Why The "Most Optimized" UE5 Game is a Hideous, Slow Mess

Video Description

Threat Interactive Video 18 deconstructs Clair Obscur's UE5 optimization failures to disprove the overwhelming internet claims hyping this game as a technical optimization masterpiece. We also take the unique stance of proving why realistic graphics are not problem in modern games, but rather the lack of actual realism brought in modern graphics techniques. Our host will go over the sloppy history and poor standards tolerated at Epic Games engineering and why change through a unified effort must happen asap. We are here to provide the PROOF for gamers and guide developers about the modern issues with how realism is being destroyed by poor shader designs.
