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

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)12

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

therealWokeKong9

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

Tyler5

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 🍉4

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

Tacklelemental3

Yoooooooo Unreal is going into complete dogshit!!!

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.

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.

Masastormyponez2

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

jellyfish rights147

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

Kirksplosion93

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 Hire86

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.

Harry54

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

stealthnachos42

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 Garden39

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 Carpenter31

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

Slurms MacKenzie26

Sounds fucking dog shit, gang

Nena23

"We vibe coded the entire thing"

Lasthazzerd22

Unreal and Unity have been such valuable marketing for Godot

Peter G19

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

WhimsicalSquirrel16

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

Matcha (He/Him) ☭🇵🇸15

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

Andrew Betson15

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

Kaons14

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

wascallywes.bsky.social12

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

VileEvilLevi12

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.

fennecsdev11

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

Solid ⚡11

"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."

austinbroth.bsky.social10

Actively rooting for your failure Epic Games!!!

tso10

Oh god theyre still trying to make nfts function

Andrew L9

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

Gwen C. Katz7

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

Greg7

AI Disclosure: Unreal Engine 6

Winty 🐺☕️7

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.

roboclint7

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

DEIty7

Tim Sweeney just hates humanity that much.

Lizardguy | check pinned post7

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

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!"

JMTHEFOX5

What a great advertisement for Godot Game Engine

Geert Broekmann5

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.

Adil5

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.

MikeYokite @ Art Fight 20265

Unreal 5 came out 4 years ago btw 💀

DarkwingSchmuck4

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

Goddess Lilith Scarlet4

Excited to see other engines used or made

neon jennifer4

Time for more open source engines, this one is done

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

Leah (“Lee”)4

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

S.H. Slime4

Unreal and Epic are garbage tier companies

Octavious Night4

GET THIS AI SLOP AWAY FROM ME

Matthew3

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

yando, хто продало/а світ3

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

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...

Whirlboom943

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.

gensou ichida3

they delisted unreal tournament from every storefront for this

🌸Yazoo 🔞 🌸3

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?

This Friggin Guy2

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

OJMachine2

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

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 🙂‍↕️

HPAlpha2

tim sweeney fall off your horse

ElectroYoshi2

...Do I dare ask for context?

❤️🫀 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
