The graphics engine will still be ego engine, I don't know who invents this *...

That's what I guess (and hope), too.
But there are so many rumors and clues that I would not rule it out completety.
At first I was: "New engine, YEAH, new chances for a better game!"
Now I am: "PLEASE keep EGO and just fix those myriad of bugs and other annoyances in this game".
I think the idea came up because they switched to UE4 on WRC. But the reason was simply because EGO could not handle those huge stages in rally anymore.
That reason makes no sense in an F1 game with fixed tracks.
The only reason of using UE4 in F1 24 would be that they plan to switch to UE5 in the future and this is the first iteration. In this case it could make sense to first use UE4 and not go to UE5 directly as they currenlty have the knowledge at hand in form of the guys that code WRC.
Of course: only speculation ....
My guess: they keep EGO
My fear: they use UE4 and mess it up BIG TIME......
- @Categoria: Seichrotierer if you have ego and obviously you can't correct the errors because now they are all cheated folders you could do something very elegant make the game pay half as much as you update liveries and some * about physics let's remember that we still have the right right left left in the geometries etc. etc
- You can't imagine what it means to switch to a new graphics engine. It's not a job you can do in 9 months of development, which is why we will have the ego engine which will be even more advanced on the physical side too. It is a well-tested and lightweight graphics engine compared to Unreal Engine, because trust me, Unreal Engine is a very heavy and difficult graphics engine to fine-tune. For this reason, forget the jokes that are said around and wait for news from codemasters and above all news regarding the new physics, because physics can improve a lot even with old hardware. For the jaw-breaking graphics we will have to wait 1-2 years but at least let's wait until we see some gameplay to judge everything else
For goodness sake people, put your pitchforks down. If you're complaining about a lack of engine switch without any information being released and a lack of the promise of previous bugs being fixed in a 34 seconds trailer, your expectations are too high.
You can presume as much you want but it's all moot until solid features and details are released by EA/CM.
I understand it's your hard earned money being spent in the long term but currently, nobody is forcing you to pre-order, you are not contracted to buy this because you have purchased a previous version, you have spent no money yet. There is very little point claiming that the developers are making you out to be stupid. Maybe it's better not to expect anything to begin with, then your disappointment will be miniscule.
Better graphics is a long way from to top of my personal priority list for how the game could be improved...
