Will There Be A New Unreal Game

Which game engine should I choose, Unreal or Unity?

That’s like asking if a ball peen hammer is better than a sledgehammer. They’re different tools suited to different types of jobs.If I were making a VR game or something even bordering on what you’d think of for a 3D console game, I’d pick Unreal every time. That goes double if multiplayer has to be involved. If I’m making a 2D game of any type, I’d pick Unity every time. The two engines don’t do so many things so differently that I couldn’t use one of them or the other, but their utilities, workflows, and resources lean just enough in one direction or another that some projects will work better in one than the other.To be specific, Unity has an easier and more efficient gameplay programming workflow and less general overhead, but it’s also less efficient with memory management, less efficient with asset management in-editor, and its 3D animation workflow is completely awful. Although it’s a truism that larger projects are harder to manage, Unity makes it exponentially so with ongoing difficulties interfacing with version control systems.Unreal has a significantly better technical art pipeline and a design-facing scripting system that’s to die for when it comes to very high-level scripting solutions, but gameplay programming is more effort-intensive owing to all the hoops you need to jump through with C++. For all that you buy generally better efficiency in projects that scale between mid-size and large, but for small projects it’s overkill and a half. Asset and scene management have been better in this engine since its inception.There’s a sweet spot in production scope where you just plain wouldn’t notice any of these differences — that’s the point where you’re working mainly out of Blueprint in Unreal and not otherwise leveraging most of its advantages. When you start to scale up and adopt more specialists, Unreal is more advantageous. The more you scale down, think of a 1–10 man job in about six months, Unity becomes the more advantageous. “Better” is thus entirely a question of circumstance.

I'd like to learn to make games using Unreal Engine. What is a good starting point?

Awesome, glad you're going to give game development a try! Everyone starts with no experience at some point.Best Unreal Engine tutorials recommended by programming community: https://hackr.io/tutorials/learn...I originally started just modding games and fooling around at home in my spare time and definitely would have loved to have been able to play around with full game engines back then! As others have suggested, I always tell people the best idea is to just jump right in, experiment, and see what happens.As for UE4, we're trying really hard to make getting started as a new user as easy as possible, with tutorials, sample content, videos, etc. The first time you step into making games (or using new software), there's always a learning curve and so many new things to pick up, but with practice you'll get the hang of it. The really great thing is there is plenty of help available all the time. Looking at this forum as an example, it only launched this week and it's already sprouting an awesome, helpful community that is producing tutorials and helpful tips left-and-right!If you already know C# and programming basics well, I don't think you'll have a super hard time transitioning to C++ in time. Each time you learn a new language, I find it becomes a bit easier to pick up another one.Anyway, we'd definitely be interested in knowing how your experience turns out as you learn from scratch! If there are certain areas that are especially confusing or you think are actually particularly helpful and you let us know, it'll help us make it easier for other new users in the future!

Are there any signs of there ever being a sequel to the game Unreal 2 (not Unreal Tournament, butbthe single player game)?

It's hard to say. Game developers are hesitant to comment on rumours and inferences and are equally hesitant to develop standalone single player games these days. Epic seems to be more interested in profiting from unreal engine than games themselves these days with good reason, it's a great revenue stream.The new unreal tournament is purely a marketing exercise for the unreal engine, encouraging people to develop content for the game also gets the same people developing their own content and buying content from the market place.Sorry I couldn't provide you with a solid answer but I'm leaning toward it being unlikely at this stage.

Was Fortnite made with Unreal Engine (because of Epic Games)?

Was Fortnite made with Unreal Engine?Yes.Epic games made both Fortnite and Unreal Engine. Why would they make a new engine or license another engine when they own one of the, if not the most well-established engine out there?

Is there a Game Engine that is more powerful than Unity (like Unreal Engine) but it is Open Source and it is 100% free?

“Is there a Game Engine that is more powerful than Unity (like Unreal Engine) but it is Open Source and it is 100% free?”The answer is still no.Sorry, good products cost money.If you aren't willing to invest in your own project, it probably doesn't matter anyway.

What happens when the Unreal Engine 5 comes out?

Realistically? Unless there are changes I haven’t heard of, games built with UE4 would still be functional in UE5.The companies who work on these game engines (such as Epic) know how much work developers have put into projects, and so they take special care to make new versions as backwards-compatible as possible. Usually, some code or components have to be updated or changed, but the entire game does not need to be rewritten from scratch.If, as you said, moving a game from UE4 to UE5 was not possible, the companies would probably continue to use the outdated UE4 to support the game, while working on future projects in UE5. Rebuilding a game from scratch in what would be essentially a new engine would cost way too much, and if the company had a game working perfectly fine before, there wouldn’t be enough of a reason to make that harsh transition over.If, as you said later on, tools for UE4 became inaccessible to developers once UE5 was released, support for all UE4 games would (understandably) come to a halt, perhaps except for the newest, highest-budget, triple-A games, which might have enough money behind them for the upgrade to be justified. Perhaps more notably, however, Epic Games would have a lot of very angry developers to deal with.
