Unreal Paris - Unreal Engine 4 tech demo

The more I run this the less impressive I find it. Everything looks fake for example all the lights look static and pre render, same for shadows. All the objects are static as well. If this is what I think it is then the problem with this method is it looks great while everything is static but as soon as anything moves it looks terrible as none of the shadows or lights move. They must have spent hours positioning everything and baking on the shadows and lights which does look great but it means nothing can move or the illusion is broken assuming I am not wrong on how they did it.

It’s more a piece of art then a useful for games.

I believe its using PBR and possibly game works extensions (though I couldn't see evidence of them) but if so then the material effects and lighting/shadowing would be realtime.
 
This + Oculus = never leaving home again. It's amazing to think where we'll be in 5-10 years time. Although come that time, we probably won't be that impressed! The promise of what's to come always leaves us wanting it seems.

The only thing that lets it down are the reflections (ie the mirror in the bathroom), apart from that it looks great.

Yeah I noticed, it amazing everything looked photo realism but disappointed at reflections in bathroom, Epic need to work on it to improve reflections to make it look photo realism. :)
 
Thought that was the whole thing with DX12 and the unreal engine to make those textures and art work super small and compact ;)

Great looking demo but just like I said a decade or 2 ago until I see it in an actual game its still a tech demo!
 
Loft in London demo is awesome!!! :cool:

Was watched Avengers trailer in demo then exited and changed clip to random mp4 file, went back to demo and turned on TV but blank screen realized Avengers file are WMV format so I converted GTA V mp4 trailer to WMV then renamed file to Avengers and tested it out...

It worked. :D

You can do it with any WMV clips or convert movies clips to WMV format. :)

Don't think this has been posted yet but I thought it looked quite good. I haven't been able to change the res or make it full screen yet though so if anyone know's how to change it please let me know.

If you want it higer res or fullscreen, create a shorcut to the exe then ad this to the target line
-ResX=2560 -ResY=1440 -fullscreen

Depending on your res

I would genuinely love a decent older style UT game again but with updated graphics.

But more seriously, haven't we been having Unreal 4 engine tech demos for an utterly absurd amount of time now and absolutely nothing worthwhile in the real world to show for it. The games out that use it are ones I've basically not heard of and a very quick look at the likes of Daylight and graphically it looks dire.

Anyone know what the first AAA type title using UE4 is supposed to be? Pretty tech demo's are great but what you get in a game is the only thing I give a crap about. UE4 has been talked about and shown for SO damn long but where are the games taking advantage of it.

First line on UE4 on wiki


Could purchase a licence for it since May 2012, it was first shown in a demo in June 2012. 2.5 years and still seen nothing impressive beyond a tech demo.

Stop making tech demos, make a god damned game and help some developers make a game with it rather than putting more time and money into tech demos /epic slap to Epic.
