Unreal Engine 3 Demo Footage

seen it all before, only difference is that you get an introduction by a nerdy guy

I like the idea of making huge maps with streaming them in the background.

Looks pretty slick I must say. I just hope the requirements dosen't include buying a new computer.

On another note, did they ever determine if that E3 Killzone 2 preview was in game graphics?

OK, i dont understand one thing. This movie only shows 1 car moving around on the streets of the town. It looks ugly, even half-life2 hdr movie is better.

Is this unreal engine? damn, update it!

Ok and that guys voice is anoying!

Ah good old Tim Sweeney. Clever guy to be sure, but not much of a public speaker

Nexus, did you even watch the whole thing? When it zooms out and shows lots of the city, do you seriously think that is unimpressive? Do you think any engine currently on the market could manage that?

Everything at E3 was prerendered except Epic's stuff and some of EA's stuff. Killzone was all CG.

Thats a bold claim I assume you mean "Every PS3 demo at E3 was prerendered except..."

The billions of dollars Tim Sweeney has at his disposal makes up for the nerdy voice.

Hey now, we ran real-time.

wow. I DON"T see how you can see that as anything but amazing. You're crazy nexus. Also quite a display of power from the 7800. I should be interested to see ATi's answer to that.

Indeed the Unreal 3 engine is amazing and also this demo was quite nice, but not mind-blowing at all.

1. The objects are very repetitive. For example you see the garbage decal on the road about 5 times.

2. None of the props actually cast a shadow except the buggy.

3. Did you see the ground texture after the buggy left the park? Too many tiles.

4. When the buggy drives down stairs the props suddenly pop up. No LOD, no fading but a very small draw distance.

Of course I'm a bit fussy and the general impression of the demo is great. But it shows me 2 things:

First, the designers of that demo must have been a bit lazy. Of course it's a demo but even then it could be a bit better designed.

Second thing is, that it looks like the Unreal3 engine can't handle so many polygons as I thought it could do. Once again I learn not to trust in early "screenshots".

But as I said, the Unreal3 engine is still very stunning.

...nothing

i like when the guy says. Is it all realtime? yeah absolutly.

well i dont know lol its cool then!

See sig.

Oh and that vide is cool, I hadn't seen the city zoom out before, Im not too keen on realtime lighting, it takes so much effort and it is mostly going to waste because its dynamic yet doesnt always get changed ingame.

I dunno, if I dont have to fork out 4k to play it I'm happy.

Sorry, what I meant was, all the next-gen stuff at E3 was prerendered except...
