Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake Performance Raises Doubts About Unreal Engine 5 Yet Again

Expert Verified By

It Seems Unreal Engine 5 Isn't All That It Was Made Up To Be!

Story Highlight
  • Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake uses Unreal Engine 5 for stunning visuals, but performance leaves a lot to be desired.
  • The engine powering this game has come under fire, with fans criticizing the shortcomings of games relying on the technology.
  • Many even believe that Unreal Engine 5 has completely failed to live up to past promises.

Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake has received a lot of praise over the last week, but one major problem has sullied the excitement for this title. The remake runs quite poorly on consoles in performance mode, with the PS5 Pro often running worse than the base console.

Although this outcome has raised eyebrows over Konami and Virtuos’ optimization efforts, many have even begun to discuss Unreal Engine 5 again, stating that the constant optimization woes in titles using this engine are becoming too hard to ignore.

Why it matters: During its initial announcement, Unreal Engine 5 was pitched as the future of AAA gameplay and visuals, but it has not lived up to those promises yet.

Over on Twitter, Synth Potato pointed to a slew of recent games that depicted one major problem or another. A common theme among these titles was the use of Unreal Engine 5, and this is not the first time this engine has been criticized.

Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake marks one more problematic release to add to the list, and even though the game presents a strong visual outlook, the graphics do not justify the low resolutions and poor frame rates.

Others like Mafia: The Old Country and Oblivion Remastered showcased similar problems, with stuttering being common across all titles. Some even went as far as dubbing Unreal Engine 5 a complete failure.

On the other hand, others pointed out that the engine itself should not be blamed for the developers’ shortcomings. They highlighted recent releases like The Finals and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 as examples of Unreal Engine 5 games performing well on all platforms.

With games like The Witcher 4 also expected to use the same technology, it will be interesting to see what the future holds for Unreal Engine 5. However, fans are far from impressed with what the engine has delivered during the current generation so far.
