@lina@eientei.org @mint@ryona.agency I also think if anything, the Fortnite look is the "UE5" look in the same way the UE3 had a very distinct look with lighting with excessively blown out bloom and a specific texture look.
3 UE3 games, all have the same lighting and texture look.

@sendpaws@mitra.pawslut.party @lina@eientei.org @mint@ryona.agency Every generation of UE seemed to have a calling card. UE1 was lighting and textures interacting in a very specific way (UT99 and Deus Ex look almost identical). It was UE2 that introduced heavy bloom (see killing floor as the most notable example). UE3's calling card was SSAO interacting with lighting which is the effect you're seeing. No idea what UE4 and UE5 was, sorta lost track.
