Exactly, the Matrix is tinged with a green mood palette suggestive of the early monochromatic cathode computer monitors that the Wachowski's wanted to create, so audiences could immediately identify where the action was occurring through the use of such a colour scheme. For the Real world on the Neb they tinged the lights with blue.

[@damiaanthelen5159]

@@pellyk2022 This demo is running in real time, that's a huge difference compared to CGI in movies where eacch frame takes hours to render. Also, while the matrix used CGI, it wasn't completely animated like this demo. Technology has come very far in the last 20 years.

We are getting to the point where graphics are looking weird, cause we are trully comparing it with the reality. And its awesome.

[@ashish4k07]

yes

[@AdiHazan26]

Is it?

[@kevintiba7195]

Uncanny valley much

[@Niko-vh8pj]

but we almost reached the silicon limit. No further development unfortunately.

[@TheSuperColonel]

I remember when In 1998 the "Unreal" game was considered to have awesome gfx using unreal engine 1. Our game engines have come a long way since.

[@dh66]

I was there from unreals start and their second iteration was still the same kind of low polygon count but then unreal engine 3 came out and that was a huge leap forward in visuals... And a massive hit to everyone's framerate.

[@thegadflygang5381]

I remember being in the mall and walking past an EB Games and seeing "3d0 soccer" on the TV and thinking "this is as good as it will ever get in terms of graphics"

[@iris4547]

i still hold unreal in high regard to this day. especially the music, that sound track is better than most commercial music.

LOL we are so far from that as to be laughable. Not for hundreds of years will that be possible.

[@philipecunha1342]

@@MajorJimPlays I tend to disagree. According to Moore's Law every two years a computer doubles in power. We are only a few decades away from having enough computing power to create a real life simulation.

This needs to be made into a full game. Hopefully there’s a way that it could happen

[@khroxas]

YES PLEASE

[@bern9642]

The production time with be hectic.

[@aadirajuthup]

If it becomes a full game I hope it does not become a game like cyberpunk... It needs to be released in a fully playable state... I don't really care how much time it'll take

[@LopezBOT90]

Animatrix was made way before it's true era... This literally looks like their early CGI shorts but actually playable in real time. This is the Matrix.

[@antdujar]

Agreed! Flight of the Osiris but more fully realized. We’ve come a long way since 1999/ 2003!

[@Skrenja]

*kind of real time. I speculate that because of the gameplay being so linear, limited and restricted that there are probably elements in the scene pre-rendered or that use some similar technique.

[@justajona]

This looks way much better

[@LuisManuelLealDias]

@@Skrenja no it's all real time. UE5 is that good.

[@DPSFSU]

Incredible. Although some parts still look like a video game, leaps and bounds have been made.

[@commoq3764]

We've not quite reached realism in video games yet, but this in my opinion is the step before meaning if there was something such as Unreal Engine 6 that would be video game Realism.

[@BortaMaga]

it definitely still looks far from real, but it can definitely be mistaken for a pre-rendered cinematic cutscene (I did think the scenes leading up to the gameplay was pre-rendered)

[@holycitysinner9994]

I downloaded this on my PS5, played through the demo on a 4k tv, it’s the most visually impressive thing I’ve ever seen. You can’t tell which are real and which are digital,the digital looks more realistic. Can’t wait to see what developers do with unreal engine 5. The next gen. Of gaming has finally arrived and I couldn’t be more excited. Been waiting on this for a long long time!!!!

they arent gonna do nothing with it. they rarely push these engines to their limits. which is a big reason why i stop playing games years ago. plus i got tired of every game being a shooting game
