Not to dismiss the effort by dev, but all Unreal engine games look photoreal these days. My point is that photorealism does not show effort these days.

- uxhacker 3mo agoAre we talking about train engines or games engines:)
- arjie 3mo agoOh wow, I didn't know engines provided that much functionality. Thank you.
- rcoveson 3mo agoMost of the review is about the art assets, and I doubt the big ones (e.g. the trains themselves) are off-the-rack Unreal assets. An engine like Unreal 5 will cast your assets in harsh relief. Which is to say, if your game's assets look custom and look good in Unreal 5, it does indeed demonstrate effort and skill.
- smusamashah 3mo agoIt's the lighting etc that provide photo realism with Unreal. Even the demo that comes with Unreal where a robot is running around cubes on a small plain looks photoreal.
