Unreal 5 engine.. wow

Looks good and it's impressive tech but honestly, from a user perspective, I can't see much difference from PS4. I would imagine that stuff is going to mean huge downloads too.

Is that GOW btw?

A useful tool since the outside world will increasingly become void . . .

It's unreal.

I'm not into gaming or anything like that - Could they use an engine like that to run a Sims like environment or Second Life?..

It really is amazing.....

Pretty amazing. Some of this is the new SSD - the throughput and IOPS are incredible. I used to think it would require 1GB for realistic, but they're at 3-5GB now. With other teams working on human models, we may see real photorealism in the next 10-15 years.

I think on 4K (UHD) televisions the difference will be quite visible..

I dont think it is needed for games with cartoonish look like Sims.

i don't have time to be into gaming, but that definitely looks amazing

the global illumination and the 'niagara' flocking "animal particles" are a nice touch, seemed refined but imperfect. a bit of smoke and mirrors here and there but pretty nice. i didn't dig the clothes simulation and the animation switches weren't seamless either (maybe a gamer culture thing, people want immediate control, i like the opposite like in gta 5 though..), plus convolution reverb is nothing new (and didn't even conceal the near-field recorded foley on stuff happening 30ft away from you but nvm)...
alas, still a pretty neat engine, these polygon count wars are getting out of hand for sure. i am still waiting for the moment when instead of environment, characters will be in focus so they crawl out of the uncanny valley.

i like poo

You 8-bit fanatics . . .

The latest advancements are tremendous.
But know that this is not just for gaming. Not even just VR gaming.
But all VR from training media to virtual vacations and the HOLODECK like experience we are moving to.
I have not worked with unreal5 yet but see the advantage right away. It's all in the details.... LOL

Virtual porn anyone ?

My point was more could you make them less cartoonish and more realistic with a games engine like that...

OP is such a geek!

:winkwink::winkwink::winkwink:

What this does for film / television will be much more revolutionary than anything it will do for gaming.

Why would you wanna do that? The whole point of the Sims games is the cartoonish look and feel :)
