What is the most powerful game engine, Unreal Engine 5 or not?

[@mmatos7766]

GTA 7 ??????

my pc can't handle it.

@@ZiadAdel315 It's like consoles, it changes daily.. It's who comes out with the latest technology.

[@JaybayJay]

Finally gaming is almost to the point where I can create my envision reality for gaming.. I'm hoping to start working with a Non Profit Starter Assist company this year and next to lay the foundation for my studio which will be Unreal driven and I plan on working with Unreal and their Dev's to push this technology even further.. They're very close, but I actually demand more for my next generation of games and not just visuals.. I have a simple game envisioned that currently no studio is working on, and only few have come close to truly utilizing. I hope it will be funny, as well as fun and it will be graphic friendly.. The goal of the game will not be to push graphics but to change the mindset of current game developers and transition past this stagnancy of recycled games with just better graphics. Don't get me wrong.. They look beautiful.. Now I want my games to play beautifully. I wish I could tell you what I have planned..

I feel like the software will explode over next 5 years, more in 7 years by 2030. Hardware wise we will have many iterations of apples headset and have psvr3 along side meta quest 5. all headsets will have eye tracking, Full body tracking should be cheaply mass commercialized with all controllers having pro controllers level of tracking and meta at least will standardize face tracking. And most importantly, wifi 7 will be out if not the chance of 7e allowing for high end headsets to go wireless.

[@Stillahills]

When I see this, I think construction, new or a remodel. This looks like it could spit out abuilding plan in about 2 seconds with some programing. Real time changes, where an architect doesn't have to redraw anything. Anyone can play with the drawing as if its a game. The engine draws the building by its self. Might not even need an architect. A quick radar scan of the area, gives the software everything it needs to have a bench mark. Buildings are going to be so sick, like the golden age of construction iscoming.

[@Wr41thgu4rd]

Cry engine looked nice on the top 1% of hardware and that was about it. It wasn't very groundbreaking for the industry as a whole. Difficult learning curve with terrible documentation. Unreal goes out of it's way in ease of use while being adopted widely.

That leaf is now living a virtual existence in the bed of that truck. Just wow. I feel like a literal time traveler being born in the 80s and getting to see gaming progress to this.

As good as the terrain looks , the problem is when generated it’s 90% static, I think the next step has to be wind currents, like generating a gentle stream , there’s always a breeze , that like a flipped current affect , working top down , something always moves on the extreme leaves , or light plant, they have weight which dictates it’s degree of movement, without it it looks artificial this is where I feel experts can see if they can truly create a realistic model on demand hopefully before unreal 6.5
