That looks incredible, can we expect this quality in games With this upgrade or Unreal 5?

Bobertt1627d ago

Depends on the scope of the game, i would think if it is in a game it will be as a cutscene.

I want to say no, but if you look at the Unreal 4 tech demos for last gen some of the late gen triple AAA games ended up looking as good and sometimes better. At the time I didn’t believe gen 8 consoles would ever be able to live up to the Unreal 4 tech demos, but in the end they did. It seems unlikely as this demo looks amazing, but if history repeats itself, we are in for a treat.

Zhipp1627d ago

It looks amazing. It's nuts to me that real-time photorealistic environments are now possible. The animation work is crazy impressive, too.

VariantAEC1626d ago

The rendering was still done offline.
You can see that in their presentation at Unreal Engine on YouTube.

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?

masterfox1504d ago

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

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

Tacoboto1504d 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.

Magog1504d ago

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

Tacoboto1504d ago

Embarrassing indictment? You know nothing of software development then.

Spenok1504d ago (Edited 1504d 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.

AuraAbjure1504d 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.

Magog1504d ago

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

Edit: i misread this.
N4G really needs a delete comment button lol

Einhander19711502d 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.
