Here are some truly next-generation photorealistic environments, created in Unreal Engine 4

We always see these things created in Unreal engine. They look amazing but nothing is happening in screen other than pretty environments. Stuff like this will never be anything to go by.

I wouldn't say never.. at some point in the future we will be here, just not now.

[AnubisG]

Sure, maybe in 20 years or more.

@AnubisG

That's a long ways off from never.. in the grand scheme of things that's nothing.

[blacktiger]

that's what he said, never say never. I'd say about million years, too bad if you don't get to live to see it,

It's real time. The future is now.

You must be living under a rock. A beautifully rendered rock in UE4. I can only imagine the amount of PlayStation fans, (16 at this time) who wish they could see these graphics. Enjoy your console?

Yes your completey spot on it all comes down to little cpu draw calls required as well as the graphics card and cpu being free to reach peak performance due to low activity,there’s also very little if any player activity so there able to push all resources into the way it looks, remember the graphics demos from back the day for new Nvidea cards? We’re only now just getting to the graphics demonstrated back then 15 plus years ago. That’s not to say next gen won’t blow people away but ignore things I like this as a guideline it doesn’t equate to real world game code calculations , but who knows the tech in these new batch of rdna2 cards really do have extremely impressive performance per wat is go as far as to say huge implications for great potential. There is a reason devs are saying this is the biggest leap in tech since the jump to 3D it really isn’t hype they really are very impressive

True, but it's some nice eye candy.

[anubusgold]

Nahh it looks like bad CG i can tell it looks fake.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

What's some of this "good" CGI you're comparing it to?

[tontontam0]

You are spending so much time playing video games, you probably forgot what reality looks.

[anubusgold]

Down vote all you want you can still tell its a game and will look less real in motion.

[anubusgold]

@TheDragonSlayer Maybe for a console noob that is waiting on a upgrade PC people got 5 years ago lol.

[C-H-E-F]

UE always have these tech demos, but they are just renderings with nothing going on, onscreen. It's completely ridiculous they do this every generation. It's really annoying and misleading.

[MarkyMark89]

Its not misleading or annoying, its annoying that we have gamer's out there that don't realize half of these tech demo's and representations of UE4 are sometimes achievable and not far fetched. A whole lot have actually been able to run on top PC hardware, Rebirth is an amazing one that comes to mind. Has anybody ever used it for a game, no, doesn't make it fake or not do-able in games, just makes it tech not being used. Welcome to the tech age happens to hundreds of apps, programs, engines, devices every single day. Lol do you live in 2020?

[silenthillstrangler]

Looks great for sure but still looks like cg. I would definitely be happy if this was the extent to what we could achieve in game.

[Father__Merrin]

pics like these have been around ages but are never seen in games. tbh it would be inpractical tbh, some of them pics look like uncharted 4 epilogue where you control drakes daughter in the beach house the visual fidelity is astounding in them scenes but wont work in actual gameplay

[terrorofdeath]

Looks amazing, yes, but the true test is the game looking like this with gameplay mechanics and characters/NPCs.

These images are nice but they are easily identifiable as computer generated so I suppose it depends on ones definition of photo-real.
