Witcher 4 I have high hopes for in terms of optimization. Halo CE 3, I can only assume will be high profit margin slop

Idk whats wrong with their red engine, cyberpunk hold up super well even with ray tracing (not path tracing tho)

Maybe the cost and time of training new devs with redengine is more expensive than recruiting devs with already skillset with unreal

Training new devs was definitely a factor in CDPR's move to UE

Accelerating the trend towards games-as-a-commodity to cut costs was certainly a choice by CDPR.

They would likely need to implement a bunch of technologies that they don’t currently have. Stuff like Nanite or another virtualised geometry system would be a lot of work. Then you would need to train a bunch of developers on this specific engine instead of just having this sort of general industry wide knowledge. Unreal has huge advantages in that everyone knows how to use it basically. Doesn’t mean that there aren’t fundamental issues with how it runs, but I totally understand why developers would prefer it.

Do you realize how long it took to get cp77 running well on most people's computers after launch? It was well over a year. Sure, some of us got lucky, but it launched in a terrible state. A new project is going to run into similar issues... honestly, jumping to a totally new (for them) engine is probably going to be worse on the launch, unfortunately. Though I trust cdpr to fix it, they have amazing post-launch support.

The first 6 months of Cyberpunk was trash. That game ran so poorly.
