Tim Sweeney has worked at Epic Games for quite a while now. Today, he has teased some new details about the new Unreal Engine version that will come to PC. This new release will be as bloated as ever, which is expected since Unreal Engine 5 is a total disaster that barely runs. Unreal Engine 6 plans to be an expansion to the current one, and it seems that most of the features will focus on Fortnite. People genuinely do not care about that, since what matters the most with games is optimization. We at Infinite Start will cover what this could mean for the medium.
Tim Sweeney is teasing and bluffing
Whatever people might say, tourists have opinions that are mostly uninformed. If Unreal Engine 5 is a disaster, similar to Unreal Engine 4, then Unreal Engine 6 will be a catastrophe of bugs. Triple A developers are still deluded that people will buy into the new generation of games. As long as prices keep soaring, people will begin to get priced out of the hobby, nobody will be able to afford it. When you take into account the current standing of gaming, however, one can’t help but not care about the new things.
Many people claims that the medium has died after the release of Elden Ring, since From Software delivered an experience that far transcends everything. After that, a ton of derivative clones have begun popping up, trying to steal the spark of Elden Ring, but they clearly failed. As long as the industry is based on trend chasing, it will never progress, and it will only degrade further.
Nobody cares about graphic realism, people want different styles, but it is clear that they will keep pushing realism to keep the tourist crowd in for some games more. Once the cow is grinded down to dust, then we won’t have games anymore.
