Playstation 5 Next gen graphics demo in uneal engine 5

[The Chairmaker]

This gives some idea of what PS5 can output.

The graphics demo starts around 1 minute 30 in and then builds to show what it can handle.

Detail level is impressive as is lighting and draw distance which you see near the end of the video.

The Unreal Engine sure has come a long way since it's original incarnation.

I like that they couldn't resist the "It just works" jab at nVidia.

But damn. This looks really impressive.
And I want this to be a game goddammit! Either make it into a new Tomb Raider or or just leave this chick in, I don't care. I want to play it!

Very impressive and if it speeds up and simplifies development then that's another huge advantage.

My ZX spectrum could do that. Jet Set Willy had much better fidelity.

What I don't get, is that apparently this LOD was achieved while fully dynamic lighting with proper scattered light - which I don't know if ray tracing or not.
On the other hand, we see Minecraft RTX completely streching even a 2080ti.

Either RTX is a wasteful way of rendering, or Epic/Unreal achieved something revolutionary here.

BTW I think Elite is sorely missing proper lighting tech, from the shadows of the ring on the planets and multiple light sources to starlight coming from the entire surface if the star and nor only from a single point.
