I forever wait for this course to support Korean subtitles.😀

[@TheJankyTank]

too much too fast, breaks too many things. Devs arent able to keep up with 5/5.1/5.2/5.3 etc. they need to update once a year and make it godly

[@bengalboy61]

I want that Battle Royale but lots of peeps complaining it wont play after download on Patreon , i tried to build with your tutorial but the Players Left widget has issues , is it cuz im using 5.3 i already own your survival tutorial so idk

[@Seancstudiogames]

This is Epic Games doubling down on supporting their community first. Building and developing in-house instead of looking to external service providers. Very exciting news for us developers!

[@FlamespeedyAMV]

for now

[@TheJungaBoon]

Sure would be nice if the also doubled down on supporting the series that made them who they are today. Right, Tim?

[@andrematthiessen5406]

you pay now to use the engine

[@damsen978]

Why would they? Fortnite is their new mainline series. Because it's much more profitable than a dead genre with many flaws. @@TheJungaBoon

[@otockian]

Theres actually so much more coming than this, because CDProjektRed is switching engines from their RedEngine to UE and in their developer diaries they already said they are already working with the UE team to take all the things that RedEngine does better than UE and to get those into the engine. RedEngine for instance is substantially better at multicore, so hopefully that is one of the things, Ray Reconstruction, etc.

[@HongPong]

intriguing that is good to know

[@suicidalbanananana]

The amount of misinformation floating around the web about this is crazy. - They are not "switching engine", they will continue work on their own engine while they first try and use UE5 for a Witcher 3 remake (being helped by another studio) and _MAYBE_ they will make the Witcher 4 in it if the Wither 3 remake will go well. - Companies don't tend to give away their secrets to others, especially if those others will give them away to everyone that wants to listen, you gotta consider the consequences of what you are saying, it would lead to direct competitors being able to read/copy their work, so while some CDPR dev might have had a good chat with some Epic dev where both of them think that they will share more work in the future, their managers/bosses/etc strongly disagree. Also, be extremely honest for a moment, does the witcher 3 really need a remake? (original game still looks and plays great?) and do you really believe that they will remake Witcher 3 with another engine with another studio doing a lot of the leg work _because they are interested in the engine?_ or do you think maybe all of this is just because they need a lot of money after the CP77 drama???

[@Vorexia]

@@suicidalbanananana First off, they aren't remaking Witcher 3. They're remaking the Witcher 1, which has a notoriously awful combat system, low-quality audio, too few NPC models, goofy animations, poor voice acting, and the graphics are charming but potato. Most (if not all) appropriately aged women were also really sexualized in TW1, which was pretty typical for games of that era, but it can be pretty uncomfortable seeing from today's perspective. I enjoyed pretty much all of the above, had a blast with that game and the jankiness cracked me up, but it's not good for a mainstream audience tbh, which is too bad since the actual story is genuinely amazing. It's definitely in need of a remake. Here's a classic video that shows how hilariously janky the Witcher 1 is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/maiwpZ2JqLuriq8 And another even better one, although it's a bit of a spoiler: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqW6maKlbqZ1ns0 Anyway, I don't know where you're getting all this information from. CDPR has already revealed that they're not only transitioning to UE5, but also collaborating with Epic to make a custom version of UE5 tailored to CDPR's needs. They wouldn't go that far that while simultaneously working on the RED Engine. It would be extremely expensive and labour-intensive to do both at once. No engine developer would intentionally help a competing engine developer, but if you're leaving your own engine behind in favour of another engine, and you still have expertise, it is a no-brainer to help your engine dev optimize their engine for YOUR needs. It's simple mutualism. CP77 has been a pretty nice success for CDPR, financially speaking. It launched poorly, but through years of bug fixing, it's managed to retain an active community. Phantom Liberty and CP 2.0 overall is just a resounding success for CDPR, and you have over 100k people playing the game right now. With the awful launch that Starfield has been, you have people going back to Cyberpunk and appreciating the lack of loading screens, the well-animated characters, etc. That game is aging like fine wine. If CDPR needed a quick buck, they could just make another two DLCs for Cyberpunk, because it's obvious by now that people are ready to buy 'em.

[@valmirius]

@@Vorexia you had a point about the jankiness, but I'm pretty sure mainstream audiences (the ones that actually play games rather than just talk about them) don't really give really give a fuck about sexualising women given how well Baldur's Gate 3 sold

[@Vorexia]

​@@valmirius That sexualization goes to a very different extent. In BG3, you have romanceable companions (both sexes) and the rare hot milf who shows off her cleavage. In TW1, iirc every single woman who gives you a quest is very eager to have sex with you once you've helped them out. Women not clad in revealing outfits are very rare. Then you have the collectible romance cards, which kind of explains itself. I assure you that a lot of mainstream gamers today would find all of that distracting and cringy, it's very above and beyond what we normally see in games.

[@ProfessorBooty69]

Bro baited us with Ana De Armas

[@phexus82]

Thumbs down for that fact.

[@screenapple1660]

Epic Games' current revenue is not publicly disclosed, but it is estimated to be around $6.27 billion USD in 2022. Wooah...... Some analysts predict that Epic Games' revenue could reach $7 billion USD in 2023. This would represent a growth of over 10% from 2022. However, it is important to note that the gaming industry is volatile and there is no guarantee that Epic Games will meet or exceed these expectations. The valuation for Unreal Engine is difficult to estimate, as it is not publicly traded. However, some analysts estimate that Unreal Engine could be worth anywhere from $10 billion to $20 billion USD. Wow. UE is crazy and insane...

[@hpjs-animation]

This is what I used to think - so Epic Games has been fortunate to be making that much money mostly from Fortnite and giving away UE for free all these years. BUT from the recent layoffs and Tim's posts and opening talk at Unreal Fest, sounds like Fortnite isn't doing as well as before, which is why they are talking about changing the licensing for Unreal Engine. Hopefully it remains free for indie artists and small studios.

[@thedefaultcube1218]

Thanks SP .....and 1/2 way through youre survival coarse on teachable! Starting the weapons chapter so im excited!

[@alejmc]

As a Unity user (because of ease of use, C# and baggage years on it), greatly appreciated that you went through IT ALL, came thinking I would see the first few minutes.. and here I am commenting at the 31:42 mark. Just subbed to your channel!

[@AlmazovS]

It's unfair to use Ana de Armas as a picture for attraction )))

[@WiseThoughts3]

To be honest unreal engine has a massive future

[@williamlacrosse9389]

I agree. The photoshop of the next decades. Everyone will use it!

[@suicidalbanananana]

@@williamlacrosse9389 Spoken like somebody who has no experience using it for extended period of time/releasing something with it, there is a reason why more and more people are moving AWAY from Unreal Engine even tho they keep implementing _even more_ fancy graphics stuffs, its somewhat hard to articulate the exact issues but it pretty much boils down to "absolutely amazing at doing really cool bespoke demo's and small scenes, but not good at combining demo's into some actual game that still performs well" @WiseThoughts3 Its not going anywhere any time soon, that much is clear, but pay attention to what they themselves are focussing on, did you notice yet that they are pushing more and more to become a tool in filming instead of its earlier goals? And did you notice the many many blog posts from game developers having tried UE5 and then deciding not to use it? I don't actually mean to be rude so please don't take my word for it and feel free to just go ahead and try make the projects you envision, but consider this a fair warning, you will likely hit a point somewhere halfway into development where you conclude that the engine you poured so much time into is not fit for your project, target hardware, etc. Graphics should never be the deciding factor for a game engine. Good luck both.

[@agerm2378]

Great video, thanks for the coverage!

[@boroborable]

that's crazy stuff. honestly they are all re-inventing what is needed to push the technology, unlike for the most companies.

[@HongPong]

appreciate all the summarization on this

[@hotsauce7124]

More new modeling features will be interesting. Will be cool to see more Blender and Maya type modeling tools in UE.

[@Archaoen0]

True, bot having to rely on other software is a great time saver and can also help with any issues that come up with importing different things.

[@user-kc6tm2fl1h]

That would be so nice.

[@Personian]

And judging on the direction they take the modeling and animating tools in Unreal, I may find myself just using the in-engine tools rather than using external tools like Blender to model and animate Would also be much easier imo so I don't have to port it

[@hotsauce7124]

Control Rig can be a bit more user friendly. Animating with the mannequin, the COG and the feet flip around for some reason. Rigging a dinosaur leg is extremely difficult to get right. You have to do some hacky keyframing to make it look right. But yes, I hope to model and animate with UE5, soon.@@Personian

[@ricardobino7410]

Unreal Engine is a BEAST! I don't think people really comprehend the amount of features the engine has.

[@maxmustsleep]

i feel like the next 2 years are gonna be amazing for unreal engine devs! with UE5.0 they've shown their dream for the future but unsurprisingly there were still a lot of limitations and issues. But now we're actually getting there and that's super exciting! Hopefully by then we can also get rid of some legacy crap that has accumulated. I can't wait to stop having to deal with slow HDDs and hardware limitations like DX12.1 not being supported. I also hope that Vulkan gets some love so we can get closer to feature parity with DX12 on steam deck and other handhelds.

[@juanmilanese]

great breakdown!

[@curioussoul5151]

Thank you so much!

[@SinanAkkoyun]

Finally a video I can watch while eating

[@lolmao500]

Good stuff about AI and a lot of things. Great summary. One big thing that apparently is really hard to do in unreal engine (or a pain in the butt) is making quests. Like if you were trying to make something like skyrim in unreal engine, making quests is really hard and complicated. I've heard this, I dont know if its true but if it is, seems to me Epic should do something to make it much easier. Also modding tools for Unreal Engine games should be something thats integrated so any UE5 game would have the same modding tools... that would be HUGE for modding... and make tools for modding easy. The best engine for doing quests and modding is Bethesda engine... maybe Epic should look at how they do it... and copy it/improve it....

[@SmartPoly]

I attended a session at unreal fest that detailed the storytech and questing system in the game hogwarts legacy. You can check out the full session on the unreal engine youtube channel. I’ll be making a video talking about all the stuff I learned from unreal fest!

[@HongPong]

the marketplace has a bunch of different quest paid plugins. it is hard to say what the engine API ought to be on this front - but can sympathize

[@ralphwarom2514]

Not really making quests isn't crazy hard. It takes some work. But nothing absolutely crazy. The part which needs legwork is all the items and such and other variables that can influence a question. Making complex quests with multiple solutions and some "emergent" gameplay is very worl intensive.

[@regular-user]

I gave up on Unity after the shitshow that happened and then also after making the switch to Unreal and seeing how dev friendly the engine was just sold me to stay with it. Not only do the graphics look far superior, but the entire UI looks modern and many of the default options already give you good results without many tweaks for optimization.

[@suicidalbanananana]

Obligatory "If you keep things default your project will just look and feel like an asset flip" comment. Good luck with your project.

[@regular-user]

@@suicidalbanananana I don't get your comment.

[@Personian]

And I like the direction Unreal is going. Unreal seems to be striving to make itself better, constantly adding new things to make development as easy as they can make it for Unreal devs, and making Unreal Engine live up to its name as UNREAL Engine. However, Unity really seems to be going the mobile route, and Unity really does seem to be better for mobile games.

[@luaykashef]

Unity is an embarrassment

[@JorgeRodiles]

[@user-kc6tm2fl1h]

For VR they need to make it easier for devs to get rid of those immersion shattering armless hands. And for Chaos, the ability to change variables at runtime. So you can do things like upgrade a car's speed or whatever else without having to close down the game. This is huge.

[@sinelacico823]

Armless hands are more immersive because the arm position isn’t an issue if its not accurate and it rarely is

[@Personian]

This reminds me, I think for AT LEAST just one Unreal update, Epic should turn most of their attention to the VR side of things. I feel like they haven't been giving that enough attention lately.

[@SigurdBraathen]

I didn't understand half of this, but I liked the video. Thanks!

[@Personian]

Fr why do they have to use this complex terminology lmao

[@erobwen]

I get the impression that Unreal is taking notes from Star Engine and moving to include things found in that game, like huge worlds server meshing and the likes.

@@suicidalbanananana Yes and no. There was indeed displacement in UE4 but the new one is only working with Nanite and is not exactly the same system/techno. But the result is the same ^^

[@NUCLEARARMAMENT]

​@@WiDOCWhy doesn't displacement and tessellation work on skeletal/rigged meshes? It only works with Nanite/static meshes? UE4 and even modern Unity supports it on animated/deformable meshes!

[@mrxcs]

So the version is following the year, so in 2030 we will have Unreal 6, I can't image what will be the big feature, the same way nanite and lumen was for UE5.

[@hpjs-animation]

So Ana de Armas in this video thumbnail was just clickbait 😟 I had assumed Epic Games had announced something related to Metahumans or Mesh-to-Metahumans but I don't see anything related to those - or Ana - in the announcements.

[@anymyo9882]

Its such a shame that NaturalMotion stopped the distribution of Morpheme/Endorphine/Euphoria for the Unreal Engine. Even back in 2009 it was possible to create 100% physics based and 100% synthesized on-the-fly animations with it. It contains a ton of behaviours which can be blended dynamicly to a RIG. From a self balancing RIG (with or without cheatforce support) to environmental reactions with a whide range of configurable parameters. All that potential is unused for about 10 years now. With that stuff available on the UE marked or directly implemented to the unreal engine itself, nearly everything would be solved when it comes to (physicsbased)animations/ragdolls.

[@MrSnaztastic]

Weren't they essentially bought out by Rockstar at some point? Euphoria's been exclusive to RAGE for a while now I think..

[@anymyo9882]

@@MrSnaztastic Not really. To my information, back then, R* was involved in the developement to some point (project Featherstone) and since then, it was part of the rage engine. T2 recently bought Zynga and now owns NaturalMotion as well. So now its 100% T2/R* exclusive. Im not sure if these are good news or not... Sometimes I think that these guys dont know what revolutionary tech they own and that they could earn a ton of money, if they just would distribute it the same way, Epic does with the Unreal Engine...

[@WillFalcon]

Engine is mindblowing and very nice, settings are amazint, but UI and other features such as control movements, objects, cameras, transforming them etc - IS A NIGHTMARE.

[@juschu85]

Start playing while the game is still downloading is a nice feature, but I guess it won't work on Steam if Valve is not also implementing something for this feature. But perhaps that's not even what Epic wants. Perhaps they want this to be an exclusive feature in the Epic Games Store and I wouldn't blame them for that.

[@maxmustsleep]

there are plenty of consoles that benefit from this. And if games support it more commonly Steam might want to add feature support for it.

[@abunknown234t7]

[@GAMarine137]

As someone who is trying to learn Unreal, the constant changes are actually a big hindrance. Yes, I have signed up for academy content but lessons can get get behind because now there are new ways of doing things. Makes it very hard as a newcomer to the platform

[@musicdudem6673]

Tbh I get it but just know that it’s a good thing, and this means there is so much that you don’t have to learn or worry about. Just focus on learning the new things coming out and practice while waiting, cause all of this is so much better than what we had to do even a couple years ago It’s overwhelming but knowing that all of these updates are eliminating massive workflows saves years off your life. I.e You can now just drag and drop lumen and focus on learning lumen instead of having to learn everything about lighting in 3d applications just to apply it in engine. Lumen alone is offloading an entire departments worth of education and work, so it’s def worth the trade off (Previously lighting was a nightmare amount of work, and even then it was still optimized and much better than the tools offered years before with dynamic lighting)

[@markcooke4866]

Unity is constantly changing things as well, and slower to move from experimental to stable.

[@7satsu]

​​@@musicdudem6673i always think of it similar, like something that would take you maybe 3 hours to learn, took others weeks, maybe months to get down just years ago

[@Seancstudiogames]

Alot of the knowledge is transferrable to 5. I started on 4.20. Blueprints, Static meshes, actors, pawns, textures Alot of that is totally applicable so keep on keeping on. I'm new to 5.3 myself but UnrealSensei's main video on the intro to 5.3 (the one with the castle) has been great!

[@topnumbers9228]

Keep doing the lessons, ones you learn things, new things become easier to understand and there are just extras that you eventually find out. Theres always gonna be new things that you have to catchup on and know no matter what

[@SmartPoly]

6th version will probably be 2030

[@maxmustsleep]

it's roughly bound to console generations, specifically PS. PS3 & UE3 -> 2006 PS4 Q4 2013, UE4 Q1 2014 PS5 Q4 2020, UE5 announced Q2 2020 (with a PS5 demo), launched in early access Q2 2021 we'll have to see how the major players handle the next launches. some rumors say that sony will skip the pro version and get an early next generation as early as 2026 or 2027, microsoft is planning more towards 2028 which sounds like a decent timeline for a new UE release, though it's tough to imagine they will get another massive jump like nanite and lumen, it'll probably be a smaller change with lots of great incremental increases in the meantime. maybe a refactor to cut out some legacy stuff, maybe a stronger focus on their new programming language Verse (should that take off) UE also has slowed down their release cycles a little. It used to be 3-4 releases every year with UE4 now its about 2.

They don't care as long as it kinda works, UE is for cool demo's, massive game studios, or film. Even tho it they sure advertise it as such it's not really fit for indie projects with just a single or a few devs.

[@maxmustsleep]

@@suicidalbanananana oh we've been doing just fine the past few years since i started playing around with it in 2016.

[@maxmustsleep]

source builds are really not that hard once you know the C++ basics (which you want to have if you're developing games that need a dedicated server) you usually want to have a source build on larger projects anyway since they're easier to maintain in the long run.

[@TrojanLube69]

@@maxmustsleep if you want to upgrade engine versions is much easier on a built engine than source if you haven’t messed with modifying the engine. Even on small projects it takes longer. Is not about knowing c++ or not. I’ve in software development - coding for over 17 years. Yes, C++ is way easier to maintain due to the organization as long as you follow the coding standards . The point is not using c++ or blueprints. The point is having to build engine from source. This is “one” of many reasons many big project multiplayer titles never upgrade after starting to build a game. If they do it, it would eat development cost of over 8-14 months depending on how complex they have modified the engine or just used engine code only. Also, another reason why big companies prefer starting a new sequel from scratch rather than upgrading and re-using code. At this point I am considering investing a year or so creating a production ready plugging for developing and updating dedicated servers without any need to build from source and maintaining server builds. Even a plugin like this would require some work when upgrading engine versions to take advantage of new features or even longer if a core dependency/class is modified on the engine to work with a new feature.

Omg

[@gavinwigg8057]

I love this, but we're still years away for ultra high end games coming out using all of these amazing features.

[@CloporteIsBack]

What's the point with Ana de Armas ?

[@SmartPoly]

my next project

[@jaysonmartin1542]

did you use ana for clickbait?

[@user-xj3yo9sy3l]

Bro where is Ana

[@erickmoralvocal8586]

You forgot to mention a paid subscription system...

[@Saucebrunette]

Is "Make games not run like shit"' on the menu for 2024?

[@Personian]

Epic has been working on that for a while, but unfortunately it can be extremely hard to get right, especially for engines like UE5 that is capable of tons of things

[@Arnoud-nf6iz]

20 fps desasters are comming only 50gb vram needed

[@wolfwirestudios]

Unity who ?

[@thoobonator]

I wIsh they would just pause a bit and fix all the annoying stuff in the engine.. Stable hotreload... Ability to disable an actor easily... Documentation of c++ functions... Multiplayer multiple controllers split screen not working at all on mac.... Soooo many small isues in basic stuff making the basic developer experience a pain.

[@CaptainMcFly1]

Which minute I can see the woman?

[@Possessed_Owl]

Everything looks so great in these presentations, it's a pity, they are useless in real life.. What would I like to see in the future EU? - many more possibilities related to OPTIMIZATION.

[@George-um2vc]

Agreed, wake me up when shader compilation stutter is solved (or massively improved) and the inherit poor CPU utilisation is remedied 🥱 No point in all these features in the games run like trash even on a 4090 and flagship CPU.

[@edenassos]

How do you know shader compilation isn't improved? There are no games released with post-5.2 UE PSO Precaching.@@George-um2vc Gotta love these people who know nothing about gamedev talking out of their rear end. Also, I doubt you have a 4090. You smell like one of those that still has a 1060.

[@George-um2vc]

@@edenassos Woah! straight to hostility and assumptions? ease up partner, I’m not your enemy! If you want to know more about shader stutter and it’s current solution watch Digital Foundry’s review of UE5, they will explain far better than I can, as you are right, I’m not a professional game dev (although I have dabbled a bit on my own) I do not have a 4090, I have a 3080ti, and have been watching videos of people benchmark the 4090 since it released over a year ago, paying particular attention to UE5 demos and now with the first games from that engine, my conclusion is that UE5 is still in a poor state to ship well optimised games which is concerning. I hope with that information I can ease your frustration with my comment, cheers.

[@plamenaleksandrov7739]

Is that Riley Reid on the cover video? 😅

[@svens3722]

PLEASE TELL ME WHERE U GOT THE ANA DE ARMAS MODEL, I MAKE INSTANTLY A SIMP GAME FOR HER

[@svens3722]

i think i know how

[@svens3722]

thats not fair, i dont have zbrush :(

[@HeArtTleSS_YT]

I just need an decent Laptop 😭

[@Serverlands]

As if we needed it - EVEN MORE reasons to abandon Unity

[@hatabivanish6260]

ahaah

[@Personian]

As if the crap Unity pulled earlier this year wasn't enough lol

[@micnolmadtube]

it's UNREAL ENGINE, not unrel enginch....

[@FlamespeedyAMV]

Keep in mind, Epic games will probably do the same eventually as Unity did

[@maxmustsleep]

not any time soon if it stays a private company. also the EULA allows you to keep using your current license indefinitely with your current unreal engine version, so even if it eventually switches you can choose not to update and accept a new EULA.

[@Personian]

I doubt it. I'm sure Epic saw what happened with Unity when they did that, and unless the higher-ups at Epic are just insanely stupid, I doubt they're gonna try

[@blakegt.7326]

Better FPS..... hopfully, UE5 is useless for game development, non production ready, FPS is tragic, specially for console.

[@zedetach]

It's a shame that the thumbnail of this video will never be a reality in a wester game given the obsession that western dev's have on ugly women.

[@soundgod3336]

Dont forget. It will no longer be free

[@steffethegreek]

it will be free for game developers

[@UnrealG99]

99% of use will never get affected by the recent changes . Idk where you came up with the idea that Unreal will not be free

[@SmartPoly]

Not true. It will still be free for game developers. However all other industries it will be a per-seat license, ONLY if you have a commercial project that grosses over the "revenue" threshold. And students and educators it will still remain free. I don't think this will affect most users, only people who are making lots of money off Unreal Engine.

[@lamarwealthchild6199]

Wrong game engine my guy unity game engine is that way 😂

[@soundgod3336]

@UnrealG99 News feed on Google says they laid off 16% of their work force. They will be charging a monthly or annual fee in 2024. A subscription. Not making it up.

[@2010Edgars]

Its your effective target to make stupidy ugly voice?

[@petertremblay3725]

High detail game on mobile is the most ridiculous waste of time, there is no point having high detail on such a small screen!

[@Archaoen0]

Mobile gaming is the money maker these days, and i personally believe that this is mainly for that metaverse and VR kinda stuff anyways

[@petertremblay3725]

Well by seeing the state of the world currently i think we don't have for very long before something not so pretty happen!@@Archaoen0

[@Personian]

W respect to them for at least trying ig
