Chaos High-Performance Physics and Destruction System Full-length Demo | GDC 2019 | Unreal Engine

Revealed onstage at GDC 2019 during “State of Unreal,” Chaos is Unreal Engine’s new high-performance physics and destruction system coming in early access to Unreal Engine 4.23. This is the full play through of the real-time tech demo, which is set within the world of Robo Recall. With Chaos, users can achieve cinematic-quality visuals in real time in scenes with massive-scale levels of destruction, with unprecedented artist control over content creation.

3 years later and still not a single game makes use of stuff like that

i want new Matrix game with unreal engine and these physics and destruction, imagine the dark greenish atmosphere with realistic graphic and physics, mind blown

[trydodis]

It's a bit TOO "high performance", at 0:44 debris is just constantly coming out of the left-most pillar like a popcorn machine.

[bobbykoulouris]

This is what I've always dreamed of in gaming.

[OrangeGuy]

All the people coming here after the Fortnite announcement.

[Desperado]

Finally some physics upgrade instead of only graphics. Love

[RBandit]

Bioware "omfg imagine the game trailers we could make with this!"
dont you mean games?
Bioware "haha, no, i mean trailers. who cares what the game looks like"

[CTHA]

I'm skeptical.
We've seen tech demos of procedural destruction as far back as early last gen.

The tech isn't new. It's not being used however.

This is how i remember the first Red Faction.

[fredmuckl]

Everything is being destroyed while there is no scratch on the floor. I´d need those indestructible tiles :D

[robertzaku]

this is a game-changer. What about water physics? Any news on them? Most of the game engines still supports traditional water physics based on the 2D shapes

[romefox]

This is a showcase of how much more there is to go for game realism. Its com a long way but no where near this. Give it 10 years.

Me: sees Fortnite is going to use this engine

My trash iPad barely able to run 30fps: (chuckles) I’m in danger

[lordrampant]

Yo guys look it's the 2015 Crackdown 3 reveal

[rezaman]

OMG! This looks awesomeeee!!!! The gorgeous graphics + the destruction system = Pure Joy! I can't wait! :D

[sean]

Robocop Rouge city is honestly the first game I can think of (Unreal Engine wise at least) that has physics/destruction like this. Not on this scale, but anyone that's played the game or seen gameplay knows the environments are full of destroyable items/cover etc. And they look a lot like the physics in this tech demo. Esp the part at 0:38 But Robcop is UE5. You can tell from looking at the config files etc that it dose use Epic's in house physics engine "Chaos". But also uses UE5's Niagra particle FX system together with Chaos to accomplish the destruction effects.

[painexotic]

this is insane. Im so excited about the future of gaming.

[stianbulandlie]

How much destruction do you want?
Me: yes

[itzluisyt]

Dang rip old Fortnite

[tajalam]

Who is here after Fortnite make the Announcement?
