New Unreal Engine 5.4 Tech Demos look SUPER PHOTOREALISTIC | This is How TOMB RAIDER 4 Will Look!

[@islandonlinenews]

This video is a lesson to all game devs. Audio is 1/2 of the experience.

[@luvmaika]

I suspect it is a dwarf with a camera on a stick that is walking around. The steps don't match the speed at which it is moving.

[@corentinguillo5577]

Now at least it makes sense

[@Nanarchy_2k7]

I was thinking more an 8yo that didn't get a cookie, but yeah.

[@cliveruffle6016]

First three-legged explorer...

[@bizarro_raven]

This is exactly what I was thinking!

[@Darksagan]

Thats all you took away from this amazing looking demo. Sad

[@davegreen4995]

If my foot steps were really that loud in real life I would stop walking. Good grief that’s annoying.

[@carveratutube]

On top, they sound totally unrealistic 😂

[@Vidrohi-z4u]

@@Am94514 for your mother it's not annoying

[@gart555]

they are too frequent, but this is just a demonstration of the possibilities and the result is really good

[@guguigugu]

its like the games from the 90s

[@jimcrozier3785]

You obviously haven't played gears 5. Kait's footsteps have destroyed the game for me.

[@miscme7116]

The reverb on the footsteps in outside conditions... I am dead.

[@scootsmcgoots]

I think the footsteps need to be doubled in volume and way, way more reverb, especially in outdoor, open locations, like wayyy up the reverb maybe even triple the volume of the footsteps. Then it would be perfect.

[@bertilorickardspelar]

I see what you did there. There should of course also be more of them.

[@Vikingcat01]

I think it's a Hobbit wearing agonizing high heels trying not to fall over.

[@andrasbradacs6016]

So then today's games already have photorealistic graphics. Now all they lack is the gaming experience and the soul...

[@ratcat7668]

exactly. I'm playing Atomic heart in VR with UEVR - Amazing graphics UE5 I think but its missing something. I had much more fun playing No-one lives forever and Prey 2006 in VR.

[@leeuniverse]

The last 3 Tomb Raiders I thought had good soul. I mean they were an absolutely amazing experience to me, especially the second one and slightly less so the last one. So did Jedi Fallen Order, though Survivor is kinda sucking so far, too much "open world" and gathering type of play rather than a "Star Wars" experience and Soul like Fallen Order felt. I'm really liking the "Movie" type of experience in gaming.... really FEELING stuff. Good Graphics are an important part of the experience. I can't stand many games that might be good today look like they were made with 20 years ago Graphics. I just have no interest in playing them. I already lived through 20 years ago. Don't with it LOL.

[@andrasbradacs6016]

@@leeuniverse I’m not saying that there are no exceptions. For example I really loved the story of the “second” COD series (5, BO,BO2), but I just remember that back in the 00’s only a few games came out in a year and we just waiting for them as some kind of messiah… they were finished, well created games. Nowadays, games come almost on an assembly line, in a half-finished state and they are almost the same with different sets of models. The best part is that the alpha games are also thrown out as if they are ready, they charge a lot of money for them and they don't provide anywhere near the experience they are supposed to provide...

[@RossieKgan]

Pity about the foot step audio - doesnt match the walking speed and sound comes from left then right?? Remove that.

[@EC-mg4gb]

Looks nothing like the Croft manor. In fact I don't even think there's a single thing about Tomb Raider in this video

[@MISTERLeSkid]

Ever see those Boston Dynamics robot dogs that are constantly stepping even when they're not moving? I wonder why that comes to mind within 15 seconds of watching this.

[@RamblinRick_]

I noted there are no collision meshes for the plants. He walked through branches instead of pushing them out of the way. Now, can this be rendered in-game in real time on a moderate gaming rig? Or, will you need that RTX 4090. Perhaps even the announced RTX 50xx series.

[@MrOgger151]

Zero movement on plants makes it not so realistic. Like everything was frozen in place.

[@MarkMiller74]

Nowadays there are games with very similar quality; in fact, it's increasingly less noticeable with the new graphics engines. I believe that in another generation, there won't really be any difference. We are very close to photorealism already. When it truly arrives and you can play in 4K at a good frame rate, what will come next? 8K, 20K? There are fewer and fewer real options that are genuinely surprising to want to raise the graphical level. There will come a time in a short period when graphics card manufacturers will find it truly difficult to convince us that more is better. Everything has a limit. I've always said there's no real practical difference in drinking water from a gold faucet. The same will happen with everything; we'll realize that something we can't appreciate isn't necessary. Is there really a real and tangible difference that a human can appreciate between seeing something in 4K or 8K? They'll probably sell us ray tracing 4.0, 5.0, and similarly nonsensical things

[@mrk-ism]

will likely go into immersion like VR which needs a lot of processing power

[@Viscte]

We're a VERY long way from replicating the colors your eyes can perceive. HDR does nothing.

[@MarkMiller74]

@@Viscte I don't think replicating colors requires as much computing power as high-resolution textures or playing games in 4K or 8K. We're not too far from achieving maximum realism. Maybe just a couple more generations will be enough. Beyond that, it'll just be wasting money and following cheap marketing trends. I still enjoy good games that came out five years ago, and I don't find anything lacking in them compared to some of the current ones. The technical gap between them is getting smaller and smaller.

[@guguigugu]

we dont have the hardware for this. the latest GPUs still struggle to get playable framerates at 4K Ultra. maybe they can invent a new kind of SLI and chain four 4090s together, but whos gonna buy that in this economy?

[@NextWorldVR]

​@@MarkMiller74 I think he was referring more to dynamic range than colors...

[@Dayrador]

(0:21) i missing animals. Insects (dragon flys, water strider) Birds. (15:07) missing insects clouds (18:14)an idea, if possible: You raise a skybox, with numbers of animals, so thats the bats can use the whole cave, And not only selectively as a cloud, which works for insects, but bats are more flexible. (7:52) false sound, water splashing (hear stone ground) (17:33) puddles (12:39) Missing way up to the fire bowl (8:57) on balcony.

[@Schona110]

180 steps in clogs…to move 2 metres.😢

[@sonorousbelchpipe1021]

Laurar Croft would be in her 90's or early 100's to have so much desolation and decay suffered by her homestead. Is that the next Tomb Raider installment? Centenarian Laura goes on a daring quest to find her missing hearing aids! Watch as Laura attempts to throw her grappling hook while trying to avoid throwing her hip! New platforming dynamic - attempting to jump dangerous gaps with a walker!

[@JaroAtry]

I wouldn't say it's exactly photorealistic, but it's amazing how detailed these levels are.

[@bettsybungle]

Need to work on that foot step pacing! For how slow the “walking” is, those feet seem to be in overdrive and going nowhere fast (and probably a bit too loud)

[@danvorph212]

Sick realistic GRAPHICS !!!!!!!!

[@SnowDaulphin]

Amazing. Thanks for sharing.

[@AntMilt1]

Wish full blown video games can look like this.

[@Darksagan]

Looks absolutely amazing...and yet the only thing people are talking about is the walking.

[@renetr6771]

The sound is important for a good immersion. We have tons of great looking, prerendered scenes. That is cool, but means nothing if you can't do it in real time, or if there is something anoying what destroys the realism, like steps what absolutely not match the speed.

[@EC-mg4gb]

Because it ruins everything??

[@perfectionbox]

A postprocessing shader that randomly shifts the color of each screen pixel in tiny amounts would be helpful, keep things from looking so static. Or micro camera jitter.

[@isabelleprod8215]

Wow ❤j'adore! C'est ultra réaliste!😃 on se croirais dans une vidéo urbex dans les lieux mystiques et abandonnées!😆

[@gio62xd]

Bellissimo! Noi aspettiamo con ansia il nuovo gioco, speriamo che presto arrivino novità !

[@Spacecoke]

the player character in the first video takes realy real short but fast steps... if only people spent as much time on the sound as they do the graphics.

[@Lia-A-Eastwood]

Egypt looks so Talos Principle with that metal figure walking.

[@ratcat7668]

I'm playing Talos Principle 2 in VR with the UEVR mod but its kinda blurry. I suspect 5.4 will be even worse however 'High on life' in UE 4 works absolutely perfectly. Seems the more sophisticated the engine the worse it looks in VR (if modded) but the Half-lie 2 mod looks amazing. Thats the Source engine though.

[@snap-n-shoot]

Why is there someone with coconuts walking behind her....?

[@saffetdoga9313]

Normally I pass to 15 seconds while just walking into map but incredibly I didnt pass abondend day.Perfect map design

[@CodeNameDoug]

The visual update is encouraging. As 1,2 &3 were classics, I appreciate the dedication to authenticity. But 4, 5 and AoD were flawed. The Devs should take more freedom and liberties with there remasters. (For example, Lora should be given a way to beat Anubis that doesn't involve the death of Lora. IMMHO). Upping the graphics is a nice step, so long as the grid based platforming is preserved.

[@mrk-ism]

wow that temple is so well made it's creepy

[@Dreamazium]

Looks great!

[@flipwarrior]

Looks so realistic, especially with how the leaves like you were high off acid.

[@ShinySilvery]

Nice looking environments, with an invisible Lara walking around … hopefully if something like this happens, a viable third person Lara is in sight.

[@channelvr1293]

Seen enough tech demos for a lifetime...where are the actual games. Pfff

[@Satrina777]

Goes without saying, it's beautiful.. My only concern would be the homogenization of games via photorealism. They don't _ALL_ need to look like this to be visually impressive, obviously. Even Nintendo started getting weird with certain assets in more recent games that don't feel like they belong.

[@CheetahLayri]

Hi, fire energy balls from "Portal" :)

[@thinkdifferent01]

Nice graphic but you have to watch this video with 2x speed and 0% sound.

[@Ximonic]

With 2x speed it sounds pretty close to Minecraft.

[@nelliusbrown2014]

Hopefully we will get these graphics with PS6. This looks like a moderate graphical leap

[@iamcarbonandotherbits.8039]

Sounds like a toddler taking their first steps.

[@اجملافلاممسلسلاتتركيةوعروضالمص]

It looks like a movie

[@PhotoJohn80]

Nighttime sure is bright

[@wojciechsura]

The demo is impressive, but I'll consider TR only if they drop this absurd open-world-crafting-survival thing and return to the original exploring-with-solving-riddles-and-occasional-fight theme, which simply worked. The last *real* TRs I consider are Legend, Underworld and Anniversary.

[@АлексейГорбунов-ь1э]

@@wojciechsura what are you talking about? Last Tomb Raider (Shadow of the Tomb Raider) has more exploring and riddles than Legend, Underworld and Anniversary put together.

[@hansrichter5607]

Das Wasser läuft in echtzeit und die Blätter fallen in Zeitlupe - das macht jeden Realismus für den Popo!

[@Xyz12391]

When are they going to give the plants depth. Especially the leaves. Having leaves that are paper thin doesn't make any sense. Seems like we would have figured this out by now. Otherwise, this is great!

[@JTW3D]

Having double sided leaves would give so much issues in terms of computing power. As well as visually it would not look as good as you think it would.

[@sarpersaridal5396]

are there any fps with this level of graphics. or third person game... can we have enemy within this technology or we just fool around ? ok if no will it be possible to play any first or third person at this graphic level in 2 years?

[@abbedego]

Abandoned? Who lit the candles?

[@roozief9349]

Huge croft fan, and it all looks good, but you put that much into graphics, and in my opinion, the games end up suffering, plus this is nothing like croft Manor, I get it's a demo but if it was the game be cool to restore it as you play

[@erico7430]

the movement is like your drunk

[@Ccodebits]

Someone help! These games are starting to look so much like real life, I can't even get excited about graphics anymore.

[@iikatinggangsengii2471]

theyres huge difference in watching and actually playing, not being elitist but playing while enjoying good graphics really satisfying experience

[@iikatinggangsengii2471]

good entertainment/recreational activities, sort of rewarding your hard work, just watching sure fun too but usually you dont get the details and hz smooth experience

[@RMKry]

Well this is tech demo so we wait 10 years for this quality in real games.

The sound of the foot steps are too frequent compared to the speed you walk. Not really good, but i guess it's not about the full impression, just graphics.

[@Jean-RémyCielsky]

Les pas vont trop vite par rapport à la vitesse de déplacement... Ou alors Lara mesure 1m30^^... C'est dingue une telle qualité d'image et dans le même temps une erreur aussi grossière dans le traitement du bruit des pas par rapport au déroulé de l'image. Si "Tomb Raider" m'a bien appris une chose, c'est que le son et la BO sont tout aussi important que l'image et, qu'ils doivent être absolument en adéquation.

[@jamesgravil9162]

"This is how Tomb Raider 4 will look" I doubt it.

[@nathaniel1680]

Why is the camera movement so linear ?

Are there compiled demos for download? Want to go there in VR. []-)

[@iiiDartsiii]

serious talent with the amazing scenery, but the walking and footsteps sounds completely ruins the immersion.

[@ItZJohn117]

Beautiful but empty. I would rather have a living game, great physics, trees moving, interact with the scenery, make the map evolved by my actions ect than an empty beautiful game. Wish they made as much progress in this matter as they done in visuals in the past years.

[@iikatinggangsengii2471]

they know whats best and really theyre gifts from their spare times they do look like hardwork since theyre being done to actually can be played on current hardwares, unlike the desktop pc which can do whatever basically

[@peterwhy8032]

Agreed; not a movement of a leaf from the breeze, not a ripple on the pools of water.

[@OrionLaerithryn]

Impressive visuals but the audio needs work, the footsteps are too prominent (often like a drum beat) breaking immersion. But otherwise still very impressive.

[@adambicho]

wher download this demo...?

Crysis 4 should at least look this good.😊

[@iikatinggangsengii2471]

im already happy if i can exit the game peacefully

Unreal Engine is CLEARLY the "Gold Standard".... I wish ALL games that were anything to talk about was made with it. I'm honestly tired all all the junk games that I just don't want to play because it's like I'm looking at something from 20 years ago, even IF the game itself could have some promise. I lived through 20 years ago already, done with it, just like I'm NOT going to Tolerate using "Dial-Up".... LOL
