Great video... but the deal here is the engine is having growing pains from trying to be more than a game tool ... A realtime rendering platform for the likes of Disney and other major live media outlets "Weather Channel etc" Its even written all over the pricing model changes that came this year. UE5 is trying to grow into more markets and unfortunately the Game Developers are having a hard time knowing where the line is between "game tools" and "realtime rendering tools"
I like your insights and tone of voice. Made me subscripe, thanks.
I'm yet to finish the video so I'll update as I go along.
Have you thought that these early issues could be just that, game companies have not yet learnt it's full capability, and of course they all wanted to be the first game to use UE5, right? So rushed. And as for the layoffs, not that it's good or wise but it seems it's due to the new tools in UE5 make things a lot simpler, so skills are becoming redundant. For example, the Ai driven procedural landscaping tools, they are amazing. So many positions would have been design and asset creation which is just no longer required, sadly. Devs need to unionize against Ai as fast as possible if they want safety, but that's another subject.
I liked the comment "adding visuals to middle size game" - I agree. I have played Vampire survivors, this year and OMG what a game, so fun, so many features baked in to such a what looks at first glance a simple boring game, but it is not that at all, and it's pixel retrovania style, love it!
Don’t blame your tools.
Bad craftsmen/women always blame their tools.
UE5 is literally UE4 but with more features, fixes, and QoL improvements for developers. You can use it to make whatever kind of game you like, that looks however you want it to look.
The problem isn't the engine, it's the developers.
man, be more pointy... you talk like lost somewhere... just clarify your subject, then make a good video.
Ah yes, blame engine instead of shit developers that use it...
