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

Thanks for the warning...

Do video makers deliberately make the characters walk the way they show in video games as unnatural along with the lighting that is all wrong?

PS5 Better Than Top-End Gaming PCs, Says Epic Games Boss

Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney had nothing but high praise for the PS5’s hardware during the Unreal Engine 5 event. “The hardware that Sony is launching is absolutely phenomenal,” he said while describing the console. “Not only an unprecedented amount of graphics power, but also a completely new storage architecture that blows past architectures out of the water, and it’s so far ahead of even the state-of-the-art in the highest-end PCs you can buy.” He went on to state that the PS5 will allow developers to create “the types of content we’ve only dreamed of in the past” and that “the world of loading screens is over and the days of geometry pop-in as you go through these games’ environments are ended.”

the event was viewed by far more people than could ever pack into even the largest concert venue. Epic Games said 12.3 million concurrent players participated, a new record for the game.
