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

Right...
We aren't using tight squeezes to hide loading anymore. Totally using them because they're more cinematic
When a third party game company show cases the power of next gen much better than a company that's making a next gen console .... oh hi microsoft.
Looks fine, obviously I don't believe in any Unreal Engine 'demo', but if it's half as good as that, that would be a good upgrade.
So, is it fair to say that whilst being a tech demo it's visually more impressive than anything we saw from MS?
It's still no gauge for comparing the power of both machines, but it does get me excited for the possibilities of the next gen.

Yep. Some people were sceptical about what an SSD would realistically bring to games, but it's precisely that epic sequence: it allows for the streaming of data in fast enough to race or fly through highly detailed environments without the need to obfuscate most of the surroundings (so that you can avoid having to load them in). It's just amazing.
Great to see mesh shaders already being integrated into the biggest engine right of the bat.
Welcome generation with perfect geometry at all times, you have been long awaited 😍

Hmmm, I'll be waiting to play Ghost and TLOU2 on the PS5 den. Because if this is unreal, then sony's engines are going to break the game. This made it a very easy decision.
What does this mean to me as a consumer? Explain it like I'm 10 years old please
Sorry I'm just going off what the Epic guy said in the Geoff interview. Sweeney as well bigging up the SSD. He said there's so much polygonal detail being streamed in on the fly, not capable with current gen storage. And the PS5 has twice the bandwidth speed available to it than XSX. Are you saying that won't make any difference at all? Seriously.
It's using Quixel Megascans assets with Unreal 5 lighting. Should be doable for many developers. Quixel Megascans are free for Unreal users.
You really do. This is nothing more than a fancy tech demo. Nothing about this is real or playable to an end user on any hardware right now.
The Infiltrator UE4 Demo was released in 2013 and nothing release looks as good as it does.
One thing also seemed to be missed is the convolution reverb calculated from the space data. Will be huge for immersion. Can't wait to see this tech combined with the PS5's Tempest engine. Great demo.
Sure but I'm sure Xbox's high end first party will do something similarly amazing. We've heard it time and time again but both systems are insanely powerful.
For all the snazzy trianlges and lighting, it's a shame they still had the squeezing through tight gaps bit, ditto pre-determined climbing points. But I understand this was a tech demo and not a gameplay demo.
Tomb Raider is back!
I have to imagine SE sees this vid, and the reactions, and greenlights a UE5 Tomb Raider Reboot today lol.

That flying sequence is what's so funny about the SSD is just less loading time, shit like that is exactly what SSD's make possible.
"twice as fast as xsx" is relatively small potatoes when both are an order of magnitude faster than current console drives. the XSX drive is still fast enough to enable a load of stuff not possible on current systems.
They made something extremely impressive, dang. The lighting, the models, it's amazing. What got me most interested, even though I am not a modeler, is that it will allow you to create something in ZBrush and immediately import it into the engine without pre-baking it. I'm sure that saves a lot of time.
