Epic unveils Unreal Engine 6 plans, built‑in generative AI tools revealed

real deal teffi24

all for the CONTENT baby let's go CONTENT

i'm so excited to see how sega optimizes their games by practically tearing the entire unreal engine apart and deleting 90% of it with UE6 like crossworlds did with UE5

Springtick380 (Blue Jays 35-38)14

It's Unreal how much bullshit Epic is cramming into this thing

therealWokeKong12

It’s actually insane how many companies are gonna go under when the AI bubble bursts

Tyler9

UE5 is already a pain in the ass to compile when you do everything right. “Now we’re adding Mario Party dice to the engine that sometimes forgets your connected files exist” is the best way to convince me not to “upgrade”

Flint 🍉5

it used to be called unreal because it was now it's just a misnomer

Tacklelemental4

Yoooooooo Unreal is going into complete dogshit!!!

duamerthrax.bsky.social3

I've already pretty much written off AAA, but if an indie studio chooses UE6 or Unity over Godot, I'll be reconsidering my purchase.

darkmarxsoul.bsky.social3

Will never cease to amaze me how it's well established all of these tools suck absolute fucking ass and every industry ever has clung onto them anyway.

Whatever69🔞2

And dry up lakes even more quickly.

Makes it real easy to never buy a UE6 game. I don't have tondo any research to find out if a studio used a slop generator, now I just know they don't have any artistic decency.

Masastormyponez2

What UE6, they haven't even made UE5 to work on modern computers! 🙄

jellyfish rights194

i'm not reading all that because it's not going to survive the bubble popping

Kirksplosion134

The rollout of even more AI in game development paradoxically means gaming is getting much cheaper for me. Because I'm going to skip out on all this GenAI shitslop.

Reya Artbringer - Graphic Artist 4 Hire115

Godot is free and many newer hit indie titles like Slay the Spire 2 were made in Godot. So if folks are holding back because 'its not as mature as UE', that's clear bullshit and skill issue.

Harry75

I’m so ready to just play less and less games in the future honestly. The industry is literally in self destruction mode and if you needed any more proof that video games are not seen as an art form, even from within the belly itself, this is it right here. At least there’s been pushback within film

stealthnachos61

before, i skipped ue5 games because they usually looked bad. now i can skip anything that says it’s made with ue6 without even looking at it. thanks tim!

Sam Garden50

I don’t understand the end game here for developers. If in ten years the technology develops to where small indie groups can generate the same AAA slop as your studios, then what do we need your studios for? It’s a race to the bottom.

Joshua Carpenter32

What happened with 5, lmao Seems like not many games made with that.

Slurms MacKenzie31

Sounds fucking dog shit, gang

Lasthazzerd27

Unreal and Unity have been such valuable marketing for Godot

Nena26

"We vibe coded the entire thing"

Gwen C. Katz25

Finally, a game engine that automatically generates its own fan backlash

Peter G20

I would say Unreal had a good run, but it's been pretty shit ever since UE4.

Kaons19

It's comical how awful Unreal 5 already is and they said "you haven't seen anything yet"

wascallywes.bsky.social18

Makes it easy to just never play anything made on unreal engine 6.

Andrew Betson18

further sloppification AND making their dogshit scripting lang the standard for game code??? oh my fucking god lmfao

tso18

Oh god theyre still trying to make nfts function

Matcha (He/Him) ☭🇵🇸16

i imagine UE5 will have a LONG shelf life in the near future

WhimsicalSquirrel16

Well that's good, because the central problem with Unreal 5 was that it wasn't dogshit enough.

Solid ⚡16

"Yes gamers, with these advancements, the games will be even less optimized! The game mechanics, art, story, and music will all be even easier to slopify! The bugs will be so bad that they put launch era Cyberpunk 2077 to shame! Please give us $80."

VileEvilLevi14

lol, hopefully this marks the end of unreal engine and more in-house solutions. But I doubt it because we live in a stupid society run by talentless hacks where creativity and artistry is looked down upon.

fennecsdev13

I dislike the word "content" but that is the perfect word to use for the slop that AI makes. Its not "art" but "content"

austinbroth.bsky.social12

Actively rooting for your failure Epic Games!!!

Greg11

AI Disclosure: Unreal Engine 6

Winty 🐺☕️11

So, you can code your game with slop, generate poor assets, generate hollow music, generate heartless dialogue and writing and then with the "power" of dlss5 you can - just to keep it interesting - slather your instagram AI filter slop on top of your AI asset slop too? AI needs to fuck off forever.

Andrew L10

Seems like a lot of words to say "We're going to sell you less, for more, so that we can fire more people."

roboclint9

Capcom could probably make a lot of money licensing out the RE engine.

Professor Xtra8

Ok this was not difficult to predict

JMTHEFOX8

What a great advertisement for Godot Game Engine

Geert Broekmann8

They spent like half an hour explaining to the crowd why it was a good thing that you can ask a chat bot to fully and irreparably change everything in your scene without rhyme or reason.

Adil8

I'm not paying for their Chat-GPT Tokens, generated slop has no value no matter how much they try and rent seek value out of it.

🌸Yazoo 🔞 🌸8

I feel like im going insane. Does anyone actually want this? Or is it just the rich few who dont want to have to actually pay an artist for creating something for them?

Lizardguy | check pinned post8

They could've made Unreal 5 good instead, but they chose this.

Leah (“Lee”)7

Wow, it’s unreal that Unreal would go in this direction… oh wait I’m sick and tired of this AI slopfest, pop the fucking bubble already

Rummy7

"LLMs" "Generative AI Models" "Claude" "Codex" "Content" I'm tired boss....

DEIty7

Tim Sweeney just hates humanity that much.

neon jennifer6

Time for more open source engines, this one is done

Matthew6

They don't even calling it games anymore, it's fucking content to them

Rai Spellfang6

Oh boy. Just when we were thinking UE5 is completely dogshit, they come out with "no, no, we can make a new one that's worse!"

Your Pal CJ6

from the UE subreddit, i thought this comment captured the vibe well. UE6 seems less like a game engine and more like a slop renderer.

S.H. Slime6

Unreal and Epic are garbage tier companies

MikeYokite @ Art Fight 20266

Unreal 5 came out 4 years ago btw 💀

DarkwingSchmuck5

Current gen systems can't even handle UE5, but I guess we gotta fast track to all that AI bullshit.

Melon5

Good to know. Anything made in UE6 can be avoided.

OJMachine5

so now all games made with ue6 are on my ban list by default? cool.

Goddess Lilith Scarlet4

Excited to see other engines used or made

JoshTheGY4

genuine question, what's the likely hood of them back porting this AI stuff to Unreal 5 and 4? I feel there's been no reason to move on from Unreal 4 and this just kinda cements it more honestly

yando, хто продало/а світ4

Godot looking more and more like the only way to go for my own projects

Octavious Night4

GET THIS AI SLOP AWAY FROM ME

Whirlboom944

A reminder that Sakurai along with Bandai made their own in house game engine not just for Kirby Air Riders but also so they can use same engine on future titles. With Capcom already done the same with RE engine, maybe we will see more big game studios do the same while indies use Godot or Unity.

All Cattes Are Best Cattes3

I see me not buying games made in their dogshit pigfucking subhuman slopmachine

This Friggin Guy3

theyve heard our feedback about Unreal Engine Slop and decided to go all in

GatoKai🎲🎮3

Ah yes vibe coded non functioning games will surely will bring profit right? Gods who wrote this PR drivel? AI too maybe?

Lamaty'i's Specialest Clove🏳️‍⚧️3

Well, we've reached the point where I'm just done with new video games if this takes off, I guess. At least my backlog is big enough to last the rest of my life as it is.

Sir_Nicolas3

not to mention theyre putting rocket league into ue6, brother i dont want to alarm you but this will be the biggest downfall of my fav game and i HATE IT!!!! its never been so over...

gensou ichida3

they delisted unreal tournament from every storefront for this

McSpain2

It's easy to never start a UE6 based game. Even more easy because no body is able to afford a new gaming pc or console. 🤷🏻

Reig2

What fascinates me is that they are *still* pushing the Metaverse concept. That's what they mean when they talk about assets and code working across games; Rebranded Metaverse talking points.

MxMapachi 🇲🇽 Gaming Backlog Raccoon2

This is where patient gamers and backlog gamers pull ahead. We got more games than remaining lifespan and none of this unoptimized slop to deal with. 💙

FUPA Troopa2

I notice they're using the Resident Evil 6 color scheme. I just think that's an interesting coincidence given the usage of the plagiarism machine

Mhaan2

This is hype marketing for Anthropic's IPO. Also this is a PROJECT, not a product. Solid chance it doesn't survive until its slated, late 2027 release, if any of the hype bubble rumbles.

Dekap Coyote2

Into the incinerator with it.

big_throwaway (仮)2

I wonder what the last new game I'll buy will be

nine2

Cool, so avoid any game that uses dogshit unreal engine. Noted 🙂‍↕️

Quinini 🏆👻2

How about: Fuck no, instead? How about Fuck you, how about that?

HPAlpha2

tim sweeney fall off your horse

ElectroYoshi2

...Do I dare ask for context?

Samuel The Nerd Fox 🦊5

Epic Games is wasting money on implementing AI into their game engine and it is going to be a dumpster fire! 🔥 Good thing Nintendo had a backup plan, human creators! :)

Jojo Tully2

The current video game development landscape has been amazing for my wallet.

❤️🫀 momo (heartily good bad) 🫀❤️3

so definitely not linux friendly since fortnite doesnt run on linux

James | CWS 🇨🇦3

Linux + Godot (or bevy in my case) + blender/aseprite for gamedev is 🧑‍🍳💋 No evil corporations necessary; cross compiling is easy from Linux to other OS'es or architectures. Except when it comes to consoles, that is a challenge I haven't solved yet
