I can't wait for their next game, whether it's Gears 6 or the rumoured new IP. Other than EPIC, TC are monsters with Unreal. Going to be awesome.

New tech test video from The Coalition in Unreal Engine 5
- Thread starter Theorry
- Start date
We are not even ready for what's to come... People have been fooling themselves by judging this gen on cross-gen games...
Coalition just need to make a 5hr, linear, eye bleeder of a campaign for their first non Gears project. Screw open world. Forget investing in systems and AI. Make it the shiniest thing I have ever seen.
They are the tech powerhouse of Xbox.

Now these are next-generation visuals I was hoping to see. What an incredible delight. Cross-generation has been holding us back long enough I say.
Hopefully they materialize sooner than later!

Turn 10 said in one of their Forza monthly (iirc in December) that they'll show the game next year. I also expect to see things like TLoU Remake or the next avatar game. The latter is exclusive to current gen and TLoU Remake is rumoured to be PS5 exclusive.
Xbox seems to be the first publisher completely done with cross gen already. So all in all I expect quite a few current gen experiences shown during the summer game fest. As you I am very excited about this year's showcases.
Edit: Well there is grounded coming later this year. I think currently the game is in early access and that's cross gen. I can't think of any other cross gen Xbox game still to be released though.
Technically we already have 11+ First Party Xbox titles:
-Redfall;
-Perfect Dark;
-inXline new AAA RPG;
-Everwild;
-State of Decay 3;
-Double Fine New IP;
-Hellblade 2;
-Project Mara;
-Gears Next;
-The Coalition Project 2;
-The Outer Worlds 2;
-(probably Avowed too).
all confirmed using UE5.
All on Game Pass from Day 1. 👀

Yep. Outside of a few genuine current gen games like Flight Sim, R&C, and maybe Demons Souls, we've yet to see what the current gen consoles can really do once they've been unshackled. When all of that performance and I/O has been really been taken advantage of, we'll all be getting face melted with the kind of visuals and technology that games will have.
Fucking crazy.
Imagine what they could do if they did 30fps instead of 60[/QUOTE]
Boy I cannot wait for them to show off their new IP. This level of detail at 60 FPS will be insane.
Last time someone attempted that it was called the Order 1886 and it flopped so hard that the studio was almost never heard from again outside of more niche spaces like VR. People aren't trying to pay $70 for a five hour tech demo. Especially not when the death of intense linearity didn't simultaneously lead to the death of eye melting visuals. Horizon's a testament to that.
I'm still waiting for an actual game to possess the fidelity shown in 343's SlipSpace demo from... E3 2017?
Nothing has come close, not even this tech trailer.

Hasnt Grubb said that they were working on a new smaller IP first to get familiar with UE5?
Wonder if that's the case because on a normal Gears schedule, Gears 6 would be due this year and I dont think that's happening.
Avatar is leaps ahead too. I'm struggling with that take.
Yes!!
really excited for this games to be showed!
I hope Microsoft can show more concrete things about fable, avowed, contraband, Starfield and hellblade 2!!
It can be really awesome!
It started with the Matrix demo. It feels like Unreal Engine 5 is the only thing that can be classified as next gen. Hard to believe it's running on the same hardware as other games released in the last few months.
Ready at Dawn did it with the order 1886, look where they are at now...
Horizon FW isn't even in the ballpark. Need to see more from HB2.
If Order 1866 had been a good game on top of the tech showcase, they'd be a Sony staple right now.
Thankfully, selling boxed/digital games isn't as key to MS as others. Just keep people subbed to GP. They can use one studio as a loss leading tech-advert for the wider platform easily enough.
Yes... Horizon doesn't even look that good. Awful shadows, pop-in, terrible light rays ...
A middleware taking so much space in the main publishing arms of Microsoft Gaming is a sign of the times considering its financial model.
That and/or is just a sign of how good it is compared to custom-made engines, especially on newer hardware.
They're already working on at least one brand new IP other than Gears.
Yeah, it's rumored as a smaller scope project than Gears and should be out before Gears 6.
It's not 'just' a middleware though, it's a defacto Industry-standard software now. Every student is taught in it, people work on portfolio work in it etc.
There are very few publishers that haven't got something made in UE. Even Sony has first-party games made in UE and almost everything is using quixel assets now.
It's not just an engine, it's a whole suite of tools so that artists, designers, programmers can interact with that engine and actually make stuff.
With a 3rd party engine, you need separate people to design the tools and interfaces for people to use. Imagine the cost of having just 3 people doing that on a large game and the speed at which they can realistically implement a request from the team
Has it been awhile since you've actually watched that video?
Horizon FW looks quite a bit better than that:
Granted it's gonna be insane to see what both teams do once they're unshackled from 2013 hardware.
I know it's a very tired joke but Guatemalan Quixel Rocks would be a great name for a band.
I'd argue even Ratchet - which is the best thing I've seen to date - Doesn't come close to what we'll see in the future.
Nothing has really, truly tapped into these new consoles yet.
The visuals will be amazing but it's honestly the gameplay that'll be the most exciting part.
It surely helps a lot for recuitements, outsourcing, porting and starting projects on solid grounds, especially with the complexity taken by game developement. A rationnal and wise choice for many studios. But I still find the anecdote amusing on the financial aspect considering the legacy of the company in the software world.
Good to see local outfit Cubic Motion in the credits at the end, there. I worked with them on a LEGO game and, because of our lead artist, I will forever think of them as Pubic Lotion.
