Someone has recreated a scene from The Division in Unreal Engine 4 and it looks bloody great

Environment Artist, Maarten van der Ham, has shared some screenshots from his latest Unreal Engine 4 project that is based on Ubisoft’s open-world title, The Division. Maarten van der Ham came really close to what Ubisoft’s artists have achieved in the Snowdrop Engine, something that speaks volumes about the work of an individual in Unreal Engine 4.

Why don’t developers just use this? Also why do people recreate scenes? I’ve never understood the purpose

>Why don’t developers just use this?
Because this wouldn't run nearly as well as the original on all supported hardware. Most of these UE4 demos would only run decently on high-end PCs

>Also why do people recreate scenes?
I guess it's just a hobby. Personally I'd prefer creating something completely original but to each their own

LiamKreptic2653d ago

Makes sense. I guess it's a nice engine and all, but at the end of the day it wouldn't be handled well on consoles and such. Also I can see how this is a hobby...I thought it was a means to like get people on board with the engine.

Why are there so many adaptations instead of original films being made? Geeks just lile unoriginality.

Sad innit?

They look fantastic at times but that’s all it really is...a looksee. Screenshots. Nothing running in game.

"Someone has created [insert random video game scene] in Unreal Engine and the results [don't matter because it's just a tech demo by some bored guy and not an actual game that you will ever get to play]."

This. I think the Division is a beautiful game visually. Really am looking forward for The Division 2. Also, can't wait for the Xbox One X enhancement update for the Division.

And none of these shots were located outdoors. Lame.

I am in absolute agreement with the OP 👌

I hate when I see single player games and see people begging for multi-player. Jeez guys it don't need to be on every game. Latest one I seen was atomic heart.

Multiplayer or even co-op

If it was always a single player game then that's how it is

Inverno800d ago

It's a trend that never really went away. For me multiplayer in a primarily SP focused game was an excuse for DLC. Then there's the mentality gamers had that adding multiplayer makes a game worth the price, otherwise it should be half price for half a game. A way of thinking devs reassured when they started adding multiplayer to their sequels. We see the same with multiplayer focused games getting SP in their sequels.

Flawlessmic800d ago

Tbh multilayer now is a way to add live service and mtx elements, very rarely does it come of well.

What single players game used to be in a lot of cases now require 3 other people for keeping to really enjoy it and I hate having to rely on others to get the maximum from a game.

Sp should be sp, if devs want to add a separate multi mode then that's fine with me, the legends addition to ghost of tshushima was fricking sick but totally separate to the main game. Sick of co op too.

Hofstaderman800d ago

I remember when certain single player games had them as included optional modes that was played on the couch. Had brilliant times with Syphon Filter and Golden Eye. Me and my bro used to used to fight over who would play as Gabe even though it was technically just a skin. Good times.

I didn't notice your comment before I added mine.
But good times indeed
