First... Epic's support, UE4 is officially no longer supported by Epic itself, which means also no improvement for the player as much as more difficulties for the developers... if a developer decides to stick with UE4 the longer the wait for the change lasts greater the gap between competitors. As a Game Developer myself I would consider that a suicide. I keep myself always up to date, even if that means having to learn again and redo things sometime even from scratch... but at least I never feel walking backwards like a lobster!Hi guys,
What is the difference between version U5 and U4?
which one is better ?
Second... yes it means harder requirements for the players to play, and also for the developers because the editor of UE has more technical requirements than the final game, but in general it favors performance improvements over time, increasing number of resources to optimize both workflow for the developer and gameplay for the player. just to give an example... previous version, UE5.2, was a pure nightmare for my laptop, with immediate crash on launch and my desperate fear my laptop could give up on me and me having to give up my game development dreams. The version 5.3 came just in time to save me with no more crashes, performance improvements, and new tools to enjoy and dream bigger.
Speaking of dreaming... here the third reason why UE5 is a must for me and should be a must for everyone... the incredible things Unreal Engine allows to create and enjoy and the list is so long it might take forever to list and explain them all!
Last thing I can tell you... if your computer's specs are better than mine [can see them down below at the bottom] you're gonna have a great UE5 experience. I run WildLife at ultra in 4K at 3480x2160 resolution. FPS are not crazy but i'm fine with those 20 it goes with.
Enjoy gaming [or developing or both]!
