Ok, idiot alert. After the U4 logo, i'm loaded into the outside world and can't do anything but twirl (even after entering fly into the console).
How are you guys getting your results? Is something else supposed to happen.
Sorry for such a stupid question

Wow, surprised the realistic rendering demo runs flawlessly on my 560ti and Q6600
edit
fuck, is my PC a wizard? Elemental demo ran at an almsot solid 30fps too

The 560Ti is still a capable card, and comparable to the GPUs in the new consoles, for which this engine had in mind, so it's understandable.

How can i change the time in the realistic demo?
Anyway.. my stats for elemental:
Vsync On / 1920x1080
Radeon R9 270X
Phenom II X4 965 BE
8 gigs of ram
Avg: 22.417 - Min: 18 - Max: 28
Felt strangely smooth for this framerate..

Wow, the part where the ice giant is bursting out of the wall, while standing on the ground, looking at it through the rift?
Wow. Scale, man. Scale.

Funnily enough, it ran on my DX10.1 GPU.
Some textures looked weird or unloaded but still ran at a terrible framerate.

The particle effects look great in this. I'm not sold on the assets though lol. I'm not positive I'm even running at the resolution I set it to TBH, everything looks upscaled to me, instead of downsampled like I'm used to.

You were disappointed with UE3 out of the gate? I find that curious, to be honest.
Gears of War was absolutely incredible to behold in 2006 and introduced a lot of features that we had not yet experienced in games at that point. What about it did you find unimpressive?
Decent lightmapper would have helped a lot.
For a long time only games that used Beast had decent lighting in environments. (Mirrors Edge, Mass Effect)
Yeah, same card here (running on an early I7). Was surprised how well it ran, even in a window on my dual monitor setup running a video on the second screen.
Third post in the thread, junior
Wow, not sure how i missed that. Thanks for being condescending.
So I typed "Walk" in the console, and it allows me to walk around. You can also "Fly" and "Ghost" , but I can't seem to get through the collision. Hmm, shame. Would like to check it out.
*Edit*
So, I made it into the castle! I flew out to the Ice elemental, then typed "Walk" again. Once I got to the mountains I flew again, which let me climb up. Pretty cool.

Are you running a Win64 binary under a Win32 environment? Did you download the Win64 version of the runtime redistributables?

Am I the only one disappointed by the Elemental demo? The particles and physics were good and all, but the particle count was still nowhere near the original video. There also seemed to be a lack of ambient occlusion, a lot of low poly assets and unremarkable textures.

Really? the ue3 tech demo in 2004 looked amazing
soft , fading shadows, POM, pristine image quality, no sign of texture pop in etc
It was only when games were made for it that that demo turned out to be completely false advertising

Well if anyone wants to see this on older hardware, here it is

560ti, Q6600, 8GB ram. And this was recorded with fraps so wouldve had a higher overall FPS if it wasnt for fraps

Mine's stuck on the end logo...?
Oh, wait a second, now I have a freely rotating camera in this random spot...
I'm pressing keys but I can't move around nor access any options... nor quit......nor see the benchmarks..?
Oh cool, I can use console commands. Everyone else can do this, right?
This is what happens to me too. Can't get any results.

Q6600 Stand the test of time pretty well, however I guess graphics card plays the major role.

Anyone, please?
You can open console (~) and type "stats fps". That way you will see your current fps.
If you want to measure min, max and avg fps, you just have to use fraps or another third party app, because there's no such thing in the benchmark.

Pretty good performance on a 2GB 670.
I'd say the avg fps was 45 at 1080p. I noticed my second 670 wasn't even active so if there was sli support I'd have no problem with that demo.

I managed to move somewhat freely around the Elemental demo. The biggest problem is that the no clip "ghost" mode doesn't move vertically for some reason, so getting the right height to move around is a pain.
Anyway, here's what I did (type all commands without the quotation marks):
1. To speed up the demo and not wait too long for the free camera, open the console (~ key) and type "slomo 100".
2. Once the demo ends and you're in the free camera mode, type "slomo 1". (note: If you want to slow down time, type in decimals, for example "slomo 0.1" etc.)
3. Type "walk". This will put the camera in a player walking mode and you'll instantly start to fall through the world.
4. Type "teleport". This teleports the camera to a predefined point in space, somewhere at the center of the castle, but pretty much inside the floor. However, since you're in walk mode, you will fall onto the mountains below the castle. You can now freely move around.
5. Here's the tricky part. The only way I managed to actually change my vertical position is to walk around the mountains and squiggle my way to a higher position without falling off the map. You can't jump so it makes the task a bit harder, but it's doable.
6. Once you are at a desirable height, open the console and type "ghost". Now you'll be able to walk around and through walls, so if you're at a reasonable height, you can take some nice screenshots.
If someone has an idea on how to make the camera move vertically, please share. Also, if you want the camera to move faster, you can speed up the game with "slowmo 100" which speeds up camera movement as well.
Here are some screenshots taken with FRAPS:

Every graphical feature & effect done in Gears had been done better in other Xbox 360 games before that.
Exactly. Was that tech demo ever shown running on 'real' 'everyday' computers? Because it was utter lies. If the games had looked like THAT, I'd have no problem.
Maybe this UE4 tech demo is similar? I'll eat that crow when the time comes if needed.
I have trouble remembering any specific features that were entirely new that Gears brought to the table (streaming, motion blur, heat distortion, and so on had all individually been done before), but that didn't stop Gears from being the best-looking game I had played at the time of release.
Could you give me some examples of what you're thinking of when you say that everything had been done better elsewhere?

It's the second version of the demo and not the original. There is a lot missing.
Perfect Dark Zero & Kameo had lush, higher res looking parallax mapped textures, for example. PGR3 had stunning HDR (but ran at a lower res than GoW). Heck Oblivion's HDR was better, too. PGR3 also had way higher quality motion blur...
I can't think of anything that Gears 1 that really was very up to par with other high end titles at that time, technically. The art is subjective. I know PDZ has some terrible modelling...
Dead Rising was another pre-Gears looker...

I actually thought it looked a little better in the original resolution (vs. 1080p ini fix) because the upscaling hid a lot of the seems on models and lower quality textures (in blur).
It looks really good, but not great, ya know? The thing that impressed me the most was the lava flowing down the rocks, properly lighting things dynamically along the way.

No.
Epic is probably the second biggest snake oil salesman after Ubisoft in terms of graphics. I can't believe there wasn't a larger backlash after Gears ended up looking nowhere near as good as the 2004 demo. Even Gears 2 and 3 look nowhere near as good.
I'm almost certain that commercial UE4 games will look several steps below the Elemental demo.

The developers admitted the demo was made in 2012 while the engine was still in its infancy. As cool as it is, UE4 is still quite capable of a lot more. For example, the developers said it's not using physically based rendering which is now a huge feature in UE4 and other next gen engines.
Actually it's hilarious that you say this because the newer elemental demo looks much worse than the 2012 one.
The complete lack of global illumination is the most obvious one, but lots of other effects are reduced as well. The download version in this thread is pretty much a copy of the PS4 version, and looks nowhere near as good as the 2012 original.

It's too bad Epic's Temporal AA is completely mediocre and misses some of the most basic in your face aliasing. And it's Wayyyyyyy blurry even by my standards. Seems blurry than even TXAA from what I can recall
At least compared to SGSSAA.
