Unreal Engine 5.2 - Next-Gen Graphics Tech Demo | State of Unreal 2023

At their State of Unreal presentation in 2023, Epic showcased the new features coming to Unreal 5.2. These new features include Substrate, a new method for handling materials, and new procedural generation tools.

[@sidekickstreams]

I'm wondering how much effort that tool is to use for the developer. Is there a bunch of tailoring and preprocessing that needs to be done on assets make them work with the system as seen?

[@jendabekCZ]

@@sidekickstreams Sure there is a lot of work of preparing the assets to behave like that. Like always everything is prepared and optimized just to make a demo impressive, but things get much more tricky in real projects.

[@StrikeNoir105E]

@@sidekickstreams Sure the base assets need work, but once you have those assets down you can then let your procedural system do the majority of the work for you. In the past, in order to make an environment this detailed you'd need to make and put each and every minor asset by hand, which would be quite tedious especially if you need to reiterate. Now you can make the base asset library, procedurally generate the environment, then just clean up the environment for final polishing. This also means you can even reuse the same assets in another work and let the procedural generation randomize the output in a way that allows you to make completely different environments even though you're working off the same asset library.

The thing is, he said that it's deterministic. So if you only had a that small section in the middle made by a human, the rest could be extracted by just some basic parameters and generation tool. You wouldn't have to ship the whole environment, just the hand made stuff and the parameters for the rest.

​@@Bareego It's like a new level of demoscene

[@avricci]

Insane. Unfortunately, my hardwares cannot handle half of that :(

[@SlightCrescent4]

We need all future racing games to use this engine, especially for off Roading and rallying

[@muhammadyousuf5441]

Looks like a perfect engine to make next uncharted game

[@perfectoryt9118]

naughty dog already as a built inhouse engine for their games, there is no need to switch engines

[@iamdmc]

@@perfectoryt9118 Naughty Dog's "OnRails" engine is far superior to anything procedurally generated...

[@coreypasternak9435]

they said they were moving on from uncharted series dude

[@betraid]

Tomb raider, Witcher, Stalker etc...

[@ThirsttyRecon]

It wont look like this, at least not without insane smoke and mirrors. The PS5 is carrying what is basically a 2070s. Naughty Dog is a Sony studio and will have to publish exclusively for the Playstation 5. So its limited to whatever hardware the console can support.

So much detail in *realtime* on one graphics card is crazy impressive!

[@SpeedDawn]

Great job ! Well done !

[@zexean]

New game engines such UE5, IW, Source2 reached peak of graphics. The only way games can evolve is animations. You saw games like Unrecod, its impressive becouse of animations.

This is unbelievably incredible. I’ve waited for this technology since the ninetendo days and can’t believe I’m finally seeing them now.

[@WhatisReal11]

what does that even mean? you have waited for this specific thing since Nintendo days? Nintendo still exists. Graphic progression is just what has happened long before and after the "Nintendo days"

That auto-generating stuff is awesome. That should hopefully make for much more rapid production of huge maps.

[@TheOfficalAndI]

of huge empty maps :p

amazing work. almost essentially real

You know it's next level when you see the Rivian front tire get's contorted by the rock beneath it giving the impression of the vehicle's weight and the hardness of the rock applying pressure to deform the tire. Usually vehicle tires in games seems to be a solid object. Some unreal gfx

[@lawray8368]

Im guessing you havent played spintires

[@marlonapowellful]

@@lawray8368 No I've never played Spintires but from the gameplay videos I've seen, it appears it was not until 2020: snowrunner that they implemented tire distortion and it doesn't seems to be as impressive as the Unreal Engine 5.2 demo implementation.

[@lawray8368]

@@marlonapowellful spintires had terrain and tire deformation, rigid body physics, articulating suspensions, and more 10 years ago

please bring this to some of the MX/atv games they could be so much better with these terrains!

[@Varganator]

WOuld be nice to see a Unreal Tournament with this graphic
