Actually, we don’t have to update probes at every frame in most cases. And I never think it look as good as baked GI, but it looks DECENT overall.

PS: It’s NOT ME want it so much, I just think it’s a popular feature which many mainstream next-gen engines have. Also, it’s relatively easy to implement than other GI techniques. It would add more flexiability to UE4, users would have more options when deciding to choose final lighting solution. It brings more efficient iteration to devlopment cycle, since no baking time is required. If the result doesn’t look good enough(In fact, many next-gen AAA titles already used it as final lighting), users can switch to static GI lighting solution whenever necessary.

Alright, fair enough. In point of fact not a lot of engines use it, Cryengine is the only major one I can think of other than the Assassin’s Creed series, and Crytek is replacing it for something else insofar as I know. But UE4 is already a monstrous amalgamation of different flips and switches and etc. so it’s not like 1 more is going to be out of style necessarily.

Besides, as ugly as I’ve found it to look it’s not like it’s that much worse that many other GI methods. By law it seems it’s going to look ugly in a lot of ways, even if you pre-render all of it.
