What usually takes months was done in 5 minutes. That’s mighty impressive!

rpvenom392d ago

Yeah super impressive. I wonder how this will work alongside that new engine that was introduced in cyberpunk where they can lipsync to different languages without having to even motion capture it at all.

Please let this be the end of dead faced NPCs lol... Awesome stuff though, here's hoping it gets utilized a lot in the near future!

ApocalypseShadow393d ago

Saw this a couple of days ago. It's really impressive what developers will be able to work with. The investment to improve the Unreal Engine was definitely worth it. Could really speed up development times for flat and VR games.

mkis007392d ago

That is really incredible! This really is the Speed Generation of the gaming industry.

Einhander1971392d ago

Looks amazing, but if it's so quick to achieve these results why aren't we seeing them. When Unreal engine 5 was unveiled with the PS5 showing nanite etc. I was really expecting this big leap, unfortunately nothing has been shown yet. Last gen is definitely holding it back PS4 and Xbone need to be put to rest now. Or maybe current gen isnt up to this.

kingnick392d ago

It's not last gen holding this tech back but the lack of install base for the PS5/Xbox Series and capable PCs.

Publishers don't want to miss out on huge part of the existing playerbase on lower spec hardware.

The PS5 has only recently just become readily available in many regions, we'll start to see more PS5/Xbox Series/PC only games.

For smaller budget and indie games we'll likely continue to see last gen ports for a few years.

Anunnaki392d ago

Because unreal 5 was only just introduced and is still getting new features like the one above. Big games still take years to produce so even if they can speed up this step that doesn't mean the results will come immediately.

"the capital group of PCF Group S.A."

If you're getting funding from a group that needs two different ways of Acronyming itself, things will not go the way you want them to.

If it was more online-only crap then good riddance.

jjb198112h ago

Outriders was crap. They slapped that game together and threw in a loot system to get players' attention. This game was absolutely jank and the always online nonsense made it stutter like crazy. People Can't Optimize.

thorstein10h ago

I liked Outriders but I could see where the artistic vision was compromised. The way the industry is now, it wouldn't surprise me that upper management would scrap something that didn't pull in money via gaas, mts, or other means.

$250? Do they not know all the other games that already exist or will be made in the future that can do similar?

SimpleDad16h ago(Edited 16h ago)

This is for the hardcore people that have 2500 h in the game. They basically play that one game the whole year.
Oh and those same people are mad as hell at this... what a way to reward fans of your game and annihilate newcomers.

Read a comment earlier calling it a "special monetization operation." I had to chuckle at that.
