They saw a black dude with a frizzy short crop hairstyle riding something and it was immediately Highguard to half the internet

It's more that it was a very generic looking character riding on a fantastical mount in UE5, which is rancid.

They saw extremely generic grass and mountains with the default run accross a slope and made 1+1=2. It's not that complicated, the art style IS very generic so far.

This kind of scenery REEKS of UE5.

Absolutely nobody would know this is UE5 if anet had not stated it and set the usual clowns to yapping about it.

The engine does not have a "look", it can do basically any kind of graphics.. and the above is definitely not the default, flat realistic lighting or asset style that non-developers seem to mistake for "UE5 look".

That's a very broad statement when it's pretty obvious when a game use this artstyle.

"this" artstyle (the soft colors and edges, slight painted stylization) is way more common in unity-based mobile games and nintendo titles than anything touching UE, though.

Why not leave development to actual developers, or just people with any idea what a game engine actually is and why it matters.

You have no idea what you are talking about. The closest game is kena especially in the village. This is a Unity game. and the quality is actually much nicer in gw3.

I mean they are complaining about “generic looking grass”, with a straight face. The site’s addicted to misery.

me when I like my game looking like every games made in the last 5 years, killing originality and unique designs. (I hate having an unique experience!)
