UNREAL ENGINE 5.5 vs UNITY 6 | Insane Next-Gen Graphics and Best New Tech Demos

[@user-ly5fe4kt6e]

Unity tech demos are made by top professionals, with a lot life-hacks, custom settings, tools and more. Unreal Engine tech demos are what every user has access to, and what you get out of the box.

[@impheris]

not exactly true...

[@DicardoGroup]

Exactly true , But I'm a unity guy and cinematics is not why I'm in love with it ...

[@therealpeter2267]

Both are made by top professionals, but Unity also employs tech artists to create the fancy smancy effects, that is true. Still, you can make what you see in both, but in Unity demos they like to create custom VFX like that owl thingy in the Adam demo. It's probably made with the VFX graph, which you can use in Unity, but you obviously need a lot skill to do it as well as they did. Unreal demos tend to use simpler effects that intermediate users can mimic, like that portal at 16:30. Unreal tends to focus on ease of use and Unity tends to focus on flexibility, even if that flexibility comes at a steeper learning curve.

[@krzysztofdeoniziak5618]

Unity still has a very long way to go, first of all, those reels of theirs are very pretty, BUT too often it turns out that there is custom hardcode stuff in the engine, in an engine that is close source. Too many lies about the fact that they rewrote the render engine(and the hacks that worked in the previous one to get something, still work in the new one) or that something is production ready, where teams go into it, only to find out after a few months that there are a lot of imperfections that can't even be worked around.

i prefer unity purely because of how humungously heavyweight unreal is, i simply find the products to be stuttery lagging messes. unity always runs smooth on the potatoest of hardware and can acheive similar graphics visuals. from my own experience unreal games can look good if you have a super expensive PC but i personally see unreal games as huge loading screens with buggy graphics especially around effects and transparency. also there are A LOT of lighting bugs around the unreal engine games ive played that didnt come from a full on industrial studio.

@@Abosone Characters in eastern games are often highly stylized, or designed for straight appeal. While Western designs might not be as conventionally attractive, usually, they have a lot more storytelling built into their character design. Ultimately, it's a preference; if you're a Gooner, you'll probably enjoy the Eastern devs' approach to character design. Not trying to generalize here as there are plenty of examples from both regions that break this pattern, but whenever I see this sentiment I just think it's so funny.

Unity seems to have come close to the Unreal engine in version 6, but that will never affect my final decision. I know that one day, if my game is successful, I will not be afraid of what I will do with Unreal. There is no guarantee that Unity will not make a decisions like runtime fee again. On the contrary, Unreal's transparent and fair licensing policy has remained the same for years. A developer with 7 years of Unity experience...

[@godsofentropy]

My problem with Unity is that their demos provoke more questions than answers. No finished tech, no finished solutions, no way to make it out of vanilla engine. Just bells and whistles made in the studio custom engine build. With Lumen, Nanite and Megalights, Unreal engine gives us power out of the box. We can literally just create. In Unity - we can only struggle. It's a shame, I would like to see the real competitor to UE5 when it comes to cinematic graphics available for everyone. There is none.

[@brucyyy3]

I think you're looking at it the wrong way. Actual game dev is not having power out of the box , it's having the exact right tools for what you want to achieve , ship a project in time and make money. Nobody really cares about lumen and nanite. There is more money in supermarket meme games than triple a with insane graphics in 2024.

[@brodakarat6340]

unity is more like a package workflow so most the things you want exist but just as seperate packages, either by unity or third party. i understand kinda why they go for this approach, because it makes the base engine build way more light and not dragging along things you dont need just to make the product run slower which i find happens with unreal engine games i play,,, they are so heavy on my pc. unity is more modular and light weight out of the box, just needing a bit more understanding of the existing tool you could get if you want. i did see where you are coming from though, alot of the time i dont know something i need exists until i search for it, initially thinking i have to build it out manually. eg water simulation i didnt know unity had until i found it was in the HDRP.

The only reason people use Unreal Engine is because designers and artists have the perception that everything looks good in unreal. Games in Unreal are more complicated to programm and get very messy because a lot of non coders without that much knowledge get involved into blueprinting. Coding in Unity is way more enjoyable and not such a pain. Unity is just lacking in the layer of artists having any interest in using it since a lot of techincal knowledge was and in some places still is required.

[@K3rhos]

I could not have described the 2 engines better ahah As a non artist but only a programmer I find Unity better than UE, despite the fact I'm originally a C++ dev, so UE would have been a more logic choice for me, I found that UE is using a lot of blueprints, even when you want to deal with pure C++ you still need to "hybrid" a lot of stuff and still use a mix of blueprints and C++ and personally I found that so messy, also UE C++ is completely different from the "vanilla" C++, so different that I was lost with a lot of stuff when I tried UE, when on the other side Unity was pure C# and that's what made me choose Unity, and doesn't have to bother with Blueprints only tutorial like with Unreal Engine ! After all this is all a personal preference, some ppls will prefer UE.

[@bobsteven2363]

Your argument doesn't make any sense. Just because visual scripting exists, doesn't mean the game will magically be harder to program because all departments will magically now be in charge of scripting. If your job is to light up a scene, that is your job, you won't program. Let's not forget, there is an implementation of visual scripting in Unity as well. The only difference in programming should be C# vs C++ which competent game programmers should be able to use both after training. Btw, C++ is exactly what big studios prefer to use. And let's not forget that unreal engine has way more features than unity. Unreal size vs unity size is insane. That can be a huge negative and plus for indie devs. They don't have to do much, but their games can end up super bloated and unoptimized. For big studios, a lot of features is mostly just a plus since anything bad or useless, they can just remove or rebuild.

The reason you see a lot of amazing looking Unreal Engine games is because the developers went out of their way to make it as easy as possible to make games that look good. Crazy high fidelity assets that a normal person would never be able to make on their own free time were made freely available to everyone. Scenes come premade with specific post processing effects to make them look good straight out of the box, lumen and nanite make it so people don't have to worry about baking lights or setting up LOD's, etc. That's one of the problems with Unity, it's a blank canvas, which is useless in the hands of someone who doesn't understand how to paint on it properly (basically most people).

Where's the game dude? It's a movie. If it's not a game then the game was that you made us fool? Come dude. Don't joke.

Unity 6's Den of Wolves looks like a PS4 (non-Pro) compared to the UE5.5 demos, which showed many more types of textures, foliage, and human faces.

A real game will never reach the graphic level of a Tech Demo. Tech demos are made to impress, in a totally controlled environment.

What will you choose: 1. Low FPS on a new engine 2. Old engine, optimized and reliable

Gaming is getting so good!! I love 4k 144hz on a TV it's Awesome 😮😮😮

UE5 is pure cinema at this point. Even though Unity has improved a lot, what you get out of the box is still far and below what UE5 can give you. Because at this point I don't care how many hours or how good you are as a Unity pro, what matters is the final product and how fast and easy you can deliver it. UE5 wins by a landslide in all aspects today. Is Unity a competitor? Yes, a worthy competitor to UE5, I'm afraid not, but it is the most well-known and for many the only one there is.

Imagine a new open world ghost recon in that first setting. Would be insane.
