That was kind of my point actually. Many features that developers get the blame for not "turning on" require a lot of QA passes to make...

Modders have been able to enable Hardware Lumen, so I doubt there's a technical reason preventing its inclusion.

60 FPS presumably means with ray traced reflections + VSM + Nanite. On consoles, Metro Exodus EE has none of these things. (At least, I...

VSM + Software Lumen is already heavy on its own, so it makes sense that console developers are waiting until Hardware Lumen is more...

So far – as far as I am aware – Microsoft have honoured all of their contractual commitments with Xbox. And Phil may be the literal son...

Well, the entire point of that article is that the end result is a symbiosis of the game engine and the team working with it, and you...

Right, if studios lacking technical expertise are more likely to license an engine, and the top AAA developers are likely to build an...

There being a generation of technically troubled UE4 games is a premise, not an argument in itself. We're lacking a "conclusion" and...

there were lots of good UE4 games, and there will be lots of good UE5 games. And what causing perf issues for now is not UE5 in itself...

They measured the performance of the hardware against the code, they have no visibility into any software improvements that could occur...

I guess we're going to keep beating up on all these small indie developers until an AAA studio ships an UE5 title.

I think game dev tends to be very top down, and publishers can make demands. That's not unique to game dev, and I'd never excuse a...

Hardware Lumen doesn't use ray tracing?

UE5 developers can use planar reflections (or SSR) if they want to. They can also get accurate reflections using hardware Lumen with Hit...

I don't think that was in dispute. DegustatoR's claim was that you could achieve the same performance at a similar quality level by...
