Consoomers will keep buying UE5 games anyways.

I would think people are more bothered by the poor lipsync than some less than stellar shadows here and there

>my turn-based rpg isn't perfectly optimized
That's it, I'm killing myself.

>>717564754
this is correct
UE5's flaws are fine when playing turn based parry slop. I loved E33.

>>717564768
I don't get it

>>717564860
that and the eye searing bloom are what bother me most but I understand why the lip sync is the way it is (small indie company please understand) so I let it slide

>>717564860
I can forgive the shitty lip sync, wasn't it good if you played in French?

>>717564924
after few mil copies sold I hope they try to patch it later on

>>717564969
I don't think it's something they can easily patch, they'd have to redo the mocap entirely.

>>717565023
its not easy but it'd be valuable for the long term
like use it as opportunity to prepare for the next game with higher standards

>it's hideous

I can't imagine being such a spastic YouTuber faggot that you'd make up blatant lies for a few internet gibs. I played through Expedition 33 on Series S which is the 900p version with dogshit draw distance and I still thought it was a beautiful game. Kys troon

>>717564735
>>717564836
I legitimately have no idea what the fuck game this is, but I assume from the "fotm" title this is Schedule 1?

>>717565057
well I'd imagine they'd do the mocap and voice acting in the "proper" order for their next game, i.e. not cobble together the mocap scenes first over years then get the voice actors to try to match the mocap rather than the other way around.

>>717564581 (OP)
Didn't we just have this exact same thread three times earlier this week? New material, nig.

>>717564581 (OP)
I've been saying this since the fuckin thing released.

pixel dithered shadows? pixel dithered hair? are you fucking kidding me?
10+ year old games can render proper transparency but this piece of shit can't
and the artifacting and jittering is fucking terrible.

if your game looks so dogshit you need to blur the fuck out of it with TAA vaseline and AI scaling why in the hell would you release it in that state.

>>717565158

>>717565483
yeah, there's plenty on Youtube

>>717564959
The game's intended language is english, the lip sync just happens to be awful in some places especially during the prologue. Lune's voice acting is also pretty shit for most of Act 1.

I thought this was Vinesauce for a sec

It's funny how milennials are all rallying around expedition 33 like it's a piece of their personality or something. It's sad to watch. It's not a bad game and there's plenty to like but good lord these milennials are going over the top with this shit. It's like the kamala is brat shit how inauthentic it all is

He isn't wrong. The game does look like utter shit.

this is why shills are so fucking dumb.
dithering is literally the way theses shadows are rendered. there is no version of the game with real transparency but these lying retards will claim they own own a secret version of UE5 that works completely differently and no one else knows about.

>UE5 is bad because...because...

>>717566091
You realize plenty of people here grew up playing 480i PS2 games right? I'm not an E33 shill I'm just being honest. Complaining about the graphics with a game that looks as good as E33 shows either a spastic level of engagement bait or somebody who didn't play any video games prior to 2013

>>717564581 (OP)
This is the same retardation of console wars in the past.
Only instead of arguing about 32bit sounds sounding and looking like shit on nintendo they're arguing over game engines now.
And ultimately, has nothing to do with why people found the games good, despite the source engine being bad.
E33 proved you can use shitty ass store bought stock shit and make good game.
Thats it, thats what people are most terrified about.

>>717564581 (OP)
He's not wrong, it looks worse than most PS4 games and yet it requires modern hardware to run (PS4 had a fucking 750Ti equivalent)

doesn't this just mean you have incredibly low standards?

>>717566513
if you move far away enough from the screen so can't really see any details.. then you can't see how badly made the game is.

you dumb nigger.
-why are shadows noisy garbage on max settings?
-The actual effect is badly made dogshit (your cope is "just don't look at it)
-how can you excuse such dogshit rendering when even 12+ yr old games had far superior smoother shadows at way higher quality?

>>717566583
Game aged like milk and it hasn't even been 4 months

>>717566751
Post the full screenshot

>>717566580
480i PS2 games had proper transparency and can render smooth shadows with no dithering.
E33 can not. it's a downgrade form ps2 games.

>>717566580
jesus this is the saddest cope i've read all week lmao

i nooticed a lot of UE games struggled doing transparency and shadows

Yea you're clearly just here to troll or get clicks for your gay video if you think E33 is worse than PS2 era. Enjoy the gibs spastic

>>717567217
nta but it unironically does look worse than mgs2 and that was launch year for ps2

>>717567075
Game has the most gorgeous battle scar effects I've ever seen in an RPG. The way they rotate as you navigate through menus is a thing of beauty too.

>>717567217
E33 like many modern slop games has many downgraded technologies from PS2.

-the PS2 can render hair and shadows with full translucency.
-E33 can not.

-the PS2 can render real anti-alising and does not need upscaling or AI
-E33 can not

-the PS2 can render clean polygons without any artifacts
-E33 can not. it is more artifacts than actual graphics.

>>717567412

>>717564581 (OP)
The game is not optimized in a great way. At least on launch, I'm pretty sure there was some stock UE5 setting they forgot to change, and on top of that it has this MHWorld type of thing going on where it just looks weirdly grainy. Then again, it's UE5. The graphics weren't why I dropped the game, though. That was because I simply don't care for the focus on dodging/parrying when I am more used to standard JRPGs.

>>717567825
You forgot the ">" so you actually talk like that.

I hope you get paid to shill for this literally who.

I think it mostly looks good, even great in areas like frozen hearts. But my only major complaints with this game has always been the egregious bloom. Scorched my corneas more than a few times playing this, along with the PTSD of being reminded of the dogshit xbox 360 era of BROWN N BLOOM.

The other complaint is the picto/lumina menu is a piece of shit. They needed to put in loadouts so the player can avoid that nightmare of a menu as much as possible.

It's fun. It's a turn based RPG. It's the price of a fucking Wii game.

Everything about this dude screams grifter to me, from the piss baby attitude to him glazing poorly optimized and artistically bankrupt slop that run just as badly on the hardware of the time.

>>717568735
alright Threat Interactive, settle down. Did you finish your game yet? I'm guessing not because it's a lot easier to be a pretentious fuck and siphon Patreon dollars from your paypigs.

>>717568578
A PC wont change the way Unreal engine cheap rendering works. sub 40 IQ mongoloid.

I would post in the Armenian Cory thread doe

UE5 troons are too stupid to understand how much of their GPU is being wasted because of a dogshit engine.
-Pic 1 is shitty artifact riddled mess that represent the average UE5 visuals at native res.
-Pic 2 is the blurry mess after wasting 60% of your GPU on TAA smearing, AI scaling and downsampling from a higher resolution(AI) than should ever be necessary. All to do a shit job of attempting to hide how fucking bad UE5s native rending is.

-Pic 3 is what the native image should look like. A crisp and clear image if it was just rendered properly in a well made engine without low quality effects and artifacts.

>>717570316

Nobody who praises temporal SMAA in CryEngine games has the authority to say anything about graphics.

The fact this guy would shit on unreal engines TAA and then present CryEngine's temporal SMAA as a better alternative proves he is a deranged contrarian.

Genuinely kill yourself. Seriously, your family will feel nothing but relief.

As much as I dislike Kevin Rodruiges Garcia De la Blanca Escquador's obsession with photorealistic graphics, It's hard to deny that unreal engine 5 is going backward when it comes to fidelity.

>>717572520

>It's hard to deny that unreal engine 5 is going backward when it comes to fidelity.
it's not

>>717572656
wrong

>>717572520
It's the opposite. Lumen and Nanite are expensive but they are software solutions to tech that used to require hardware. That's why devs are using them and not Nvidia's solution. Like with ray cores they were being pushed out before the majority of gpus are really strong enough to run them smoothly, but getting your tech out first means you'll be the market leader.

>>717572607
>khaleesi
come on, son

>>717572853
Degraded quality and performance, it's a lazy solution where only nvidia wins.

>>717572946
Lumen runs better than Nvidia's raytracing. It will age better too

>>717572853
And ironically that is exactly why Lumen is shit. It tries to emulate the effect of RT but without any hardware, so you either get a version of Lumen that looks like complete shit and ghosts heavily during motion, or you get the hardware accelerated version of Lumen that actual looks good but then you might as well just do raytracing because it essentially is the same thing.

>>717572990
It looks awful and introduces awful artifacts, I'd rather take the novelty raytracing nvidia has a monopoly on.

>>717567093
It's a dumb minigame tucked away in the world map somewhere
You get a silly costume for the doll-man party member if you do it

>>717567923
It's grainy because game uses forced sharpening filter. But it's blurry mess even with it enabled.
I've installed multiple mods to fix the visuals but there is no way to fix hair rendering or noisy shadows and pop-in.

>>717572990
lumen is a poorly coded pile of camel shit.
if you make your own lighting and SSR systems it will run better and wont be filled with garbage artifacts.

>>717573067
Both amd and nvidia have ray cores that lumen can use and without being biased to one or the other. That's the advantage.

both of these rpgs released around the same time

>>717573216
the hair rendering is not because of sharpening. it's because they do not know how to render translucency, so they just dither the hair instead.

>>717568376
>blurry
It's the sharpening that you can't turn off. Lyall's patch fixed it, and you can fiddle with config files yourself, I think.

>>717573325
I know, I just said there is no way to fix those issues right now.
It looks even worse if you leave retarded cinematic DoF enabled.
