I don’t know get why they would make it with UE5 when they have their own in-house engine.
FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org 5 months ago
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.
DrDystopia@lemy.lol 5 months ago
They ended RedEngine with Cyberpunk 2077, too much work. Everything going forward will be UE.
UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev 5 months ago
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.

It’s hard work to maintain and develop your own engine.
darthelmet@lemmy.world 5 months ago
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.

Developers on suicide watch.

Fantastic news. I loved Witcher 3, we will see how good 4 is.
kingblaaak@lemmy.world 5 months ago
so more gwent distractions i hope
storcholus@feddit.org 5 months ago
I hope they don’t change the Gwent gameplay. The mobile version sucked
darthsid@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Great - what am I supposed to do with this? Hope it’s not as shit as the rest of the UE5 games or Cyberpunk? Hope my hardware can run it? Have they learnt nothing from Cyberpunk? Like STFU and maybe show people things when it’s ready?
dabu@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Nothing. Not every information needs to be actionable by its receivers. Do not get hyped up but know there will be a next installment and wait till they show something.
darthsid@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Yeah - and us consumers don’t need every fucking milestone painted out either. We didn’t back this. Show it to us when it’s time or get the fuck out of my feed. But watch how they’ll go down the cyberpunk route and build hype over 7 years again to deliver a broken piece of shit on launch. Why? Because they made so much money last time doing it.
FelixCress@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Or you can moan a little bit more.
Ab_intra@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Cyberpunk runs on the RedEngine. This game will be the first for CDProject Red to run Unreal engine.
pivot_root@lemmy.world 5 months ago
If I recall correctly, the “next gen update” for The Witcher 3 was UE5.
ouch@lemmy.world 5 months ago
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.
secret300@lemmy.sdf.org 5 months ago
Did they fix cyberpunk yet?
Xenny@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Y’know they actually did
secret300@lemmy.sdf.org 5 months ago
Noice. I haven’t heard of anything about it since launch. They still updating it?
DacoTaco@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Yes but also no. Played base game recently, and i had a lot of bugs and frustrations. Some of them because i ran it from hdd, which is not their recommended way of media to install on, but some were clearly design failures and bugs…
toofpic@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I just finished four endings and am now grinding side missions. Through oner 90h of great gameplay, I had like 5 bugs (1 crash, 1 person walking on air, 1 body that rolled away like a car, 1 car stuck spinning wheels on a flat surface, 15 cases of “summoning” a car to see it dropping upside down 30 meters away)
I’ve seen worse in terms of bugs, and it’s an interesting game with tons of content and different ways to build your character.stevedice@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
Yeah, yeah, we know they fixed the bugs but did they fix the game? Do cops still exclusively spawn behind you so you can escape them by driving in a straight line?
TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 5 months ago
It’s aight now.
3060ti on endeavor getting 100+ fps at 1440. Some bugs here and there only seen one t pose in 40 hours

Just in time for me to actually play Witcher 3, I’m starting this weekend. I wasn’t big on Witcher 2 and just never got around to 3 until now.
NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Oh you’re in for a treat. The side quests in Witcher 3 are legendary. I love everything about that game.
De_Narm@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I sure hope so, I got quite burned on the last big budget game I’ve played years after the hype. God of War 2018 felt like a culmination of every wrong with gaming at that time (outside of mtx) and AAA games only got worse from there.
Berny23@lemmy.sdf.org 5 months ago
It is still my favorite game ever, regarding story, world-building, characters, music, quests and overall gameplay.
But it’s a bit weak on combat mechanics, there I prefer Elden Ring and Dark Souls 3.
darkkite@lemmy.ml 5 months ago
if you’re on pc. get the friendly ui mod and try to hide the mini map and use 3d maps instead. immersion is so much better
stevedice@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
This. I spent 84% of my first playthrough looking at the minimap.
x00z@lemmy.world 5 months ago
“Production” in software development means it’s available to end users.
At first I didn’t understand they meant development.
tburkhol@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Ditto. Was surprised to hear it that far along, with absolutely no prior leaks/hype, except maybe they learned from CP2077.
Eventually sorted out they mean ‘production’ in the movie sense, not the product sense. And I suppose that’s fair, given how much modern ARPGs incorporate voice & physical acting, foley work, motion capture, etc

Don’t waste your mental health getting mad at things that haven’t happened yet

Pshh, UE5 when the FreeDoom engine exists
net00@lemm.ee 5 months ago
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.
HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 5 months ago
…and be $15 on gog.com
epicsninja@lemmy.world 5 months ago
If only that was what Cyberpunk actually got.
