This demo was to be made available at CES for devs and journalists to try. They confirmed during the interview it was being played in real time and captured through hdmi out, straight from the early ps5 dev kit. Do you have any evidence this wasn't the case?

Didn't think so either...

Yes, PR wording, or even strategical lack of words, could make people imply that was full fledged RT and 4k on a PS5, while it was lower res, on a devkit on a PC more powerful than PS5 and it used a kind of lighting less computing heavy than full fledged RT. Anyhow, although 4k on $500 HW makes me smile too, GPU real world performances growth is always less than theoretic one and medium-low-power consumption GPUs, as those viable for a console APU, are still far from delivering that, if that HW will be able to offer acceptably good FX at a stable 60Hz or more at 1080p or slightly better, I'll be quite happy, as not too later PCs with low power Zen 3 CPUs and low range RDNA 2 GPUs will most probably offer a respectable 1440p with good framerate and decent FX that would make power lovers unhappy, but surely will make me happy (after staying turned off a month my old PC died and as I'm forced to do it earlier than I wanted, I'm gonna build a new one with a cheap Ryzen 2600, 16GB RAM, luckily found at a very few euros more than 8GB, and recycling the old fanless  R7 250 GPU, waiting for much more powerful low power consumption HW to make a real major upgrade, for a temporary upgrade Zen+ as cheap as possible made more sense than a much more expensive Zen 2 that, except the most powerful, power-hungry and expensive models, will be outperformed soon even by mid or even mid-low range Zen 3, and the most powerful current fanless GPUs are really outdated and desperately needing RDNA 2 successors, as except on laptop models, they are two evolutions old compared to the latest full-power models, and except the next custom models for consoles, current APUs aren't in a better situation).

You're right, there's a deep connection between MS and EPIC.
And you're behaving as if MS financial power doesn't exist here.
That's why Sony's money can't be an excuse.

That said, we will be able to see the day UE5 works on  the xbox.
I'm not doubt it.
But, MS seems to be behind Sony.
Don't you think so?

Perhaps you won't see my reply though.

Its a great showcase, but the naughtydog engine is better, even crytek. The only thing I didn't like was the water effects. The ripple effect seemed abit un realistic. But the triangle count and texture scans is amazing. I still remember how big of a deal it was when gran turismo car models were of 5000 polygons, and now it's just insane what tech can reach.

And you are a FUD spreader, I have seem many on VGC. You just pass rumors as facts and facts as lie depending on your convenience

Judging engines on graphics is not a good idea. Engines are tools, you can get any visual result with any modern engine. The difference is the work required and the performance, i.e. the things you absolutely cannot see in a tech demo.

Hopefully next time (in 7-8 years) they ditch the polygons...

The very same Tim Sweeny in an interview many years ago on Gamastura stated that for fully voxel based worlds, hardware needs to be around 25 or 27TFLOPS (my memory is bit hazy on exact number). By the time we finally get there I don't think it will be voxels per se, but whatever it is I honestly can't wait for that volumetric future and all the physics it brings with itself.

To be fair, vegetation has been one of the easiest things to make look great in games for some reason. I'm sure it'll look great in UE5 too.

It's triangles and or quads because those are the best geometric figures to make shapes with right?

Or does it also include that those figures have the best/better aimed reflections?

Dev noob right here. :P
