What sucks is that UE seems to almost have a monopoly on engine leasing. I wish there were more options. Having all games use the same engine is putting too many eggs in the same basket.
Aside from doing the work to maintain and update your own engine, there is also the problem of onboarding new hires. If you use a standard you can go out and hire people already experienced with working on the engine. If you use your own, you have to teach a new hire to use it before they can be any help.
I read that this caused a lot of development woes on Halo Infinite for example.
Cool, can’t wait for the stutter, as per every other UE5 slop to come out
Expect minimum requirements = 5070ti,
5090 recommended for 60 fps with DLSS
I don’t know get why they would make it with UE5 when they have their own in-house engine.

They ended RedEngine with Cyberpunk 2077, too much work. Everything going forward will be UE.
