That does look pretty damn stellar. The most important question obviously is, does it have loot boxes?

It's been a while since I've been impressed by graphics. This did it for me.

Fluid simulation looks a bit odd for me, like the impact from character steps is a bit too strong.

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.

I think that if it can render that without frame drop, and with that much detail without a 2d map, we are about to see an insane quality boost visually. Imagine the ceiling when they DO use bitmaps in the process.

Signature goes here.
While fluid contextual animation is cool, I wonder if the character is going to putting their hand on a door/wall every time they're nearby one. That would quickly ruin the immersion IMO and defeat the purpose.

It'll render it just fine, using realtime raytracing (and from what I can see on PS5 website they are using custom AMD with it's support instead of RTX, which is interesting), there are already games that took advantage of it like Control.

I'm concerned though that developers will run into disk space issues if they are going to use million triangle models everywhere through in their world. That's just too excessive.

I'm pretty sure that's adjustable so it could be done at random times instead. What Unreal Engine tries to accomplish here is to reduce ammount of effort and developer time needed to set up those events.

An interesting read, this article tells in detail how Lumen and Nanite presented in UE5 demo works

If you know, you know.
Poly count isn't everything and I wish devs would shift priorities to more complex world simulation over eye candy.

Imagine if you could actually enter every building in GTA 5 or have NPCs process your speech and respond accordingly?
Two things I would like to see this upcoming generation - VR becoming the third standard control method joining KBM and Controllers.
New levels of world interactivity across all genres where it makes sense.

This is actually a good point
Storage is going to be a real problem if games are going to be this detailed
Games are already fucking huge as it is

I believe Jono was just quoting a Bungie dev on the subject of level design.

Ah yes just put the 3D artists on gameplay design and programming of course it all makes sense now, after all one game developer can pretty much do any role in the studio right

Also lmao 3D model files are tiny. Even one with over a million tris is probably a couple megabytes. The thing that eats up space is textures, which is why you tend to use lots of smaller maps than one big one

I mean i still wouldn't want to use a raw exported model from Zbrush anyway because they're just unwieldly (most 3D packages aren't really built to handle massively high polycounts), but you guys are really overreacting the impact a model alone has on game file size. Plus all your standard texture software is built on the idea of using a high poly -> low poly bake workflow (Substance needs curvature, thickness, height, position, world normal and object normal maps to even function), and if you have a normal map you can channel pack two other maps into the B and A channels of the texture so for ease of use it's not like the standard workflow is going anywhere. You guys are just missing the point of a tech demo aimed at the people who will actually be using the thing then complaining about things the demo is literally not intended to address lmao

t. works with this shit every day

This is a stupid thing to say because of how it ignores the entire thing they're showing off - which is the ability to run extremely high poly budgets. No one is realistically going to actually do this.

Obviously, that's why I said that it triggers me rather than saying that it's bad.

well how are you supposed to just "switch priorities" to something else? do the artists just stop making their work or something?

So instead of focusing on making every facade ultra-realistic, you use today's graphics but increase asset count instead.
More geometry, more object states. Artists would have a field day if they were told to create a whole city rather than just facades with no interiors.
