Unreal Engine 4 or 5?
I've heard conflicting information about what version of unreal engine you're using EA WRC. Can you please confirm?
Wiki clearly says it's UE4.

the game may be newly released but development already started even before UE5 was out. besides, adopting quickly to new tech can have bad implications as well. unknown issues to the engine with no known fix will worry most devs. at the very least, UE4 is already mature in a way that it has been released for a few years now so technically speaking, UE4 has better support than UE5.
and before you mention porting over from UE4 to UE5, that will eat up development time since they also have to learn UE5.

@EmberagE: Nope, a game should use the appropriate tech. For having been in development for 4 years, apparently, UE4 was the right tech at that time.
Or would you rather end up with a new Duke Nukem Forever?
Why make a new game with an old engine? No wonder this looks so bad compared to sim titles using Unreal 5 like GTRevival.

Because UE5 wasn't available when this game was being made. How hard is that to grasp, really? UE5 was released April of 2022, and the first WRC game under their licence had to be released in 2023. A 5 year old would be able to work out that you can't build a game like this in 16 months, so why can't you? Also, GTRevival isn't even a game yet, it's barely more than a tech demo, and won't be ready for release until December of 2024 at the earliest.That would be a mistake, it's an amazing game. Far and away best racing game out there.
It is in fact UE5.....https://wccftech.com/ea-sports-wrc-tech-q-no-plans-to-add-lumen-or-nanite/
- @Aowba Wiki is also edited by legitimately any human who feels like it without having to verify jack.....I thought this was common knowledge....Wikipedia is an awful source.
- @pizzacake15 they didn't give a damn about my answer and your explanation. But they read other sites and don't understand some things..
Unreal Engine 5 and I got graphic like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvjXvQHXJhc
According to interview, Codemasters planning VR... "VR has always been a must for us, but this technology comes with implementation challenges. Adding VR is computationally expensive and requires a higher framerate. This is why we're taking time to focus on optimizing for VR to bring the best experience possible to this platform. We will have to make some sacrifices to achieve this, but we're working hard to minimize these."
So... "have to make some sacrifices"... 🙂 Are you kidding?!? Can possible be worse than that? ...
It's 2023... and it's PlayStation 5! Not PS4 PRO, PS4, PS3 or PS2... (as long as I remember, I loved playing WRC on PS2 - about 20 years ago!!! It run smooth and wasn't bad graphics at all!
