I had been with Unity for at least 3 yrs,
recently just tried cry engine and unreal engine out of curiosity.
this made me realize how bad unity is in all aspects.
even unity 5.x cant match graphics quality of cry engine 3.x which is at least 3 yrs older.
i have all the proof while saying this.
Iam even wondering if unity is a game engine at all, coz we are forced to build everything from thr grass root level, while everything is offered drag and drop in other engines.
physics, graphics, performance ???
it was hopeful to see the unity 5 blacksmith video, thinking that at least unity 5 comes up with little bit improvements,
but what happened?.. it seems that even the assets used in this project released by unity in asset store is buggy.
just a few hours with cry engine, no coding no scripting , only drag and drop and this is what I got(cry version 3.5 - released 3 years ago).
just google “underwater effects in unity3d”, and see in how pathetic situation unity is putting the developers into…
back in 1987, we would have been developing everything our self, from the foundation level.
but times have changed, and now you can just jump in to water to have this, rather than scripting, coding, debuging…
!
this makes us wonder if unity is a game engine at all…
now the question is,
CAN WE EXPECT ANY IMPROVEMENT IN NEAR FUTURE? PLEASE SHARE YOUR OPINION,
AND IF THE MODERATORS ARE GONNA CLOSE THIS QUESTION, PLEASE DO IT BUT BEFORE THAT, FOR A MOMENT PLEASE THINK, WHAT MAKES US ASK SUCH QUESTIONS,
WE DO SPEND SEVERAL SLEEPLESS NIGHTS WITH UNITY, WE TOOK TIME, LEARNED, RESEARCH, DISCUSSED,… BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, THIS IS ALL WHAT WE GETS…
look at that water, which was exclusive for pro users till unity 5!,
compare it with ue4 or cry engine built in water shader!..

CAN WE EXPECT ANY IMPROVEMENT IN NEAR FUTURE ? - this is the question, it is a direct question towards some one at unity, and a question to gather opinion from rest of us.

May be, and that is what came to my mind at the first.I even thought of making a youtube video to compare the engine, but there already exists several such things already , and I dint want to just spread a bad word about an engine we loved since years like that, so I just ended up with a direct question like this.

I am not asking for a drag and drop engine, but just saying its terrible to code the basic functionalities each time as required in the project.It is offered out of the box in all modern engines other than unity.Again, making the point clear, - “we loves to code, to achieve something brilliant, but prefer not to spend hours and hours to achieve simple things, which (All) other engine offers built in”.
-
Please close, please do it and that is the best way to cover your face, imo.
we are not striving for everything on plate, just requesting to open up the eyes,If you claim yourself an engine, it is bad to let users develop basic everything from grass root level.times have changed.INSTEAD , Let us code for something advanced to make crowd say your engine is fit for AAA game development.
Just one video(3 years old but sufficiently better to match the Quality of latest unity Adam’s demo or an cute 3d arena things).
