Epic Pimps Unreal Engine 4, With Pictures

[realOne]

The difference from Unreal 3.9 (shown in Samaritan tech demo) to Unreal 4 isn't really a huge leap as people might expect. I mean sure Unreal 4 was written from scratch to give a better performance on future hardware/future APIs (eg. DX12) and using all the visual techniques that are present from unreal 3.9. DX11 MSAA Hair, DX11 Subsurface Scattering, DX11 Enhanced Bloom, Apex Clothing (physics), HD shadows, Bokeh depth of field, Shadowed point light reflections, DX11 Tessellation and displacement, DX11 Deferred rendering with MSAA support, DX11 Image Based reflections, real-time colour grading, Cascaded shadow mapping and much much more. There's also the new tools for developers to make it more efficient then before.

It looks pretty awsome, i don't know what you guys are expecting lol They can only do whats available with the technology out. The unreal engines are always great

Looks really average - surprised if anyone familiar with recent PC games is impressed.

Would like to see it doing something other than tired old ruined fantasy setting with demon.

You can't expect RL quality from current hardware. We are still way off from that kind of True HD RL technology.

Crysis from 2007 looks a lot more like RL than Unreal Engine 4, or at least those screen shots. My point was more that it still has a very gamey look imo.

Yeah this demo doesn't really show off its true potential, Give it to some well known developers and see how the magic comes to life.
