Unreal Engine Erfahrungen

The best choice for ambitious 3D Games

Kommentare: I really liked using Unreal and prototyping quick ideas. It's a really flexible engine and really powerful. Even the testing stuff look and run great. I wish there was a more open community that helped each other out or introduced new users to advanced knowledge of the engine that you will only earn with time by using it.

Vorteile:

Unreal Engine has grown over the years and it's now more friendly to single developers, indy movie produces and indy game studios as well. It has a robust toolset that allows you to create 3D games with one of the best engines for realistic looks, yet you can use models that fit your artistic vision, ex: stylized games. If you want an example of how small studios can make a good unreal game, look for Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice and if you want to look for AAA Games that look extremely realistic or movie quality, look at Gears of War 5 or Kingdom Hearts 3. Unreal also has an asset store where you can buy models or tools to help you quickly build or prototype your game and it has a blueprint system that allows you to program your game logic without knowing how to write in C++. The engine also runs in a myriad of platforms including mobile.

Nachteile:

One of the downsides of Unreal is how complex it is when comparing it to Godot or Unity. The community for it, it's very small and a lot of the people who have knowledge on Unreal are tied behind studio contracts and maybe they're not allowed to share or help around in the web much, but when you look at Unity, there's dozens and dozens of websites, youtubers, courses and resources that you could basically build a game with no knowledge, but in Unreal it will take a lot of time and expertise on what you're doing. Also one last thing, you can build 2D games in Unreal, but you're better off using GameMaker or Unity for 2D Games. The community and engine support is just bigger and bettter.

Unreal Engine is a Must-Have Powerhouse for nearly any Artistic Developer

Kommentare: I wanted to learn to make Games but struggled with programming and Unreal Engine made it a very simple and straight forward process along with having lots of great assets for free every month. Most of the time if I need help I can find it either via the forums or youtube and udemy tutorials to bring my dream game ideas fully to life along with learning more each and every day.

Vorteile:

I love that UE is backed by amazing tutorials, keeps improving, has a lot of free assets, and is always very fun to jump right into using constantly along with the fact that it has the best Visual Scripting (Blueprints) toolset around to make it easy for anyone to make games or other various projects.

Nachteile:

Programming can be frustrating at times, Customer Support is almost non-existent, and occasionally trying to learn how to do something in it can become a nuance. On top of that some of the plugins and tools from third-parties are extremely expensive and overpriced which can force hackney methods to problem-solve.

Unreal Engine is your next 3D game engine!

Kommentare: Unreal Engine is very powerful compared to other engines I used. But it is one of the more confusing ones to learn if you are starting out with less coding knowledge.

Vorteile:

Unreal Engine is a great game engine for developing AAA games. It is very powerful compared to other 3D game engines. It can run code in C/C++ or in the visual Blueprints code.

Nachteile:

It is hard to get to know and it is pretty hard to understand the layout at first glance. They do charge 5% if your game makes over 1 million USD in total.

Good, useful ,user friendly

Kommentare: Kinda good 😊
But not satisfied
Waiting for the more features

Vorteile:

The first application I have tried only for learning programming I love features and interface of application

Nachteile:

It crashes some times when I opened Also it's not working for all types of phones

GRAPHICS ARE GOOD

Kommentare: So far playing games under UNREAL ENGINE is good and nice, it helps my gaming experience more exciting and intense, game graphics is one to consider in playing so better to check also PC requirements to meet quality graphics that UNREAL ENGINE provides to better gaming experience.

Vorteile:

As far as I know PUBG is one of the game that the Graphics was under UNREAL ENGINE, during play game for me graphics are nice and very detailed, graphics in max settings was likely gives your games intense and exciting.

Nachteile:

Since graphics is nice and very detailed mostly games under UNREAL ENGINE needs high PC Requirements. but I think there is an option you can lower the graphics at cost of game speed.

UNREAL ENGINE IS THE BEST ENGINE!

Kommentare: I had so much fun using this engine! I don't think i'll ever switch!

Vorteile:

I absolutely love using Unreal Engine to learn how to make games! I love playing games that are made with this engine as well!

Nachteile:

The only thing I can complain about is why they don't make even more games !!! they are awesome!

Unreal is UNREAL

Vorteile:

I like its simplicity and variety of product types and markets

Nachteile:

It has optimisation issues and causes my pc to crash

Incredibly Powerful Tool for Architectural Visualization with Fantastic Pricing Structure

Kommentare: Our experience with the engine has been phenomenal. The combination of the freedom-of-entry without product limitations and the vast array of free assets and plugins made available by Epic Games has allowed prototyping to progress with great speed. If we had to make all of the materials and models ourselves instead of simply assembling, lighting, and rigging them, it would make previsualization cost-prohibitive for our small team which also juggles many other types of work.

Vorteile:

I love that Epic Games, creator of Unreal Engine, has a pricing model which makes the full version of the product available for free to anyone, and only charges when creators make money from the content they produce.

Nachteile:

There is a lack of broader support in Unreal for 3D assets made in other programs, with the only accepted filetype being .fbx . As it was, assets created by others frequently had to go through a 3D modeling program to export from their existing file type to fbx, often losing some aspects of the data (such as positional placement, scale, etc.) along the way. Overall, however, this is a very minor issue.

Future investment

Kommentare: Despite the difficulties of its extensive features, it's an investment for the future. New versions and future games use the same methodology and once core features have been masters, learning new things comes with ease. There's also a lot of information, guides, courses and tutorials available to those who want to learn quicker and more efficient.

Vorteile:

UE has everything needed for creation of games. Their advanced animation trees are an extremely useful resource that has never failed, be it with indie of AAA games.

Nachteile:

To use UE is to put yourself through years of mastering details. The difficulty curve is steep and the advanced UI of the program doesn't make it much easier. It is but a tool for those who already posses knowledge on how to use it, but for small-time indie companies it's an investment of time and money trying to figure out how to achieve their goals.

The best for 3D games and real life scenes

Vorteile:

With UE5 the next generation of games are going to be amazing. The fees are straightforward, the asset market place is great (plus Epic give you free assets each month), the tools are easy to use, there are many guides on YouTube if you're stuck (and a huge community), its easy to make games compatible on many devices, plugins are plentiful, the list goes on really...

Nachteile:

The no code option is great but with each update, some bits get reworked and removed meaning that you'll need to use different blocks to do the same action. This can mess up certain mechanics and make doing some bits difficult (granted it would probably be easier if i learnt C++ better).

Unreal is the engine of choice for advanced 3D projects

Kommentare: I recommend Unreal for any Studio that doesn't need an in-house engine and wants to work on 3D heavy projects. This engine will allow any Studio with the right resources, to create a project that could easily compete with bigger Studios. It's easily accessible, cheap, powerful and has a great history and support to it.

Vorteile:

Being based on an existing game, and evolving since the earlier ages of 3D games, Unreal3D is the perfect match for any Studio which doesn't want to build, maintain and optimize its own in-house Engine. The expertise of Epic, the number of users worldwide and the multiple layers of development allows many different users to access and create assets/features easily. The Engine comes up with a great online tutorial and basic project within the engine, allowing anyone to play around and create prototypes easily. Blueprints are also a great way for anyone to experiment with behaviors and mechanics, without any code knowledge. When getting deeper into the production of a project, the possibility to turn those blueprints into actual C++ code, offers even more optimization possibilities to the developers. The access to a lot of plugins, assets and blueprints on the Unreal Marketplace is also a great way to share knowledge and allow projects to move forward.

Nachteile:

The Engine is heavy and demands a powerful computer. This is a mandatory investment if you want to push your project further. The Engine is also very fat and the bigger it grows, the more space it will take on your versioning software. Unreal3D also offers limited compatibility with git (our version software of choice).

If you want to build a game and have 0 experience, THIS IS FOR YOU!

Kommentare: Fantastic, this is the only program I would recommend for low experience first timers, and even the more experienced, although for those reading this review, if you are more experienced, you probably should go read another review from someone who has been doing this for years. But if you are reading this as a low-experienced person, this is the program.

Vorteile:

There are so many pro's to using Unreal Engine it's ridiculous, so I am just going to keep it general because I doubt I could even remember all the specifics. Simply put, it actually FEELS like a company that WANTS you to succeed. I came into Unreal Engine with 0 experience and have been able to program a game (it's unfinished) where my character can move, my map is procedural generated, I've got enemies that move/attack, I figured this out from complete scratch, I have never coded anything in my life and I was able to do this with free tutorials (except for one time where I paid $1 to someone's patrion to help with enemy detecting players and stuff like that). Back to what I was saying at the beginning where they actually want you to succeed, at every turn it felt like there was someone there helping me, for instance I needed combat items and pick-up-able items in my game, and I was 100% I was going to have to ALSO learn a program like blender to make those items and import them over, nope, they have a free store IN the engine that allows you to just grab stuff like that, and they are fantastic, not just some crap. They have different numbers of triangles for each item, even the one (I'm blanking on the name) but where the triangles reduce when you are further away. They have thousands of materials for anything you would like, they legitimately want to allow people like me, with 0 experience, to make anything they want, and the do a heck of a job at it.

Nachteile:

There are no cons, there are legitimately no cons. Now take this with a grain of salt because I came into with 0 experience and am probably around 500-1000 hours in now, so there could be cons I could not identify, but I think even someone with experience would agree, because even with the nodes that are designed to make programming a game easier, you can edit with C++ if you are some advanced-game-making-wizard and want to make them customized. I just don't see why you would make a game on any other platform at this point.

Easy to use, with wide variety of games already in the engine; needs better community support

Kommentare: I've enjoyed it, and have created some fun 3d environments. As with most EG resources, its dependable and gets the job done.

Vorteile:

There's already a wide array of games available to run in the engine. Since its so widely deployed already, the array of available games for sampling and ideas are endless. I also like how they constantly provide updates and patches for bug fixes, sometimes multiple times a week. There really isnt any way to beat the pricing, unless a platform is going to pay you to use their engine ( LOL)

Nachteile:

The editor is more complicated that Photoshop's tool set, if that's possible! So the learning curve is HUGE! There's a ton of options that are not relevant to current projects, so the tool set should be dynamic rather than static. For an engine this widely used, it's baffling that there is not a better online community for support, ideas, and think-tanking. If Epic can't develop their own, they should fund some 3rd party projects. Wish they had better 2d tools.

As a tool for the entertainment industry and computer games, it's fantastic!

Kommentare: Using it to create lifelike simulations that can be played in development games, it has assisted in the resolution of numerous issues because of its excellent visuals and ease of level design. People can forget they're in a virtual reality simulation and other projects if they use the VR plugin correctly and the material editor correctly.

Vorteile:

You can use it from novice to expert, thanks to its user-friendly interface and extensive tool set. Compared to its rivals, it provides better visual technology and material editors that are extremely useful to game designers. Even if you've never coded before, Unreal Engine's visual scripting makes it simple to create a game.

Nachteile:

Compared to Godot or Unity, Unreal is a more difficult platform to use. Because of the small size of the Unreal community and the restrictions imposed by studio contracts, many people with expertise in Unreal are restricted from freely sharing their knowledge online. In contrast, with Unity, there are literally thousands of websites, youtube channels, courses, and other resources available to anyone who wants to start making games from scratch. Finally, you can make 2D games in Unreal, but it's better to use GameMaker or Unity for 2D games. As a result, the community and engine support have grown and improved.

Unreal

Kommentare: Unreal Engine is a powerful game engine that allowed me to make games in school projetcs

Vorteile:

unreal is free for everybody. If you wanna work int the game industry or learn to do code C+++ this is the way to go. Alots of video games that are published by triple-A studio use Unreal Engine.

Nachteile:

It could be overwhelming at first cause Unreal engine has a lot to offer to anyone wanting to build a level, import animation, etc.

Such a robust game engine

Kommentare: Once you look at games produced with unreal engine it is really a no brainer figuring out why it is leading the game development industry, it is just so powerful and a good experience overall when working with it. I highly recommend it.

Vorteile:

Unreal engine is one of the game engines that is setting the standard in todays video games industry. It is so powerful and it's games have such a high quality. For any programmer with a solid C++ knowledge beginning your experience with unreal programming shouldn't be much problem. Something that is a plus with this engine is how many tutorials online you can find, which is always a plus either when you are a begginer or when you want to go pro.

Nachteile:

Even small games produced with Unreal engine are really heavy compared with other engines, however quality always comes at a price.

Amazing experience with Unreal Engine 5

Kommentare: Overall, I am extremely happy with my experience using Unreal Engine 5. It has exceeded my expectations in every way and has allowed me to create some truly stunning content.

Vorteile:

The graphics and performance in Unreal Engine 5 are top-notch. The toolset is also very user-friendly and intuitive, making it easy to create high-quality content.

Nachteile:

There is a bit of a learning curve to get started with Unreal Engine, but once you get the hang of it, it's worth it.

Very good, innovative and functional!

Kommentare: I already had the chance to play with this engine. And the beauty of every environment that it provides is clear.
It's innovative, from life to every created creation and has the chance to command and be at the forefront of a new generation of games.

Vorteile:

It's a good engine! Sensational games were made with it. I believe that to highlight graphic minutiae and lighting is ideal for the new generation of video games. I like how easy everything is rendered with this engine. Making even a developer's work more practical.

Nachteile:

What I liked the least was that in certain games, as it is an advanced engine, it needs to meet the expectations of what it proposes. And when it goes to mobile or a previous generation console, the exception reduces. Because you see it doesn't offer what it could.

Unreal Engine: Square One

Vorteile:

Unreal engine is very beginner friendly. I personally found it very easy to get started on my most recent gaming project, and I can’t say I’ve run into any problems.

Nachteile:

This may be a personal problem, but I don’t have great fps with it, but my computer is pretty bad so that explains that.

Unreal Engine: The Game Engine for You

Kommentare: Unreal Engine has been a great engine to use for both prototyping and fine tuning projects. The built-in tools as well as the axillary tools available for download and integration result in your dreams truly being the limit, as can be seen in many amazing, extremely high quality games made using Unreal Engine.

Vorteile:

Unreal has been used for a number of triple A games, and after using the product, it is understandable why. Many features are easy to pick up, but underneath the simplicity the nuts and bolts are very complex and well integrated. With a thorough knowledge of coding, one boarders on wielding magic when using Unreal Engine.

Nachteile:

The learning curve is rather steep, as is to be expected; coding, game development, etc, is hard, and takes much knowledge and skills. However, Unreal Engine provides many learning aids both in the program itself and in axillary programs they run and support. Once the base knowledge has been gained and imprinted into the mind, the tool only becomes more useful.

Definitely advised for a novice game creator as it is simple to learn and cost-free!

Kommentare: Overall, novice and experienced game makers should definitely try it. Personally, I've found it enjoyable and have made numerous 3D environments. Even while it could be challenging at first, with little practice, you'll get the feel of it.

Vorteile:

The user-friendly and approachable design of Unreal Engine is excellent. You don't need to be a programmer to use it and obtain results with it that are helpful. Thanks to its user-friendly interface and rich toolkit, you may use it at any level, from beginner to expert. It offers superior graphic technology and material editors compared to its competitors, which are very helpful to game designers. Unreal Engine's visual scripting makes it simple to create a game even if you've never programmed before. The engine is already capable of running a huge variety of games.

Nachteile:

To be expected with complex software, some of the capabilities are understandably challenging to learn. Finding the logic required to use the Blueprints is the hardest part. Because Unreal engine offers so much to offer those looking to create levels, import animation, etc., it could seem intimidating at first.

Using to create professionnals prototypes (indutrials and training)

Vorteile:

Everything, the philosophy, the functionnalities, tons of it ! It's a very well engineered piece of tech, and it evolve every month. As a developer, I love the way, Unreal handle things and how I'm not limited by it to create tailored functionnalities and experiences.

Nachteile:

Not so much really, I never felt limited or blocked in my developpement thanks to the blueprint system that allow me to create functionnalities that I would not be able to develop otherwise

Unreal Bruh

Kommentare: My overall experience with Unreal has a very fun and enjoyable experience as a gamer. Keep it up!

Vorteile:

I have used Unreal Engine in a variety of my games as an end-user! Unreal engine creates some of the best looking graphics that I have seen in games. When I see their logo I know that it is going to look amazing.

Nachteile:

I have no cons about Unreal Engine! They make a good quality visual product and has been around for years.

An excellent too for advanced game development

Kommentare: I have been using Unreal Engine in order to develop my own high graphics and beautiful games.

Vorteile:

Unreal Engine is a an extraordinary tool for creating quality high graphics games. A great advantage that the software has is that the final products works on any type of device. The graphics and light quality of the software is more realistic and advanced compared to any other game engine. The software has its own store where they provide many different assets for your game. For the beginner developers Unreal Engine provides Blueprints, with which the user can create games without any knowledge of programming language.

Nachteile:

The only disadvantage of the software is that it requires a powerful computer and your final product will also have high requirements.

What is not to love about a AAA game engine that is given to you for free??

Kommentare: It's been a really good one. Their support for it is really good and they make sure to include their people that know the particular areas of the Engine really well that you are utilizing.

Vorteile:

I love how incredible powerful it is yet still remains relatively easy to use. It has pretty much every feature you could need and if it doesn't, you can add it since its open source. You have an incredibly powerful tool at your disposal. You can use it from everything from games, to architecture visualization, and whatever else your imagination can dream up.

Nachteile:

The Editor needs a pretty beefy computer to run well, especially when you need to build the lighting in a level. You can set up cloud services to assist with this though, but that's an additional cost. It does so much that there are some things it just doesn't do well, yet. Like the multi-user editor environment; it works, but you have to jump through some hoops to get it to work and it gets out of sync easily.
