the castle was done well, the rest of the game and overall gameplay not so much. They were clearly rushed halfway through the project.

Yeah for sure doing side content really soured the game for me. More than any over played before. Overall still a Great game just needed a bit more time

​@@nobu3358 This. Overall it's 6/10 - And that's only because the Castle was so good. There is definately fun to be had if you're a fan, but it's nowhere near as good as reviews made it out to be.

Same it was a fun platinum. Just wished it was longer in every chapter pretty much.

That's one of the issues with the tutorial world in general. There's an oversaturation of content for beginners, and then a sparse number of courses for intermediate levels. And for truly advanced levels, there's little to nothing most times.

@@loveadeola What? You don't like seeing yet another tutorial that shows you how to move your character AND have a health bar on the screen?? 🤣

Unreal Engine is free until you earn $1M USD, then it's just 5%.

@@Isaacrl67 I think he is talking about playing HL in the editor

The game would likely not get an upgrade (very messy process) but it's unclear what version they would use in the sequel

What will happen ? 🤔 what special will happen ? The game would still look unrealistic and fake clay type characters, there is nothing realistic graphics in this game, it still looks to me like some clay type old games, there are other games that are wayyyy more realistic and shockingly super good.

@@mybeautifulcat7011That’s called stylization, and it tends to age far better than “realistic graphics”

@@mybeautifulcat7011 you do understand what art style is right? Edit : It is not hard to get a game to look good but not while getting a good framerate. All recent games have been failing spectacularly at it in the past few years.

Systems will crash and burn!

You would be surprised at how fast plugins can be created when you have multiple people working on just 1 plugin, the thing that probably took the most time was building the storyline and having it cohesive with the game. The way the story was built was perfect and I enjoyed watching the full playthrough of the game, it felt like a new Harry Potter movie. The plugin they had is just a modified version of the animation graph to support a quest dialogue. The Logic Driver Pro actually uses a setup like this one.

@@HiddenWorldsLLC Actually there were more than a few completely custom plugins shown, very far off what Logic Driver Pro does, which is quite simple compared to this. Making the storyline surely took some time, but regardless this framework and custom plugins were definitely a huge part of their development and it can truly showcase how much work goes into AAA development compared to indie or lower budget projects, where the best of tools you would usually see is half as advanced and time saving.

@@stefanospanagiotidis7489 I was referencing the Quest Dialogue System they had, I did not say it had everything, I said it was similar, which they both use a Animation Blueprint style Quest Dialogue setup. But you can think what you want, It is impossible to defeat an ignorant man by argument. Get blocked.

@@HiddenWorldsLLC Lol. no one argued or had a debate with you my friend. I simply said it's still very different and their tools development took lots of time. You mentioned storyline took more, but no one compared what took more time. You seem quite aggresive and you're having an argument by yourself, relax.

Sales where good so hopefully there will be a sequel with all that on latest UE5, lumen, nanite, better gameplay, etc.

Think it would have improved performance?

I'm sure they'll look into it as UE5.4 is a new stage of the game development

lmao

no way they realese such things, and probably nobody would care where it comes from

This game was literally unplayable for lower end pc. My rtx 2060 somehow struggled at lowest settings😂.

@@dipannath9319 runs like a dream on my 4070... for about 3 minutes before it crashes. Issue has been on the forums since day one and they haven't bothered to fix it. Turning off ray tracing is the only solution I've found.

Same RT breaks the game

It's a preview of what Avalanche made to upgrade UE4 to make their game. It will not be accesable to the public. The devs show this to the game dev community for others to get inspired to make their own tools, to market the game studio to new devs and for Epic devs to see it as well and maybe implement them as improvements if they could not do it before

These are tools and plugins developed by Avalanche for HL, they're not publicly available. The ability to customize the engine for your development needs is however. There are several where he mentions they don't require engine source code edits or are using external software.

Not too bright are we

yep :(

It plays like a charm on my xbox… no hardware issue there!

Let's leave the sexualization of minors to the school district and Disney.

You better have to find a different way to say this, even If I agree this is not constructive at all. Express your mindings we all can read what you have to say and how you would make it better

she’s already a billionaire, not sure she would care much these days

Leaving aside your comment has absolutely no relation to the discussion of UE tech in the video, despicable how? What did she say exactly?

She makes about $0.017 per download of the game. Meanwhile there are LGBTQ developers who made the game getting paid a full salary.

@@randomancy so these so-called "LGBTQ developers", they're getting residuals/royalties as well? Or have they already been paid for their work? 🤔
