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.

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.

"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.

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.

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.

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.

Worked for Elden Ring.

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.
