Man, those places have to be beautiful.

I live in Arizona. The colors I once saw coming off of a RV that was on fire in the middle of an intersection were amazing.

 

[Fake]

We still in 4.25 but exists some programs where they taste some new features I think, Gears already did it so is possible they have a more advance version.

What was the jump between engine version on Gears 5? Is Gears 5 you're talking, right?

[Agnostic2020]

I thought it was just 4 but found it amusing he seems to imply it is using 5.0

Ue5 is not out till 2021 though. So hell blade 2 is running probably on 4.2

 

[Radical_3d]

Devs are used to change their engine while making a game?

Short answer? No.
Long answer? Noooooooooooooooooo.

I hope someone at Ubisoft gets the freaking memo.

I was commenting this with a dev and said exactly the same as in the Era comment. We were discussing its impact in jobs demand. And about Ubisoft…

Spoiler

… sorry. NDA.

I don't think he said that, just that their studios are using the engine. He cannot wait for them to use UE5.

I don't remember exactly if they mentioned but DF mention a couple of new features employee in Gears 5 for UE as this kind of project can take years is not strange
Epic left to some studios to taste a new feature, even you can use a early version of the engine is normal to see this in game engines.

 

[Uzupedro]

Oof

 

[DeepEnigma]

They mentioned that on the DF analysis right. I'm actually wondering if Guerrilla have come up with a better implementation of CB rendering for their next game. I personally think native 4k, especially on consoles isn't a good use of resources.

I completely agree. At first when these techniques were announced, I was defiant coming from PC gaming and being a “native purist”. Mainly due to some dynamic implementations were awful early on.

I have done around to them big time after seeing some of the better reconstruction techniques and how discernible it can be to native. I am all for this if it leaves more room to pump up the fidelity, assets, and other effects.

sounds more like another comment from Phil's PR book. in his comment i see two comments, one is until And and second part is after that. they are trying so hard with #metoo movement.
at this point in time even if PS5 would fart, Phil and greenberg would came out and would say, me too, our fart even has the Exclusive sound

 

[Insane Metal]

Oof

The world's most powerful console with an SSD that is less than half the speed of the one on the PS5, which is exactly what made it possible to use 8K textures and such.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Oof

Oh, Aaron. Never change.

 

[saintjules]

Oof

Reminds me when they tried to show their Controller again after Sony did with their DualSense announcement. Playing catchup.

 

[Fake]

I rewatching the Geoff video of Unreal Engine 5. Was a PS5 devkit, not a final PS5 he was talking about.

 

[Killer Sakoman]

From the DF article

""The key features we're debuting will work across all of the next generation console platforms," adds Sweeney. "We don't have performance comparisons, we can't share performance comparisons, but this is a feature set you can count on with that generation, particularly micro polygon geometry with the Nanite technology and real-time global illumination with Lumen." "

AGAIN.. broken record...

The PS5 theoretically can throw denser models and more textures around... at double the speed. But is it realistic to expect considering what that does to game size? I really really REALLY want to know how big file size was that demo was, and if to realistically get the game built like that on PS5 they'd have to lower the triangle count anyways.

Tim said this what possible on the absolute best hardware ( PS5). Watch at 20:30

Ps5 will have more detailed scene thanks to the crazy fast ssd but xsx will have less detailed texture in the scenes at 20% higher resolution frame buffer. So u see better and more Clear how bad it look compared to ps5

Jk

at least this kill the nitpicking about MS claiming they have the most powerful console or not.

 

[FranXico]

According to the quoted tweet, UE5.

No. He just said they are already using Unreal. But for sure, they will adopt UE5 as soon as possible.

many of our XGS studios are using Unreal, like the team at Ninja Theory creating Hellblade II, and are excited to bring these UE5 innovations to life on Xbox Series X.

 

[Radical_3d]

This demo at 1700p in the SX must be impressive. I guess we’ll se something like this in July.

Don't worry about the native resolution. Temporal injection used here is amazing and outcome is as good as native 4k . Go play ratchet and clanck on pro Nd it uses the same technique to get to 4k . Its amazing

I don’t know what generation 10 will be fought with but generation 9 will be fought with triangles and pixels. ~Albert Einstein

 

[DeepEnigma]

It’s dynamic reconstruction to 4K, not native. It just hit 1440p more often. That means one will hit that number less often.

 

[ZeroFool]

I thought it was just 4 but found it amusing he seems to imply it is using 5.0

No doubt the first party have access to alpha builds of UE5, but I can't imagine any launch games using anything beyond 4.25. However, they could of course have access to UE5 features in their builds. I have not done anything since UE3 so I am fully out of the loop. So just hopeful wild wishful pretty please speculating on my part.

Love it. Ps fans will have billions and billions of triangles thanks to ssd

At least in the Vimeo version on 65” I see a little of shimmering. Some sub-pixels problems here and there.

My Pro is broken. I can’t play anything on it

 

[Games Dean]

I never thought HB2 was coming until 2022 at the earliest so it wouldn't surprise me if by the time it comes it's running on UE 5. But by no means can you read that tweet and assume that means they're CURRENTLY working on UE5. No one is.

 

[Radical_3d]

1440 X 1,18 = 1700. That’s what I implied. This will escalate very well with VRS. Pushing waaaay less triangles where the algorithm decides to use sub-HD resolutions.

 

[THE:MILKMAN]

Dunno, but UE5 will release on the end of 2021. That why I asking. I never heard of such a huge engine shift like that (version between version). UE5 don't even have official support for next gen yet, just 4.5

From this quote in the DF article it doesn't seem like a big issue?

"We're on Unreal Engine 4.25 right now, which is the 25th in its series," he says. "And in upgrading to the UE5, the cost to developers and the complexity will be like going through a few of these minor version updates, which most developers go through every few months. We want to bring the community along and bring them along quickly so that you don't have stragglers who are stuck with previous generation features years from now."

Virtually every UE game made this gen as gone through multiple updates of UE4 in a 3-5 year dev cycle and they say moving over to UE5 is similar to a few new versions of UE4.

Has anyone talked about the audio in the demo?? I see mostly ppl talking about visuals etc... But dude the audio is next level it seem the tempest engine is doing amazing.

By the way, new RedGamingTech video claims L3 cache in PS5 CPU is common between the two ZEN cpu CCXs, avoiding infinity fabric accesses to share data between them and so improving the cpu latency, a feature of future Zen 3 cpu:

Thats not correct

1440p has 2560 x 1440 =3,686,400 pixels
18% more Pixel means 4,349,952 which is around 1580p

 

[Uzupedro]

Holy shit, has already reached the 130 thousand likes mark, I know that for some numbers of likes, RT or views it can be silly to pay attention (and I even understand why), but these numbers are at least impressive. Imagine when the PS5 is revealed.

[BGs]

Was Hellblade II using Unreal Engine 4 or 4.5?

At the time of the presentation in 2019 it was UE4.x (surely, as the tweet says, it would end up benefiting from some features of UE5, but it is not clear that they have started the migration yet).

Yeah, the spatial audio rendering was amazing.

Keighley is getting a bit feisty online. I wouldn't say power trip, but?

 

[ANIMAL1975]

Wrong
It's running on some early devkit.

you are trying so hard. have you some stocks in m$? or Phil is your father?

yes, rocks are brown, that is so wrong, it should be rainbows and sunshines, and pink, more pink. dust should be like gold. yeah, bad palette, reality is wrong.

We need to start a crowd funding campaign to get @Bo_Hazem out painting his local rocks pretty colours for the sake of next gen gaming.

Oof

Next standard coming in 5...4...3...2...

This gave me a good chuckle for 10 seconds straight

Well deserved. We bashed him enough for the PC gaming show and the grampa on a skate. He deserves the glory, now.

I remember when the mind-blowing new tech was parallax scrolling.

Normal maps are not more necesary!. Suddenly a lot of shader resources dedicated to fake geometry are freed!.

You must be so young that you though Handy Fake was talking about parallax occlusion mappings. Sadly for him and for me, it’s something waaaay older.

Yes he said the absolute best hardware available by end of this year. I am surprised no one reporting this.

Sad times indeed. I'm going to start referring to every console as "Nintendos" next year, as decreed by the Council of Elders, before I'm taken to a mountain top to slowly die of exposure.

 

[amstradcpc]

But SSD speed is not good for improving open worlds!. See here, it not only improves open worlds, but closed spaces too, and allows almost a triangle per pixel!.
The good thing is who is going to argue Tim Sweeney!.

 

[DForce]

Devs have been saying it's going to be a gamer changer for months, but you have a few people on social media such as Dee, Dealer and Colteastwood misleading the entire fan base, telling them it's not going to do anything but load games faster.

 

[Radical_3d]

I can confirm you that we have 4G at the top of the mountain.
