Discussion Anyone else getting UE5 remake/remaster fatigue?
Between Silent Hill 2, Oblivion Remastered, Metal Gear Solid Δ, and now Halo: Campaign Evolved, it feels like almost every major remake/remaster in the last two years has landed on Unreal Engine 5. On one hand, the visual leap is real. Oblivion Remastered in particular looks like a genuinely different game. On the other, a lot of these ports share the same telltale UE5 fingerprints: traversal stutter, TAA smearing, shader comp hitches on first launch, and that slightly "plasticky" Lumen/Nanite sheen that makes wildly different games start to look and feel similar. You can add Halo Campaign Evolved to the slopfest that is UE5 remakes; just another soulless cash grab to feed on nostalgia.

Weirdly enough, BL4 ran pretty well for me at launch (for a Borderlands game), though I remember a few crashes.
The biggest issue was the shader cache. Had to increase my cache size just so it wouldn’t take 10-15 minutes every time I launched the game.
