Looks beautiful and can't wait to see what kind of stuff they'll be able to do next-gen. Here's the video embedded for anyone who wants to watch it.
Thanks.
So was that rendered in real time or pre-rendered?
I hope next gen will look that good.
It was all real-time rendering which makes that tech demo even more jaw dropping. Epic proved it by pausing it moving the camera around freely, turning off things like shaders and stuff in real time to show the differences with it on and off and other stuff like that. Needless to say if games look this incredible while I'm playing them next-gen i will be MORE than happy because there hasn't ever been a game released with this level of graphics in game before FOR SURE.
That tech demo was running on three GTX 580 cards. Next gen consoles will not have anywere close that much power.
Well according to Epic they will, and if you look at what they said the PS3 and 360's power would be equivalent to back before the specs on those two systems were even revealed they were pretty much exactly on. Regardless of whether or not people are fans of their games, there is no doubt that Epic does know what they are talking about when it comes to hardware and graphics. Now it might not be quite that powerful but probably pretty close. I don't think we'll see new hardware from Sony or MS for At least 2 more years and by that time this level of technology will have dropped substantially in price.
