Daniel Vavra, the creator of the Kingdom Come trilogy and a co-founder of Warhorse Studios, has expressed strong criticism towards Unreal Engine, claiming it struggles with creating intricate and open worlds. He attributes the production challenges faced by The Witcher 4 to this limitation.
"Unreal Engine is fine if you're aiming to craft a game set in a desert with rocks, but it had significant issues rendering trees for a long time," Vavra stated. He further criticized the engine's Nanite technology, asserting it falls short in generating realistic vegetation.
A CD Projekt employee, reportedly in conversation with Vavra, mentioned that scenes which operated smoothly on the RED Engine were causing prolonged issues on Unreal. This has led to what Vavra describes as "production hell" for the game.
Vavra questions CD Projekt's decision to switch from their well-regarded RED Engine to Unreal, noting that most developers of open-world games prefer custom engines. He also pointed out that while Unreal Engine can deliver stunning visuals, it demands high-end computers priced at several thousand euros, which are beyond the reach of many gamers.
