Epic shows epic realtime footage of Unreal Tournament's map

This is pre pre pre alpha Prototype/concept art footage and not even fully playable map at this stage but this already shows the right direction for the game's visuals and level design . This already looks close to CGI . Really can't wait to see how this will end up .

Epic also discusses , how they are going to approach different stuff in the game . So be sure to check out the following video and share your thoughts .

Footage : 1:30-10:40 approx .

best looking visuals for next gen I've seen so far, looks better than any xb1 or ps4 exclusive shown so far.

It really looks amazing .

That looks stupendous, I love how clean everything is.

Lacks originality, but technically impressive.

No.

Looks good, I like that simple white and orange look, they should continue in that direction. You can see how he's improvising with a lot of pipe meshes and generic sci fi/industrial objects to make the environment, like he said they have to make individual designs for the doorways and some columns to really flesh it out, as this is only a prototype.

It will probably look absolutely amazing once they approach release.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but what makes you feel that way, and what in your opinion would have originality in this sort of thing?

Is that Halo 2A? :o :P

Of course I jest, looks very nice.

Looking good. Lets see how the character models look.

As someone with certain high tastes, I always preferred Quake 3's primarily Gothic architecture to unreal tournaments sci-fi settings.

It is not even on consoles and it is created by both old UT devs and fans together . How exactly is it game for console crowd .? We haven't even seen gameplay of it yet .

Wow, that's impressive. Now I want to see some character models. I hope it's almost CGI level like that.

There's just no character to the design. It is the most basic of basic in terms of color and shape. That footage they showed looks like it could fit in any real world game out there. I can see the sci fi inspiration, but there's nothing that distinguishes it.

When you look at Halo, you know it is Halos world. When you look at Mario you know it is Marios World. People often say "well, Halo looks cartoony and Marios visuals are too childish." Fact of the matter is that in reality these two games are some of the more complex games, artistically.

The lighting looks great and the graphical detail is nice aswell, but what i really want is gameplay. It could look like a 2010 game, but aslong as it's fun and plays like a fast paced twitch shooter, like UT2K4 (for me atleast), i'll be more than happy. Please be good.

Looks better than UC4 & UC4's cutscene graphics will be a step above gameplay anyway, graphics king i would say

Mother of god. Unreal 4 engine is the real deal.

You're judging the game's art direction by a conceptual prototype made out of recycled pype and industrial meshes.

Once it's done, you'll see some really, really original ideas. Epic has some of the most talented artists out there, that's why Gears of War was so good visually.

You'll be seeing gameplay videos later this year because I think they said that they'll release something playable at the end this year (or early next year) , some sort of alpha etc .

Yea develop a high end pc game with mod support for the console crowd makes sense right?

I disagree, unless by 'character' you simply mean unrealistic.

What is amazing about Epic's artstyle, and why I personally feel it IS fairly original, is that their environments can tell many stories just by looking at them. Each surface or pipe looks like it has a real function, rooms look like they have been lived in, even if they are clean, every nook, cranny and gap looks deliberate and with purpose, unlike a lot of games where they will stick a vent here because it looks cool, or a pipe there because there hasn't been any for a few paces.

Combined with that, there is the staggeringly good technical power of the Unreal 4 engine and I feel you have a winner.

I'm stating what I think of what was shown just like everybody else. Unreal was never really impressive. It was always more about a solid engine. It even seemed to be hinted at in the video that the levels were going to be simplistic in visual terms, as to not get in the way of the actual level design, etc.

That color scheme reminds me of half-life.

I disagree with you guys claiming it's the greatest looking thing ever however, really hard to judge that just looking at a few walls and a floor. It looks rather bland.

from an early build leak

Lol that's what was said about Unreal Engine 3 too lol

Probably because in 2005 when games were being made on the engine, it was that much better than everything else.

Yep which is whats happening now lol Next Gen they'll be repeating the same thing. Unreal Engine 5 is the real deal

And it became true.

Warhammer 40k space hulk run on unreal 4.

and thats in game graphics

Not the point and not your convo :P

Agreed..

Man I hope this is good. Hopefully there's vehicle combat as well, 40k has the baddest ass stuff.

Exactly.

I do like to interfere in other people's conversations.

This is neither leak nor representative of in-game characters . This is concept art/prototype version of base model . They share such stuff every week .

This game makes me happy.

It's been so long since a proper arena shooter has come to PC. I have been so lost trying to find a good multiplayer FPS in recent years.

Let's just hope this one doesn't turn out worse than UT3. Seeing that it's a PC exclusive gives me great hope it won't be.

Star Citizen, Unreal, Dreadnaught, several multiplats on pc-ultra....

it didn't take long for PC to wipe console gfx to the floor...it usually takes a tad longer at the start of a new gen. Nice job PC!

Yeah , because consoles were already outdated this time around .
