Unreal Engine 5.1

I have no idea if Battlefront has any plans to change their graphics rendering in the future, but this video is still worth a look.
Many examples shown here look amazingly realistic. Also some examples show pretty big maps, like one with 100 000 trees and the view could still be scrolled in real time.

would surely be cool seeing a CM game in that quality. But then comes you need likewise quality on vehicles and other game objects as well. Is terrain deformable? Can slit trenches and foxholes get worked on it? How´s about path finding dynamic game objects (vehicles, soldiers...)? Is there enough performance left for running a sophisticated AI? What would be a computer´s minimum requirements? Licensing fees?

If they're not at least considering this or something like it they'll be dead in the water within a decade imho. Not because their games are crappy but because the next gen gamer will expect a lot more than the current engine can ever offer.

Hehe  I got at least three cores that sit idle whenever I play CM, not to mention a graphics card that laughs at me when I pan around and complain about crap frame rates.

Can´t add to that Mark. Off course. But I´m speaking of a full game package UE 5.1, all inclusive. However...

UE 5.1 features look very interesting https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/blog/unreal-engine-5-1-is-now-available

at least when it comes to basic hard- and software specs I feel prepared https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.1/en-US/hardware-and-software-specifications-for-unreal-engine/

There appears to be some interesting advancements in using U5 for an RTS style game - time will tell of course.

Yeah, I like what I see there. What I hate is if games based on that have an editor (like ARMA bulldozer and other stuff). I tend to spend considerably more time with these than playing an actual game. lol
