Epic Games just dropped unreal 5 during the state of unreal livestream.

Stream isn't done

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

Watching the stream right now; very interested to download and try this. Been meaning to get back into 3D modeling and already have Blender installed, but UE5 looking too good to pass up.

i want to as well but i wonder if there is a good beginner course for this on udemy or sth like this

 

[kingfey]

I wish I can get full game of matrix.

[Kilau]

Fuck. I’m still just halfway through Unreal Engine 3, haven’t even bought 4 yet been waiting on a sale.

There should be some decent resources for learning on Youtube, and I know Blender in particular has quite a few as well as a full Wiki tutorial for learning how to use the program.

I'm personally mainly interested in UE5 for level creation, character modeling, animation rigging and scripting. Would rather use another program for audio since I'm way more used to its interface for that. Hope the scripting features are pretty strong and easy enough to use for people with beginner-level coding experience.

I've been wanting to try unreal engine for a while, mess around with it a bit and learning some things, mainly to try to create some environments.
I wonder if a GTX 1080 would be enough, is unreal engine 5 by default more demanding than 4 or does it just depends on what you do with it?

It is; their website lists GTX 1080 as a minimum recommended for non-RT work. Basically anything that is DX11 or DX12-compatible.

For Lumen though they recommend a minimum RTX-2000 series or RX-6000 series card. Everything else just seems like you'd need the latest graphics drivers installed.

Here's their website for requirements.

 

[Stuart360]

I assume there are also asset stores for UE5 too?.
Give it a couple of weeks and Steam will be flooded by asset flips lol.

Here is UE5 Matrix demo running on a 3090.



@6:45 mark
Drops below 20fps at times on Epic settings.

 

[FearlessBelgian]

Cool but will have to be patient to see Unreal Engine 5 games... 3-4 years?

 

[Pedro Motta]

Great guys, now you can download it, try to make a game with it, AND STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT DEVS BEING LAZY.

I'm guessing the resolution is way higher than PS5 and that PS5 is far less demanding settings ontop of the fact that it's not running the editor.

 

[SSfox]

Ok.

I meant to try working and doing my own scenes on it, not to run their most demanding tech demo yet I figured this demo wouldn't run on my gpu because of the lighting alone.

AAA studios have had early access to it’s evolving state since late 2020. We’ll probably see the first to launch UE5 games at this E3 or Summer Games Fest and release in late 2023. I’d guess Final Fantasy VII Remake Part II.

 

[anothertech]

Isn't it free? Until you see something worth a dam anyways? lol

 

[DarkestHour]

I thought it's been out as they were touting how Fortnite now runs on UE5.

 

[staticshock]

I packaged the demo and might upload it to Google Drive for anyone who wants to run the game version without having to run the resource heavy editor.
Might upload a video of how it runs on my 3070 with SATA SSD without directstorage or rtxio.

 

[Mozzarella]

Can someone explain something?
If a dev wants to make their new game on this engine, do they pay for it? or they can use it freely?

Think it was free until you made your first 100k or 1mill? I dont remember, but after that you start paying a fee. Ballpark something like that with the previous unreal's.

 

[Craig of War]

With how many big studios like CDPR & many others switching to use UE5 instead of their own in house game engine
Epic are gone to make so much money from this
it gone to feel like Epic will have a monopoly on game engine soon more so then they alredy do now

Doing a graphics demonstration video in 2022 at 1080p. Is there no justice in this world?

Downloading and using the software itself is free.
Epic charges a 5% Royalty fee on all sales of games made with unreal. I think the 5% also only starts to apply once your product has surpassed $1 million in revenue.

Wonder if this engine is going to be an optimisation headache without fixed targets.

They have tiers. indies dont have to pay a cut until they make $1 million. Then its 5% of all revenue. Big publishers might have different deals because 5% for games that make $500 million to $1 billion is insane.

 

[Shmunter]

Enjoyed this googling, ps5 footage for now tho….

 

[AlteredForms]

I always felt this released long ago , or was that Unreal Engine 4.0?

 

[staticshock]

Packaged it and ran it on my 3070, Samsung Evo Sata SSD without directstorage and it only uses 4G RAM

 

[vpance]

Nice. Is there any way to set the target res of the compiled version? I guess it runs at native display by default?

You know Alex will pull out his 2060 Super for this comparison lol

It will be fascinating to see if the RTX cores perform better when using hardware accelerated lumens. The RTX 2060 Super is roughly on par with the PS5 and XSX in most RT games, but do we know if that translates to the way Lumens is handled by UE5?

Also, it will be interesting if he can get confirmation on whether or not the consoles are using medium, high or Epic settings. If the 3090 is sturggling at Epic settings then the PS5 was likely using medium settings. What resolution is this guy running the game at?

What FPS are you getting with TSR on at 1080p? The 3070 is way more powerful than the PS5 and XSX especially when it comes to RT. Would be interesting to get a comparison.

Do we know what resolution he's using? It runs very poorly even on a beast like an RTX 3090. Even turning the camera while walking along the street makes the demo stutter like crazy, way worse that what we've seen on consoles. Maybe it's running in 4K, I can see no other explanation.

In the project's config there's this

; Max the rendering resolution to the average dynamic resolution on consoles targeted.
r.ScreenPercentage.MaxResolution=1440

So 1440p I guess?

 

[SlimySnake]

That would explain the framerate issues. 75% more pixels plus whatever the extra cost for epic settings.

The 3090 should offer 100% more performance than the ps5 and xsx in standard rasterization.

 

[vpance]

In one of the vids today they showed a neat way of how they rendered interiors of buildings using parallax techniques for 2D images, which looked almost indistinguishable from the real 3D version.

Trouble is, in game it looks like absolute trash for whatever reason.

 

[staticshock]

I believe 1440p. I'm getting 30+ when walking and ~25 fps when driving with dips in the 20s.
Its definitely not optimized for the PC and in Epic unreal engine fashion. The chaos physics is completely broken in this build with the latest version of UE5 and chaos compared to the old console build

Have no idea, we'll have to wait on someone to do some comparisons.

Performance is still very poor though.

Don't know if Epic settings is still 4k.
