PS4 - Unreal Engine 4 - Elemental Tech Demo

Epic Games Demonstrates Unreal Engine 4 on the PlayStation 4 Computer Entertainment System

Epic Games today revealed a new version of its “Elemental” real-time demonstration, the premier showcase for the studio’s breakthrough Unreal Engine 4 game engine technology, running on the PlayStation 4 computer entertainment system at today’s PlayStation Meeting 2013.

“We are thrilled to build onto our long-est@blished success with PlayStation,” said Tim Sweeney, Epic’s founder and chief executive officer. “Unreal Engine 4 is expertly designed for the next generation of game development and the outstanding power of PlayStation 4. Today’s demonstration offers a preview of what developers can accomplish using our tools to create games for PlayStation 4.”

In the new presentation, a scene featuring the fiery mallet-wielding Elemental knight picks up where the original demo ends. Unreal Engine 4’s high-end rendering capabilities are evident, as dynamic lighting and shadowing bring intensity to contrasting volcanic and snowy vistas. Real-time reflections, subsurface scattering and GPU-powered particle effects fill the screen space with visual gems as a new ice behemoth cracks free from a frozen mountain and emerges with a radiant, frosty bellow.

im sorry. i dont mean to whine or sound like a !! but this !! is seriously not impressing me. i dont think that ps3 could do the same thing thats not the case. i guess the improvement is just not that drastic for me. pretty disappointed to still see so many polygons (look at the boulders and chunks of rock flying around when !! explodes. thats ps1 type ish)

in that k!llzone 4 video its the exact same case. when the plane is landing in the city during the first minute or so and you can see another plane taking off from a landing pad below. the smoke from the exhaust looks !!ty. same with the lights.

its not that i dont see any difference at all. i guess i was expecting some revolutionary !!. im sure a few years into the cycle something big will go down but for now im being cautious. especially with PC gaming the way its been. ps4 and xbox 720 look like something in between a 360 and a good gaming pc.

I agree....kinda. I think its gonna take a few more years to really get see some the new consoles true potential. With that being said..... Time will tell the truth my son. [pic]
