Seems of limited use considering Unreal Engine's source code is available, and UE is probably a better engine and also legal to use in your games (albeit only for a percent of royalties).
- adamnemecek 5y agoI mean, it's not about the engine, it's about the fact that it's a whole game.
- megameter 5y agoThe time when game sources were a major competitive advantage ended roughly around the start of the iPhone era, not just because of more source availability but also a shift towards cross-platform maintenance, live support, and high fidelity assets as the things that distinguish large productions. Like, you still get "asset flip" games that copy default projects, but they are background noise. Having the source to something large like CDPR's games doesn't mean you have access to the studio infrastructure of CDPR.
- jimbob45 5y agoI dunno about that. The failure of UT could not have been parlayed into the runaway success of Fortnite without Epic’s ability to redirect the engine being constructed to their new needs. By and large I suppose I agree with you.
- anotherman554 5y agoAre there any games similar to Cyberpunk 2077 or the Witcher that use Unreal Engine? I assume game companies are not making their own engines for fun.
- mikewhy 5y agoDeus Ex, a first person immersive sim with a lot of similarities to Cyberpunk 2077, used Unreal Engine. The more recent games in the series were a different engine.
- aufhebung 5y agoTo be fair, Deus Ex is nowhere near the scope and complexity of Cyberpunk 2077

- 5partan 5y agoPlayed TOW, FF7R and DG. Yes all are games, but that's about it. They don't compare to each other, let alone to Cyberpunk 2077. Lets go with TOW as it is the only first person game. How can you compare the dialogues in CP 2077, where you can walk away and move around to those fixed camera frames of TOW?
