It's so refreshing to see game developers just having fun in a silly contest, love these videos.

"When you die, you fall and create 20,000 errors" lol

I had so much fun rushing a game in 1 hour haha. Great job to Bram and Stephen for attempting to beat me 😜

I expected Unreal dev to do more mechanics since you don't build everything from scratch. I'm surprised that with Godot, the guy not only made the basic FPS mechanics but also a modern warfare like training level. The look and feel are also great. I know it depends on the dev, but damn that's a huge difference between the devs

Godot game is the winner for me, nice aesthetic, has gameplay mechanics, so nice at all. good job all of you!

Had a blast! 1 hour is so little time 😭😭 Great job Gorka and Stephen!

I’m actually proud how far all three of us got in one hour! Not too shabby!

The Godot one is the most fleshed out _game_ out of the three.

They should have 1 developer make the same game on all the 3 engines. This was more of a developer competition than an engine competition

It's hard to give a winner as they all did surprisingly well in only 1 hour. I guess Unreal looked the best and had some enemy AI, but unity and godot were pretty good too.

Godot, because that Game looks good honestly!

honestly, I believe that godot being better than unity has 100% to do with the knowledge of the person creating the game..

This was really fun to watch and learn from. Great banter too. Hats off to how much you all did in just an hour!

The "excuse" that he said saying that he mainly works in 2d, and does not know how to use the 3d editor actually does make this look way more impressive!

I had massive respect for you when I watched your Unity course years ago. I just realised you have a UKposts channel. Lets go!

It would be cool to do a round 2, give them another hour (or slightly more) to take the projects they've come up with here and see how much farther they can take them.

Honestly for just 1 hour all 3 of them did awesome.

So cool! The video can really show the diference between how each engine delivers... Very interesting.

Great job to all 3!

I love thse, thanks for making this sort of video i would love to see a lot more of them :)

Thanks for this video, was been really usefull for me!

The godot game was the best concept, Unity (apparently) had the best asset store (which is important), but it looked like the best experience for a developer was had with Unreal. If I were making a game, based on this video alone, I’d choose to work with Unreal.

I loved the video! Thank you! I can't choose a winner.

it's so amazing to relax and watch the top 3 engines compete

I'm currently learning Godot 2D and haven't tried 3D yet, honestly didn't know what to expect but seeing that come together so quickly with a lot of polish was really impressive!

They all looked good for a hour of time put in. Clearly Unreal seems the best suited for quickly prototyping a FPS, but I liked how Godot's came out as well.

This was fascinating to watch as it showed the different flavors of similar games being made with different tools.

I feel all of them resulted in something cool from a different angle. Godot had a neat style and game loop, Unreal had enemy AI with animations and health, and Unity had a unique game environment with interesting effects and pp. Outside of engines, I was most impressed with the Unity guy (Stephen) since he's a 2D guy and was by far the most outside of his comfort zone. Great job to all these guys, I say this is a win for everyone involved.

Wow, didn't expect such fun challenges are made. Really really cool. Thanks guys!

can u do more ? like in each time having a different topic and try to make something in 1 hour! those videos are really fun to watch :

Althought it's impressive how quickly he could implement functional enemies in Unreal, I think the Godot version feels more like an actual game to me. It has a clear objective, feedback and level progression. Also the floating gun just looks better than the wonky half animated arms from the other versions Of course this is just my opinion from watching (not even playing). Objectively all 3 devs did a great job with what they got

loved all 4...good job everyone. i might start learning unreal engine to introduce miself into indie game dev hobby.

The unity guy's bone dry "that's open source for you..." had me rofling xD. Loved the banter and energy in the "room". Will come back for more!

The most impressive thing is that UE didn't crash for the whole hour and 5 minutes

The Godot game is the best, but I think the godot user was the most experienced 😛

Nice video, good job to all of them. The Unreal is best-looking and smoother, but the Godot version is pretty good, considering the time.

all 3 were good but i like the one in godot the most very simplistic and fun

That was a fun video, I almost wish you had given them all 2 hours instead of 65 minutes. ;) But it was a speed build. All 3 of the results had unique strengths and weaknesses, and I think it's quite a statement that the developers were able to make it so close. It is a testament to all 3 platforms, and all 3 developers. Well done! In terms of winner, it's REALLY close. Very subjective. So I think I need to give it to Unreal for the high-quality assets, animations and enemy AI (which presumably was all asset store), then Unity, then Godot. But I would very much score them at 51, 50 and 49, respectively. So it's really close and the difference is subjective.

if all contestants had the same assets at the start would be better. like unreal by far has the most provided content compared to the others who made their own assets in the hour. would be interesting to see if all of them had an empty scene and an identical folder of assets to use who did best

Hey! I am doing your game dev course on unity!! I can’t believe I see you here too. What a coincidence you appear on my feed!

The thing is, Unreal is an FPS deathmatch engine. It has health and damage and such things built in, even if you don’t want it. The other two are more generalized. If the challenge was to make a top down grand strategy game, the person using Unreal wouldn’t have as many advantages.

Winning points IMO: UE: Graphics , VFX and Characters details Godot: Nice environment and Game mechanics with Scoring system Unity: Got the job done with a nice stylized pixelated characters and trees TBH I was expecting UE to be better because of it's presets and blueprint and faster workflow to gain minimum requirements in least time, BUT the Godot really surprised me! I was following Godot videos since unity incident and this Open source game engine made pretty good FPS with nice mechanics!

lol. Fun video guys. Unreal was quick to get the core mechanic, but I found the Godot and Unity final project more appealing.

it's crazy how STEREOTYPICAL each game is of the engine... could 100% tell what was used in all 3

This is a brilliant video!

I think the guy working on Godot made something that most resembled a game. It would have been very interesting to see them all make the same game as that might have been able to showcase the abilities of the tools rather than the creativity and ability of the developer. Seemed like a lot of fun.

I think all engines have their own unique style to bring to the table, but I wouldn't mind creating a full game in Unreal.

I'm surprised at how crazy fast this went.

this just earned a new sub

Very cool! I am surprised that you can prototype so quickly in Godot. Unreal looked the best, as expected. Unity was naturally the slowest, because its setup time is so long lol. GG guys. Cheers 🍻

Unfair fight >:(. As much as I despise Unity now. I learned to put up a fps prototype in Unity in less time thanks to your courses. If he is doing mainly 2D, no wonder the outcome. OFC this was all in good faith and purpose of entertainment. Good job, like to see more of these. (already bought your Godot 4 courses)

I feel like allowing them to use any means, including asset stores and their own older codes, makes this more of a competition of "Who is more prepared for this atm" then anything else

That was nice. I would like to see a six hour contest.

it is hard to do a engine type competition when in reality it all comes down to the devs level of execution of over all design and mechanics within the time frame given

Im surprised people are ignoring the Unity project. Yes the Unreal project isnt so messy but its clearly not as graphically advanced. People see polygons and immediately think it looks bad. Look at the Unreal project alittle closer its shiny but i wouldnt call it clean. Terrible animation rigging and particle fx imo. Oh and he didnt "make" everything in that hour. He used the default assets inside of Unreal. Pretty much the same as downloading assets

"and the other half is gonna be defending unity" LOOOOL

To be honest, the Godot guy did the most creative job imo. The other looks like FPS.jpg. Godot guy put some personality in the game. Yes, it's all in the "reload" animation. Weapon master guy with a nerf gun shooting places and doing sick reloading. Dunno, I see more potential in that. Also, the character looks like amogus.

Without having tried them myself, hard to tell. I like the nodes approach in unreal.

Comming from a Unity background but been learning Unreal, it's stuff like this that just shows how great Unreal is. Sorry Unity. Not played with Godot, looks promising but very early days compared to the Unreal and Unity. Although I'm mostly use to C# I do like Unreal's Blueprint for knocking stuff out. Just not great when it comes to source control.

The winner for you is that you can master it "fully", have fun with it, and get the closest to your dreams. I respect all the guys for working under pressure and time limits, without a chance to read the manual, look at Google, videos, or AI help. Or just ask a fellow game developer about it. And first, they even had to figure out what to create...

Unreal Engine for the more modern FPS, it's setup out of the box by default for creating FPS games, but GODOT definitely did something interesting and it really reminded me of some classic playstyles from back in the day. With any of these engines if you start out with a good Game Template and don't spend too much time re-inventing the wheel each time for each piece to do the basics then you're golden. After all, the game engine is supposed to handle the difficult boilerplate things in the background to make the developers life easier not more difficult, so a well developed engine will be simple and straight forward while still offering that perfect balance of flexibility to get results. And in the end it really comes down to the developers knowledge, experience, and ability to work with and assemble things in the engine they are most comfortable and experienced with. Depending on the project, for classic retro or arcade style games from the early days up to around 2010ish, I find going from Unreal to GODOT is pretty fun and back.

Watching this makes me want to get into game dev again

I subscribed to all 3 of them, I'd like to see what kind of projects they'd be able to create.

I believe that had the unity guy had as much experience as the godot guy in 3d he would have crushed this challenge having the asset store at his back, the godot guy had alot of his own git library to call upon making it much easier to produce functioning game logic, even with all the unity assets you still need that core experience to connect it seamlessly... the unreal guy started strong out the gates bht to get anything more polished would have taken much longer to perform... given enough time would probably outshine all engines... it just shows how each tool has its own strengths and how the devs skillset in each plays as big a role

cant say for unreal and godot as i have never used them, but unity if you are experienced with making fps games in unity i feel you could do better within a hour, also using someone who doesn't do 3d puts them at a big disadvantage when against someone who has, but by these 3 results i like the godot end result the best.

Unreal 100% 🎉 and Gorka so focused haha so cool you all!

I think a combination of all three of those would be a good game! 3 different approaches: was that due to the platform or how the devs like to work? I wonder what these 3 could create working together in an hour (or maybe give them 2!)? To me this vid showed that all three of these engines have strong positives. I am a web developer, but with roots years ago in Java and C, and I just bought a course on Unreal...I'm going to have a look at Unity and Godot after seeing this vid; probably I will only do this as a hobby, but the game industry does seem like a lively and thriving place these days, so a change in direction might be fun!

Loved the challenge, every game were great. But I likes Bram's fun, mechanics and gameplay.

gorka: "cheating..." me: rollin

Assets and code from other projects allowed? UE guy should've just used the Lyra Starter project from the asset store.

Gorkaaaa!! One of my favorite Game Devs

this video has proven that what engine you use does not matter if you give it to bram he will miss the target jk all of them are awesome and the fact that there are multiple competing over who's the best will create some good product and tools for everyone and the choice is ours

Good work everyone for 1 hour, you knocked it out of the park! As much as i'm bias for unity, I have to admit, Bram's was the clear winner to me! 👀

That was so fun and amazing! Hats off to all the contestants and great work showcasing what the 3 engines can do in an hour. I do have to say that UE5 is the clear winner and Gorka is a wizard in UE5. Now lets see a 2D platformer game competition hahaha!

Unreal had a lot of assets already in with their fps blueprint and the blueprint system makes it easy to code new things. Unity seemed to struggle. But has a lot of potential but Godot is the most flushed out. This could be more of a user based skill thing then engine thing though. So a real test would be using someone who knows extensively all 3 engines and gets an hour in each engine to make the same game.

Wow amazing work for 1:05.

I'm Unreal fan, but.....I could see only 1 game - Godot version. Other 2 just tech demo, without gameplay features.

Unreal was the winner if making an FPS in 1 hour is the criteria for who wins or not, Godot failed to make an FPS (you can't even reload) but in terms of just making a game it was the winner as it was the only engine that had a fully ready game level although it turned out different from what was intended, Unity could be the winner but without the marketplace to download assets it lacked the most out of the box ready features.

dodot one looks fun

Amazing developers! I guess Unreal is best suited for these kind of games, but Godot and Unity were awesome too. And in one hour!! 😲

I mean Unreal looks great but I was really surprised about Godot. That game looked fun and I kinda want to play it. Unity needed more polishing but I believe that's due to the dev not being used to 3d, rather than the engine.

i'd say the godot dev won this one, made actual fps mechanics and a level than just bells and whistles with particles

If Dani was here, he would make a game in less than an hour

Amazing ❤

Can y'all do this again with the same people except make a 2D game? Unreal has a lot of prebuilt things for FPS. It has an unfair advantage out of the box.

Graphics wise Unreal won, Although functionality and gameplay wise I'd say godot won, Unity I'd say just lost xD

Timestamps: 00:00 What's the battle? 00:09 Start your engines! 00:48 Sheesh, Unreal is nearly finished 01:01 Battle rules - use of assets 01:29 It's not cheating if its free right? 02:05 Does Unity's have an advantage? 02:30 Which language ya using? 03:02 Making serious progress 04:38 Learning Godot 3D 04:53 Guns and arms 05:27 Don't get distracted by the shiny 06:10 Is it sloppy or smart? 06:42 Unreal Stealth course 07:00 OMG, finally some shooting 08:57 Umm, you're running out of time 10:11 Sympathy time bonus 10:45 The big reveals! 12:19 Errr.... so who won?

love the first, definitely!

Hard to say because Godot dev import a lot of already done scripts, to it's like 2 or 3 hours of work.

I don't get this video. You have one engine where the guy imported everything from his repo (Godot) vs 2 engines that have starter templates for this kind of game that could have produced much better results... But the answer to your question is Unreal, every engines have pro and cons, but the answer to the question "What engine is the best to make a fps style game" is Unreal.

Wow, I'm so impressed with Godot. Yes, it's not as pretty as unreal, but the game is more complete.

When you'll include Bevy in your game engines list?

The unity guy is so determined 😂😂

If I have to choose the project without taking in count the engine used, I would go with the Godot one. But to properly answer the question : I don't think any of the engine looks more appropriate for the FPS type in general. Basically : - UE4 if I want one that looks great but a bit generic in the gameplay - Godot if I have something more original in mind - Unity if I want one made quick based on the asset store flip

None is better for the task assigned. It depends on what you want out of it. If you want cinematic graphics, then you really want unreal, if you want to be able to build a really good game within a few days. Godot is your answer. I won’t touch Unity anymore. It’s not trustworthy anymore and after playing with both Unreal and Godot, I really can’t say Unity has any strengths other than that’s what I was used to.

I think that Gorka must be the winner

the jazz hands AI enemy looks like the MISTEEEEEEEEEER BEEEEEEEEEAST meme lmao

from a players perspective I think the one on unreal has the most potential

you know unreal has a ONline FPS/TPS full flegded Shoting game available as their free sample and i really dunno why gorka just didnt imported stuff from it and shown

My picks for this challenge: 1. Godot 2. Unreal 3. Unity Good job to all!
