Unreal Engine 4 is crap compared to the other game engines I mentioned here. These engines do high fidelity graphics at sometimes 1080p 60 fps on base consoles. Unreal engine 4 games are not as graphically impressive, and run at less than optimal resolutions and framerates on consoles.

Dragon Ball FighterZ is the only Unreal Engine 4 game on consoles which runs 1080p 60 fps but it isn't graphically impressive while Soulcalibur 6 and Tekken 7 are the only other 60 fps games with decent visuals but are 900p games.

Gears 4's multiplayer is 1080p 60fps on the X and Gears 5 is pushing for 60fps in all modes. 

What UE4 games run at less than optimal resolutions and framerates on both base consoles?

1080p 60 fps on Xbox One X. X! Fox engine and the Resident Evil engine which is used by DMC is doing 1080p 60 fps on a base PS4.

I didn't mean to say that resolution and framrate are less than optimal, but one of them is, so a game may be 1080p 30 fps and another is 900p 60 fps when running on Unreal Engine.

Gran Turismo Sport is definitely up there but Devil May Cry 5 looks amazing on Xbox One X and is 4K 60 fps.

Read the above reply for why Unreal Engine 4 wasn't that good.

Yoshi is not close to being graphically impressive in any shape and form. We haven't seen anything from Bayonetta 3 but as its a Switch game it will not look as good as Devil May Cry 5.

Just checked the gameplay, and nope, DMCV doesnt look nearly as good as Gran Turismo Sport. Infact, GT sport puts many 30fps gams to shame.

Have you played Gears 4? Its one of the looking games of this gen, just look at Xbox One X gameplay. Proves that engine is capable. Its the devs who are just not using it skillfully enough

edit: I've realized "skillfully enough" isnt the right thing to say here. What I mean to say is that a lot of teams eithr have a smaller budget/shorter developer time, or just going for a specific artistic choice that isnt going for realism.

Gears 4 is a good looking game, but the devs had to cut back on either resolution else framerate. Its not like DMC which is good looking as well as runs native 4K and 60 fps.

Digital Foundry themselves have stated many engines to be superior to Unreal Engine on consoles. Unreal is amazing on PC if you have the hardware to push it, but it doesn't do as admirably as other engines designed for limited hardware capabilities.

In addition to Gears 4/5 as mentioned by CGI, Hellblade looks absolutely incredible on UE4 and hits 1080p on base PS4 and between 4K and 80% of 4K on the X.

Hellblade is good looking and runs at 1080p but does so at 30 fps. Its also far from being anywhere near as good looking as some PS4 exclusives.

Devil May Cry 5 looks better and runs at 1080p 60 fps on PS4. Doom looks better and mostly runs at 1080p 60 fps on PS4. Gran Turismo Sport looks better and runs at 1080p 60 fps. Red Dead Redemption 2 and Horizon look way better while running at the same resolution and framerate.
