Can you elaborate what the discussion is over Fortnite Chapter 3 adopting UE5? They say it'll include more diverse destructibility and physics but unsure how that scales with different platforms.
I haven't been paying that close attention to the nitty-gritty features of Unreal Engine 5, really. I watched the reveal video where they were talking about their photogrammetry scanning stuff and how nice their lighting engine was. How it basically allowed them to do huge, unheard of, cinema-quality detail in games.
I rolled my eyes a little, because crazy detail like that isn't free, financially speaking. I know Epic wants to start building an asset storefront for people to sell photo "mega-scans" of rocks and whatever to make it easier for everyone to have access to this stuff, but it still seemed like the sort of thing you'll need eight-figure budgets to get anything out of.
But obviously not a lot of that is going to apply to a cartoony game like Fortnite.
Skimming Epic's own page about UE5 physics, they're claiming the new engine is both more robust and more optimized than UE4. The article is pitched as a comparison between UE5's in-house "Chaos" physics, and PhysX, which I'm going to take a guess means UE4 was using PhysX.
As long as it means I can continue to play Fortnite on the Switch, I'm fine with it. It's pretty much the only console I can reliably play games on right now.
