GB: "Much has been said about the PlayStation 4's 8 GB GDDR5 RAM - how much of it can be used for games, if it truly makes the console next-gen, and more. Given how there will be plenty of games this coming generation to take advantage of Unity, we thought to get the opinion of Unity CEO's David Helgason on the matter."
Unity has shared a new tech demo that showcases what's possible in the latest version of the Unity 6 Engine, called Time Ghost.
You never see anything close to these tech demos in actual game releases. More fluff than anything.
How does it feel to not be in the sequel to your own franchise? Their virtue signal will cost them sales
I think Unity exposed themselves last year, and IMO any developer should just stay away from them completely.
Exactly my thoughts, they killed so much interest in their engine since doing that. Godot looks like it's rising to take it's place as the indie darling game engine.
In its current pace, Godot would need decades to reach Unity's current state. Almost no studios use it. For hobbyists, it's a valid option, though.
Gotta be real about it: Unity was and will continue as the market leader for small studios. There's no competition in this sense.
The thing is: there's nothing even remotely as good as Unity for small studios game development, even if you consider the company's disgraced trust.
So, sure, it's your opinion, but most professionals have not and will not leave Unity.
And Godot is a hobby project in comparison, not even an option.
The thing is: this is the kind of comment Unity was getting when it was up and coming.
I remember when I started learning Unity it was looked at with disregard, this is where Godot is now, remember this, in a few years, Godot will get there.

I hope you realize how ridiculous your comments sounds when you suggest "Waiting for Godot" is an option.
It made me chuckle for a good 20 seconds.
@plmkoh
Haha I’m not suggesting to wait for it. I’m saying with all the updates (each one better than the previous one) Godot will get where it needs to, to be considered more than just a hobby engine.
In fact it can already do a lot, it’s all about how you approach the problem.
PlayCanvas, Babylon, Defold, Cocos Creator etc.
This generic statement of "it's not as great as Unity YET" could be applied to any other engine (no offense to these mentioned great engines).
The fact is: it is a hobby engine, almost no studio is using it. As much as I'd like to see Unity fall, it's not happening at all. There's simply no competitor.
Unity has announced that it's cancelling the controversial runtime fee, and going back to a seat-based subscription model for game developers.
I guess it bite them in the ass. Pretty sure it's still too late and those who were burned by it, will not come back.
Hmm.
They may just remain a company after all. They lost a lot of good faith with all this, however.
Jan 8 (Reuters) - Videogame software provider Unity Software (U.N) will target laying off approximately 25% of its workforce, or 1,800 jobs, the company said in a regulatory filing and internal company memo on Monday.
What a waste. And despite all of this cut and slash, their polices are doubling down on what led to all of this. They have committed themselves to bring a losing brand going forward. Good riddance. Maybe Microsoft will buy them out, they seem to have a lot in common.
That doesn't even make sense. I read/watch a lot of sci-fi, and nobody is ever developing games. Ender Wiggin plays games... that's about it.
It's awesome, yes. But.... sci fi? Come on. Does that mean PCs can traverse the multiverse?
The PS4 is what I would imagine James T Kirk would play in his private quarters!
People are always going to say nice things about the most popular console.
It's where they plan to make the most cash.
What matters is what you actually see in the form of games. I am pretty sure the articles on here showing many developers struggling to hit the 1080p/60 frame industry standard in 2013 speaks for itself.
This isn't even about creating an argument. Really isn't. I just feel all of these wank-bait articles need to be put into perspective. If this is magic tech from the gods, why are we already seeing developers make cuts to what they are doing? The need for "console optimization" shouldn't be this apparent out of the gate. Not when using already established engines from the last couple years.
I am planning on rolling out the next generation of Internet from Sci-Fi. It is called the Astra-Web. The technology is proven. Computers will connect to the Astral Plane in order to communicate. Zero lag time or latency.
