There were some shots of Aloy riding across the world that looked to be in-game graphics with a cinematic camera. Underwater stuff is probably RDR2 style, slightly higher quality models leading up to the player taking control and then it switches. That's obviously just a 100 percent guess.
No preference for realism but the amount of detail going into FS is pretty staggering. Scale, detail, weather that is not just a cinematic thing and much more. I am looking forward to crashing planes into the ground because I stopped to check out some stuff.
People thought that when Hellblade 2 was first shown but after the recent UE5 showing, seems more likely it was using that engine and it more than capable of getting to that level. I know NT said they are on UE5 but I get the feeling they have had access to its features for a while now.
If they're switching engines I'd be surprised if we see it again in July. UE5 doesn't officially release until next year.
Damn that looks excellent.Apparently this short clip was shared by the dev somewhere? Appears to be gameplay.
I'm quite sure that crab won't look quite as good during gameplay though.LOOK AT THIS MOTHERFUCKING CRAB
Oh, I didn't mean to derail the thread.
Stray looks incredible visually
If small teams can make something that looks this good this early on that's pretty promising
I hope they will improve the rain effect, the rain in the first one is so fake and jarring
They are upgrading to UE5. Going from the latest UE4 to UE5 isn't a huge leap and you can bet they were building their game with UE5 in mind.
Oh don't worry I didn't mention Ratchet for a reason. The trailer looked great but I felt like the gameplay section they showed looked not so hot. Those portals were cool as hell though.
Would they have known about the UE5 feature set when they started development?
What didn't look good about the R&C gameplay?
Ah yes, that game impressed me a lot as well. Indy games delivering these graphics at the beginning of the gen excite me a lot. I suspect this will be an area where we see some of the biggest advancements. Is this shot you mean?
Absolutely. Epic doesn't develop their engine in a vacuum. MS is probably their biggest AAA partner.
So fucking good. This next gen is going to produce some killer games from surprising small teams.
In the reveal they were explicit about their partnership with Sony for UE5. So no, not the biggest partner.
R&C looks insane. 4K HDR and ray-tracing. Look at all those effects. Gonna be good.
For what I'm hearing it will be the new technical benchmark for 2020/2021.Cant wait to see more of Halo Infinite. Last time we saw it was 12 months ago and looked amazing already
Feels good going into a gen with bright vibrant colors. We're are far from the days of the browns and unsaturated colors of Xbox 360/PS3. Thank god.
You cat to be kitten me! This looks amazing.Apparently this short clip was shared by the dev somewhere? Appears to be gameplay.
They have a partnership with Sony too but MS are developing multiple games using the engine and have been since the 360. Sony has Sony Bend who worked with it and who else?
It'll be used by literally everyone at the end of the day. Doesn't matter that much.
The HDR stuff was anticipated by EvilBoris here, while the Slipspace Engine possibly being the star for this initial next-gen years was largely discussed both here and other forums.
