A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

- Relevant posts only.
- No bigotry.

- This isn't a place to talk about the cons and (supposed) pros of AI for different use cases. This is /c/fuck_ai .
- Especially no AI advocacy.
- No AI-generated content. If you want to post examples of AI failing hillariously, there are other communities for that like !ArtificialIgnorance@lemmy.ca .
- Venting is part of the purpose of this community, but don't aim frustration or accusations at other users.

I am probably going to get downvoted, but Godot isn't a replacement for UE (yet). It can be used if one is a solo dev, or can be used to replace Unity.
I have used Godot and am using UE almost daily, I have also used some assets in the video. 70 FPS for those low poly assets on a tiny map, running on RTX 5080 isn't good, quite the opposite. I'll get much better result in UE using the exact same assets. The video doesn't talk much about UE.
Most assets are made with UE/Unity in mind. So they'll 'look good' if you just import into those engines. Every engine uses a different way of setting up lighting, refelctions, shadows. If I directly import a UE asset into Godot, it will look bad because I have to setup lighting for it.
Someone made a comparison of reflections in Godot and UE on discord. Reflections look wrong in Godot when you compare that to UE. Godot is getting better, but it's not quite there yet. In O3DE's (another foss game engine, but slop) discord, someone vibecoded its renderer Atom, into Godot, and even that slop had better reflections.
Also the reason people use UE is not just good lighting/flash, it's things like Blueprint, Gameplay Abilities system, accessible facial mocap, GASP, templates and other systems already implemented for you. All of these are not primary focus in a general use engine like Godot/Unity. I need to use a separate plugin for terrain scultping in Godot. I know devs (mostly designers) who use UE just because of the Blueprint visual scripting.
What I don't get is, there are other small open source engines that have much better 'defaults'. Maybe it's the Godot Foundation's way of having everything done differently. Or maybe they can't do a breaking change when they are supporting really old hardware too.
I don't think games made with Godot look bad, quite the oppsite if people look at devlogs or posts shared by devs on socials. It is really great for the PSX style games.
