The State of Unreal 2022 | Unreal Engine

[kitler53]

anyone else watching this?

i know next to nothing about game development but this looks,.. epic.   is this all marketing fluff or is this going to bring gaming development budgets to heel?   

[kitler53]

oh shame, are we going to get a gears announcement?

[kitler53]

false alarm.

[kitler53]

...but now the witcher 3!!

[kitler53]

false alarm.

[kitler53]

..but holy crud what is this?!?

[kitler53]

just joshing you now.  it's nothing.

[kitler53]

oh wait, crystal dynamic actually announcing tomb raider!

[the-pi-guy]

I was assuming it's just marketing

[kitler53]

it was a no trailer announcment.   new tomb raider in development on UE5.

[the-pi-guy]

Lol. We just started.

[kitler53]

pretty much just marketing.   i mean they reexplained the features that UE5 brings without getting into the details a developer would need to know to actually do a thing.

[the-pi-guy]

It kind of amazes me how often game development troubles come out as "engine issues".

[kitler53]

yeah.  agreed.

[the-pi-guy]

It's interesting to see so many studios moving to UE.
