This seems like a bad comparison. Game Engine technology is much more complex than a combustion engine, combustion vehicles are fairly straight forward in how they work. A single person could learn how a combustion engine vehicle works, learn how to take it apart and put it back together within 6 months or so. Meanwhile with something like Unreal Engine, there is over 2 million lines of code in the engine's code base. So very likely it would take someone with 8-10 years experience to even be able to begin to approach these engine level issues.
How many iterations of Unreal Engine does it take before it stops being garbage? Why does it seem to get worse each time? The whole point and big bragging point of the latest iteration, was that it was solving the problems with it's predecessors inability to handle open worlds. Remember the brag videos explaining this? Yet the opposite is true. You've also grossy over-simplified the engine. You might be able to put one together, but you wouldn't have the first clue how to build the components, with the latest materials for high temperatures and all the electronics and sensors. You can build the CPU's? If you break it down, they are produced by hundreds of people.
@@GolfWhisky Yes but you don’t need to manufacture the components yourself or the CPUs in order to understand how the combustion engine works or how to solve its issues. As long as you understand how everything works (which shouldn’t be too hard to accomplish with 1-2 years of studying), issues like “starting on a cold morning” or something similar shouldn’t take years to figure out a solution for. Plus you don’t need to know how to engineer a completely new vehicle to fix issues with an existing one. Meanwhile game engine technology is highly complex, and to even solve these game engine level issues (not build the game engine yourself, just solve engine issues) you’d need a minimum of bachelors in computer science with at least another 3-5 years on the job experience as an engine programmer. Even with that experience it may take such people multiple years to solve such issues given the complexity of modern game engine technology. Plus game engine technology is constantly evolving so they also need to be constantly developing multiple areas of the engine itself. You’ve over simplified it by trying to compare it to fixing basic functions of a combustion engine.
Nanite, lumen, RT, TAA, all those features will make your gaming experience really really bad. low fps, stutters everywhere. They will have to rely on agressive upscaling and frame gen to make it worse. The only positive note is the game will be beautiful and will run at a cinematic 24fps.
@@cube2fox Thats only true compared to TAA. Any other solution will be better than literally the worst one. Thats one of the reasons why dlss can look better than native. Not because it actually improves anything just because TAA sucks. TSR at 100% render resolution will look better than TAA just because TAA is really bad.
It would be a stutter struggle on PC, like always. Only consoles seems to run Unreal engine without shader compilation or traversal stutters, but with kinda low performance.
traversal stutter and shader compilation hitches have little to do with the engine, and more to do with bad game developer choices in their async loading, and not pre caching their shaders. If you notice experienced UE5 devs don't have those issues in their games
@@jcdentonunatco "Traversal stutter" actually comes from the fact that UE5's Game Thread is largely single threaded. Async loading etc doesn't really help it a whole lot. Shader Compilation stutter is largely a solved problem these days, but the so called traversal stutter; unless you have a team of Engineers to go in and modify the game core (So basically any indie or smaller team doesn't really), you are just fucked.
If CDPR wanted to avoid launch issues because of Cyberpunk, picking Unreal Engine is the worst choice. A dense open world Ue5 game with their usual cutting edge visuals? This is going to be a nightmare for console and midrange PC’s alike. Consoles can barely run linear less visually demanding Ue5 titles above 720p internal. I am curious about the rumor that they were mulling over a PC release first with console later. Given the dev timeline they are going to be right where they were last time with Witcher 4 releasing at the tail end of old gen and the start of a new gen. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a PS6/next XBox only title with no cross gen support.
Despite using only UE5.1, Stalker 2 runs quite decently on console when using the 30 FPS mode. I guess Witcher 4 will be primarily a 30 FPS game too. Just like Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 on PS4 / Xbox One.
Red Engine is amazing, they (CDPR) got burnt by it because talent left and they tried to brute force the engine into a FPS shooter which was never meant to. To imagine the only "shooting" mechanic in Witcher 3 was the crossbows and how terrible they were and try to make that engine into a FPS shooter bogles the mint. Their bailout option is UE because they think 1year long contract devs will do the same miracles, old talent did to make this company relevant. CDPR managers are a joke.
Witcher 4 is probably coming in like 2027 to 2029. I don't think the PS5/Series X is going to have to run it, at least not as the flagship platform. It'll probably end up like how Cyberpunk did with the PS4 and XB1 (hopefully without the disaster at launch).

It's not a massacre, more like half the sheep have followed the leader to slaughter. The lack of AA games has made it most noticeable, because those used to have their own engine or licensed one and forked it into their own, but now development has so much financial risk they can't afford to update their 20 year old engines, only AAA can do that. There are still plenty of proprietary engines around, but from the list below off the top of my head, all of them are established big names or weathered the death of AA to become big names. There's still Valve's Source engine with other devs like Respawn making their engine from it, id Software still has the id Tech engine (and Arkane uses a heavily rewritten version for their Void engine, and the Infinity Ward CoD engine was based on it), Bethesda has the Creation engine, Ubisoft has the Anvil and Snowdrop engines, EA Dice and other studios will still use the Frostbite engine (someone said Bioware would be dropping it?), the Metro games use their own 4A engine, Larian has their own Divinity engine Crytek is still using their own CryEngine, this is getting long...CoD has their own engine, Final Fantasy has their own engine, Guerilla Games has their own engine and Kojima Productions uses it, Star Wars The Old Republic has their own engine, Rockstar has their own engine, Paradox has their own engine.
Man... It really is a shame, the whole Red Engine source code leak. That engine was better. Unreal Engine 5 is the most overhyped hunk of junk in the galaxy.
@@jcdentonunatco Well, if that's true? Then I guess that's down to bad marketing, on Epic's behalf. They should have chosen more reputable game devs. Perhaps Gears of Wars 6, or Unreal 3 or something. Immortals did not impress me at all. Gears of War 5 looked better. Cyberpunk looks far better. Best looking game in the past 3 years I'd say is hands down Forbidden West and it doesn't even use RT and has insanely detailed clouds that you can actually go into and the detail of the surface from that far up is breathtaking. I'm sure someone's uploaded some Burning Shores flying footage on a 4080/ 4090.
You just need to look at the state of UE games now and how slow they adopt new version so they will probably start production on 5.5 and launch with that. That includes all the issues which Epic has not solved which is basically all of them. Would love to hear Alex talk about Threatinteractive because they have been exposing and discussing the issues Unreal has in a very honest and frank way which nobody else does. Theres always an amount on leniency toward this engine and Epic
People gotta stop hating on UE5. I think the issue with UE5 is that it opens up creatives to push the limits and let the engine try to dynamically handle LODs. Where UE4 would smack your hand and force you to optimize your assets before doing a full build. We should stop bitching and realize it has it's limits as well. I'm frankly amazed we are at real time rendering of global illumination and path tracing for assets with million + triangles. And we have to listen to gamers whining that their early access games stutter. Wow. Grow up and start making your own engine if you don't like the tools off the shelf.
Ue5 sucks... One of the most inefficient engines ever. So many devs have proprietary engines that are more efficient and end up looking better... Shame they are dropping them for ue5.
Proprietery engines are hard to maintain logistically. CDPR left Red engine because some of original programmers switched carreers. They literally did not have enough people to maintain the engine, document it and teach new employees. Also job market in game industry is really bleak.
Idk, there's potential for this to go well, due to CDPR having some of the premier talent in the industry as far as graphics programmers go. The downside is the level of effort we've seen from CDPR on stuff like TW3's DX11->DX12 wrapper with bolted on RT being extremely low effort and by Microsoft's own admission, not intended for production of any kind....yet they put it into production. If they leverage their considerable talent bank to streamline their work, I think there won't be any issues. If they just take the prebaked binaries and let their artists generate content with similar technical oversight to other UE5 projects, it's going to be a huge unoptimized turd.
Stop spreading missinformation about DX11->12 Wrapper. Game doesn't use it for actual rendering lots of games including Witcher 3 use it for some 2D elements, and it' also used by overlays, but 3d rendering doesn't happen with this wrapper. You can't implement modern DX12 features by using this wrapper it's featureset is very limited. But it doesn't change, that DX12 version is a mess.
More TAA blur, Unreal Engine 5 is going to be the death of clear gaming and optimization We're all going to need a $5000 graphics card for all these upcoming games, Unreal doesn't care about optimization
I don't know why people expect CDPR to fix UE5. UE5 has issues, but 90% of the times it's still the devs fault for the stuttering. Even if Witcher 4 doesn't have stutters, it doesn't mean they've "fixed" the engine. You think that if some of the best game engine developers can't fix the issue, CDPR will be the ones to?
no there wont be. 1) because experienced devs know how to properly handle async loading in unreal and 2) they have modified the engine to suit their specific needs.
There probably will be. But, who gives a shit? I thought that most gamers didn't care about visuals. If stuttering bothers you, then turn down some settings or play older games that don't use UE5. It's not that hard, people.
Code masters ego engine , unity engine , cdpr red engine , decima engine, rockstar advanced game engine, frostbite engine , snowdrop engine , fox engine are all better than unreal engine when it comes to performance. I now wait 4 years to play UE titles on hardware 2 times more powerful than recommended system requirements to just make the experience tolerable. Still the hitching isn't going away.
decima is probably the best suited that they could manage to get, rockstar would never let them use RAGE, my biggest concern is the talent left CDPR and it is not filled with idiots who can only use UE
@@3rdHalf1 that's why nobody knows how to fix its issues. If they made the engine they would know its limitations and how to fix em. Or get around those limitations. Now it's about making content and get it released.
@@lawnmanGman Unfortunately that's exactly why they moved to UE - because most "devs" nowadays only know how to use blueprints in UE 🙂15-20 years ago every game dev learned C++ and made in-house game engine just for fun. Now they are happy if they learn UE... Who will make game engines in the future? 🙂
Whatever LOD technology From software has in their engine is better than the whole UE5's nanite, most models in Elden Ring don't even use a LOD and I don't know how they get away with it
Yes there will be stutter, you cd project red can make good games, but all of their games, even in their own engines have performance issues, so to think they will be the ones to fix stutter on unreal is nuts.
Why devs are not making 2 separate engine running simultaneously during gaming. I mean the main engine for running the game itself and the second one is for compiling shaders in the background. The second engine should run continuously, compiling shaders from the start to the last so there will be no cold shaders anymore when we run some parts of the game for the 1st time.
Many games do, but it isn’t a perfect fix. It doesn’t stop all stuttering because games don’t know what shaders will be needed until they actually need them, and it slows performance because you’re dedicating resources just to shader compilation
Man i swear people just read the headlines and dont do research or just fucking parrot what other RUclipsrs have already said and cant think for themselves. UE5 is a tool. It's whatever the developers make of it. CDPR wont be using vanilla UE5, they will be using a heavily customised version of UE5 to suit their needs.
Depends. That’s like 4 years from now. You would hope unreal and devs get better with it by then. Like unreal 4 with how it was at the beginning compared to now. I do think the red engine was giving them even more issues though
Unreal 5 is the most over rated engine. Games dont look that much better, incredibly costing and stuttery. Absolute joke of a engine. Consoles cant handle it, basically its for top end pc.
i hate ue5 so much, i hate how poorly optimized it is and absolutely can't stand how it gives every game that generic, samey, sterile and pseudorealistic look. so many great engines are getting abandoned for this trash, it's sad!
Most inside cdred devs no longer working for that company and cdred don't have people who know their own old very good engine. They choose shity UE5 for new devs, that only know that engine. Shitty engineUE5 plus Woke = shit game but I have hope that I don't have right and we will see after first reviews.
The thing that concerns me the most is that Epic dictates what kind of dialogue is allowed on games published in UE5. Anything even slightly politically incorrect is frowned upon. That's not a good situation for a writing team, especially when working on a mature series like The Witcher.
Some People dont know how to spend their money, then lie to themselves to justify it so they dont go cry in a corner, but, then they go cry in a corner and blame (insert corporation here) for their inferiority complex. Also, their brains stopped maturing beyond the age of 12.
Running a 6800 XT + 7800X3D combo, no overclocking. Every. Single. UE5 game is stutterfest. Terrible engine or lazy developers? Can’t tell as there are no titles that match DX11/12 much less the god tier Vulkan API.

Best looking game in the past 3 years I'd say is hands down Forbidden West and it doesn't even use RT and has insanely detailed clouds that you can actually go into and the detail of the surface from that far up is breathtaking. I'm sure someone's uploaded some Burning Shores flying footage on a 4080/ 4090.
@@kessilrun6754RED engine is one of the reasons why cyberpunk launched in the state it did.
Decima wouldve been a better engine. UE is no longer an engine for video games, its kinda intended for cinematics/CGI now.
You just need to look at the state of UE games now and how slow they adopt new version so they will probably start production on 5.5 and launch with that. That includes all the issues which Epic has not solved which is basically all of them. Would love to hear Alex talk about Threatinteractive because they have been exposing and discussing the issues Unreal has in a very honest and frank way which nobody else does. Theres always an amount on leniency toward this engine and Epic
Unreal 5 is a Cancer on gaming currently. Look at Stalker 2 performance.
and did that stop people from enjoying the game?
@thegreatimu uhm yeah a lot of people? When a 4090 has to run at 1080p to hit 60fps, that dampens the experience. Why defend poor optimization? lol.
Stalker is an ukrainian piece of shit made in some hole. What were you expecting?
God Im sooo thristy for a new Witcher game. I just can't wait ;_;
CD Projekt downgrading from their own masterpiece engine to UE is the biggest joke of the decade. Truly pathetic.
masterpiece? is that what people think when cyberpunk launched?
@@thegreatimu yes absolutely, played it on launch like you should be on a 3090 with ray tracing and it was an absolute blast.
@@thegreatimu nobody care about ps4 and xbox one version.
Actually there is even bigger joke. It is called simonrockstream.
@@maximefraisier1010if you think the pc version was devoid of issues at launch you didn’t play it.
People gotta stop hating on UE5. I think the issue with UE5 is that it opens up creatives to push the limits and let the engine try to dynamically handle LODs. Where UE4 would smack your hand and force you to optimize your assets before doing a full build. We should stop bitching and realize it has it's limits as well. I'm frankly amazed we are at real time rendering of global illumination and path tracing for assets with million + triangles. And we have to listen to gamers whining that their early access games stutter. Wow. Grow up and start making your own engine if you don't like the tools off the shelf.
I'm so done with any game that uses UE5. Denuvo for that matter. Guess AAA stuff is out for the permanent future.
Denuvo might be a bitch, but it's not the performance boogeyman some people say it is.
single ccd 12 core Zen 6 X3D will probably need for Stutter free experience ;)
Playable on consoles at 1080P/60FPS on PS8 Pro.
. . . but wait, then there is PSSR.
60fps, nope more like 30fps
Ue5 sucks... One of the most inefficient engines ever. So many devs have proprietary engines that are more efficient and end up looking better... Shame they are dropping them for ue5.
Yeah… sadly.
Proprietery engines are hard to maintain logistically. CDPR left Red engine because some of original programmers switched carreers. They literally did not have enough people to maintain the engine, document it and teach new employees.
Also job market in game industry is really bleak.
Defeat from the jaws of victory, all in the vain effort to "make line go up" and cut costs. Investors hate having all those talented mouths to feed.
It’s hard to be a game company and a tech company at the same time, that’s why a lot of companies ditch their in house engines for UE
I rather play games that look worse and run well tbh. Graphics are overrated anyways.
YES!
SURE!
IT WILL!
OF COURSE !
Sttuter Engine FTW !
More people have to work on these games and there's not enough time for them to learn unique engines. So Unreal comes in being easier to use.
Idk, there's potential for this to go well, due to CDPR having some of the premier talent in the industry as far as graphics programmers go. The downside is the level of effort we've seen from CDPR on stuff like TW3's DX11->DX12 wrapper with bolted on RT being extremely low effort and by Microsoft's own admission, not intended for production of any kind....yet they put it into production. If they leverage their considerable talent bank to streamline their work, I think there won't be any issues. If they just take the prebaked binaries and let their artists generate content with similar technical oversight to other UE5 projects, it's going to be a huge unoptimized turd.
Stop spreading missinformation about DX11->12 Wrapper. Game doesn't use it for actual rendering lots of games including Witcher 3 use it for some 2D elements, and it' also used by overlays, but 3d rendering doesn't happen with this wrapper. You can't implement modern DX12 features by using this wrapper it's featureset is very limited.
But it doesn't change, that DX12 version is a mess.
More TAA blur, Unreal Engine 5 is going to be the death of clear gaming and optimization
We're all going to need a $5000 graphics card for all these upcoming games, Unreal doesn't care about optimization
UE5 is a horrible game engine. It has features that publishers can force on studios to do work much faster, which leads to horrendous performance.
they will optimize the engine appropriately w/the partnership with Epic. together they will make UE5 better for the World 🌎
I don't know why people expect CDPR to fix UE5. UE5 has issues, but 90% of the times it's still the devs fault for the stuttering. Even if Witcher 4 doesn't have stutters, it doesn't mean they've "fixed" the engine. You think that if some of the best game engine developers can't fix the issue, CDPR will be the ones to?
no there wont be. 1) because experienced devs know how to properly handle async loading in unreal
and 2) they have modified the engine to suit their specific needs.
You have too much trust in the CDPR devs lol
@@jakedizzle and you have too much blind faith that you dont want to acknowledge the ue5 games that run well
Because Cyberpunk had a really good launch lol
Stutter engine 5 of course will stutter and look worse than ue4
Stutter engine 5 is ruining gaming
like silent hill 2?
@@thegreatimu yes, that game was full of stutter on a high end rig
there will be a crap ton of seemingly pointless pop in. unreal just doesn't hold up vs quality custom engines
Maybe ps6 will be able to run this game well. We can hope. Or a good pc.
Yes, UE5 is a downgrade on the last gen.
really? silent hill 2 taught you that?
There probably will be. But, who gives a shit? I thought that most gamers didn't care about visuals. If stuttering bothers you, then turn down some settings or play older games that don't use UE5. It's not that hard, people.
Code masters ego engine , unity engine , cdpr red engine , decima engine, rockstar advanced game engine, frostbite engine , snowdrop engine , fox engine are all better than unreal engine when it comes to performance. I now wait 4 years to play UE titles on hardware 2 times more powerful than recommended system requirements to just make the experience tolerable. Still the hitching isn't going away.
decima is probably the best suited that they could manage to get, rockstar would never let them use RAGE, my biggest concern is the talent left CDPR and it is not filled with idiots who can only use UE
The problem with proprietary engines is that they are not taught in schools, unlike Unity and Unreal. 🤷🏿♀️
@@3rdHalf1 that's why nobody knows how to fix its issues. If they made the engine they would know its limitations and how to fix em. Or get around those limitations. Now it's about making content and get it released.
@@lawnmanGman Unfortunately that's exactly why they moved to UE - because most "devs" nowadays only know how to use blueprints in UE 🙂15-20 years ago every game dev learned C++ and made in-house game engine just for fun. Now they are happy if they learn UE... Who will make game engines in the future? 🙂
Whatever LOD technology From software has in their engine is better than the whole UE5's nanite, most models in Elden Ring don't even use a LOD and I don't know how they get away with it
Yes there will be stutter, you cd project red can make good games, but all of their games, even in their own engines have performance issues, so to think they will be the ones to fix stutter on unreal is nuts.
Cyberpunk didn’t have many stutter issues
@zachb1706 the game had tons of issues on general, i wouldnt consider cd project red technical wizards
By the time this game comes out, we'll be discussing about the 6090 and UE5 will have been figured out. CD projekt Red doesn't joke around.
😂😂😂😂😂 cope
Do you not remember how Cyberpunk 2077 launched?!
@@jakedizzle and do you not remember how nvdia upgraded their sht so cyberpunk can run better?
@ on PC it was fine
Why devs are not making 2 separate engine running simultaneously during gaming. I mean the main engine for running the game itself and the second one is for compiling shaders in the background. The second engine should run continuously, compiling shaders from the start to the last so there will be no cold shaders anymore when we run some parts of the game for the 1st time.
Many games do, but it isn’t a perfect fix. It doesn’t stop all stuttering because games don’t know what shaders will be needed until they actually need them, and it slows performance because you’re dedicating resources just to shader compilation
Forced TAA/DLSS engine.... Yayyy.. another title with forced blur filters 😂
At this point i will avoid all ue5 games .
nah it will suck on pc, best played on the ps6 i would assume!
Man i swear people just read the headlines and dont do research or just fucking parrot what other RUclipsrs have already said and cant think for themselves.
UE5 is a tool. It's whatever the developers make of it. CDPR wont be using vanilla UE5, they will be using a heavily customised version of UE5 to suit their needs.
If you use UE5 like Epic recommends, your game is going to be a stutter mess and performance is going to suck. Every time.
huge Witcher fan here, but I won't be touching it as it has UE
absolutely disgusting engine and company(EG) in so many ways
Depends. That’s like 4 years from now. You would hope unreal and devs get better with it by then. Like unreal 4 with how it was at the beginning compared to now. I do think the red engine was giving them even more issues though
it will be fine 2 years after release once it’s been patched up and fixed
Yes.
We are ruined again, UE5 is a curse for video gaming.
Unreal 5 is the most over rated engine.
Games dont look that much better, incredibly costing and stuttery.
Absolute joke of a engine. Consoles cant handle it, basically its for top end pc.
*YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES*
That's an easy question to answer. Yes.
Stutter on pc yeah not ps5 pro 😂
i hate ue5 so much, i hate how poorly optimized it is and absolutely can't stand how it gives every game that generic, samey, sterile and pseudorealistic look.
so many great engines are getting abandoned for this trash, it's sad!

Yep, there definitely will be.

Not on your PC, poor kiddo. Ask your mammy to buy you a better GPU.
more than #StutterStruggle, will be #WokeStruggle
Most inside cdred devs no longer working for that company and cdred don't have people who know their own old very good engine. They choose shity UE5 for new devs, that only know that engine. Shitty engineUE5 plus Woke = shit game but I have hope that I don't have right and we will see after first reviews.
