I'm still with my jaw on the floor.
Gears 6, Days Gone 2... such a massive jump.

Makes you wish it was for next entirely. :_;
Availabe as in the engine and its features.
But the Demo might need the PS5s I/O speeds to achieve that fidelity because its streaming in and out millions and millions of triangles.....an HDD or slow SSD wouldnt be able to actually stream that quickly....which would lead to some sort of cutbacks.
So quite possibly the PS5 will have better graphics out the gate simply because its able to stream in no LOD high poly assets in and out faster than could be done elsewhere.
How does a game have no LoDs?
You can always sacrifice distance detail for near detail. Even if you can push a stupid number of triangles at any distance pushing more at the player and less further away will look nicer. It makes no sense to say "no LoDs"
If the claim is LoD's won't be noticed by the player then sure that makes sense but if they are talking about removing LoD's entirely and have a solution I'd be curious what that solution is.
No, its something you start up and play. It's a playable engine demo.
That's awesome. This is just incredible, I guess that's why there are those crazy Uncharted 4 renders out there that look very realistic but in game it's not like that.

Unreal Engine 5 Revealed! | Next-Gen Real-Time Demo Running on PlayStation 5
Unreal Engine 5 empowers artists to achieve unprecedented levels of detail and interactivity, and brings these capabilities within practical reach of teams of all…

Guess it's doable? The Unreal Engine 4 Tech Demo was surpassed a long time ago with the current generation:
can someone explain how good this is in comparison to the gameplay shown at xbox series x showcase in terms of a dragon ball analogy
I dont think that part was a remark about Xbox SX, they simply were focused on PS5 as its where the demo is running. MS are significant consumers of Unreal tech, their dev teams are some of the best in pushing the engine, Coalition in particular, so i think we can only really speculate what it could mean for existing teams.
It is changing the resolution with dynamic resolution scaling, so the GPU will not be dropping frames here.
Can we just talk about that ruins fly through with billions of polygons...god damn! No loading whatsoever
Can't agree more. Just looking at the replies in this thread alone shows this was a marketing win for Sony.

The company used
Unreal Engine
to build entire 3D environments for the Star Wars live action series, displaying them on giant LED screens surrounding the set. Not only did this mean practically everything could be captured in frame, it also provided actors with some context to help their performances

Used in pre-vis.
Please don't try to lecture me on 3D, I worked in various VFX houses, some of the biggest films you saw in the last few years and I'm now working on UE in a big gaming company, I'm aware of the limitations and use-cases of RT in gaming and films, thanks.
Remember when they said game sizes would be smaller due to ssd speeds and the fact they didn't need to duplicate as much data for streaming purposes?
Didn't seem that way then and definitely not now after seeing that video.
So the PS5 doesn't have enough Flops heh? Give me that "underpowered" console and take my money!! :D
I can't wait for a technical explanation of how Nanite works. Do we think its just leveraging the new SSD bandwidth to pull full quality assets from disk, and using that new CPU power to create a version that the geometry engine or mesh shader turns into GPU friendly version? We know that pixel sized triangles are not GPU efficiency friendly. I'm wondering if that colored triangles view is the triangles from the full quality version, or actually rendered triangles. I guess I need to look into how those new mesh shader or geometry engine stuff works.
I'll have to rewatch this in a better resolution later. I'm impressed by this being possible on PS5 already.
yep, like, Jesus, has anyone ever seen a segment like that flying one in the end in any game ever? And people think it needs a corridor to load a simple cave 🙄
We don't know how high the I/O requirements are for this demo, but you are right that there would be some cutbacks on a slower SSD.
Sweet baby Jesus.... I can't wait to get my hands on this let alone see what all the amazing teams will pump out.
The fact that the console with least horsepower is putting out things like this means we are in for an amazing few years ahead of us

They did say it's a playable demo that changes every time you play. Maybe it will be?
But yeah, this was nice and a nice surprise to be running on PS5. The interview after was so insightful, one of first things Geoff asked about was the SSD.
Agree. It's time to stop worrying about, console warring about the specs.
Note, not ALL of the shots with KS2O where made with that workflow, care to go in and tell me which ones? 🤔
Same here. My 1st question was, stop the character on the 1st jump down and walk back around, look around. Just curious about stuff like that.
It's already used in production, both to provide Realtime visualisations in mocap and green screen situations, but also for the end render. Realtime Raytracing has recently been added into the tool suite, so the fidelity for these type of applications is super close but 1000's of times faster to work with
Damn, the most interesting game we've seen announced for next gen yet and it's not a real game. Epic should make this into a full thing it looks rad.
It's impressive how nice it looks too. Although I did laugh when he pointed out the fluid simulations as the player ran through some thick jelly-ass looking water.

Do I care to go scene by scene to find something for a silly internet argument?.
Thanks, I've got better things to do.
Not that surprising. Epic showed off Unreal Engine 4 with a PS4 tech demo too. They've been pretty cushy since Sweeny's weird vendetta with Microsoft regarding the Windows Store.
Definitely - there's no doubt that the XBX will have amazing looking games too.
But I think this reveal is more exciting that what we've seen previously from MS.
Remember in the other thread people said UE5 wasn't needed just because support was added for the PS5 and XBSX in UE4.
