Thread: Unreal Engine 5 - Showcases by artists, demos, concepts.
Hype Thread
This latest update to the engine looks insane. I said "wow" out loud when he zoomed out with the nanite foliage. Finally, no more LOD bullshit in games. Man, I can't wait to see this kind of technique become commonplace.

And performance got optimized, to be able to hit 60fps on the potato consoles. Good progress being made here.

when are we actually gonna get our hands on an Unreal Engine 5 game?
I am about to start a new job where I'll be working on a flight sim using UE5 (not for public release). I am anxious to see how it does with all the implementations I have worked on in the past doing film. I suspect I'll have to modify a great deal of their code for our own needs but we'll see.

I plan on testing all kinds of things - including their path tracer. I'm definitely going to shoot for Nanite terrain but I don't yet know what our goals are.

I might be able to address what the issues are for gaming companies using it for a game. I have a feeling that game studios are way behind on using brand new tech and could possibly interfere with their timelines for release. I wouldn't be surprised if UE5 games using Nanite/Ray-Tracing won't arrive in bulk until next-generation.

Sounds damn interesting, looking forward to your thoughts on current games after getting into UE5 yourself.
