NVIDIA and Epic Games have released an official Unreal Engine 4 RTX Tech Demo.

Am I crazy or is there an Unreal Engine 5 now? Why promote old tech?

[waverider]

I really dont understand either? isnt the Unreal Engine 5 already available for studios? arent they already working with it?

UE5 Is for PS5 only, deal with it! :D

UE5 is not released yet and developers for years will still make UE4 games because that's where their tools and customizations are.

Mortal Kombat still uses UE3. Mass Effect Legendary Edition is also still UE3.

[Magog]

That more of an embarrassing indictment of those devs than a reason to promote old software.

[Tacoboto]

Embarrassing indictment? You know nothing of software development then.

[Spenok]

Because a ridiculous amount of the industry still uses 4, and because no, 5 is not out yet. They said it would launch later this year.

[AuraAbjure]

Companies still use Unreal Engine 3.

[Tghood85]

Really impressive tech but I don’t even notice all of these benefits in real life, never mind being chased by zombies in a video game. Rather devote resources to resolution and frame rate.

[Magog]

If you suddenly stopped casting reflections in a mirror I think you would notice.

Edit: i misread this.
N4G really needs a delete comment button lol

Yes after seeing the Unreal 5 ps5 reveal, I thought that's where we were heading. But saying that I have read various articles that suggest its easy for developers to still work on Unreal 4 and carry everything over to Unreal 5 when needed, we shall see.
