And VR! Let's make VR an essential part of the game too!

Can anyone else think of any upcoming untested technologies we can incorporate into Ashes of Creation that will delay release and potentially sink the project altogether as it reaches a Star Citizen level of feature creep and endless development only fueled by scamming customers into buying promises that will never be fulfilled?

This is so much fun!

HOLODECK!!!

When you said "upcoming", you meant: "At some point maybe in a possible future of maybes", right?!

The sky isn't even the limit here Davey.

Most likely, when AoC is ready there will be UE6 and people will ask for that. 🤣

Why would they migrate a game that's near the end of its development cycle that's already having the issue of being delayed? The game looks great already and I'd rather have stability than better graphics. If anything, they would upgrade to UE4. Would also be something to do overtime down the line, not out the gate.

Does Ashes want to eventually be on UE6?
If so, let's not forget it's easier to keep up with iterative updates than it is to jump from UE4 -> UE6 all at once.

My concern with porting down modules from future versions of UE is that as time goes on, the context of each module gets further and further away from your custom UE4, which increases the complexity of your code, and risks spaghetti.

For games with shorter lifespans and fewer updates, this isn't normally something you need to consider. However, Ashes is an MMO and has potential to live a long life - so it's for sure worth asking.

That said, the "UE5" that we're talking about is actually UE5EA - EA meaning Early Access. The point of EA is to let people test the waters before official release in 2022. So I'm keen to hear what the decision is.

But, I like spaghetti.

if the game contains what Steven says on live broadcasts, plus it will be on the Unreal Engine 5 engine, it will destroy the system for years and it will be the top game of all time MMORPG

UE5 is to fresh. Better to keep a more stabile build and upgrade when UE5 have a longer proven record of being an upgrade, outside just gfx

This. Don’t be an early adopter, do you guys want a bad launch?

I don't think this wonderful game will be out until a few more years. UE5 won't be considered an early adoption then. I would rather they made the change now instead of later. At least now they would be able to take full advantage of all the new changes quicker.

Atama

If you swap to UE5 when it’s new you’re an early adopter. It doesn’t matter when you release. I can’t believe that needs to be said.

And if they swap then you’re not talking about releasing in a few years, try doubling that.

The vast majority of MMO players are less concerned about graphics than gameplay and stability.

Improving the graphics on an MMO has a really low ROI.

Especially since you risk pushing the requirements for the game higher, potentially losing more customers.

Does it need explaining that people that care about swap to ue5 are launch hypers that will stop playing pretty quickly after they explore the world?

I think it really depends on what is on the critical path of the project. Resources that aren't involved with the critical path of milestones have more flexibility with their time commitments.

If the team fleshing out systems and classes requires much more time, maybe taking some time for a switch of engine wouldn't actually push out the release.

McMackMuck

UE5 is new. It will have teething issues that will eat up dev hours. Let others spend their resources helping Epic Games develop UE5. The right time to even consider moving to UE5 is in a few years time when it is more mature and stable. That way, if there is a perceived cost vs. performance benefit, the cost of implementation is less likely to spiral out of control.

I rather have Vulcan support than UE5. Something OS Independent. But lets the devs decide, me using linux to play doesnt mean there is a BIG market for it.

Man cant bealive this was very old post and its happening WOW

Not just Unreal 5, @JesusHealYou ... Unreal 5.2.

Exciting for sure.

If you're able to steer clear of your blockchain utopia daydreams, you'll be hitting full stride.

Blockchain is future of gaming

If you don't mind I have a few question about that:
How is a blockchain adding to the core principles of games?
Or are you talking about a specific type of game - if so would you explain how that type of game is benefitting from using blockchains?
In what way would a blockchain be implemented?
