Nothing new... the demo is just a "put any UE3 game here" running in 3x GTX 580 with heavly use of tessalation (DirectX 11). That's a demo horse power... not graphic improviments. Unreal Engine 3 already support DirectX 11 and tessalation... the demo just show the power of three top gaphic cards working together. Still looks like everything is made of plastic as Unreal Engine games always do. |
Actually the Unreal engine has not supported DX11 until that demo and there are no announced unreal engine games announced that support DX11.
The demo also supports several other techniques that have never been seen before in Unreal engine and some have not been used in any other game, like the Bokeh depth of field effect, Geometry shaders, Image-based reflections, Subsurface scattering, and the move to Deferred rendering with revolutionary MSAA support and a new High-quality dynamic shadow system. This new version of the Unreal engine is a massive improvement and looks far better than old Unreal games on the same hardware, you can play games like Mass Effect 2 on the same hardware it it won't look nearly as good.
