Here’s Unreal Engine 5 running on the PlayStation 5

Epic Games gives us our best look at next-gen video game graphics yet

www.polygon.com

This is next-gen: see Unreal Engine 5 running on PlayStation 5

We've seen the specs, we've heard the pitches - but what we haven't experienced is any demonstration of a genuine next-…

The funniest part of it: it's all "RTX OFF" as I have predicted.
To make cinematic level graphics you need a fast data streaming solution (SSD) and not RT.
I want to see a lot of crow eating...

 

[Sota4077]

TIL there are a lot of folks on GAF who think the Unreal Engine 5 will only be a PS5 engine.......

 

[WHOAguitarninja]

Samaritan demo was never running on an Xbox 360. It was just an advertisement for the features of the system. This is, according to Epic, actually running on a PS5.

 

[Phoebe Buffay]

Breathtaking

 

[Kenneth Haight]

This needs to be a game!

100%

looks like some crazy gravity rush shit when she was running and jumping. Holy moly that looks good. if that’s what the PS5 is doing now imagine what games will look like in a few years!

 

[Area61]

Am i the only one who though UE4 was more than enough for the next gen?

 

[Insane Metal]

Epic guy: "the speed of the I/O on the PS5 is one of the things that makes this possible"

 

[cormack12]

These are nice, but this was the PS4/UE4 overlap demo

 

[dcll]

Have these unreal engine demo videos ever had a game in the upcoming generation ever get close? And as far as gameplay this doesn't even look real playable, more like on rails

 

[Bladed Thesis]

That tech demo had more "gameplay" than the whole of MS showcase

Demo play.

 

[SidViscous]

Epic is doing a very good job of hyping up the PS5 and not just their engine, I wonder how much input Sony have had in this presentation? especially considering this one tech demo is far better than anything Xbox showed last week.

 

[Andodalf]

Hope to see a real game running in it soon, the original UE4 demo really never got matched by games.

If games are close to this though, it'll be fantastic

Have these unreal engine demo videos ever had a game in the upcoming generation ever get close?

I'd say Batman Arkham Knight was better than anything we saw for UE3

 

[Great Hair]

not gameplay

 

[leo-j]

Wow at there being ps5 gameplay on a non ps conference...... and Microsoft showed cross gen games that looked like ps4 pro games on series x.

 

[longdi]

now that is next gen!

Reminds me of Sqenix demo.

The sound effects reminds me of EAX, hmm, just environmental reverbs.

 

[Insane Metal]

Tim looks and sounds sick.

 

[Aion002]

That's incredible.

I would buy this "game". I liked everything in this video!

 

[Starfield]

How can you be blown away by a demo that sole purpose is to show rhe new tech of an engine. This doesn't resemble a game any shape or form. Maybe if it would be a walking simulator but thats it fir now

 

[The Infectious Paradox]

Not gonna watch til tonight. Was it worth the wait?

 

[Elder Legend]

Gears of War 6 will be absolutely bonkers looking when the time comes. Can't wait to see future UE games.

 

[StormCell]

Impressive. Super surprised about that date. I was told in January that UE5 was still a couple years off. Maybe they scaled MVP or maybe my buddy was just off on his estimate.
Regardless, glad to see it in action and cannot wait time see some real games using it later in the gen.

In January, a buddy of yours told you that UE5 was still a couple of years away. Full UE5 will release in late 2021. That's almost 2 years isn't it?

 

[DeepEnigma]

AND IT HAD A STARGATE TO GO TO DIFFERENT WORLDS!

WHY AM I SHOUTING?

A STARGATE!!!

 

[Insane Metal]

Also Epic Guy: "that is not just a techdemo, it's playable, replayable, and different each time you play"

 

[vpance]

Looks incredible. Saving the 4K version

 

[Sota4077]

Epic guy: "the speed of the I/O on the PS5 is one of the things that makes this possible"

Yes. But what he did NOT say was "The speed of the I/O on the PS5 is one of the things that makes this ONLY possible on the PS5"

 

[PocoJoe]

This is still fake demo. Not real... I am not getting fooled

It runs on ps5 dev kit in real time and it is replayable

 

[Spukc]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT BALLS THIS ACTUALLY LOOKED NEXT GEN
WHAT THE FUCK THEY DELIVERED ​

 

[longdi]

These are nice, but this was the PS4/UE4 overlap demo

I remember this. The PC version shits all over it. I think PS4 games eventually looked better too!

 

[baphomet]

That is ray traced.

 

[Sagii86]

Refreshing. I hope you won't turn this into another PC vs Consoles and understand we all benefit from it.

 

[GymWolf]

Is this raytraced or not?

 

[Darth]

Hell yeah, Tomb Gate PS-5, I'm sold.

 

[SidViscous]

Geoff going out of his way to confirm this is "playable / real-time" footage, no smoke and mirrors.

 

[Spukc]

this sweeny dude looks like a vampire that lives of human embryos. besides that he seems smart and all

 

[DeepEnigma]

Sweeney just said the SSD in the PS5 is the best on any platform, much better than current top end PCs, and that it's a game changer with crafting worlds, etc..

 

[dotnotbot]

meh. this is just a tech demo, not gameplay.

For reference:

this is a similar epic games unreal engine tech demo, but for unreal engine 3:




platform: xbox 360 and ps3

and now compare this demo to real gameplay from PS3/xbox 360 unreal engine games lol

That was real-time but not playable.

 

[Bryank75]

 

[Business]

The light and the geometry are fucking insane.

 

[Agnostic2020]

fuck that look amazing

 

[draliko]

Next Gen is here. Looks fucking amazing.

We are in for some treats, friends.

Sorry my bad (nesgli not my mother tongue) i mean i want the uncompressed 4k video to watch it clearly, i hate streaming service compression And this demo need to shine in all his glory!

 

[Bigfroth]

10.2 Tflops looks like shit!.... Nay that looks incredible lol .

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Tim Sweeney talking the PS5 SSD

Sweeney says that Sony’s storage architecture is far ahead of “the best SSD solution you can buy on PC today. And so it’s really exciting to be seeing the console market push forward the high-end PC market in this way.”

“[The PS5] puts a vast amount of flash memory very, very close to the processor,” says Sweeney. “So much that it really fundamentally changes the trade-offs that games can make and stream in. And that’s absolutely critical to this kind of demo,” Sweeney explained.

“This is not just a whole lot of polygons and memory. It’s also a lot of polygons being loaded every frame as you walk around through the environment and this sort of detail you don’t see in the world would absolutely not be possible at any scale without these breakthroughs that Sony’s made.”

 

[psorcerer]

That is ray traced.

Hardware accelerated ray tracing will be supported in Unreal Engine 5, for example, but it's not a part of the PS5 tech demo revealed today.

 

[Manus]

How many times have they said triangles?

 

[Insane Metal]

Sweeney just said the SSD in the PS5 is the best on any platform, much better than current top end PCs, and that it's a game changer with crafting worlds, etc..

He literally said it blows any other architecture out of the water. I heard it.

 

[Bergoglio]

Gimme more teraflops

 

[Lux77]

This is some kind of sorcery.
This technology will simplify asset creation on a whole new level.

 

[longdi]

UE5 demo is sharper because of megascan textures, but Agni demo is more exciting!

 

[HE1NZ]

BORING

 

[DeepEnigma]

Nanite technology will run on both next gen consoles and high end PC. Won't be a mid-rage thing.
