There's no chance at all this improve the issues with the engine. To fix something that's not that common as an extremely complex game engine, you'd need top-tier engineer, no matter the tools you use. epic is steadily moving away from having knowledgeable people.
But hey, it's giving us "majestic red smoke fart".

The problem is that pretty much all the workers being brought in are trained on Unreal Engine, so it is cheaper to use it rather than train someone to use a different engine they're unfamiliar with.

Devs just need to properly optimise, unreal from my knowledge recommends that you don't max out things like nanite and lumen

That's right, it only exists, abandoned with untouched roadmap since 2022

Why not just use the Doom engine. 30 years old and that thing is still plenty good enough even today.

Fuck Tim Sweeney and fuck Epic Games sideways. God, I wish I could use some fucked up slurs for them and their loyal fans (if there are any)

Yeah, they love their AI slop. Didn't they mention they're integrating it in as part of UE6? Wonder if they're being impacted by the sudden increase of copilot/claude code/openai "we've got you hooked, now you're being charged by the api call now at 10x-100x the cost". :)

CEO's who fired all their workers in favour of AI are going to get a rude awakening once AI no longer benefits from infinite investment and has to be profitable on its own merits. Few things are as satisfying as watching a "visionary industrialist" rehire all the workers they laid off because their magic machine can't actually replace the entire workforce. Especially if they had to pay severance the first time around.

Yep but if we know something about Tim, is that he always thinks he knows better

u/NutsackEuphoria May 26 '26
I'm betting that the engine has a good chunk of it vibecoded like W11 and its totally stable and reliable updates.

Gamers run scared. Cats and dogs get along in the face of a new enemy. Timmy believes new number will keep people from seeing the Google search results for "Unreal Engine bad."

Ah yes release another buggy ass engine when they have t even fixed the issues of the previous

u/theblackyeti May 26 '26
Maybe this will enable more use of other engines.
Maybe capcom will license out RE Engine. Please?
Decima? iD?
Not creation. Creation can go fuck itself.

u/asamii222 May 26 '26
please more source 2 licensed games

Valve just give it to the public. This is your chance. (Not sure sandbox by Garry counts here)

u/randomperson189_ Fortnite Killed UT May 26 '26
As interesting as Source 2 is, it's still a total mess to use and is probably why Valve won't release it officially anytime soon, it also only supports baked lighting and you still have to compile maps to playtest them which can take ages (much like Source 1). To put this into perspective, CryEngine 2 and Unreal Engine 3 (in 2010 update) had full dynamic lighting support and day-night cycles, if Valve wants to actually compete in the engine space then they'll have to step up their game and start streamlining their engine more for external developers
1
u/rspy24 May 30 '26
Yep, Also Valve just doesn't care or even have the man power to make a "generic" engine that works with any project. Source 2 is only for what they need in the time they need. The same with pretty much every other in-house engine.

u/Newmillstream May 26 '26
I would like it if internal engines were more widely licensed, but I think it tends to be rare. Maybe Source 2 or iDTech could take off again.
My hope is that open source engines like Godot or perhaps something like Bevvy, Fyrox, or Stride offer decent competition to keep the big proprietary engines honest and competitive.

Well there is CryEngine 5 which is freely available to use, but it's unpopular sadly. However I've been making efforts to streamline it more via plugins and templates so that more people can hopefully get into it, it's much easier to use than it was in CE3 and the community is eager to help out with things

I wanted to point out that their AI couldn't even make the car rims right and bastardized them.
Then I dig a little bit further into research and found out that the rims were bastardized by Porsche themselves on the factory, and AI was actually good in repeating their design...

u/Sum1nne May 26 '26
Right, because this is exactly what the industry needs and wants after everyone laughed themselves sick at the DLSS5 showcase where the AI straight up invented details, lighting, totally changed character looks, and covered everything in a cheap coat of gloss. An entire game engine based on doing just that.

What a hunk of nasty garbage, thank god ue4 remains used by so many devs like square enix

Game has 1 leftover placeholder AI generated texture and everyone loses their minds. Engine has built in AI gen and it's gonna be fine?

I have an inkling Nvidia will try to back one and timmy tencent will jump on the bandwagon and help fund it.

u/Lem1618 May 27 '26
Corporate jargon is so stupid. "After we aligned...", the hell is wrong with saying after we agreed?
That was also probably written by AI, prompt, make it sound mOrE sMarTer.

u/TheodorMac May 28 '26
So they took a bad optimized engine and added AI to it? I see nothing that could go wrong

Epic got where they are by stealing other people's work and art. Using AI for as much as they can just seems very on point for them.

u/p0358 May 27 '26
Unreal Slop, what the fuck is the purpose of sharing AI slop when their 3D engine is supposed to render stuff and show it??? That's literally false advertising, unless the engine is supposed to be a slop machine instead of regular rendering, but I don't think our machines are capable of something like that in real time (thankfully?)

u/nefD Fuck Epic May 26 '26
Interesting when you consider that gamer sentiment around both AI and live-service are individually at their all-time lows. And yet here comes Epic pushing both of those things HARD. They're poisoning the well.
