After the last tech demo which we saw about the Unreal Engine V running in PS5:

My last "what fuck that is even possible ?"



I was remembering the old couple tech demos and how every time amazed at what can still be done like for example:

Even the weak Wii have its potential


I don't know how many times I saw this tech demo in my old Xbox 360



Which do you remember maybe for the technical level achieved? or how they showed things that became standard?

 

[O-N-E]

 

[Metroiddarks]

Is little sad they are not using its engine for the FF VII remake.

 

[MisterBrimstone]

What are these 240p videos? I can't see my triangles!

 

[MCplayer]

Unreal and Sony in the begining of this gen again

I remember all those particles

 

[rofif]

Best tech demo ever next to half-life 2 e3 tech! best thing is I have both in my archives and both are playable

 

[Sub_Level]

1999 PS2 tech demo featuring a remade scene from Final Fantasy VIII, which came out for PS1 the same year.

 

[Radical_3d]

This is the most impressive tech demo ever.

Yeah those assets will be used in the Gears of War released a couple of years later.

Wow I saw model even in current games with less details great.

 

[archangelmorph]

How about a new one?

 

[Metroiddarks]

How about a new one?

With the prices of the new RTX I will be like

I would so play this. gib me

The Kororinpa series on Wii is in that vein. A marble rolls around an obstacle course level, and you control the tilt of the level with the Wiimote.

That engine was trash and caused an entire generation of Final Fantasy games to become completely derailed though lol.

I won't denied that but well I just like to see many differents engines working in different kind of AAA games.

 

[deriks]

(very shiny, and basically all become something)



(Yu Suzuki made this with Shenmue in mind)



(yes, GBA's tech demo was Yoshi Island)



(kinda nice, but very limited)



(some people say that this was in full development until Nintendo confirmed cartridges as the media)

 

[Snake29]

Unreal Engine has always been part of PlayStation presentations (3 gens already).

 

[Kupfer]

Was so blown away by this and watched it dozens of times.



Too bad it wasn't real, but still KZ2 looks amazing!

 

[Azelover]

(Yu Suzuki made this with Shenmue in mind)

The best part of that demo was the music. Pity we never got the audio in high quality..

EDIT: Here it is:

Also, don't forget Unreal engine being part of the "NGP" StayStation Vita demonstration...


(*That one, however, is probably one that's best swept under the rug...)

 

[Spukc]

Great idea for a thread OP could use a bit beter start post but def watching this one thanks.

 

[Coolwhhip]

I watched this probably a hundred times back then. So cool.

 

[CamHostage]

Even the weak Wii have its potential

Ha, I remember the times when, to a certain number of us, High Voltage Software was a bleeding-edge developer on a little, little knife.

I also remember when The Conduit HD came out on Mobile and for a quick second I went, ""How?!" before my senses came back to me that it wasn't 2009 anymore.

 

[O-N-E]

It's running on a card that'll cost you 5500 USD.

 

[VlaudTheImpaler]

How about a new one?

I really need this as a game. Please Nvidia. Include this as a demo at the very least. It's bringing back classic arcade memories. It also kind of reminds me of I Spy. Those books where my jam man. I'd get so lost in them.

 

[Metroiddarks]

The famous Mario 128

 

[deriks]

The famous Mario 128

That became Pikmin

 

[Grand Theft Scratchy]

I like the real-time demo of Shenmue running on the Sega Saturn.




The Samaritan demo is my favorite. Still pretty cool to watch even if doesn't look as technically impressive anymore.

 

[kingpotato]

After the presentation, I was watching older engine demos for unreal and came across this one which was good for a laugh. Great at the time, but they've come a long way.

 

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

What kind of retro tech demo showcase is this without Voodoo 3dfx benchmark videos?

 

[D.Final]

The Luminous Engine is still impressive even in these days

 

[Geki-D]

The Wii U graphics demo they showed at E3:


...You know, looking at the Nintendo tech demos throughout this thread you sort of realise... Nintendo, for all the love they get, sure are utter bullshit merchants with their tech demos.

 

[Psykodad]

That engine was trash and caused an entire generation of Final Fantasy games to become completely derailed though lol.

Wasn't that because the engine was originally build for PS3 architecture and then they had to adapt to X360 as well, after FF XIII went multiplatform?

the closest to a remake we had T_T so sad.

Basically different focus for different projects, I suppose

 

[ZywyPL]

Looking at previous UE demos:











There's really not much new we saw in the latest UE5 demo, just a different technology under the hood, but still similar on screen results, still unreachable for the actual games.

Literally amazing

Me too. I watched this so much back then and couldn't wait to play the next Zelda. Then I was sooooooo disappointed when I saw the visuals of Wind Waker...
I'm thoroughly over that now though. Wind Waker's visuals still hold up, this clearly does not.

One day we will review this dance also at 8K resolution.
I hope

[Kupfer]

Not exactly a tech-demo showcase video, but a playable techdemo back then was Cellfactor: Revolution. I remember playing this on a LAN Party back then and only one of us had a computer powerful enough to get this running past 10-15fps.



I thought this is it, this is the future.
In around the same time there where other playable techdemos from unreal engine I think. One was an arenashooter in which there was clothing hanging around and you could shoot holes in these clothings and even cut them by multiple holes.

Never saw this implemented in games.

 

[ghairat]

This is a cool tech demo

The Conduit HD works fine on Android 10. I finished it a few months ago.

Along with that tech demo, the E3 demo was leaked ~5 years ago.

 

[shaddam]

Oh the memories. I first saw that on a Hungarian Gamestar DVD. I couldn't imagine seeing something like this in real life Back in the days I really liked the june/july magazines. So many great news about games
