Unreal Engine 5 Revealed! | Next-Gen Real-Time Demo Running on PlayStation 5
- Thread starter vestan
- Start date
Because anything that lower the cost and help the devs make games faster, also raise the chance of me getting more games at a faster rate from the devs I like, and help them stay in business. Crazy, huh! :O
When even devs are hype as fuck over the changes UE5 brings, you know the future of realtime gaming is bright.
When more games will be revealed this will go in the pile of takes that didn't age well.
I think the cramped part was meant to resemble the current generation experience in contrast to the flying through a bigger open space.
The word of the developers and the fact that it's running at 1440p 30fps and not 4k60fps or some absurd resolution\framerate.
Of course you can be excited, but Epic and their Unreal engine is a multiplatform engine so it really isn't logical for them to attach this to PS5 on reveal for any other purpose than marketing arrangements.
I wonder if some understand that games designed on HDD use tight spaces to hide loading but that doesn't mean when designing with SSD that couldn't use tight spaces.
Someone say on Twitter that the presence of a "tight space" transition is proof that SSDs isn't doing anything.

The Zen 2 CPUs in PS5 and Series X should allow for much more complex physics simulations.
Yeah it's still crazy to me that they managed to make it run so smoothly as well. An indication that PS5 is relatively easy to develop for. The animations are solid too when she's in the room with all the Statues and turns 360 degrees. Not sure what to expect from animations if games will look that good. It's certainly an area which could need some improvements.

I get that, but I fail to see how this is more important to me as a gamer than E3 which has tons of game announcements.
UE5 is cool for game developers and tech enthusiasts, but for an ordinary player such as myself, not so much..
Yeah it was weird how they basically just skipped over that and barely showed it, as in didn't highlight it
I think we'll reach that level of graphical quality but tech demos are usually ahead of what we end up seeing in games. At least for some time.
The second tweet suggests that this is infact possible in a linear cinematic game. Also, not sure Skyrim is the best example. While it looked decent when it released, Bethesda seem to cling to archaic technology relative to other AAA devs.
Tons of cool announcements and games you see will be empowered by this technology. This is a silly viewpoint.
It's totally valid to be excited about things will be lead to great games. This will shape the gaming landscape for the entire next decade to come. It's far more important than any single game; it's possibly the most significant gaming announcement in the last five to ten years.
Skyrim was held back for reasons other than the hardware limitations so that's an odd point of comparison.
Kinf of a dumb comment. RDR2 has all that he described (more so than Skyrim) and looks, well we all know how good it looks. Skyrim looks bad because it's tied to an ancient tech, and visuals are generally not that developer's very strong suit.
It truly looks next-gen. I didn't see real-time raytracing demo'ed but the rest, it looks very good. I'm excited to see the kind of changes that brings to UE5 on PC tbh.
Yeah that impressed the hell out of me.

Or maybe they attached to Sony because they were going the strongest on drive speed on this coming generation - a bottleneck that has plagued us for generations and the single biggest upgrade in this upcoming one. It would make working on a cutting edge demo that requires streaming data that much easier. They even hinted to this in their interview.
I'm not a fool - I get that money can go in hand. But there are lots of reasons this sort of thing can be set up, least of which is just that devs are excited to work on exciting hardware. PS5 is exciting.
Posts like these make me smile. Developers are losing their shit. Today has been a good day.
Whilst what you're saying could indeed be true, there's just been too many devs now who are super hyped or have sung praises about the PS5's SSD for there not to be at least some semblance of truth in the positivity beyond just marketing. A good number of the devs who have been singing those praises, have been multi-platform devs too.
I guess we'll know in due time, but it is unusual for so many devs (including on this very forum) to be so hyped about something so specific regarding next gen hardware. Perhaps a part of that hype is the time saving it'll allow in development, not necessarily just the visual fidelity or gameplay ramifications.
I'm keeping my expectations tempered, but beyond the in-engine Hellblade 2 cutscene, this demo has been the first truly wow moment in anything next gen I've seen, so in a way it came at the perfect time, because I was starting to doubt the next gen jump would actually be that notable.
Epic was working with Sony in the engine for a long time. That's why they did the reveal on PS5. It's so hard for you to see devs excited about PS5 that you need to think on false narratives?
Sony has a history of releasing demos like this from time to time. PS2 launched in Europe with a tech demo disk called "Take me away" or something like that. I have it somewhere. Then on PS3 we got that realtime KZ2 TV commercial. It wouldn't surprise me if they release this for download when PS5 launches - as long as Epic agrees to it, of course.

Nothing exciting about the XSX, wonder how this fares for the dozen or so XGS teams using UE5.
I'm gonna vomit with all this regurgitation of SSD marketing hype. A PC from today can run this without some exotic SSD from the future that « PC will maybe catch up to in 2 years ».
It's impressive tech, don't interpret my interest as something else, but that Sony secret magic sauce that nobody can compete is getting tiring.
I also believe so.
Hellblade 2 in-engine trailer is too much beyond anything we've seen with UE4, plus we'have also seen some AAA devs as The Coalition creating actual games with newer UE version much before its "public" release to regular devs.
I have never said that developers or even Epic shouldn't be excited about PS5 hardware. My only point was that Epic themselves as a multiplatform engine developer would likely not be doing this reveal talking mostly about PS5 if there wasn't some type of marketing arrangement, as that just seems like bad business for who they are. But that doesn't say anything of course about what is or isn't real with anything here either.
They did no such thing for PS4 tho. And Epic made this demo, not Sony.
I'm starting to get concerned XSX has no exciting qualities to it at this point
I have yet to see any developer praise the series X hardware
I mean his post is one thing, but how will open environments (The flyby sequence probably doesn't let you just fly anywhere) scale asset streaming? What about game sizes?
I think there are a lot of questions but we definitely know how a tombs-only Tomb Raider could look!
I need some clarification. On the asset creation side, developers usually create unique high detailed assets on a separate program and then they import that asset into the game, but they model has to be changed to support platforms that don't have to power to render highly detailed assets. Not only that they have to create separate models for LOD, as the viewer moves away the model changes to that of a lower poly model. But with this new technology, all the designer needs to do is create that asset and import it to the engine and that engine will downscale it as necessary without the designer needing to create new models or using other techniques. It also can mantain the LOD from a long distance. Is this right? Developers couldn't place that much high detailed assets on screen because it will be resource intensive( memory, money, time, etc), but now they don't have to worry about any of that, right?
I don't fully get the lighting side of things though. It looks like that there isn't a need for static lighting anymore and with static lighting, the models and lighting will have have to be changed around to get the appropriate mood. That is needed anymore, right?

Ah, cool. I wonder if this tech will be available and in good enough shape that Days Gone 2 can run on it? That might mean the game doesn't arrive for another 5-7 years though.
It will be really interesting to see how Sony Studios pivot to catch up to this tech. Since Epic own Quixel, what does that mean for Horizon 2 and the Decima engine? can they also integrate similar Geometry scaling into Decima for use with the Quixel assets? that seems like it would be UE5 exclusive.
It also makes me wonder if Hellblade II is running on UE4 or UE5? It must be running on UE4, since I sincerely doubt this engine is in any sort of advanced state.
Epic said they support current gen hardware, too /s
Again, even when asked they didn't use the word Xbox at all. This is not excitement for one platform, this is the result of a deal. Mind, they are not mutually exclusive but that doesn't mean they are not excited for the other platform, it's the deal they made to not talk about it.
