I wonder if people actually care about what this demo could mean, or if its just feeding a superiority complex.

But unreal demo is pretty swag, its kinda like Cryengine, but based around geometry and particles apposed to lighting and shaders. And honestly, this has never been done before, Particles have always been killer on performance, before you had to cut out particle physics, collision, lighting and a bunch of other cool stuff just deal with the fact that CPU technology just isnt up to the task of particles.
Now we can have particles on scale with things like this, without breaking the bank.

Also, no more low poly characters with normal maps, I cant tell you how excited i am for this, For a trained eye, this is a major boner kill for modern games, heck even the console Goliaths like uncharted and gears of war you can practically count the polygons in the characters.

Anyway, thats the main focuses of unreal engine 4, and i hope you guys can chill out, PC gamers dont give a crap if console gaming is more cost effective than PC and Console gamers generally dont care if PC is a more expensive premium experience as far as graphics.
The only person you are convincing is yourself, and no one cars about that either.

Am I crazy or is there an Unreal Engine 5 now? Why promote old tech?

I really dont understand either? isnt the Unreal Engine 5 already available for studios? arent they already working with it?

masterfox1096d ago

UE5 Is for PS5 only, deal with it! :D

***runs away from this thread with pride!**

Tacoboto1096d ago

UE5 is not released yet and developers for years will still make UE4 games because that's where their tools and customizations are.

Mortal Kombat still uses UE3. Mass Effect Legendary Edition is also still UE3.

Magog1096d ago

That more of an embarrassing indictment of those devs than a reason to promote old software.

Tacoboto1096d ago

Embarrassing indictment? You know nothing of software development then.

Spenok1096d ago (Edited 1096d ago )

Because a ridiculous amount of the industry still uses 4, and because no, 5 is not out yet. They said it would launch later this year.

AuraAbjure1096d ago

Companies still use Unreal Engine 3.

Really impressive tech but I don’t even notice all of these benefits in real life, never mind being chased by zombies in a video game. Rather devote resources to resolution and frame rate.

Magog1096d ago

If you suddenly stopped casting reflections in a mirror I think you would notice.

N4G really needs a delete comment button lol

Einhander19711094d ago

Yes after seeing the Unreal 5 ps5 reveal, I thought that's where we were heading. But saying that I have read various articles that suggest its easy for developers to still work on Unreal 4 and carry everything over to Unreal 5 when needed, we shall see.
