This. Just saying.

Yup, that's next gen, alright
Don't get this. DoF is adaptive, the focus would change with the point of view.
In this regard it is more interactive than cinema, where you have no control over it.
Also any closeup with a camera will result in massive DoF too.
This screenshot is insanely great looking imo, and bokeh DoF is playing a big role in this tbh.
And i'm more a post process hater than lover in general.

Calling bullshit on that one.

imo... they should be really hyping the GI implemenation. (which is farm more interesting)
The depth of field, material quality,and model quality are already achievable in other engines and even in late gen UE 3.95

I kinda like the DOF application here, the image is composed well enough that my eyes are drawn to the area of sharp focus.
Even though the helmet design as a whole is a bit ho-hum, I'm loving the texture work.

The heat from the GPU must go somewhere.
How come epic's tech demos always have more personality than their actual games and look far more interesting.
Remember the e3 2005 sony tech demo of that robot chasing down that black soldier.
Or that Blade Runner like tech demo a year or so back, UE4 demo looked really interesting as well, plus this. The helmet design looks dope, much more interesting than Unreal Tournament, Bulletstorm and to some extent Gears.

I think is in part the combination of DOF and Global illumination, that since we are yet to see it frequently used elsewhere, it reminds us of CE3.
I imagine it would be like having an engine using bump mapping since 2003, and then when the other engines the start using it in 2004, it reminds us of the first.
Agreed. These effects work very well in static shots.
To the complainers, these exaggerated effects wont end up in actual gameplay, they are just for cinematic purposes.
Anyway, I want more...... Just look at those damn textures!
DOF I can deal with for the most part - even think it works really well at times and is totally appropriate.
This stupid Chromatic Aberration BS just baffles me. It's considered a negative characteristics of lenses and is even corrected for in post processing of photographs in must any photo workflow . . . so why oh the hell do I want it rendered in my games?

DOF isn't that weird if used normally. It's weird if you have a really small DOF on a large plan, which isn't natural. And it should always be used interactively indeed (except on a cinematic obviously..).
But for example having a DOF effect when aiming in a third person is pretty natural and usefull.

This is my favorite comment of the thread.
Also has there been confirmation whether a global illumination solution is in UE4 for sure? I thought there was some concern that Epic had problems with it and had to scale it back.
Well the Edge article these came from still lists it.

Have you not played Halo 4, Killzone 2, the Uncharted Series?\
We already have console games with graphics much better than anything currently on the Wii U.

Looks godly. Best next gen tech I've seen.
Not sure if serious.

Yeah, this helmet has way more personality than Bulletstorm.

Screw that, just give us an actual demo to play around with. Where is the harm in actually letting us play with this cool new tech on our hardware?
Is that condescension?
Go figure.

Definitely looks better to me.
Depth of Field makes sense in cutscenes, but it needs to stay very far away from gameplay.

How can one still of a static object just rendered nicely, beat a whole scene filled with characters, effects, insane animations and enviroment?
Oh well...
I have to agree with this. I have learned that games are more enjoyable and provide some really crazy levels of "photorealism" when you focus on what's going on and not looking for small details a mile away.
But thats not very smart... You re ready to accept sub full hd standard to get better graphics that will be awfully upscaled on your tv. Theres no logic...
Agree.

Instead of giving hair to space marines they give them fancy helmets. Better luck next next gen!
