    Every game designed around the expectation players must use framegen has been a giant piece of shit because the developers just use it to do no optimisation. They run like shit even with framegen on because doing bad optimisation still results in hitches and stutters in various places that optimisation passes would clear up properly.

    I hate this shit. It’s kinda good in games where they’ve specifically aimed for the base game to run well without it, because you end up getting like 300+ fps when you turn it on and that shit feels great. But bad studios do bad shit with it.

      frame generation is the dumbest shit they’ve invented thus far

      Is frame gen when you can like see an echo of what just rendered? If it is, I hate that. Makes me feel like I’m drunk and high. Oblivion Remastered did this, and the performance was trash.

        That happens with some types of framegen at low fps. Or with bad implementations of framegen. It’s called ghosting. Happens with poor implementations of transparency effects, fogs and smoke too.

        I used to love glitchy effects like that in software in general when I was a child, the cursor trails setting in older Windows versions was unintentionally used to freak out my mother about the household computers being slow a lot because I just liked them, but that’s funny on stuff that doesn’t have to have low latency when you’re eight, it stops being fun when you get to a certain age and you also need quick response.

    This is a wild statement considering Gearbox didn’t even write the Unreal 5 engine.

      UE5 is even bad with Vulkan…gg EPIC.

      no-no-no-wait-wait-wait FF7 Part 3 is most likely going to be made with UE5

    Bruh. Isn’t borderlands 4 running on Unreal Engine 5? Gearbox didn’t even code their own engine so how on earth can he tell others to code their own?

      Maybe he wants more options for next time, with UE targeting the military sim industry more than games studios?

        Now I wish civilians could get our hands on military simulations. But then, the HOI players and the War Thunder types are bad enough with that, giving them something more realistic would be a Bad Idea… I just want to nuke the entire Anglosphere and see what happens!

        Hey, Britain, you guys fancy a game of Global Thermonuclear War? Lol.

    headline is both misleading and under-selling the pitchfordity. engine programming is a fuck and almost every big UE5 game has had some issues that are UE’s fault not gearbox’s but god damn he’s off the rails on everything else here.

      That doesn’t really explain how the headline is misleading unless I’m just not comprehending your point.

        i think it’s very mildly unfair to mr. medieval times because what he’s responding to with the “code your own engine then” is really about UE5 stuff

        i only care because he’s enough of a clown that the facts are him showing his whole ass and there’s no reason to bait

          It is not unfair to him. Dude was too lazy to make his own engine, goes with the biggest shittiest engine around, while telling other people to make their own engine. Doesn’t matter that the UE5 problems are not his ‘fault’ because he chose to use it.

    Randy thought he was going to become the Kevin Feige of the Borderlands extended universe once the movie came out. This is all he has.
