Kane99 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Oh cool. This sounds interesting. The makers of the new Matrix are releasing a free tech demo from Epic games and some of the team from the upcoming movie. I think it is expected to drop on Dec 9th during the upcoming game awards. And I assume you can actually play the tech demo the same day.

Empire Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 That's great news, even though UE5 isn't officially marketed as "stable" right now it's getting more and more adopted by devs (me inclusive!). It's just a shame the tech demo won't release for PC, I wonder if they're prioritizing the consoles to tune UE5 since they already know high-end PCs will definitely run a demo like this without issues. Would make the most sense to me at least (unless it's because of a deal with the console people or so...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 For some reason the 90s feel is missing in this matrix movie. And I am sure though CGI is there but the feeling is missing. This demo was good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 This is quite interesting if I do say so myself as the Unreal Engine 5 has been getting a lot of hype over the past few years so I want to see what it's really capable of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 I think Unity and Unreal 5 and also Cry engine are competiting in that space and each of their release fights for the quality of experience they can offer and devs who can get the most out of it. I am not sure how much they have done so in the unreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane99 Posted December 12, 2021 Author Share Posted December 12, 2021 (edited) Just watched the full playthrough of this test demo, and I so hope it's an early promo for an eventual game, because this looks like what games were going to be years ago. idk, just looks fun. But, that driving near the end looked rough. I'm getting a True Crime: Streets of LA vibe from the car shooting segments. Wonder if this will result in a full game. Because I'd be tempted to give this a try. Unreal Engine is killing it these days. Edited December 12, 2021 by Kane99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 I think by the end of April maybe they could launch few level worth of full game. But yeah I like how Unreal is turning out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
