As a kid playing Atari games I always wondered when graphics would be close to realism, now the point has come and it's amazing.

[@JordanDanielWende]

Ironically in a few years this will look like garbage.

[@keyboardt8276]

@@JordanDanielWende I doubt so, we've reached a point of diminishing returns such that games from a few years ago still look decent by today's standards. Unless there is a breakthrough in how immersive games are (such as touch, smell etc.) I don't think today's games will be far worse than those in a few years.

[@TheFunDimension]

It’s not yet there for real time. But motion pictures have been there for a while.

[@ruffsnap]

We're able to make static, super slow moving stuff pretty much look like real life now. Still not 1:1 realism yet, but we'll definitely reach that before too long now. However, actually making games that are faster motion that look 1:1 real are still a ways away. And like others have commented, as AR and VR takeover, we're gonna be starting from a bit backwards considering how graphics in those fields currently look compared to modern AAA games running on high end gaming computers.

This looks amazing! There's still something that feels "off" about it that I can't really pinpoint, but it's still so damn close to photorealism.

[@slippinchillin]

Agree! I personally think that either the depth of field or the viewing angle is off It’s distorted in some way that I felt like I cannot focus on the objects

[@Fishmaat404]

The contrast is set too high, it feels too punchy, too crisp

[@RFC-3514]

Several things are "off". DoF is using a fast algorithm which is just blurring the scene in screen space (and doesn't really match the places people tend to look at, though that could also be true with a real camera focused to the wrong distance). The leaves seem to be completely opaque (real leaves are slightly translucent). Also (the main problem, IMO), the plants are moving in a weird way, like there's something deforming them randomly from the inside. There's also a butterfly moving in slow motion in one of the shots (if it flapped its wings that slowly, it would fall to the ground).

[@xergiok2322]

The thing that struck me first as "not real" is the lack of translucency in the vegetation. The leaves look plastic.

[@ThaFunkster100]

Yeh I agree, its the trees. Something doesnt quite look right about them, maybe they need more discolouration on them, they are too perfect looking.

[@theunderdog9353]

Nahh, it's not. They've been able to make this in the UE for a while now, but tech just isn't far enough to actually turn it into a game and it's probably a long way off. Even a beefy 3090 Ti PC wouldn't be able to run an actual full fletched game that looks like this. It'll probably take 10 years atleast before we get close to this in actual games

[@justdev8965]

Secret of monkey Island? That's like the worst example of graphics, even for its time, it looked unbelievably ugly. That team can't even draw a square if they tried.

[@hyeve5319]

@@theunderdog9353 This particular one might be a render rather than realtime - they don't clarify - but have you seen the real time, playable demos? They get damn close to this level of graphics. Sure, it'll be a while until entire games are able to achieve this level of graphics.. but I think the tech is further along that you think. UE5's nanite and lumen are very very powerful, and far better than anything we've been able to do in realtime engines in the past. (Including in previous versions of UE)

[@user-hr2zy7ct8h]

@@hyeve5319 I've seen some gameplay footage and it was terrible. Besides the graphics those demos had nothing going for them, I wouldn't be able to feel immersed at all because the gameplay was so bad and unrealistic. If they prioritize graphics that's the future, I won't find any immersion because the gameplay, realism and everything else becomes a secondary priority when they try very hard to get a game to the next level of graphics. Combine this with the fact that game studios keep releasing unfinished games and releasing unfinished games is becoming a market standard, and you can literally make a game with real life graphics and I will be completely unphazed and bored by your game. The first step to a realistic game is the gameplay, not the graphics. Game studios are already neglecting the game play, this engine just provides more room for following badly chosen priorities.

[@hyeve5319]

​@@user-hr2zy7ct8h ...I think you missed the point somewhat. The point is that they're *able* to achieve that level of graphics in real time, in a playable demo, not just in pre-rendered sequences and cutscenes. In a full game, of course gameplay is incredibly important. In a demo, the important part is just showing what's *possible* As for the unfinished game stuff... eh, I think that's more of a problem with how the games industry works in general, rather than just because they're trying to prioritize graphics. The thing with modern, large studio games, is that they take HUGE amounts of work and money. They often have bigger budgets than full feature films. Yet, people still expect the same year-on-year releases and updates to games, despite them taking more and more and more time and work to create as they get more advanced and bigger. Hence.. there's an awful lot of crunch time. Things get released before they're really finished because the companies are forced into it by deadlines and release schedules, and developers aren't given the time to polish things properly. It's less that it's "becoming a market standard" and more that they're just not given the time needed to finish the games properly as they get bigger and bigger. Regardless, that's not really relevant to the point that UE5 is a massive step forwards in terms of real time graphics - the fact that those graphics are possible is what's impressive, what people use them for is a completely different matter.

[@tucci06]

The one thing I've been waiting for is realistic foliage. Even in the best looking games, the plants, leaves and grass are almost always comprised of flat images that disappear at certain angles. I think once they can really start making each individual leaf and twig a detailed 3D model that can be interacted with, it's going to take games to a whole new level. This looks great, but I think we're still quite a ways off from that. But imagine an RPG in VR where you can just play with the grass or pick fruit from a tree or realistically manipulate water with your hands and with objects.

[@WaveFunctionVR]

You're absolutely right. Quixel just released their foliage and trees megascans pack recently, so the next games will probably have much better looking trees. We'll give it a test soon and publish a new video focused on trees and plants.

[@Vlow52]

The only major thing left to develop is animation quality. Luckily, AI systems doing it pretty well right now and could be integrated into UE5.

[@TroenderTass]

Animations will always look like animations. Stop hoping for realistic looking games. And btw, the more realistic games become,the more boring they become.

[@Vlow52]

@@TroenderTass there is one important feature of the realism - immersive action. Our ability to identify the simulated reality is really close to adapting to some sort of setting around. If a human feels comfortable with what he sees in surroundings, the emotions for every fun, sad, unexpected or impossible action will be much more genuine. As for animations, it’s totally possible to make it look real using large AI training and some randomness, which will provide more empathy level for the npc.

[@TroenderTass]

@@Vlow52 Lol, they have been saying that for years, and it doesn't get any better. You will neve be able to have a human face look realistic, ever. People don't know what they want. Ofcourse you can bring a greater sence of emotion by making it feel real, but that is not really what gamers want. People who want to escape reality want that wich is a hole nother issue in it self. There is a reason why the n64 era with its limited graphics, still produced alot more interesting games then the copy paste games you play to day, wich you only play because of emotional issues.

[@giannis_tar]

@@TroenderTass wtf is wrong with you? Why are you even here if you hate modern gaming so much?

[@dragonessmistress227]

@@TroenderTass Having games with ultra realistic graphics isn't a bad thing. They may not have stylized visual, but that doesn't mean the game has to be set in the present or the world we live in. It could take place in the past/future, an alternate world, some place completely alien and still aim to have realistic graphics. It's just how they want to make the game look. Other games can be cell shaded, 2D or something like Borderlands, doesn't matter. It will affect the way they tell the story, but it won't make the game bad alone. I won't disagree with you on the whole "copy paste" thing. Ubisoft's been doing it for every franchise they own now and other companies' been jumping in the same hole. However, I feel like that's off topic since that's more a problem in the core gameplay element than the visuals. Personally, as long as the graphics are appealing and don't ruin my immersion, I'm fine. I like when they pull unique style, but usually when they do so it's to blend with the narration / story telling.

@@AdelaideBen1 wasnt being passive aggressive just pointing out an observation since its happened quite a few times thats all, how bout you stop white knighting?

[@AdelaideBen1]

@@internetspectator6051 firstly - who wants your observation? Secondly - you're not making an observation, you're making a judgement... huh. How about you do the single best thing to improve the internet, and stop trolling.

Imagine this in VR, ready player one experience in like 5-10 years for sure! Im guessing they will stream this via 5g to wireless glasses somehow. Exciting future =)

You will own nothing and be happy.

Holy shit. Imagine Witcher 4 with these graphics

Or GTA 6 when Rockstar gets off their lazy ass.

"Unreal offers a complete world for you to roam -- a world of incredible beauty and realism with the most detailed environments ever to grace your PC screen. In one seamless flowing world, race across vast outdoor and indoor environments, enter enchanting cities, mysterious temples, glittering mines, shattered ships, and crystal clear waters. Unreal delivers this cutting-edge realism on computers using a Pentium 166 or higher. And for those of you lucky enough to have a Pentium II, MMX technology or a video accelerator, the Unreal realms will become your reality." -Unreal 1, 1998. What a journey.

man i think i can speak for everyone, would love a tutorial on this.

[@Adam2dance]

I can arleady smell the beauty of upcoming Tomb Raider!

[@arox2962]

Zoomed out version looks so real !!! However when you zoom in.. you can tell it's not

[@mnnm1989]

I wonder why this is coming from you. So typical...

[@AdelaideBen1]

@@mnnm1989 as someone new to this channel - and not knowing any of the history / baggage... that was either super-familial, or a bit of a troll-comment. Whether the commenter has a history, the question is whether the comment is fair. If not, explain. For me - the lighting (Lumen) is the best part of this... I don't know that nanite is actually adding a lot in a cinematic. Just my opinion (from someone that doesn't use UE5)

[@elementsofphysicalreality]

The only way I could tell that this wasn’t real was that there’s no blemishes on the leaves. They’re all perfect.

[@fritmore]

Wolfenstein 3D (1994) has a competition finally? 😙

[@geo-ch6qz]

Imagine what UNREAL ENGINE 6 will look like. As if this engine doesn't look good enough already.

[@badhazen]

Out of curiosity, how long did it take you to make this one?

[@WaveFunctionVR]

About a week. Assets are mostly megascans or reused from other projects.

[@MisterGribbles]

I remember playing ADVENTURE on ATARI. In my head it was 8K full surround with all senses present.

[@zeonos]

Perfect way to get awesome digital paintings and wallpapers.

[@AustinoM]

I can already hear the egg sizzling on top of my computer trying to run this

-Ethan, you *need* to go outside! >>stares at screen

[@sevenfreem928]

it's getting crazy... awesome job

[@Monscent]

The engine seems way better at doing nature than city stuff tbh!

[@dxz3]

wow, this is well, UNREAL

[@JSBF2013]

It is necessary to change a point of view because it is still about picture details but physics and playability should be the main goal now....pictures are ok for a long time...

[@warmth_97]

Is there Sharpening added to the video in post? Looks a bit wacky on some of those initial shots

[@razielclay2448]

ONE WORD: AMAZING!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@Jamusomama]

Red dead 3 looking fine as hell

[@maxiss85]

Je ne peux m'empêcher d'imaginer un Réd Dead redemption avec des graphismes comme ça 🤩

[@planktonfighter]

Oh man the sound was amazing

[@hisfatness522]

Is there an original quality video download? Because low bitrate paired with 1080p does not make it look as impressive as it could be.

[@SoyURU_]

Red dead redemption 2 vibes 💙

[@mepik15]

Haha i showed this to my GF in fullscreen so she could not see the title, and when i told her that it's on an game engine she was like: "Really? wow i thought it was a real landscape" :D

[@EffortlessEthan]

Does it always look blurry in places or is that just youtube compression or something?

[@noiamhippyman]

It's crazy how in 3-5 years this will be outdated and there will be some new technology that jumps us ahead even more than we ever anticipated. I freakin' love technology and all the smart people making said tech.

[@flyingiguana409]

can't wait for unreal engine 6

[@asherkimball8349]

Can't wait for it's implementation

[@itsnachikethahere]

Something like Red dead redemption on the Unreal engine would be so amazing!

[@mafakka2]

what GPU will maintain 60 FPS @1080?

[@nutsaboutsquirrels553]

Nice to see a sneak preview of the next Tomb Raider! 😁😁

[@Niklasbrock]

Cool scene, but why is it so oversharpened?
