Oh man then I cannot wait to see what their RPG is going to look like even more.
That tech demo was incredible. If that is what we can expect by ps5/X, we are in for a fucking treat. Thank you Epic for showing us what next-gen is going to look like. MS studios are going to have a field day with this engine.
Xbox SX is more powerful and have teams with considerable experience with Unreal, i agree this is how you hype next gen machine, this is impressive on PS5, the XSX results should be greater!
I think we're starting to see some serious diminishing returns on generational jumps. That demo looked awesome, but honestly not that different from games running on current gen today. Gears 5 and TLOU2 come to mind.
Maybe expectations should be "tempered" across the board leading up to Sony and MS's first party reveals

“I think it will take a couple of years before we see games that look like this, which is fair. Xbox Series X will look just as good even though this demo definitely relies on the super-fast PS5 I/O. But she still squeezes through a loading corridor, so what is even the point...

Errr what? Facial animation and textures? Sure.
Anything else? No...
quite sure that was just to show off the details up close. cant imagine it was needed - especially after seeing the final flight scene.
Also, Tim Sweeney is REALLY cozy with PlayStation there, especially regarding their storage solution. Smart of Sony to partner on this demo, even if MS studios will benefit by this even more.
I wonder how hard he's pushing for their first party to go on egs.
Honestly? If games look like that, I'm okay with lesser focus on raytracing. This looked incredible.
I get that MS bungled the whole gameplay thing last week but it's crazy seeing so many people worked up about the UE5 tech demo. Yeah it looked really good, but I feel like the Hellblade 2 trailer already gave us a peak at these types of visuals and that is an actual game. On top of that there were some legitimately great looking games shown last week that got absolutely crapped on, actual games mind you, and now people are crapping themselves over a tech demo.
No way. They need something bigger than a touchdown and field goal. Too US centric. They just need a goal (football is much bigger globally than American football! :)).
I think it looks awesome without tempered expectations. The big "wait a second" is the 2021 release date. Does that mean games released running on UE5 in 2021 or studios can start developing on it in 2021? And if so can games start on UE4 and be moved to UE5 later in the dev cycle? All that kind of dictates when we'll actually see this. Right now it's just 2021 at best.
I would pay extra for a limited edition Gary Potter version.
"As for Microsoft's Xbox Series X, Sweeney isn't saying the new Xbox won't be able to achieve something similar; both are using custom SSDs that promise blazing speeds. But he says Epic's strong relationship with Sony means the company is working more closely with the PlayStation creator than it does with Microsoft on this specific area."
I was suprised to read this. Anyway we are in for a treat! Next gen games on both consoles are going to look so fucking good.
Games looking like that are expected in 2023 or 24, so that hopefully means all upcoming XGS games using UE will all be using UE5.
Hellblade 2 is UE, right?
Hellblade 2 is UE, right?
But.. no. GAMERS WANT GAMES!!! XBOX HAS NO GAMES!! SHOW US THE GAMES!!!
Oh but not those games. SHOW US GAMEPLAY!! THIS ISN'T REALLY REPRESENTATIVE OF WHAT WE'RE ACTUALLY GONNA PLAY!
Oh but not like.. actual next gen gameplay that we'll have this year. No.. lie softly to me... Show me stuff that I won't touch for 3-4 years, running software that I will never play nor never could play, built to obfuscate the impressive part where WE GO INTO A FREAKING IN-GAME CUTSCENE. lol. Which is great, I loved this demo - and that streaming was extremely impressive and it's very possible that Series X wouldn't be able to stream as quickly.
This was a marketing coup FOR SURE - especially since Sony doesn't even use Unreal really. It's just funny how I keep saying that NARRATIVE MATTERS, and nothing else. Not games. Not console sales. Nothing. It's just narrative. There's really no next gen info here. They're saying the same exact things we've heard about PS5 already. Lots of UE5 details, for sure. But.. yea.
This won't last for too long once first party games have been revealed.
People shouldn't forget this was just a demo to highlight some new features.
There was only one character on screen with very stiff environment.
my thought was that teaser was more representative of what the game will look like then i thought :O
Seriously Twitter is just fanboy battlefield at this point, whatever you afraid, let Timdog do the job lmao.
I have been thinking the same thing

Very surprising.. What strong relationship...?
Actually just thought about it... Does anything think that this means Epic has made deals to move multiple Sony 1st party studios to Unreal? THAT would be worth rolling out the red carpet for PS5 and making this deal. I really can't think of how else they'd have a particularly strong relationship, unless they've been working closely on how to secure a huge coup in gaming. Imagine how big that would be. "The industry is made on Unreal"...

Also I remember a post saying the PS5 is going to put their speed up front(when presenting the console) compared to their gpu/cpu.
i think the current gen character model brought the demo down a bit, if they used the model from the HB2 trailer in that demo, then it would feel more next-gen.
That's how marketing and partnerships work.I have been thinking the same thing

The ironic thing is I bet UE5 will show its best work on Xbox first party studios...
I seriously need to question again what they were thinking with that reveal last week and especially calling it the first look of next gen games...
I think it's so impressive because it's running real-time on a PS5. Not just in-engine. It's a playable demo they recorded on a PS5. That's really promissing for next-gen. In a way, Epic has beaten both Sony and Microsoft in the race to show off next-gen real time graphics.
"We're designing for forward compatibility, so you can get started with next-gen development now in UE4 and move your projects to UE5 when ready."

This is awesome!
I had to leave the house right after that demo, so I can't watch the interview right now. But in the other thread I read that Epic is more or less avoiding mentioning Series X at all? That's a bit sad if that's true.
I guess their partnership with Sony goes that deep then huh? Lol.

I wouldn't expect Tim Sweeney to say anything positive about Microsoft given the way he showed his ass a couple of years back, so it's just business as usual. Good to know that Series X will be able to do that and more, although tech demos aren't representative of shipped product by any stretch of the imagination.
HYPE!!!!

:)
Gears 5 on ultra settings is far and away the best looking UE4 game, so it wouldn't surprise me either.
