These Unreal Engine 4 Environmental Shots are Absolutley Stunning

OnlySP: I don’t use the word “stunning” very often for the sake of sounding like a hit bait title, but man, these shots literally define the word stunning.

Wow, I wonder what kind of monster rig is needed to run that? Although, I've heard that scanning technology doesn't really create that big of hardware issues...don't know enough about it to be sure, but still...wow.

Any mid-level DX11 card could handle this scene without breaking a sweat.

It's not overly difficult for a GPU to render an outdoor scene like this.

The Vanishing of Ethan Carter uses the same photogrammetry techniques and it is looking amazing. Check out this site: http://www.theastronauts.co...

I think it is a very exciting technology and will likely lead to some of the most realistic game worlds every created.

I really want to see Get Even in action now, hope they show a gameplay trailer soon. Same for The Vanishing of Ethan Carter.

You'd be surprised, doesn't take much to run that. Unreal Engine scales very well. Unlike CryEngine, you dont need a decent rig to yield good results. Unreal technology is very efficient, although the ancient lightmass technology could thrown out.

Those rock formations are static meshes, and the background is a simple terrain. Nothing fancy going on here.

What's so amazing about any of that? Nothing we haven't seen before.

Cryptcuzz4049d ago

Yeah I thought the same when I saw the screenshots (textures seems low-res and flat
I am sure Unreal Engine can do much better than that.

Fans??? This is done by one person

WoodsRatesGames1500d ago

Someone else was commissioned to do the music and another person modelled the batmobile. Links to all involved are included in the article.

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?

masterfox1521d ago

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

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

Tacoboto1521d 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.

Magog1521d ago

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

Tacoboto1521d ago

Embarrassing indictment? You know nothing of software development then.

Spenok1521d ago (Edited 1521d 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.

AuraAbjure1521d 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.

Magog1521d ago

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

N4G really needs a delete comment button lol

Einhander19711519d 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.
