Morning Mist - rendered with the Unreal 4 engine

I'd very much like to see the original Unreal being remade with this engine. Best single player campaign next to Half-Life I've ever played.

You can't lie to me. I know this is real life
YouKilledMeImADeadGhooostNow
The fact that this is possible today, but we will not see visuals like this in a real-time playable game for 10+ years makes me very sad.
NationalistCanadianMooseWarrior
I can guarantee that it won't take anywhere near 10 years.
DarthFutuza
Well it is playable today. You just need to upgrade your hardware.
Applecrow
some people wont have available upgrades to their 'hardware' for 4-6 years. meanwhile on PC...
DarthFutuza
Well that's their fault to limiting themselves to just one platform.
jcarn
Why do you think that is? Its already available, dx12 is round the corner and current hardware gets good performance in benchmarks
mordaedil
These images are nearly identical to what was portrayed with Unreal 3 engine. Games can't afford this visual fidelity and still make release
YouKilledMeImADeadGhooostNow
Dx demos from 5-7 years ago had pre-rendered visuals that no current games touch. This is so far beyond that, 10 years seems reasonable.
jcarn
I know what is in the OP is pre-rendered but we can see significant improvement in graphical quality very soon if some games were developed
jcarn
for high end hardware. A new Crysis 1 basically
YouKilledMeImADeadGhooostNow
True, and I hope someone attempts that. But it's a huge step from pre-render of a mostly static env. to real-time dynamic game env.
jcarn
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zI9-_P9ABPc this is on the low end of it for example
YouKilledMeImADeadGhooostNow
The holy grail is still rendering lifelike playable human characters. That's where the illusion still breaks down.
ozjuggler
If they ever become realistic it wouldn't be a game any more, that would be a murder simulator. I wouldn't buy it.
Koztah
I think you haven't seen what GTA IV (yes, IV) looks like with the right rendering plugins. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1o-ojTM6tCE

Koztah
The ENB is in beta at the moment. Give it a few months.

This is actually the best evidence that I may be off on the 10 years. I haven't seen this before. Looks great.

"Unreal" refers to the price of a computer that can actually run this, not the graphics.
anthonymademe
how much would i need to spend to build a computer that can run games at this quality?
Shadow113
At THIS quality, today? $1300ish maybe for 30-50fps
uhhhnick
probably around $1000, when the technology becomes available, when they actually start making games with it.
Jdonkay
See, it's a process. I recommend building ur own computer, you can make a great one for 1000 bucks, but ull be upgrading it as time goes on.
PtrkLnk
I mean you can make one that plays a lot of games really well for like $500. If you want to spend $1000 you can though.

May your framerates be high and your temperatures low, fellow brother.
Hannya
Sorry to be "that guy", but I can tell you that games won't ever be photorealistic with *real* gameplay. I'll write reasoning underneath
Hannya
You need to consider, behind the amazing visuals is an artist making the visuals. The better the visuals, the better the artist.
Hannya
Secondly, you might notice that modern games have shallow gameplay. This is because amazing graphics + gameplay is too much, so one is
Hannya
and the better the visuals, the harder the art is to make.
Hannya
sacrificed to make room for the other. Graphics can always get better as hardware gets better, but gameplay suffers because of it.
Hannya
Firstly, the cost of development runs too high, it's okay to develop a small pre rendered tech demo like this, but a real game is too much.
pandorafalters
We have better graphics now than "unachievably realistic demos" from just a few years ago. Asset reuse & "lego" assets are huge.
Hannya
Yes, and the cost of AAA games has increased by quite a lot to match the increasing development cost. My point still stands.
Hannya
My point was never that "these graphics can't be achieved", they can, they're there. My point is that they're never worth it in games.

this will run quite well but the thing is that all the lighting is prebaked, meaning no dynamic lighting, and probably other similar caveats

Indeed, each shot probably takes half an hour to render the lighting. Stunning, but slooow

Naw. But if you zoom in on it (in the engine), the discrepancies become very obvious. Still images like this can be very impressive looking.
