Wow, that looks so much better than the unity junk.

EvertonFC818d ago (Edited 818d ago )

Great watch yet unfortunately NO 3rd party Dev using unreal will ever put the real effort in to get the same look when playing a game.

Zhipp818d ago

The whole point of metahuman is that it makes it much less time consuming and difficult to achieve this level of fidelity. I do doubt that it's possible for current systems to handle characters this detailed while rendering a fully interactive world, though. For a highly on-rails game like Hellblade it makes sense, but I think we'll mainly only see models this nice in cutscenes -- if at all -- for other UE5 titles.

Magog818d ago

It's all scalable. Not to mention the characters in Forbidden West already look better than this although they chose a more stylized look over complete realism.

isarai818d ago

It literally runs on the UE5 matrix tech demo on "current systems"...

Magog818d ago

What are you talking about? This is just some guy messing around with the presets. Every Unreal 5 dev could use this easily. Even a child could do it. That's the entire point of it.

Imagine what Naughty Gods will do with the ice team.😲😲

Aloymetal818d ago

Whatever they have in stock for us I'm pretty sure is going to be amazing.

WheatBread818d ago

This looks a lot easier to use than Daz3d.

Imagine the porn they will be able to create on pc.

I’ve been waiting to be amazed since they launched it. Some beautiful games out there, but not mind blowing. Hopefully this year is better.

FinalBoss90d ago

It's still early days, most of the games that have already been released under UE5 were started under UE4.
The devs are going to get to grips with this new engine, and come up with some great games.

rlow190d ago (Edited 90d ago )

I know but it’s been a minute….lol

I just remember those Gears of War, Halo, God of War holy crap moments.

My guess, the engine takes longer to optimize and more manpower to do it right.

EvertonFC90d ago

Nxt gen, it's always the same until you actually get the OMFG new engine games. Might see some in 2026 though.

FinalBoss90d ago

In fact, one of the biggest advances in UE5 is the 'ease' with which content can be created.
Take a look at this video from 3:50 onwards, showing how the engine automatically generates the scenery.

UE4 wasn't capable of that at this level. And the devs had to resort to all sorts of tricks to make quality procedural.
UE 5 greatly simplifies all that. In my opinion, games will take a different turn in the coming years.

rlow190d ago

Thanks for the link, will check it
Out.

PRIMORDUS90d ago

We need Unreal Tournament 5. If Epic won't touch it I would rather pay fans money to make it. Lately I'm having more respect for fans of games that mod and or do total conversions than the actual devs.

FinalBoss90d ago

Oh boy, I forgot about Unreal Tournament! Such a good idea!

Yes there is many indie solo dev that works on UE5 'remake' which are doing a great job.
Like OverJump Rally - remaster of Sega Rally 2.
And Shenmue, that is entirely remade by a dev in UE5 as well.
