The Unreal Engine 5 is surely the most beautiful video game engine today. And he demonstrates it once again through a brand new video. A real pleasure for the retina.
Once again, Unreal Engine 5 dazzles us by demonstrating its full potential. This time, a video produced by Digital Dreams immerses us in a tropical forest under pouring rain. The weather and geography are reminiscent of those that our heroes endure in the very first Jurassic Park, notably during the famous tropical storm which contributes to the fall of the park. In summary, it’s really impressive.
Unreal Engine 5 is dazzling
With this new video with the evocative name “Virtual Forest Walk”, we really have the impression of being in the heart of Isla Nublar, and we expect every minute that a dinosaur will emerge from a bush to devour “the camera”. If part of the Jurassic Park Survival game takes place in an open or semi-open world, this is exactly how it should look like. At least that’s what fans fervently wish for. Take a look at the incredible work done on textures, lighting effects and even rain. It’s simply astonishing.
Unreal Engine Update 5.3, rolling out in September 2023, marked a notable step forward from previous versions, with major improvements to rendering, development, and tools for virtual production. It also introduced new experimental features in the areas of rendering, animation and simulation, providing cinema-level volumetric rendering capabilities.
Several highly anticipated titles plan to use this advanced technology, including the upcoming Tomb Raider, the remake of The Witcher, and STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl, scheduled for release on September 5, 2024. Although the use of Unreal Engine 5.3 does not systematically guarantee visual quality comparable to that of technical demonstrations, it nevertheless indicates a promising aesthetic potential for these games. In any case, we can expect games to look more and more like the above. Very clearly.
