Game launched in UE5. No crashes after trying quite a few characters and animations. But the levels are all fucked up and the character textures are weird. The lighting does look incredible... and i dont even have RTX, just a 1080ti. Ran on NVME and Ryzen 3600x with 24gb ram. Playback was 60pfs at 2k vysnc everything maxed out.
i feel bad for the devs.... so much work and now ue5 breaks so much stuff lol i really hope they either wait for epic to make the transition easier. doesnt seem like a good investment of time to go ue5 if it sets development back a ton.
the new Rawn good boy animation is a very much desirable style of content and pretty damn good execution of such.
ive never supported this dev since they always had 100k+ per MONTH since I can remember, but honestly, if this game came out on steam or some shit and had DLC's with new missions and animations and enemies etc, i would absolutely pay for that. or their website directly IDGAF about steam.
So i guess im trying to say, i really hope devs focus on rolling out a game with in game or website purchases for large gameplay experiences (no not micro transactions XD). im sure they already have a plan, i just really want to play some gameplay and mission loops instead of monthly small animation updates etc. theres already SO much content and animations. i know they have a few missions but theyre very simple and theres no NPC attack sex scenes etc, or a gameplay loop for "giving up" and experiencing all the amazing animations and characters that would satisfy that loop.
in time, i hope!
TLDR the UE5 is super broken, new animations are cool but not worth trying to make work if your PC is oldschool janktrash.
