Hope for improvements on UE docs, for all tools - editor, blueprint, c++, etc, as currently if you're not partners with Epic, you're going to have hard time while learning the tools
and Audio
If Epic implements this, it will be the final stake in Unity's heart.

SUPER SUPER EXCITED for the next stage of unreal engine and the new tech thats coming!
Massive flock of players upgrading their rigs incoming?
I love this update! The rigging part is INSANE.
Ohoo boy! 🤩 Goodbye Autodesk with outdates features and very expensive costs. I am very glad everything can be done in Unreal, free creativity business is the best.
500 animations free ??? 💀
They're going all the way 💀 Epic Games is crazy
Yessir

Great presentation! Happy to see how the amazing software are growing so fast and opening a lot of new possibilities to create new games, animations, movies! This is tomorrow...
I love Amy Hennig works , she wrote my favorite game Legacy of kain I think it's one of the best dark fantasy games stories out there , it's just sad to see her hype a super hero empty game that will defiantly flop but it will sell cuz the people never learn .
I also got tricked and hyped by trailers and bought games on release like fallout 4 and was underwhelmed
It's sad that the best game I've played I enjoyed and really got addicted to and invested with it's world is Elden Ring , it reminded me that games still worth it
I hope the industry leaders see the flaw and but down the greed , games are a huge market and hyping and tricking people will work for time then it's going to be disaster
Games aren't like movies , you still can go back and enjoy older games and that's what a lot of people recently are doing
As a long-time developer, modder, and player, as soon as Chapter 5 came out I noticed the animations were incredibly fluid and I would cycle them in different directions while just appreciating what was going on. Now I see why! I 100%'d LEGO Fortnite up until the update for Chapter 2, and it all really shows the amount of effort put in. I played on PC, Xbox One, AND Nintendo Switch, and the performance and intricacies were so obvious and clear to see. When I first started doing CZcams videos as a kid in 2006, I dreamed of the future, and what a lot of people today don't realize is this is the future, we are here.
@UnrealEngine Implement contextual search and ability to download to PDF/XML for import into an AI LLM training model would be the game changer.
Animation tools look amazing.
Rise of Hydra is blowing my mind.
I can't imagine world without Unreal engine and Epic! Amazing Work you are doing, Amazing Work!.
I REALLY hope that improvement to parallelism is actually a big one. I am a little afraid it’s not as I feel like they would’ve talked about it more, but it’s one of the biggest things I think need to be improved about game engines in general, not even just Unreal, but it’s especially good it’s happening in Unreal given how many games use it.
Games nowadays are becoming extremely CPU limited. Our GPUs are extremely powerful but the games we play have engines that really only utilize single core performance and therefore hold our GPUs back. Why? We have processors with 16+ cores now available to consumers and we still are using mostly a single core? It’s such a waste, and pointless performance loss. We have the hardware, now the software needs to actually utilize it. It’s easier said than done of course but this is the next thing that needs to happen for games to have vastly improved performance. Unreal 5 specifically is extremely expensive on the CPU. But it’s not because the latest i5, i7, and i9 can’t handle it. It’s because it’s using a small percentage of the horsepower available to them.
Yes, the Marvel 1943 "demo" or "technical snippet" looks fantastic, but it's hard to get excited over a concept that may not be fully realized by the time the project is finished due to current console hardware constraints. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about Fortnite and Lego updates as those are basically locked in at this point.
Yes... I'm very cautious about such demos nowadays while looking from a different perspective. While it looks impressive and very much cinematic, it doesn't mean anything if there isn't actual gameplay.
It looks so forgettable
Amazing. Glad to implement the animation features into my game
It looks awesome. I would preffer such sceneries:
1. Beautiful rustic nature with rustic old village houses
2. Fantasy with castles, tombs, vulcanos, lava, forests, magic.
3. High tech modern futuristic space scenery.
4. I miss some cancelled Unreal 1 effects like fog light, fire light.
5.I would like to see place with multiple see through portals for example one in dusk or dawn in lava world leading to evening in cold mountain snowy world, other one leading to the forest in noon, at other one to the spaceship place where spacesheep is in space nebula. It would be great to have different worlds within one level with one knot/node world habing see through portals in proximity each leading to different worlds with completely different settings and time of the day from each other. One could have 3 suns, other one could be revolving around huge planet on the moon of that planet, other one could be in deep space, another one in lava world with dense dark violet or blue or red clouds like in quake 1 and dark castles and lava, another one winter world at night with snow world and another one beautiful noon in the rustic forest with ooolllld vilagr, another one on modern spaceship, and anotherone underwater base and another one on Mars or Venus. It would be great to have multiple settings in one level with see through portals where you can look from one world to portals leading to other worlds and jump between them.
UE5.4.1 The bug issue with the motion graphics function remains unresolved, the same as before; Especially when generating SVG models and opening them after saving, if the axis center point automatically deviates, the use of the animator function above is also prone to failure. When the animator switches to Sequence control, the effect is unstable or ineffective. Material designers cannot save multiple effects, and custom colors for material design become invalid after switching text parameters to semi transparent----Recently, text bugs have been discovered, text animation strokes, the preview window is normal, and the MRQ rendering output has no strokes. After the preview stroke is saved, it directly returns to the default first material when opened, as well as texture cloning, and the preview and rendering output effects are unstable.
20:18 Simon out here looking like my high school woodwork teacher
How does one build the camera rig the guy on stage is using? Is there a guide somewhere?
Great presentation. Congrats to all involved!
Head over to Baldurs Gate 3 and stare into the fire with max setting. Most beautiful thing u ever seen and a good way to heat your room at 2 am .
Well done!
UE 5.x is a another significant leap for Epic and whole industry. Clearly Epic with UE wants to be the first who enters and wins the uncanny valley. I am only missing OG Unreal Tournament... not sure why Epic dropped its development and not even supports UT3 anymore.
A little disappointed that there was no tak of Project Avalanch, but everything else looks pretty cool, I'm excited for the future or UE!
Its in the preview release though and several content creators already have looked at it, if you just wanna get an introduction...:)
@@samuelenslin1850 I've already tried it, it's pretty similar to c4D's moGraph, it just appears to not be a priority, which is the main reason why it is disappointing
Did they release the project files with the 500 animations yet? I can't seem to find it
No, they said they are still refining it and won´t release until full release, so still a few months possibly.
The 500 animations are coming "later this year" after 5.4
R.I.P Unity
I noticed, everyone was called by their full name except for Michael - Live Production Director 🙃
That's his full name, guy was born with a purpose
12:42 even CZcams has pain showing this in 1080p hahha
I knew I recognised that voice from somewhere, it's Ezekiel from The Walking Dead !
I said the same thing, I like him as an actor but idk how I feel about him playing Black Panther sir, he look like he mixed with Namor lmao
@AdrianTruth same but I'm sure he'll do OK. Maybe he sounds a bit old for the game character
Incredible presentation. I can't wait!
nice stuff but how can we download unreal marketplace assets directly? for linux users? please
1000 new features! 0 tutorials.
Es el render final el tráiler de Chrono Odyssey?
How to enable motion blur even in VR on Unreal Engine?
Amazing!
Hoping for C++ templates and tutorials for XR
Truly mind blowing
Dawg it's bewildering to me that these presentations (not just Unreal's, but so many in the games industry) are *so* awkward and uncomfortable. It's always as though the speakers aren't natural speakers (and I get that- then hire someone that is?), or they don't really know much about what they're speaking about (not the case here).
It does make it impossible not to see though once you've seen it once. That weird speak about the Epic Games Store. Weird.
Imagine if the same love put into Fortnite got put into Unreal Tournament instead.. still, the engine continues to impress
A new Unreal Tournament using this engine please & thank you 🙏🏽
Where is Tim Sweeney and Mark Rein?
Brilliant showcase! ❤
If only someone could produce a REAL 1st person shooter along the lines of Battlefield and Ghost Recon with this fantastic software - anyone out there? DO IT!
bruh no WAY this guy said inspired by yoko ono..
Who else heard "open metaverse" when the disney part was happening. The next few years are going to be different.
Thanks For Supporting Us!
Looks super awesome, something about the motion blur is alittle off for me though
Yeah. I think only Baldurs Gate 3 has normal blur and field of view blur.
Unreal for the people!🙏
Impressive progress !!
5.4 gonna be dope!
everdome metaverse is on ue5.. and i love it.. 2024
great show!
Netflix is using their product on the new movie . The movie is called Gangnam
can't wait
The new animations coming in chapter 10💀💀💀
UE is LOVE!
Please relist The Unreal Tournament games
exciting
Thi is UE-5.4 ?
50/50 game where man and NPC can both get on.
Unimaginable
Я вас обожаю просто
I was cheering as well lol
U wanted some unreal tournament? So u can create your own tournament 🗿
State of unreal tournament!
HEY FLAK! WHAT'S THE STATE OF UNREAL TOURNAMENT???
i just sit here waiting unreal engine announce new scripting language or custom language that easy to work with since c++ was too hard and blueprint was too mess. i heard unreal engine 6 will be doing some sort of custom language, just dont know when. rilex
woahhh
kyoryu !!!!!!
Awesome!
What about the matrix the demo they made that
The motionmatching looks awesome, when can I use it?
Ue 5.4 bro - you can already download the review Version
Yes but the 500 animations wont be out with 5.4
Would appreciate it if Epic would have fixed the documentation for Unreal Engine. The docs are very bad. Resurrected their forums and provided support for UE4. Otherwise, everything looks good...
It would be so great to be able to download the Talisman demo for UEFN or at least be able to play it!
Wowowow!
Топчик спасибо большое
Wait... isn't part of Weta owned by Unity?
You are the best!!
My unreal project keeps crashing when i try importing models, animation, textures etc i dont know how to fix it, Im new to unreal so if i could get some help it would be really nice
Comment 45, Love y'all spoiling Fortnite! Keep making the game look better than the best looking anime!
2:34 this isnt inspiring, it was made by the SON of John and Yoko, obviously it's going to get praise. The BTS even went up on the john OFFICIAL youtube channel to promote it. No hope for us indies on the State of Unreal stage.
1:04:54 - is she wearing prison garb?
Unreal Engine 5 looks super legit, and cant wait to see ACTUAL GAMES using it!
No mention of FAB?? wtf
True. Though we have seen a glimpse of its (alpha) integration in their editor. But I'm guessing they will talk about FAB in another video, since this was about Unreal Engine only.
Amy Kennig is a Living Legend !!
You mean the woman behind the goofy Uncharted Stories? Didn't move me an inch, to be honest.
Epic is the future. Keep it up guys :) people at unity has a natural hate what i totally understand :) Epic is far the best company :) i dont like fortnite, but im buying FN bucks just to donate this fantastic project.
wow
Cinema is dead!
But UE is the reincarnated future of the Cinema!!
Please make a new Unreal Tournament 🙏🏼
Where is the sample project located they promised?
wow lego must have really invested a lot of money in unreal. half of the presentation was a lego advert.
15:26 you actually could have shown each of Cap's foot prints dynamically leaving a trail as he walked here. Right now it looks like he's floating above slightly above the bridge snow. Would have showcased the tech you were talking about 1 min ago.
BTW Naughty Dog have been doing footprints for how long now?? No excuse for other game Devs not to have this in their games or demos in 2024!!
Well Naughty Dog has there Own Game Engine called Naughty Engine and Physics engine and some other stuff so they can get there own Engineers to add that in because they get paid to add stuff to there engine if they need to whereas Unreal Engine has Multiple things they are working on from Chaos and so many other things
@@RedBeardedJoe I'm well aware what ND have. My point is that in 2024 a lot of the tech that has been around for years, should be easily togglable in a game engine like Unreal (or even Unity), which the team should have done in their showcase last night. They literally just talked about dynamic terrain, then ignored it in the very next cut scene 🤦🏽♂️.
@@TheDomLouis curious... do you work in the games industry? If so, what do you do?
@@DaSquyd I do not full time currently. Did do back in the late 90s, early 00s. More recently I was the project lead on MonoGame Framework project when it started and people like Supergiant used it for Bastion or Polytron for Fez and others back then to get their XNA games onto other platforms. I'm currently on the board of the MonoGame Foundation. I'm using MonoGame on an after day job project.
I have been in IT etc for 30 years and I try to keep up with gaming tech. What about you?

What about you?
no AI?
Dear Amy Hennig, when are you going to make a sequel to Legacy of Kain? Why are you wasting your time and greatness with this marvel !@#$? "The fabric of time is ever-shifting. The ripples of your actions spread outwards, affecting all of existence"
Unreal is merging into one app... a baby terminator robot dress up kit.
You mean with all this technology someone can't come up with a real time universal language translator ?
Dune :D Open world :D MMO :D survival :'( rip
Did any (straight) African Americans consult in the look of the black panther?
I was wonder about his look too, he don’t look like An African king that hasn’t been touched by the outside world, he look mixed with Namor 😂 lol jk
This should have been 4K guys! Why 1080p???
this is the future of interactive VR game
