Geoff Keighley teased today's announcement as "one of the more important moments this summer," and he wasn't kidding. Epic Games gave us our first glimpse at Unreal Engine 5 (UE5) working its magic. The following footage showcases some technical demos running in real-time on PlayStation 5 (PS5) Since the Xbox Series X is around 2-3 teraflops more powerful than the PS5, we can probably expect better effects on Microsoft's machine.
The demo is meant to demonstrate two core features of UE5 known as Lumen and Nanite. Lumen is a fully dynamic global illumination solution that immediately reacts to scene and light changes, according to Epic. Games Nanite is a virtualized micropolygon geometry that allows artists to create incredible geometric detail. Film-quality source art comprising hundreds of millions or billions of polygons can be imported directly into Unreal Engine, and it will just work.

Avoid it. Epic Games - the makers of UnrealEngine - is owned by TenCent, a Communist Chinese company owned by the Chinese Communist Party
Use Unity3D, CryEngine or Lumberyard
Oh, dammit, why did you have to tell me that. I love Ark Survival Evolved and that’s who makes it.
While Sweeney remains the majority shareholder, Tencent acquired a 48.4% outstanding stake, equating to 40% of total Epic, in the company in 2012, as part of an agreement aimed at moving Epic towards a games as a service model
So be a traitor to Americans and support Communist China. Idiot. TenCent was the same Communist Chinese company that had the NBA arena security remove and arrest pro-Hong Kongese Americans watching pre-season NBA

As early as 2015, some Star Citizen backers began requesting refunds from Cloud Imperium Games. According to Polygon, "an internal survey posted on the Star Citizen message boards revealed as many as 25 percent of the game's backers expressing an interest in a process for getting their money back.
Epic Games, Inc. is an American video game and software developer and publisher based in Cary, North Carolina. The company was founded by Tim Sweeney as Potomac Computer Systems in 1991, originally located in his parents' house in Potomac, Maryland.
Fortnite, being one of the biggest and most popular battle royale games, already has over 350 million registered players. With next-gen consoles on course for release later this year, Epic Games are now preparing their creation to be ready for the new hardware systems. It will only add more to the game’s immense popularity and expand its player base further.
All this technological prowess means nothing when your AAA titles are all made by woke SJWs more interested in pushing an agenda than making a fantastic game.
absolutely stunning. very nice.
as someone who started doing (very basic) graphics in the early 80s... the difference is awe inspiring
doesn’t matter who owns them. it’s quality work.
agreed
but that’s more an element of management and hiring practices then the team itself (which is the result/intention of the hiring profiles)
if you want to avoid such garbage, help fund projects whose hiring practices avoid such bs (such projects aren’t cheap)
Is this like Pong ?
Pong in a thong.
