My brain cannot get over that this is all rendered in REAL TIME like that’s insane

[KIRAnovantaquattro]

how the enviroment responds to real time editing, adapting the scene to the movements made by the artist, it's an INSANE step up.

[rscrubs]

damn the way that procedural stuff works with the existing environment is pretty crazy

[SparlsOfficial]

That procedural thing when he moves the formation and how the formation fits to wherever you place it is incredible

[TheBlackItalianGamer]

We will never see a peak of Graphical improvement. Just when you thought it can't better than what we have now, they bring out even better improvements

[wutangx]

This is actually unreal how far this tech has gotten

[nothajzl]

Tech demo’s are always impressive and different from actual games, but man, this one was on another level

[illyxmaze]

Shout out to anyone involved in making this stuff possible. Just everyone throughout game making history. It’s honestly unbelievably insane.

[velve]

I'm in awe at how photorealistic the environment looks like. You can even see small insects flying around. Unreal!

[anirudhpuranik]

The fact that the wheel got wet and catched the dirt and stone marks over dry land as a result is a mind blowing level of detail.

[Elucidator]

Tech demos are always pretty. What's impressive is when games look and run well.

[USAFMike]

Simply phenomenal. Imagine going back in time and showing this video to the gaming communities of the 1990's, just seeing their priceless reactions would be amazing.

[aspectratio]

The dust on the windshield is really coool. The environmental effects on the suspension of the vehicle just show how much they’ve dedicated their efforts to this project.

[VoidySan]

That procedural generation, and the reaveal of the amount of the map that was handbuilt was insane.

[balgaadrian]

When he drives through under that tree at 3:17, the view actually looks real. It's crazy. No game had such an effect on me before.

[verybigvirus]

What caught my eye was the procedural generated area. Especially with the way it interacts with the area already there and how moving it changes where and what is added/removed to fit in.

[Wrath]

its crazy to see how far games have come in such a short amount of time

[cavy]

Holy...the way the map instantly renders after he inputs different values to the procedural system is crazy, it's a game changer for game developers

[ExodiumTM]

As the name says, it's honestly unreal how all this is being done in real time. Obviously, they are using strong hardware, but this is incredibly impressive

[majclaire]

Really impressive how virtual graphics has evolved so quickly, seems like the technology that would’ve been later for centuries
