Everyone looks like the Scout, but I have to say, I like the look as well.

True, I was just trying to make a point about the "gross Unreal sheen" the other guy was referring to. It's definitely a similar look but has enough diffs to standout.
That was the first thing I noticed
People were saying that about the UE4 tech demo as well, until they demoed the particle, lighting and destruction physics. Hopefully this will be full of that stuff.
The artstyle looks very similar to Bloody Good Time, but nobody remembers that game. RIP Outerlight
You fail to realize the part about Unreal Engine 4.

so we finally reached Toy Story graphics
Not yet. Unless you ignore image quality

Looks close, but some edges still can be spotted if you look for them.

Looks good to me, but with a style like this it'll be the animation quality that makes or breaks it.

Considering they can't even get hands holding weapons right in 2 of those bullshots, I'm not expecting much. Zombie textures looks pretty bad too. I'm hoping the gameplay is great, love me some coop zombie base building. Played die2nite for a few months, was great.
not anatomically correct, I guess!!

I like how because everyone complained that unreal 3 got rid of colorin games they show a colorful game to show off unreal 4! +1 epic megagames

Probably not a big shock but according to Cliff's Twitter:
So not necessarily exclusive. Pretty much confirms next gen hardware.

looks like a saturday morning cartoon. Is this a defence tower game? I wish it were a team fortress 2 type shooter.

That's a lot of colors coming from Epic.

They'd be stupid to not allow it on the next Xbox. Even if it's behind Gold or whatever.
Nah man, "emotion engine." Sony already nailed that shit.....could launch missles too.

In terms of overall image quality, maybe. Lighting and certain shading techniques certainly look better in real-time now than the stuff you found in Toy Story.
Looks and sounds pretty great. So weird that it's PC exclusive, I think that guarantees it is F2P or it would be on the nextgen systems. Nice to see Epic back in the PC fold. Maybe consoles are dying sooner than people think if a company like Epic is releasing PC and iOS exclusives. Must want to get more of the type of money Infinity Blade brings them in.
Seriously this is one of my most anticipated games right now.
I love the concept of it. The survival aspect of Minecraft was always my favorite part, it just felt underdeveloped.
If the survival aspect of this is the focus, and they do it well, with a better building/crafting system than Minecraft, then I am there Day 1.
Also, this has to be PC exclusive or next gen. There is no way current consoles could run a game like this with the intricate building they have talked about.

Naw, still some years away. Try again maybe, 2016?
I can't wait when we could have games that look just as good as Toy Story 3.

Yup, prman was really limited in lighting techniques. Toy Story only really excels in a handful of areas. Mostly it's just the fact that it's crisp and beautifully animated. Game animation systems need to step up and that's something I'm looking for in UE4.
I don't really think Fortnite is a game that is going to flex UE4's muscles. I think it's the game Epic's artists want to make coupled with already successful concepts. It'll probably have great lighting, and some fancy particles but it's driven by the art not the tools. And I think Gears probably was too, way back when what it did wasn't done to death.

Depends. How many games have light that decays/intensifies? Toy story also had some impressive material effects. Like the copper on the R/C car actually reflects light as according to its properties.

AA seems to be the #1 bottleneck blocking graphics like that. It's always fucking AA/jaggies that's the problem, am I right? I'm not sure the smoothness of that pic and other CG movies will be achieved unless there's some revolutionary new solution to needing AA.
Yes, this definitely looks Valve-ish.
Then there's that whole problem of ray-tracing.
Too true. You look at the textures and stuff of that pic and it's nothing impressive. The modeling like on the bed post is perfectly round but that can be achieved with more polygon pushing power and tessellation. The smoothness however, man, even those supersampled screens with tons of AA you see in the PC screenshot thread don't come close to it.
