Epic CEO: Unreal Engine 5 performance issues mainly due to devs not optimizing properly

Yeah the engine can definitely deliver great results when devs make the right calls and have sufficient time and resources; games like Hellblade II look phenomenal on it.

It kinda reminds me of UE4 on Switch 1, where it could produce good results when done right (Pikmin 4, Ace Combat 7, Bright Memory Infinite, etc) but a lot of the time it over-stressed the system resulting in poor image quality.

I think the problem is game engines are outpacing hardware.  Which is why I don't believe we are hitting diminishing returns.  Hardware has gotten scare at a reasonable price because of AI data centers and crypto currencies.  

I like my ps5 but it is based on 2018 GPU...  pushing a decade old.  

I used to believe in diminishing returns until I went PC.
