Blade Runner scene recreated in Unreal Engine 4, looking better than its CRYENGINE version

DSOGaming writes: "As I’m pretty sure you may know, I am a big fan of Blade Runner. After all, my desktop background – as seen in pretty much all PC Performance Analysis articles – is a Blade Runner recreation in CRYENGINE. However, it appears the time to replace has come as Quixel’s 3D Artist and Art Lead, Wiktor Ohman, has recreated a scene from this iconic film in Unreal Engine 4."

Great. Now I want a Blade Runner game. Impressive nevertheless, though.

porkChop2193d ago

Last I heard, Gearbox owned the rights. Randy Pitchford said they couldn't afford the budget to make the proper open world game the movies deserve, so they would never make it. Which makes me wonder why they bought the rights to begin with.

They also bought the rights to Heat and did nothing with it, so Kane and Lynch is the closest we'll ever get.

strayanalog2193d ago

Now I kind of hate knowing that. Maybe Gearbox will surprise us and put those rights to use in Gen 9? There's some great stories to tell in that universe. Otherwise, like you said, what's the point? Besides torturing fans.

As for Heat, yeah, I think you're right about Kane and Lynch. Gearbox now sounds like a mountain of unused rights.

CRYENGINE is nice and all but I don’t think it’s that great.

ChrisW2193d ago

There are a ton of videos showing off the differences of Cryengine vs others. Check them out...

Spoiler Alert: The other engines are better.

Does anyone remember this Unreal Engine demo back in 2011 called Samaritan?

Yeah, I remember watching it back then and thinking to myself this type of graphics in real-time was not possible any time soon. Today this could be done. Wow, the future is here now. We've come a long way.

Samaritan looked good but I think the Infiltrator one took it to another level.

If we can get real time games that look like this it'd be pretty insane

specialguest2193d ago

Yes I remember that one now. I think it could be done in terms of the polygon count and texture, but the lighting and other effects might take a hit.

letsa_go2193d ago

I remember that! It made me realize we needed a new console generation. haha

BlackIceJoe2193d ago

I know not the same thing, but Prey 2 was the closest we got to a cool Cyberpunk game. It is sad to think, because Bethesda got greedy that game never got to come out and Human Head Studios didn't get to grow as a studio too.

TheOneWhoIsTornApart2193d ago

Cyberpunk 2077 will probably satiate your thirst for Cyberpunk games. CDPR is supposed to show gameplay at E3 this year. So stoked.

Blade Runner Enhanced Edition Trailer Vs PC Gameplay

Playing on a PC with a 3070 RTX Skewed and Reviewed noted that the trailer seems to show better graphics than the reality of the actual game.

Blade Runner: Enhanced Edition on PC and Consoles Alongside Limited Run Games Physical Editions

Looking forward to this one. Nightdive Studios and Alcon Entertainment Digitally Re-Release Blade Runner: Enhanced Edition on PC and Consoles Alongside Limited Run Games Physical Editions Classic Adventure Game Based on Ridley Scott’s Science Fiction Epic Available Now on PC and Consoles.

Running the PS4 build on PS5. It looked better running on SummVM. Since Nightdive and Alcon never had access to the source assets, they had to retreat and up-res from a final build. It does run smoothly and the interface is nice (simple), but everything is a blurry anti aliasing mess. A lot of the game literally looks like screen-shots of a bad jpegs that have been blurred to remove any jaggies, and not in a good way. I can appreciate revisiting this title as it is one of my all time favorites, but this "Enhanced edition" Is more like a Grim Fandango's half-baked remaster.

Garethvk670d ago

I am playing the PC version so hopefully it holds up.

Jericho1337670d ago

Shame, thought they could’ve at least done something to sharpen up the character models. Also one of my all time favourites but will likely only play for nostalgia sake.

Garethvk670d ago

Ran it just now on my PC and I am not seeing any enhanced visuals or gameplay. Runs and looks like the original.

Garethvk670d ago

It looks horrible on PC. Even with a 3070 RTX and the latest drivers it looks like the original game. The settings seem right so now idea why it is not showing any enhancements.

MadLad670d ago

So what I'm getting from these comments is don't jump the gun and buy this one at the moment.

porkChop670d ago

Ffs. I've been waiting for this game to get a remake or remaster for so long.

CrimsonWing69670d ago (Edited 670d ago )

Already downloaded it and I love it!

Was a huge fan of point-and-click adventures back in the day and somehow missed out on this.

Garethvk670d ago

I am trying to get a gameplay vs trailer video uploaded now so you can see.
