In short, no. Just looked like an exceptionally boring (before the skateboard) then dumb (after the skateboard) Pixar movie. Will stick with the Cry and Unreal engines, while seeing if the Frostbite and Anvil engines (amongst others) keep up.

well the tech demo looks good, but not as impressive as other tech demo's. skin rendering also doesnt seem to be that great it seems his face has a more "plasticy" feel than actual skin. i dont know if there using something like maya's subsurface scartering but the results arent really that impressive, also particle and fluid effects seem to be sub par mostly when compared to unreal 4 and cryEngine. also wasnt impressed with the cloth simulation at all, look at how his tie feels so stiff most of the video

how dare you call any pixar movie boring :( also this is noo way near the quality pixar offers! also a tech demo isnt about being fun its more about demonstarting the techonolgy, which in my opinion the tech demo failed to impress

it in no way looks fantstic specially when compated to other next gen tech domo's, hell quantic dreams kara's tech demo blows this one away and that was one year old tech

ofcourse the poly count is higher thats is a next gen demo, but the skin rendering and facial animations (which is what mostly was shown in the kara tech demo and what we can and should compare is skin rendering and charecter models in which kara beats this tech demo

ohh i certainly am not battling with you lol,  were just discussing the tech demo, may i ask where did you read all the in and outs of the kara tech demo? digital foundy?

ohh cool lol are you an animator or game developer?

Unity is a very cheap engine that's gaining lots of traction in the developers world. They are disrupting the Unreal Engine market, with huge marketshare in the iOS/Android world, and it's probable that they will gain marketshare in the pc/handheld/home console in the next years. Very easy to use and to compile to different targets, isn't as powerful as other engines, but it's a very cheap and good enough alternative.

I love Unity, but I don't think that looked anywhere close to the Unreal 4 tech video.

Also, this isn't really an engine thing, but the colors were very muted throughout that video.

I could tell it was just a demo, but it just reminded me of all the Pixar movies. And personally rather leave those graphics styles in the Pixar movies.
