Unreal Engine 5 Revealed! | Next-Gen Real-Time Demo Running on PlayStation 5
- Thread starter vestan
- Start date
Indeed. I can't stop thinking about how Vib Ribbon would look utilising next-gen tech.
TFW most of the reactions to this will be from influencers who don't know much if anything about game development. 😢
Pay attention to what's being said during those segments. That's the important bit.
if they did just 8 billion trianles rather than 16 billion they could hit 60fps
Oh
I watched it, it's cool. But it's not a game......so it's not a big deal to me the actual consumer. It's fantastic tech and a lot of thought was out into the next iteration of UE. But at the end of the day I'm smashing the X button come splash screens to get the game.
for a gamer it's a really long video of basically saying, you don't have to worry which console you get.....next gen is here and it's great
It's a tech demo intended to show off various next-gen graphical features.
It was a great glimpse into next gen gameplay, well done.
Excited to see what else you got planned for the rest of the summer.
yeah, I dont think people realise how much time and back and forth this solves on the back end.
Linear AAA games can come back to tight 80 person studios instead of needing 100+ grunts massaging light maps and generating LOD's
You're not, in the technical sense GDC stuff is more important for the gaming industry than e3 stuff.
This is just a tech demo in form of interactive third person "game". You should focus on the tech and features cause that's is the only important thing in that demo.
I still am absolutely shocked that they just drop in zbrush models without any extra work. I'm not sure it's even fully sunk in yet. It's huge for the player and huge for the developer.
PS5 and UE5 whew

I think the textures being better may make a huge difference. It really takes you out of the experience when you are next to a wall and it looks all blurry. But as with all of this, I think we'll need to see it with our own eyes on our own tv to judge.

Meant the actually playable demo with levels, characters et all.
just to clarify, no, a PS4 Pro could absolutely not run this
visual fidelity and graphics are more than just buzzwords like 4k too

Watched the higher quality version and good lawd. Please make this into a real game, Epic. I'm so excited to see first party games.
Megatextures returning in big style with super high texal density and polygons being virtualized. That's the game changer from having a fast SSD.
These techniques and concept were always there, but now we're finally at a point where we can get real world benefit from it that far surpass conventional techniques.

While I'm sure the Series X will be able to run this kind of graphics quality as well, this really is another marketing win for Sony. This is trending all over social media, connected to Ps5. No one is talking about XBox.
Makes that Inside Xbox from last week look even worse by comparison.

Fair enough, I still have to read through everything Nanite does but it seems that one its features is kinda VRS-like.
PS4 and Xbox One absolutely will run UE5, this was called out several times. Maybe not to the degree of the tech demo given how taxing and limiting it already was on the hardware they chose, but it will run.
Saw a dev talking about how big some of the Zbrush files can be and now I'm picturing a world returning to floppy's or console cartridges for games, except they're 2TB SSDs
Here's an uploaded version without Youtube's horrible compression -

Nanite has to do with how the assets are created. Artists no longer have to spend time creating 10 versions of one object.
VRS has to do with the fidelity those assets are shaded at.
Cerny was absolutely correct when he stressed how important the SSD was, that flying section would not be possible on a mechanical hard drive
Man I can't wait to see Spider-Man 2 on this thing

Thanks for the reply. Your last paragraph crushed my son's dreams a little :)
I hope they update their loc branch so that the whole text export is not alphabetically sorted mixing dialogue, items and other stuff.
Funny thing is, Sony hasn't even tweeted or retweeted the tech demo yet. :D
Maybe, but even ignoring the SSD advantage, thanks to its higher clocks the PS5 has the advantage (about 22%) in some areas like pixel fillrate or triangle rate, the latter was actually one of the most important aspect of this demo.
What? Lol dude you won't have to wait that long. You know there are so very competent studios with other engines. Let's just wait till Sony and Microsoft show there games next month
you weren't buying it before? but are now going to buy it because of a tech demo that is not actually (and will never be) a game?
huh.
No pop-ins allowed but I can't help it. This was what I needed to see! Oh my...
Gave me some of that Uncharted 4 at times, now I'm just trying to imagine it running on this engine on PS5.

They don't need to. Ps5 all over every social media repost.
A butt length strand of straight or wavy hair would need maybe 25 segments to look smooth, which would be 50 polygons if the hair is flat and always faces the camera (which is good enough to look very realistic with a good shader) A human has generally 90-130k strands of hair, (redheads usually have less, generally blondes have most, brunettes in the middle).
In CG they usually do a lot less strands and make them 2-4x thicker than real so the hair still looks full. A character with 50,000 individual strands of hair with 25 segments each would have 2.5 million polygons of hair. If they have very curly hair it'd need more polygons but you could use less strands, since curly hair looks fuller, so let's say 4 million polygons for a curly haired character with very long butt length hair.
Female game characters hair is usually shorter, like mid-back length or shoulder lengthso you wouldn't need as many segments so let's say 1m to 1.5m polygons for a typical female character with totally polygonal hair.
Male characters with Nathan Drake style hair would only need 250-350k polygons, or longer male hair like Dante from DMC5 500k polygons.
Those numbers are just for the full-detail, close-up shots.. take into account hair LOD systems which cut down the amount by a large margin.
Sorry for the long post but overall, I'd say CGI level fully polygonal hair rendering for main characters is very likely attainable, CGI level hair physics not so much.

Except it's the GPU that was stressed and bottlenecked, not the SSD. There's nothing that indicates anything PS5-specific is required to handle this that couldn't be handled by PC or XSX.
It will be no sooner than 2022
Does anyone have that announcement timeline that was teased by Jeff Grub? The one that had ____man for Tony Hawk?
Should Samus not be allowed to morph into a ball to fit into a tunnel?
It will happen, but unlike last gen, it won't be to hide loadings.
I'm struggling to see how people think this looks so much better than other stuff we've already seen like Cyberpunk, StarCitizen, Etc.
Looks great, but also as expected based on what's already out there.
