Unity shows impressive new demo for Unity 2019

I do hope next gen theres a big push for more polycount rather then aesthetics.
Games are pretty enough now for me.

I'm awed and scared at the same time because I feel like I've dreamed of living like this, you know the kind of dreams that are so real as if you have actually experienced in another life or dimension.

Looks incredible, too bad its not an upcoming game. Reminds me a lot of the city planet demo from Star Citizen last year.

Yup. It's easy to get into from a game dev perspective and is incredibly powerful and scalable, suited to fit just about any type of game on any platform.
Of course, but even if they started work the day the assets are out I'm not expecting a game that uses them to release for at least 5 years. Still, something to look forward to I suppose.

Most complaints have started to slow down the more people realize what games are made with it

Realistically you wont see this demo on current gen at all. But with the Job System, ECS, Burst and a few of their new systems, it would run better than stock Unity hahaha
hmm, really interested in this.. been working on something extremely basic with current unet and am having trouble finding any sort of 'best practices' or 'we recommend doing this to accomplish x, y, and z' so I'm hoping I can follow along with this.. I'm still having such a rough time with networking, server/client auth, when to use what, how to make players cleanly interact with an object, etc etc etc
maybe I'm trying to jump too high for my first project :)

Unet as you know it now is going to lose support very soon, look at this project to see what they are doing.
I decided to do something similar a few days ago.
There are some youtube videos about making first steps, like building your own bow and arrow mechanic for VR
I'm watching some of Brackeys tutorials on Unity (non VR) as I don't really know much about C#, this small series was quite fun:

You'll find some VR specific stuff simply by searching on google/youtube.
Edit: Be aware that Unity seems to be changing quite abit with new releases and they change around menus and where to find stuff, also happens in this tutorial series but it's not a dealbreaker as you can quickly find everything by just looking around, reading the comments or google.
To answer my own question, they're live-streaming their ECS panels all day, and it sounds like they're covering topics that we might surmise are shown off in this demo :)

Impressive stuff, even more so that it's running on an iPhone X.
I wish they'd support Swift or Objective-C as language options; I think Unity would get more use by iOS devs if they did.

A combination of the new garbage collection system, the job system and ECS is gonna go a long way towards eliminating the issues that mainly have been causing people to go "ew, Unity". It's a good engine, but it's taken a while for the devs to really fix things up there. ECS isn't necessary for well-optimized code, especially with the Job System providing much easier multithreading, but it basically does multithreading for everything by default.
I can't wait for Unity 2019. Been stuck using Unity 2017 since last year but the upgrade will be so worth it with all these huge improvements coming next year.
Polygon budget is getting more and more expansive which excites me to no end. And finally, terrain overhaul too!

nothing. Apple's design is miles ahead in single-threaded performance
If you look carefully at the video, they are using Unity 2018.3 beta, though it's possible they are using a branch with new features/optimizations
Cheers I don't know shit about phones lol
Check the crazy maps people have made using unity for vrchat. Bonkers.
Not that I can tell? That particular steam is apparently focusing purely on the ECS talks, and getting into the nitty-gritty of the system.
