This is just the landscape, there's no interiors, at least shown in this video, let alone npcs, quests, combat... And project like these get shot down pretty quickly, because you can't legally use those assets outside of the original game, since they often include third party licensed assets, which means you would actually have to build it from scratch like the skyblivion or skywind projects. Or reverse engineer the engine like openmw, of course if you have a few decades of spare time.

[@badashphilosophy9533]

My undertanding is that UE isnt optimized by default but can be optimized greatly by going through the steps, there are channels devoted to this, basically it comes down to turning off things that UE has turned on by default to help generalise game development so that people can get straight to making their game no matter what kind it is. the problem is when u make a specific type of game you should turn off all the features and plugins that your particular game isnt using but people dont bother to do that. Ue could definately implement some way to make this easier than having to do it all manually and basically learn the skill of optimization seperate to game creation skills, and maybe they have or are already working on it since its coming to light that unoptimized games are quite a drain, and when u look at them they dont even look like they should be draining so much compute coz they arnt bettter than like 2014 graphics, and it is a problem for consumers because they obviously have no control over what the devs choose to be lazy about. at the end of the day at this time with what is available it really comes down to the devs doing what they need to do to polish the final product because they could if they wanted to, its not actually Ue's fault they arnt doin that, Ue has made an awesome engine, free for everyone, with constant improvements and upgrades consistantly being added, theyve done a fantastic job, but yes on both sides more could be done for the consumers and since game devs dont seem to caare enough Ue could potentially try to make some improvements there but u cant say it all falls on them, that would just be a nice thing they could do for everyones sake.

so many people are freaking out that it would be unoptimized but especially with the tools added to UE5 by intrepid, legit its actually capable of being used to heavily REDUCE the weight thanks to some great optimization tools that cut down on the need for things like extra assets and textures and using better lighting models instead with things basically getting paintprushed on their textures into their geometry to not just make it LOOK like what you want it to but to make it ACTUALLY what you want because its not just basically wallpaper on foam style construction type shit. beyond this also remember, this is ONLY the map ported meaning nothing from the game is actually here with no systems especially are here. its literally just the actual playspace of the overworld open areas outside of the dungeons and cities.

I wouldn't care if Skyrim got ported over to UE5 infact I would welcome it as that would be cool AF. I would however want the Vanilla game to be untouched from the base game as it is now on the creation kit version as for me i'm not a hardcore player and if UE5 is mod friendly then it's easier to find modder's that want to make the game harder like survival mode and whatnot over finding modder's to make the game easier. Not saying there not out there, but it shows on nexus now that there's way more mods on there for difficulty over cheats and easy mode.

It's why Bohemia Interactive stayed away from Unreal and rebuilt their engine. People pushing Unreal are people not working in the industry and they're easily brainwashed by the presentation that Epic Games puts out. Fans don't want to create their own engine so they live with the illusion that with Unreal, just maybe they could create a game. It's why studios who build their own engine just roll their eyes at people who, have never run a game studio, give "advice" for them to move over to Unreal. If you’ve never made a game in your life then take a backseat and stop telling a professional company to switch to Unreal. The Unreal Engine has always been a good engine but it's waaaaay overhyped. And we need competition to get innovation. People are complaining about Nvidia dominating the market with high prices, yet they want the game development market to consolidate to the Unreal engine. Not smart at all. As far as this mod goes, it’s a cool concept as a mod but shouldn’t be a basis for ending competition in the market by ditching Creation Engine 2. Media consumption does not equal media creation expert.

Thats funny considering that Halo is being made in unreal engine and slipspace is being tossed to the side.

Because of these tools, you are right about people thinking they can make a game now that the barrier of entry is lower.
