This Matrix/unreal tech demo is actually mind blowing

[-DMP-]

I spent a ridiculous amount of time in this demo. Here my my thoughts.

The good:

• Overall, its very impressive
• Unreal scope/scale
• When set to max settings(100%) its the densest city ive seen in a ‘game’
• The most geometry (rounded corners/edges) ive seen in ‘game’. Nanite is the real deal
• On console it’s essentially doing raytraced lighting, ambient shadows and reflections in real-time. Some of them aren’t triangle based but they have the same effect. (The reflections aren’t Spiderman or Ratchet level, but the whole thing comes together nicely)
• When I turned down some settings (cars, parked cars and crowd) I was able to get what I felt was a smoother experience
• Massive city with no load times
• Incredible VFX
• Incredible car physics/damage model
• Great sound

The bad

• That framerate. Especially when at max settings and you are moving around quickly in a car or using the drone
• The TAA ghosting gives the impression of an even lower framerate when its running at ~30
  
• The Lumen lighting ghosting/slow update (it accumulates over several frames) also gives the impression of a lower framerate when its running at 30
• No head lights from the cars during night
• A lot of visual ‘noise’ (im assuming it’s because its trying to denoise/cleanup the ray tracing elements)
• ‘Low resolution’/ soft image quality. It would be nice if it was sharper

It’s a great tech demo and im sure a couple of games this gen will come close to this level of visuals at 30fps.

Post more often bro.

Smh one of the few times pc gang lawst

Not really there are hundreds of Unreal 5 demos you can download on PC, all different types of environments running at 80-90fps with DLSS

None of these tech demos mean shyt until they can make a real game, the Matrix demo is an interactive movie, the rail shooter is like 2021 version of what Terminator Arcade was like, it doesn't look real it looks like a movie because it is a movie

Demo is cool. Looked better on rails than free roam but I look forward to where this technology can go

compare a game with in a fantasy setting to a real setting If they showed a game like that using UR5 it would shyt all over that..

We are about 20 yrs away from games like this

Once this type of visual fidelity hits VR it's a wrap for socializing tho

Can get that now if they developed games for the strongest PC cards

Can get that now if they developed games for the strongest PC cards

and no money would be made because the average pc gamer is on a flabby n sick card
