Holy shit.

I just realized that the Unreal Engine 5 tech demo came out FIVE (5) years ago.

I haven't seen any games since then that even come close to going what it showcased.

Hell, I haven't seen any games that even come close to DICE Battlefront games and the last one came out in 2017!

What the FUCK happened?

Dune Awakening comes close

Do you think they literally bought the assets shown in the 2020 trailer?

>bought the assets
Epic gave them away for free

Christ. Can Funcom make *anything* original or do they just steal everything?

>tech demo shows unrealistic visual quality
:O this has never happened before

Holy shit OP you may be onto something here.

Silent Hill 2 looks better if you're playing on pc.
>Dice games
No

How long did Epic spend making that demo? A week? A month? Six months? A year? For 10 minutes of "gameplay"? A game dev that tried to make a whole game at that quality would take longer to complete than Duke Nukem Forever.

>all that fucking fog
this isn't what the world is meant to look like.

>>716232105 (OP)
its a matter of making a small demo vs making a whole game which would take ~20x the dev time and disk space
also note how it uses the same material everywhere just with lots of small clutter, so it still looks like brown noise

It is pretty unreal I know.
