Reading devs being exciting is so cool.
Share your excitement boys and girls. It's great to see.

But what if it look worse than what was shown today?All this excitement thanks to the next gen PS5 gameplay reveal of the U5 tech demo, now imagine when Sony shows HZD2...they will break the internet
They did no such thing for PS4 tho. And Epic made this demo, not Sony.
Lmao, glad to hear it seems to ease development. Now, don't replace that with hardship in some other area of development. Real talk, does it seem like development will be easier for next gen?
Loved the music choices, I was crying, lol.
You won't get reported from me for that alone. Nice surprise, no one leaked it was running on PS5.
Never !
Its less about it looking better but more about how things are going to be far easier to develop. Lots of stuff already done was faked with baked lighitng, normal maps, etc and all that work is unnecessary now if this is true.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.
I'm suspecting the flying part is streaming an enormous amount of data from the SSD.Seems like Epic was planning to do this anyway to show off their engine, as apart of Keighleys summer of games or whatever. Then, either because of close relationships with Sony or Sony reaching out specifically, they tried to rebrand it as a PS5 thing. Makes sense as PS5 has been largely left out of the next gen discussion. However its quite obvious we aren't seeing anything that won't be possible, or even perform better, on SeX as well. Overall very cool demo.

Which is exactly why this was a tech demo....it's showing off the new tech & isn't about the gameplay at all.Nice piece of linear 3D model tourism. All world animations were clearly pre-scripted. The rocks look rockier than ever!
This demo is really depressing ifs its any signal of next gen. Detailed 3D models crammed in by the millions isn't impressive anymore. Where is the new gameplay??? We have already flown through rich detailed environments. we have already crammed through rocky caves and ran on walls. We have already climbed up cliffs that crumble in a prescripted sequence. This demo was a big nothingburger on the gameplay front.

Has anyone gif'd the part where two holes in the ceiling open up and light pours into the tomb or w/e?
I don't think my body is ready for HZD2 😩All this excitement thanks to the next gen PS5 gameplay reveal of the U5 tech demo, now imagine when Sony shows HZD2...they will break the internet
Those bottlenecks are removed, that's the point, it was mentioned in the video, open world games not longer have to be dumped down due technical constraints, you're no longer dealing with draw calls, LODs, you're material instruction counts can be higher, etc etc, and in terms of assets, that one demo had billions of polygons, that dwarfs any open world game currently in existence, i've worked on a few, working on one right now.
I'm gonna stop you right there since you clearly didn't read what I wrote.

Awesome to see Brian Karis get the recognition he deserves. He was working on a more rudimentary version of this tech back when he was the rendering lead on Prey 2.
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
available 2021?
that's just disappointing.
means we probably won't get a non epic UE5 game for years.
Remember what virtualized geometry could do over a decade ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ned4N4fLF_I - and that was using storage several hundred times slower than the PS5 SSD (not to mention how GPU constrained that was).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.
Oh it can be scaled down, you can pre cache it and have low quality models, lots of repetitions around.This demonstration single-handedly eviscerates many bullshit arguments about next-gen - principally that SSDs won't change anything beyond improving load times. The flying sequence at the end just simply is not possible on current-gen hardware and thus isn't something that can be simply "scaled down".
This technology has profound implications for us end users but for developers as well. That's equally exciting.
Bravo to Epic for their accomplishments and giving us an excellent glimpse at technologies built for next-generation hardware from the ground up.

Its more likely to be games made on UE4 and they will be ported and tested to UE5 as quick as they can.available 2021?

I feel storage speed (as well as storage size since average storage size and game size it was not as large a decade ago) were the biggest reason why virtual texturing kind of died before it caught on. That plus obviously the CPU/GPU constraint they had when using virtual texturing (like with idtech 5)Remember what virtualized geometry could do over a decade ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ned4N4fLF_I - and that was using storage several hundred times slower than the PS5 SSD (not to mention how GPU constrained that was).
Storage limitations become a thing very quickly with unique-detail at this scale&density though.

The irony lol.I lol'd at the "crawl through the narrow passage" slowly scene. SSDs eliminating load times and devs keep "hidden loading" mechanics because they're "cinematic" would be hilarious.
Seriously?
You get this in the middle of the flying sequence on the Series X!
That might have been my favorite part of the demo. We've never had such natural dynamic light without serious elbow grease and smoke 'n mirrors!
Then 3 seconds later you see the statue made out of a bajillion triangles..... and then 5 seconds later "oh, we filled a whole room full of these and more".
Good point. The Skyrim comparison does seem weird especially with FO4 being a newer and better looking iteration of the same tech.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.
That's what you get when you only brute force power with PC parts put together 😎Such a boring console, no redeeming qualities whatsoever, only advantage is 100p on res. :)
This is a tech demo. You won't get raw, max quality assets littering any game that actually has to be made into a game.
Beyond that, the benefit of Raw max quality assets diminishes the further away from the screen they are. There's no need to even shoot for that outside a tech demo.
It's not just art style. But the actual tech on display and playable in cyberpunk is well beyond what in this demo.

I am expecting it to hold up to this. Horizon Frozen Dawn looks insane on current gen.
Well, if you want to be a cynic, even with the fast ssd, the demo still ran 30 FPS...
