generation of UE slop games about to fill our libraries.

 

[peish]

Which AI features UE6 will have?

 

[cireza]

Awesome. More Urine Engine. Just what we needed.

 

[RCX]

They put it on Bluesky? Does that mean they didn't want anyone to know?

 

[Ribi]

I'll be there

 

[Shodai]

Gonna be interesting when they have AI integration everywhere (I'm for it 100%) in the pipeline and the internet rages.

 

[Signalis]

Great, now games will run even worse than they do now.

 

[Kerotan]

I wonder if they'll actually make a PS5 client now.

This is one of the weirdest things this gen. Million's still playing a PS4 version on ps5.

 

[nikos]

Imagine they announced it with a new UNREAL TOURNAMENT.

 

[nial]

This is one of the weirdest things this gen. Million's still playing a PS4 version on ps5.

Worked for Elden Ring.

 

[MazingerDUDE]

Now this is curious, I thought they were optimizing the UE5 to run hardware RTs on current gen consoles as shown in Witcher 4 demo.

 

[kevboard]

Robocop

Robocop has lumen boiling, traversal stutters, only supports software lumen, and every AA method except DLSS looks awful in motion

 

[Pagusas]

Crazy that some major AAA games launching this year and next are still using UE4!

 

[Nigel]

Another generation of dogshit ugly games that all look the same with very very poor performance.

 

[JCK75]

Hey you want another rocket League? How about one that will run like garbage no matter how good your hardware is?

 

[diffusionx]

Robocop

Runs like shit on base PS5

 

[MazingerDUDE]

Crazy that some major AAA games launching this year and next are still using UE4!

It's not crazy at all considering how good looking Stellar Blade is, and how poorly UE5 games are running on current gen consoles.

 

[StueyDuck]

genuinely the dumbest way to announce anything, a game that looks almost identical is the first announcement of an engine iteration which prior iteration still has a shit ton of issues

that crowd going mental is so contrived as well

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

UE5's reputaion must really be in the gutter for them to move on so quickly to UE6.

It's not really quickly, UE4 had 7 years of updates, when UE6 releases to the public UE5 will have a little over 6 years of updates, so it's about the same.

 

[March Climber]

People tend to erase the Covid years, that's why everything feels so much shorter, including the console generation itself.

 

[xrnzaaas]

I played on my 4070 and it ran buttery smooth

So a strong GPU for a 2023 game, Robocop definitely didn't perform that great on weaker cards (or on consoles). Don't get me wrong, it was perfectly playable, but definitely not the best example for showing that UE5 games can be super optimized (especially in a non-open world title).

 

[Bojanglez]

Did I just miss when it said Rocket League 2? Just thought it looked like an announcement that Rocket League will be moving to UE6.

 

[CentralScrutinizer]

Companies should go back to in-house engines. Unreal engine is ruining the industry.

 

[seb85]

Unless UE6 is more optimized this is going to be a performance disaster

 

[The Skull]

Can't wait to see the shader stutters on this piece of shit engine!

 

[nial]

Crazy that some major AAA games launching this year and next are still using UE4!

Which ones?

 

[Don Carlo]

Fix UE5 first

 

[MiguelItUp]

UE5 still so poorly optimized, but they want us to be excited about 6, hey alright, lmao.

 

[Mercador]

Unreal Engine 5, version 6. All vibe coded for your viewing pleasure. 24gb VRAM recommended.

 

[Bojji]

It will fix everything.

Is UE6 the woke slop?

 

[neo raider]

Is UE6 the woke slop?

Its purple?
Holy shit ResetEra is at it again

 

[tamago84]

 

[Puscifer]

They haven't even figured out how to make 5 run well yet. What could go wrong with UE6? Here we are, on the eve of the launch of the new version, and the ONLY UE5 game I can think of that I can say really runs great is ARC Raiders. Am I missing one?

And it only runs well by disabling everything that makes UE 5, UE 5, for all intents and purposes it's borderline UE 4.

This engine is hot shit 100% I say this is every UE 5 thread and it bares repeating but the actual documentation says to use upscaling and frame generation in your ability while optimizing. THEY KNOW its completely ass.

Oh man, two weeks until the 5.4.7 revision and it's really going to change everything this time.
