This Unreal Engine 4 fan tech demo is perhaps the most photorealistic real-time demo you'll ever see

Well, here is the deal; this is a scene in Unreal Engine 4 running in real-time on the PC and not a real image. This scene is from a fan tech demo that uses uses photogrammetry and Nvidia’s VXGI solution for real time lighting and global illumination, and will be released to the public at the end of 2017."

These look incredibly real

This is amazing, but just a tech demo. I don't want to know how long we have to wait to see something like this in a video game...

[spaceg0st]

right? btw... im sure this tech demo just filled up an entire blu ray disc. ;)

[Prince_TFK]

Amazing how far the technology has come.

[Fantasticzig]

TES 7 for sure. Maybe even modded TES 6.

[Eldyraen]

Maybe, because 6 probably won't be until 2020+ and by this rate that means 7 is probably over a decade away and that's just wishful thinking.

6 modded, if ENB friendly, could probably look similar enough once you get the textures and enhanced environment mods up and running... especially for rocks and nothing else.

Eh, this is a video from 2004:

Barring the horrendous resolution, many aspects of the demo look as good as games released today. That was 13 years ago. If it takes another 13 years to get a game that looks as good as the demo in this article it'd be 2030.

To be fair though, with how long ES takes ES7 might be coming out around then. I don't think that's a game that would have graphics like this though. Bethesda really doesn't seem to care about pushing their visuals.

Masse POES!!!

[andrewsquall]

Nah, clearly those screens from the entire team making Kingdom Come Deliverance last week were way better. /s
I already pointed out how one man tech demos are better, nice article for all the people who disagreed. ^_^

[Rangerman1208]

Looks more realistic than any tech-demo on the PS4 and PC.

[OffRoadKing]

You forgot 'and xbox'.

[Allsystemgamer]

This is a tech demo though. Running on pc lol

[SinkingSage]

But this is on PC.

[C-H-E-F]

wow, this is gorgeous lol, i wonder whats the toll on the system to render this scene lOl

[Zerii]

Unreal Engine 4 is a blessing for visuals ! Gosh.

[rlow1]

I was wondering how long that took them to do?

[ccgr]

Impressive!

[narsaku]

If this gen extends a few more years into the early 2020's we may end up seeing next gen consoles powerful enough to make games look this good... Maybe.

[Sam Fisher]

Ye...... no, we console ppl are still light years away

[LightofDarkness]

You have the power now on PCs to get close, what you don't have is the time necessary to craft this level of detail across an entire playable area without the game taking a decade to make.

[Omnislashver36]

LOL, we won't see this until PS7 the earliest.

[zaherdab]

Title is quite innacurate unless we all die today ....

[meka2611]

Good god, that is insane!

[spaceg0st]

this is how i imagine the 'OASIS' would be IRL. #ReadyPlayerOne

[iplay1up2]

Looks great, but its not going to be the most photo realistic games I will "ever" see. until the bar is raised to indistinguishable like this, but across the board from real life. This was just a bunch of rocks, it would be better to show an environment with a little more going on.

[Xristo]

That's absolutely amazing!

[its_JEFF]

WOW! They weren't kidding with that title. That's amazing, can't wait to see the first game to actually use this tech.

[3-4-5]

That is actually impressive. Probably most realistic I've ever seen.

[frostypants]

DSOGaming...posting "what if" and pretty-picture demo stuff 24/7, almost never posting actual "gaming" pieces.

[Jakens]

Wanting my 40 TF and crazy CPU from the future...today.

[DefenderOfDoom2]

Looks freakin amazing . Props to the Unreal Engine 4 developers .

Now the next step is to make everything more organic , where the environment around you, will react to yours actions.
