Doesn't matter if the engine causes your CPU to explode.

and you can actually crash on cars and cause incidents, sp2 traffic simulation is all smoke and mirrors with zero interaction whatsoever.

The first part of this video is what I expected from this generation. A banger 30fps title that looks miles ahead of what Uncharted 4 looks. Not a 60fps Uncharted 4 like the whole generation. Don’t get me wrong, I love my 60fps generation but I want a good ol’ game designed with 30 in mind. 30 also in the Pro, even. Doesn’t matter if there is CPU headroom. Suffocate that GPU!

This must be a software based effect then? PS5 (and Pro?) uses software Lumen, so that's probably true for this as well.
So then I wonder if Mega Light has a hardware ray tracing based implementation that speeds it up or raises the ceiling on how many you can have at the same time? Or maybe it's only raster based anyway? So many questions.

Matrix used hardware lumen. Ps5 can support hardware lumen

That's right! Completely slipped my mind. We need to get this tech in hand and find out how it runs on different GPUs, and on consoles. Wonder if they're using hardware then in order to get the accuracy in the demo. 30fps gives them a lot of ms headroom which I'm sure they're using to get this result.
It's impressive for sure.

A lot of people here don’t play Fortnite but it often receives these tech upgrades. I look forward to seeing the next graphics update with this new version.

That is the CELL factor mostly, it had many unique advantages in the hands of talented developers.This is what games for the PS5 generation was supposed to always look like. This shouldn't be a surprise.
Remember when devs used to have their own engines and they used to innovate on the new generation hardware? I remember when Gurellia started talking about them using a deferred rendering technique that made Killzone 2 look amazing.
These devs used to want to push things as far as possible. This was Killzone 2 on the freaking PS3!!!! With only 256 MBs of RAM for GOD's SAKE!

Exactly this. Amy Henning's Marvel game looks like this as an example.
True, the CELL was a beast but it had so many limitations that the devs worked hard to exploit. It just doesn't feel like most big time devs are working to exploit these current consoles. Maybe it's due to cross gen games lasting years longer than most thought they should.

Ze monkey game is using nanite I'm pretty sure, just not for the vegetation.

5.5 is right on time for the last FF VII R installment. No excuses Square. They better go all in on UE5.

Some great looking shots there. Especially the outdoor scenes, the lighting really pops in those. Hopefully we'll get some games that can hit this level.

Amy's game, 1943, is the most visually impressive gen 9 project so far.
It's basically what I was expecting for all next gen (current gen) games to look like. I think devs have been distracted by 60 fps, open world and GaaS. I want games that prioritize visuals. Amy is dunking on everyone right now and it's not even close.

Day one Epic MegaGames fan here, I’ve never seen a developer match their quality on the Unreal Engine. The only developers that closed the gap was Ubisoft Montreal back in the day and Rocksteady.
If Epic Games wanted to they could make a game right now with this visual quality on the PC, but they are not going to fit the bill for it (it’s too risky). I can guarantee you Epic Games is going to ride out Fortnite solely for the next ten years, hope I’m wrong.

What? tons of excuses, switching engines mid dev on a sequel that has a decade of custom tech is asking to run into issues that could delay your game years combined with needing to learn the new tech in the first place.
Don't get me wrong, I'm willing to wait 7 more years for the next installment, but not everyone is.

Honestly, it wholly depends on how forward thinking Square was with development and how much requirements they had that forced them to touch the core engine. Custom tech does not equal hard to upgrade engine. If you made sure to use plugins as much as possible, upgrading is *relativey* easy. If you touch core engine code, it can be very hard.
I don't think we have reasonable insight here. But both options are possible.

As always… there is a catch 
.
Ghosting, ghosting, and more ghosting. UE 5.x continues the tradition of perfect for marketing but less than perfect in use…
