Unreal Engine 5 Revealed! | Next-Gen Real-Time Demo Running on PlayStation 5

[R dott B]

Now I can only wonder how it'll shine on PC and XsX

 

[PlanetSmasher]

Well, there it is. All that hype over an engine. I'm not even mad, just somehow bored already.

 

[Masagiwa]

Gravity Rush 3

 

[Mariolee]

This looks wild.

But yeah lol at the hallway squeezing scene for loading.

 

[Deleted member 56752]

This is huge. Also means, since it's 2021 when we see games, that next gen will be a long one. I'm predicting 9 years

 

[Kuro]

holy shit

 

[Patitoloco]

HOLY SHIT

The part where she flies. Oh my fucking god.

 

[CloseTalker]

Literally the first "next-gen" thing I've seen so far. Can't wait to see next-gen consoles running this!

 

[Matush]

New Uncharted looks great

 

[Thekiddfran]

This looks excellent. Would play the shit out of that game also!

 

[Osaragi]

The ending of the demo. I got chills. There's the ssd at work.

 

[StrayDog]

holy shit.

 

[Doomguy Fieri]

New Splinter Cell in UE5 please.

 

[danmaku]

So even with UE5 we'll still be squeezing through tight spaces, got it.

 

[MillionIII]

Holy shit now this is next gen

 

[Dictator]

FF7R looks about as good as that,

Click to shrink...

FF7R is stone age lighting technology in comparison to the Elemental demo from 2013. Lumen in UE5 though is a kind of reset button, bringing back a similar technique to that seen in UE4 in the elemental.

 

[exodus]

These ultra compressed "4K" videos are a really poor way to show off next-gen. Why is the compression so bad? I don't think YouTube is the culprit here.

 

[Garrett 2U]

That looks pretty great, I was really impressed by the large scale traversal.

 

[Mcfrank]

That last sequence was pretty jaw dropping

 

[UnluckyKate]

New Uncharted looks great

Click to shrink...

The Uncharted Tomb Raider

 

[Wollan]

That's some incredible lighting and density tech.

 

[Host Samurai]

Beautiful. Remember the dark days of UE3?

 

[aisback]

Epic have always been godly when it comes to tech demos and stuff like this.

I'm so hyped

 

[Fifstar]

I'm team diminishing returns, but if games look like that I'll gladly eat crow. Looks amazing.

 

[Chasing]

Where is everyone who said this couldn't be UE5? Lots of crows to be had, lol.

 

[FF Seraphim]

That really sold me on the PS5 and Unreal 5. Holy shit that environmental detail.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

I don't see any mention of raytracing here?

Very nice lighting and details though. Animation was bad to mediocre but that probably doesn't have to do with engine quality.

The flying sequence gave me goosebump.

 

[JasoNsider]

This is mind blowing

 

[gabdeg]

Wow, it's already running on PS5. So see this is as the beginning of what we can do. Incredible.

 

[Nintendo]

Holy shit! This is even better than I thought we'd get next gen.

 

[Liquid Plejades]

Looks great.. Very impressive.

Is it safe to safe, with the amount of detail involved as these technologies progress, that game development is just going to take longer and longer? Cant imagine how much time they are going to need to make assets and whatnot for big open world games on next gen consoles.

 

[lt519]

Looks amazing. Glad we still have sliding between the crack loading screens though! Hopefully more crate pushing and teamwork ledge boosting!

 

[Chaystic]

I need that to be turned into a game.

OMG now I really need Uncharted 5.

 

[Deleted member 2834]

Looks great. Is this indicative of what the PS5 is capable of?

 

[Md Ray]

HOLY SMOKES! Those graphics!

 

[Patitoloco]

I swear that flying sequence is out of this world.

Realtime on a PS5. Holy shit.

 

[Iwao]

Looking unbelievable!!!!!

 

[Detective Pidgey]

When they said horizon near the end I truly thought for a few seconds that this was Horizon ZD2.

 

[K' Dash]

Can't wait to play games made with this engine in 4-5 years.

 

[ElNerdo]

The flying part was really cool. The power of the SSD streaming all of that on-the-fly?

 

[gofreak]

This was pretty wow.

The virtualised geometry made me think of just-in-time geometry delivery from storage. I mean with that asset quality, that data size, I'm guessing storage throughput counts for something. And maybe that's why PS5 was chosen to demo this? I wonder what the IO requirements are anyway.

edit - Tim Sweeney basically immediately honed in on storage... so I'm guessing this was indeed a key thing here.

 

[KOHIPEET]

FUUUCK MEEEEE

 

[EagleBen]

Amazing

 

[itchi]

A Summer of overhyping announcements. If it continues like this everyone is going to be fatigued before we get to the good stuff.

 

[Dizastah]

Dayum, this looks good.

 

[AaronMT]

Man I always want to play these totally not real game demos. Tomb Raider not Tomb Raider.

 

[arsene_P5]

The demo was amazing and a good way to show of what the new consoles can do. I wonder why Microsoft didn't show a tech demo.

 

[DjRalford]

I would say that reveal of real time PS5 was much better than MS's dismal attempt
