What I love the most about UE5 and Epic Games is that they're putting high quality game/film development in the hands of everyone with a computer that can run it. From indie developers to HUGE AAA studios. God bless them.

The lighting is something I’ve never seen digitally so when you moved around those objects it looked like I was watching real life footage. So trippy

15 years ago I told someone that someday we'd be able to work on 3d scenes while they're already rendered. He said I was crazy

[Leanzazzy]

Damn the rate at which technology is progressing never ceases to amaze me.

Respect to you and all the other creators making free tutorials and content for others to use 🙌

That Lumen feature is mind blowing! 🤯❤️

I'm a Unity diehard through and through, but my jaw dropped when you moved that cube in front of the window light. That's mind blowing

I really like how you don't just go thru the talking points - you actually *show* us how it works.
UE5 is really the only thing so far that I've seen that I consider to be "next-gen" - and it looks damn good!

Unreal is both accessible, pretty easy to start with, expansive for adding new options, and constantly upping their tech. This is the way all programs ought to be to make creativity an accessible outlet regardless of what you create.

Even as someone who has no idea how to develop games I love watching these videos and seeing the advancements in these game engines because it shows off all the ways game development gets quicker, cheaper, and better.

Can you imagine playing in this environment in vr!!??? It's literally everything I've wanted from games (graphically) since I was a little girl. SO excited to see what devs do with this!!!!

[wasp]

Idk if it’s just me but growing with the technology since 2000’s have been crazy cause I got to see every bit of it the growth, stuff like this the little but important things in games we’re always what caught my attention, wondering how it worked

[ianlasken]

The games that we will receive in the next few years are going to be INSANE

[TheBaxes]

Can't wait to start seeing a bunch of indie games with the graphics assets available in UE5. We'll probably start having more projects like Hellblade made by small studios. Amazing

[UlfMTG]

I'm actually mind blown. So let me get this straight: they developed Nanite, Lumen, and all thatmind-blowing new tech for this software that is completely free and open source? all those extremely high-quality assets that they scanned, all free? backwards compatibility and conversion for 15+ year old UE4 projects? This is crazy man. What the fuck

edit: okay, *technically* it's not open source, but the source code is public. Which is still insane considering how valuable Lumen/Nanite is

[privatebandana]

I've been working on a passion project in UE4 for almost 4 years now and UE5 is an actual game changer. It's actually insane how much time it cut thanks to the improvements and changes in UE5, the games that will come from this will be crazy.

[DEATHHEADYT]

The crazy part about this, is it will get even easier as the years go by. Everyone is going to be making something at some point, and I’m not just talking about UE5. The video looks like Star Citizen grade graphics - minus the 10 years and $500 million crowd funding.

[martingardener]

I grew up when home computers became a new thing. 3D came later and even wire frame jerky motion stuff was amazing. That we have reached this level in my lifetime is astounding. We are living in my childhoods future for sure. Utterly incredible.

[Futureguitarist]

We've gone from 16 bit games held together by hopes and dreams to not being able to tell the difference between UE5 humans and real life humans in 30 years... it's insane

[ElectricBikeReview]

This is awesome! Thanks for the tour of features. Your examples were great.

[denmanfite]

I seriously applaud you for making a video that starts with a premise and then gets to the point without all the fluffery of normal youtube. High quality output with high utility.
