We have been seeing these unreal engine 5 tech demos for years now and im still waiting to see it on a actual game..
It seems we’re at another turning point in graphical fidelity and technical advancements like we were years ago with the jump to Xbox 360 and PS3. Considering all of the tools available in UE5 are sure to help expedite and expand studios, especially smaller studios with small teams, and projects alike to where we might have the next golden age of gaming again. If the publishers allow it, that is.
All the technical brilliance of this engine won't help if studios or publishers do not design proper gameplay, setting or stories and continue to only toe to bottomline and cater to investors and shareholders rather than the actual gaming community.
Absolutely incredible. Reminds me of the progress we made with space image technology. The guys, and girls at unreal are true pioneers. Geniuses in their field. I’m so excited.
Some people are not guys or girls, but transgender, gender neutral, non-binary, agender, pangender, genderqueer, two-spirit, third gender. Try to be a little more open-minded, you homophobe.
in 20 years, vr will really will be like we are in the matrix. people will create their own fantasy photorealistic worlds with ease with the help of ai and easy tools, or their childhood home, places, people, family...dreams. crazy stuff.

@@AngryApple Cant you make the position contextual? Like the position is only measured from the big world grid cells that have no measurement, just a grid number.
This is absolutely marvellous and unreal how far we've gotten with game engines, but understand that this is only a DEMO and the engine was used just for this short demo. In reality, production has to accommodate for a lot of other performance factors and might not look or feel as great.
It's because they literally just grabbed it off of the Unreal Engine Livestream (which just ended). Epic Games hasn't released the 4K native footage yet, so they wanted to beat other media outlets to the punch by grabbing it from the livestream.
It wont look like this, at least not without insane smoke and mirrors. The PS5 is carrying what is basically a 2070s. Naughty Dog is a Sony studio and will have to publish exclusively for the Playstation 5. So its limited to whatever hardware the console can support.
The thing is, he said that it's deterministic. So if you only had a that small section in the middle made by a human, the rest could be extracted by just some basic parameters and generation tool. You wouldn't have to ship the whole environment, just the hand made stuff and the parameters for the rest.
@@MelvilleG Huh? If you on PCVR/Psvr2, the console and or pc is the "power" not the headset. The headset is merely a tv on your head.. There are already unreal 5 vr games in development.
what does that even mean? you have waited for this specific thing since Nintendo days? Nintendo still exists. Graphic progression is just what has happened long before and after the "Nintendo days"
Years ago we thought that was the peak of graphics. Just when you thought it couldn't get better it gets better. It's amazing what technology can do with video games, truly a next generation experience
You know it's next level when you see the Rivian front tire get's contorted by the rock beneath it giving the impression of the vehicle's weight and the hardness of the rock applying pressure to deform the tire. Usually vehicle tires in games seems to be a solid object. Some unreal gfx
@@lawray8368 No I've never played Spintires but from the gameplay videos I've seen, it appears it was not until 2020: snowrunner that they implemented tire distortion and it doesn't seems to be as impressive as the Unreal Engine 5.2 demo implementation.
@@grass_rock Ive seen unreal engine show us what a DBZ game would look like 13 years ago, this is awesome, but this has been in development and open to our eyes for over a decade now
They're underselling the amount of work it takes to set up those procedural elements. They have everything ready to go in the this demo, but someone had to painstakingly create all the elements to be used in that system before designers would be able to throw them around like this. It's basically a new tech pipeline that devs would have to learn in depth to take advantage of. I'm sure it will be used, but it's not by any means an easy thing.
@@JamesPound I'm sure this is basic knowledge to devs, they would end up creating assets in both cases anyway, this tool would help them create variations, place them in the environment and save tons of valuable time.
@James P. I'm sure you are right and no doubt allot of work has to be done to set up the various parameters for it to work, but it still could be an amazingly useful tool in speeding up the development process in the long run. I'm sure that developers would find ways to efficiently streamline the process and adapt elements to be reused where it's appropriate.
@@JamesPound As has always been the case, the art assets need to be created. But with this tech the implementation time, use cases, and scalability would dramatically improve.
Real time rendering is gonna be incredibly cost effective and far less time consuming for future games. The fact that the map re-renders in seconds when you shift a cliff face to the side....the future is ready
Man, the engineers who had to build this kind of thing always blow my mind. Also, imagine a game like Valheim, maybe a super advanced version, using something like this for procedural world generation... wow.
This is insane. Wonder what kind of RIG would you need to run this at 60fps. FFVIIR 2 using UE engine 5 is going to be crazy looking if this is what it can offer.
There is still a long road ahead. Much has to be done to make the environment at games more reactive and interactive. At games, your interaction in a fight is against your enemy where the surroundings like the land, trees, mountains, fallen objects, etc around you are not affecting how you fight your opponent. It's understandable why this is the case as more processing power is needed.
@@egretfx Well ,the game runs on the engine, so it is abviously not only devs problem. Sure, they have to otpimize the game well, but if the engine is way too demanding, nothing they can do about it.
@@Azhureus right, but here you've had 13900K intel CPU and 4090 RTX GPU, which for end-user standards is pretty much overkill. we didn't see any scripts, quest logic, actors, AI, cinematic camera triggers etc, so even though it's impressing, it's basically just a level running in the editor with all the technologies like nanite and world partitioning, which make it run even smoother. cooked version and PIE version are not the same, even though supported by the same factors. It's doable to create a game this impressive, but it will be closer to a walking simulator for the selected few that have the best hardware possible which contrasts the commercial success
Wow, in about 10 years gaming is going to be absolutely mind blowing when this stuff is fully integrated and hardware is capable and financially available for us common folk. This is absolutely incredible. Bravo 👏
New game engines such UE5, IW, Source2 reached peak of graphics. The only way games can evolve is animations. You saw games like Unrecod, its impressive becouse of animations.
@@Seinaruosu you're not rendering a full game of this graphical quality at 100% render resolution & the standard 120Hz on the Valve Index, even with a 4090 it's not happening... You have to render two separate images in VR, remember this.
@@thatkidfromthatshow If you mean from something like a VR with a SoC that can handle that power, yeah. But if connected to a PC, whatever is after a 40 series gpu should be able to handle a full game no hiccups at 4k 60 atleast
Yup, all these tools in UE 5.1 and 5.2 are effectively immense force multipliers. We're ABSOLUTELY going to see more fully features 3D world games made by a single person, much like how Stardew Valley was made by one and Hollow Knight was made by 3.
procedural stuff looks so easy and beautiful, this makes me excited because developers will be able to make Giga giant maps to explore, imagine 2,000 square kilometer map
how the enviroment responds to real time editing, adapting the scene to the movements made by the artist, it's an INSANE step up.
...Can make all the UE5 jungles same in the games 😂

To be fair, they're also using a powerful rig. Now, if all of that were optimized to run on low end hardware, I'd be surprised.

@@AngryApple Without 64bit for the engine, those type of space games won't be possible.
@@Redsword603 not necessarily true. 64bit makes it easier but you could always a floating world origin that is centered around your player.
@@AngryApple Cant you make the position contextual? Like the position is only measured from the big world grid cells that have no measurement, just a grid number.
Let's have Snowrunner with these graphics ❤
That would send people mad.
That was my first thought when watching this. 😂
@@CptnZach me too 😅

@@CptnZach Same lmao
This is absolutely marvellous and unreal how far we've gotten with game engines, but understand that this is only a DEMO and the engine was used just for this short demo. In reality, production has to accommodate for a lot of other performance factors and might not look or feel as great.
From 2006 games really started getting amazing with grapichs imagine another 15 years phew
Please release these videos in 4k in the future.
Literally just posted this... Smh like IGN and Unreal Engine can't produce (at least) 4k content... Right. 🙄🙄🙄🙄
It's because they literally just grabbed it off of the Unreal Engine Livestream (which just ended). Epic Games hasn't released the 4K native footage yet, so they wanted to beat other media outlets to the punch by grabbing it from the livestream.
So much detail in *realtime* on one graphics card is crazy impressive!
This is just incredible 😮 I just wish it was showing at 1440 😭 lol
Imagine being able to test drive cars in VR using this tech and level of detail to the car.
3:15 looked insane
Looks like a perfect engine to make next uncharted game
naughty dog already as a built inhouse engine for their games, there is no need to switch engines
@@perfectoryt9118 Naughty Dog's "OnRails" engine is far superior to anything procedurally generated...
they said they were moving on from uncharted series dude
Tomb raider, Witcher, Stalker etc...
It wont look like this, at least not without insane smoke and mirrors. The PS5 is carrying what is basically a 2070s. Naughty Dog is a Sony studio and will have to publish exclusively for the Playstation 5. So its limited to whatever hardware the console can support.
VR systems within unreal will be insane when it comes
These level of graphical details are absolutely stunning! Game libraries are gonna get huge ❤🎮✅
The thing is, he said that it's deterministic. So if you only had a that small section in the middle made by a human, the rest could be extracted by just some basic parameters and generation tool. You wouldn't have to ship the whole environment, just the hand made stuff and the parameters for the rest.
@@Bareego It's like a new level of demoscene
Now this would be quite the VR experience
Why not. In some 50 yrs when the hardware of the VR sets will be powerful enough to handle this scene.
And the games will still be just as mediocre
@@MelvilleG 50 years? Hahaha. Evolution happens so fast that they will be able to make this possible in the maxim of 6-7 years
@@MelvilleG The VR gear now is for kids only ...
@@MelvilleG Huh? If you on PCVR/Psvr2, the console and or pc is the "power" not the headset. The headset is merely a tv on your head.. There are already unreal 5 vr games in development.
This is unbelievably incredible. I’ve waited for this technology since the ninetendo days and can’t believe I’m finally seeing them now.
what does that even mean? you have waited for this specific thing since Nintendo days? Nintendo still exists. Graphic progression is just what has happened long before and after the "Nintendo days"
@@WhatisReal11 chill its not that deep
@@WhatisReal11 "Graphic progression is just what has happened long before and after the Nintendo days" 🤓
@@WhatisReal11 you want to seem intelligible so bad, yet you can't comprehend imagining something improving.
@@WhatisReal11 That was unnecessary..
A type of technology that could only get my hands on normally and pleasantly in the next 10 years or even 20 years
That auto-generating stuff is awesome. That should hopefully make for much more rapid production of huge maps.
of huge empty maps :p
absolutely amazing , imagine this environment while playing with vr-glasses!
can't believe that years ago something like re4 looked amazing but now we have something like this it's just remarkable what time can create😁
people create, time by itself only destroys
Years ago we thought that was the peak of graphics. Just when you thought it couldn't get better it gets better. It's amazing what technology can do with video games, truly a next generation experience
I'd love more games with real world physics. This looks incredible.
Props for the software engineers who actually built this, tremendous piece of art! congratulation Devs!
This is all very exciting. The big one for me on this presentation was the metahuman animation bit and how easy it makes that process.
You know it's next level when you see the Rivian front tire get's contorted by the rock beneath it giving the impression of the vehicle's weight and the hardness of the rock applying pressure to deform the tire. Usually vehicle tires in games seems to be a solid object. Some unreal gfx
Im guessing you havent played spintires
@@lawray8368 No I've never played Spintires but from the gameplay videos I've seen, it appears it was not until 2020: snowrunner that they implemented tire distortion and it doesn't seems to be as impressive as the Unreal Engine 5.2 demo implementation.
@@marlonapowellful spintires had terrain and tire deformation, rigid body physics, articulating suspensions, and more 10 years ago
The suspension, lighting, and foliage look unreal
That was absolutely mindblowing! Superb work from the teams behind all of that!
Wow! My jaw dropped from how mind blowing this looks. Can’t wait for the future of gaming.
we're already there
Impressive. That front left tire flex at 2:50 still needs some work though.
Can't believe this is a year old. Feels like it should be from 2026
Unbelievable, can you even imagine 10 years from now?
Look at tech demos from 10 years ago and realise that we still do not reach that lvl.
@@yesiyahhshow me which real-time tech demo from 10 years ago looks better than current games
@@yesiyahh Exactly! So many 15 year olds with no real perspectives. In 10 years games will only barely look better than now.
*replacing reality*
@@grass_rock Ive seen unreal engine show us what a DBZ game would look like 13 years ago, this is awesome, but this has been in development and open to our eyes for over a decade now
This is REVOLUTIONARY!
Hope this tech becomes mainstream in games soon!
They're underselling the amount of work it takes to set up those procedural elements. They have everything ready to go in the this demo, but someone had to painstakingly create all the elements to be used in that system before designers would be able to throw them around like this. It's basically a new tech pipeline that devs would have to learn in depth to take advantage of.
I'm sure it will be used, but it's not by any means an easy thing.
@@JamesPound I'm sure this is basic knowledge to devs, they would end up creating assets in both cases anyway, this tool would help them create variations, place them in the environment and save tons of valuable time.
@James P. I'm sure you are right and no doubt allot of work has to be done to set up the various parameters for it to work, but it still could be an amazingly useful tool in speeding up the development process in the long run. I'm sure that developers would find ways to efficiently streamline the process and adapt elements to be reused where it's appropriate.
@@JamesPound As has always been the case, the art assets need to be created. But with this tech the implementation time, use cases, and scalability would dramatically improve.
@@JamesPound Did you seriously just quote what the narrator already said on the video 3:20 emphasis on "painstakingly"
video games always blow out of proportion how reflective cars are in shadows and how shiny they are in light
Not many things blow your mind as much as this. Mad mad cool stuff🔥
Real time rendering is gonna be incredibly cost effective and far less time consuming for future games. The fact that the map re-renders in seconds when you shift a cliff face to the side....the future is ready
Man, the engineers who had to build this kind of thing always blow my mind. Also, imagine a game like Valheim, maybe a super advanced version, using something like this for procedural world generation... wow.
This is insane. Wonder what kind of RIG would you need to run this at 60fps. FFVIIR 2 using UE engine 5 is going to be crazy looking if this is what it can offer.
depends on resolution.. at 4k I'd say a 4070 or better if optimized for gaming at this detail. This demo was ran on a 4090
There is still a long road ahead. Much has to be done to make the environment at games more reactive and interactive.
At games, your interaction in a fight is against your enemy where the surroundings like the land, trees, mountains, fallen objects, etc around you are not affecting how you fight your opponent.
It's understandable why this is the case as more processing power is needed.
He literally said at the end this demo was run on an Intel 13900 and an RTX 4090
prolly just a ps5 lolol since u said 60 fps. no need for a 3,000$ PC
A ps5 for 60fps and a 3000€ PC for 60fps full of stutters as usual on recent PC ports
We need this in VR.
That iridescent coating is amazing... WOW! Well done!
0:34 the rivian plug was so unexpected people started laughing! 😂
it's overwhelming how impressive this is. Everything a gamer could ask for
Cowabunga! Game changer this engine, cant wait to see them applied to the console world
Hope there's a developer who makes it happen, an adventure offroad game/simulator would be awesome!
Snowrunner.
@@ablationer MudRunner
@@ablationer snow runner is ridiculously crap that's nothing compared to this
Forza
This just makes me want another Uncharted game. Amazing demo!
Right?
how u gonna upload a future graphics showcase in 1080p
Demos like this are always cool to watch. Now, deliver this to games that will run well and smooth, all set :)
That’s why they take so long…
That's not the issue of the engine....that's the game developers issue
@@egretfx Well ,the game runs on the engine, so it is abviously not only devs problem. Sure, they have to otpimize the game well, but if the engine is way too demanding, nothing they can do about it.
@@Azhureus right, but here you've had 13900K intel CPU and 4090 RTX GPU, which for end-user standards is pretty much overkill. we didn't see any scripts, quest logic, actors, AI, cinematic camera triggers etc, so even though it's impressing, it's basically just a level running in the editor with all the technologies like nanite and world partitioning, which make it run even smoother. cooked version and PIE version are not the same, even though supported by the same factors. It's doable to create a game this impressive, but it will be closer to a walking simulator for the selected few that have the best hardware possible which contrasts the commercial success
You haven't played many modern games have you?
Wow, in about 10 years gaming is going to be absolutely mind blowing when this stuff is fully integrated and hardware is capable and financially available for us common folk. This is absolutely incredible. Bravo 👏
New game engines such UE5, IW, Source2 reached peak of graphics. The only way games can evolve is animations. You saw games like Unrecod, its impressive becouse of animations.
These guys are such rockstars who made this stuff possible!
This is crazy. Imagine this in virtual reality
You'd need a gpu from 2033 to render it in real time.
@@thatkidfromthatshow no
@@thatkidfromthatshow Or a gpu from 2022, like 4090
@@Seinaruosu you're not rendering a full game of this graphical quality at 100% render resolution & the standard 120Hz on the Valve Index, even with a 4090 it's not happening...
You have to render two separate images in VR, remember this.
@@thatkidfromthatshow If you mean from something like a VR with a SoC that can handle that power, yeah. But if connected to a PC, whatever is after a 40 series gpu should be able to handle a full game no hiccups at 4k 60 atleast
This is going to be huge for indie developers with smaller teams
Yup, all these tools in UE 5.1 and 5.2 are effectively immense force multipliers.
We're ABSOLUTELY going to see more fully features 3D world games made by a single person, much like how Stardew Valley was made by one and Hollow Knight was made by 3.
procedural stuff looks so easy and beautiful, this makes me excited because developers will be able to make Giga giant maps to explore, imagine 2,000 square kilometer map
Assassin’s creed Valhalla is boring because it’s way too big
a 2,000 square kilometer map could be less interesting than a 1 square kilometer map if it's all the same
you want to explore an empty giant randomly generated map??
This is insane!
Só falta os jogos terem essa qualidade.
Where can we download the demo? or any car games with modded in Rivian trucks/SUVs
really cool. Kudos for Rivian looks amazing
কুদ্দুস
love all these techdemos. never seen a game yet.
Dude, how long do you think it takes to make a game? The engine is just a year old. Chill.
amazing stuff. this is not just for gaming! this is for the whole visual technology such as movies and presentations
