I'll just wait for the Witcher 4 patch 2.0, which will release after 3 years from the original release date and will actually contain the advertised game.
...and be $15 on gog.com
Developers on suicide watch.
so more gwent distractions i hope
I hope they don't change the Gwent gameplay. The mobile version sucked
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.
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.
Others answered but it's easier/cheaper for them to use a vendor's engine. It makes sense.
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.
They claimed that it was expensive and was part of the reason for cyberpunk's turbulent launch.
It's a real shame though, most UE5 runs awful it seems, and are still limited by single thread performance, unlike RED Engine which scales far better with more CPU cores.
Tbh RED engine also has its plethora of problems, missing features, and makes it harder to onboard new team members (need to train on new engine instead of basically every single dev having experience with unity or unreal).
Not that unreal is perfect by any shots.
They ended RedEngine with Cyberpunk 2077, too much work. Everything going forward will be UE.
It's hard work to maintain and develop your own engine.
Fantastic news. I loved Witcher 3, we will see how good 4 is.
I should probably get around to continuing Witcher 3. I just have a mental issue with quests and choices blocking other quests that I just end up reading the wiki. Help me.
Don't underestimate the importance of playing snowballs
Care to elaborate?
You will know when you get to it. Be supportive dad.
Pshh, UE5 when the FreeDoom engine exists
