New Unreal Engine 5.5 Looks SUPER PHOTOREALISTIC on PS5 | Real-Time 4K Gameplay Tech Demo 2024

During the opening session of Unreal Fest Seattle 2024, Epic Games released the Preview version of Unreal Engine 5.5, allowing developers to try out the upgraded engine before its official launch. It features a brand new lighting tool called MegaLights, which allows the use of more dynamic light sources that generates realistic area shadows and can light volumetric fog.

To demonstrate this toolset in action, Epic showcased a breathtaking demo featuring a character exploring a game level illuminated by over a thousand shadow-casting lights in real-time on the PlayStation 5.

Unreal Engine 5.5 also makes Deformers easier to use, adds support for customizable vehicle models, upgrades the engine's Skeletal Editor and Chaos Physics, improves mobile and developer iteration tools, and enhances virtual production workflows.

Remake of UNREAL TOURNAMENT 99 WILL BE FKN MASTERPIECE 🔥🔥🔥

[ThePred]

I got excited for a second unreal tournament!!!!

[eduardomartin]

Thanks for the first video, I had no idea this was out there. That demo is impressive as f'.

"What you've seen here is running live on a PS5 " at 4:43

Great rendering, but what about traversal stuttering? Finally "fixed"?

[artaxerxes]

They built a huge project just for a 20 mins demo to highlight new features of the new version. Thats committed and passion.

[razvancarstea]

4 years in and still no games that look like this.. Unreal.. please..

[pewpewDino]

I think for game engine to be next gen, dynamic destruction is something I am looking forward to. Or something new in Gamplay.

[GalacticAstroparticles]

Ray-tracing and path-tracing spoiled us: All I could focus on during the demo were the inaccurate reflections on the floor...

[mateuszbalas]

Looks like they spend more time to work on unreal engine videos than on actual games

[teikapic]

I already want to see the new Cyberpunk

[TheCrassEnnui_]

It's a little blurry, where is the source video for this?

[airplaneBN]

Wow! I can't even LOOK at UE 5.4 anymore after seeing this. This is a MASSIVE upgrade.

[vishalmate]

For me mechanics and game concept Is more Important than graphics

[Johnnymanfoxs]

Beyond more shine and all that... it still looks like video game graphics, that environment is not that close to reality, this generation of video games from the last 4 years leaves a lot to be desired, a lot of smoke from demos and tests but very few games of that quality for sale, only the well-known ones from before.

[lukedawg]

The only thing you are accomplishing by showcasing this is making all of us gamers even more mad knowing that the technology is out there, can play on the current gen console I own, the type of quality I came out the pocket for to purchase a PS5 for. Yet we get games like Outlaws instead.

Reality is, a game releasing in this quality is 10 years and 2-3 console gens away. I pray that 1 developer steps up, grows a pair, and releases a game this high of quality. It will be the first game to sell hundreds of millions of copies because if any real developer listened to us and paid attention, THIS is what we are hungry for. Not some re-skinned overpriced PS4

[Sir.bookum]

Is this even actual gameplay or just showing off graphics?

[paulcantshutup]

I have not felt this much hype for a game engine since the Infiltrator demo eleven years ago.

...ELEVEN YEARS AGO!?

[ViralWatchMedia]

does anyone else notice how uneven the frame pacing is? when he was walking it was chugging and stuttering terribly, it needs a lot of work.

[vdlzts.]

besides the amazing 5.5 features, shouts to ENFANT's editing !! very nice pace, quality, transitions, really uplifts the showcase and enhance the meat and potatoes with simplicity and originality. Great work Mr. TERRIBLE ;)
