Each new successive generation of graphics, we often hear a lot about Epic’s new engine, or Crytek’s new one and Unity gets a lot of press for its multi-platform outputs, but Bravely Default developer, Silicon Studio, shouldn’t get left out, as its new engine tech demo is incredibly pretty – especially the up close detailing

One to watch I guess. Be interesting to see where this goes.

All I can say is this looks amazing.

 

If graphics can come even close to this in an actual gameplay, then it's going to be awesome.

Render is booooring.

I remember a website predicted that by 2014, all the trailers we usually see for video games that are CGI will actually look like that in-game. Im starting to see that prediction come true but maybe not until 2015

[Rorgash]

it all depends, from the tech demo i saw of the new UDK engine we just need better lightning effects in games, and gpu's that can handle them better, i mean the show i saw, when they turned off all lights the scene looked worse than Unreal Tournament 1 in many ways, but with the lights it was one of the best looking things i have seen.

And what kind of graphics horsepower do you need to run this? sure it looks good, but if you need SLI Titan Blacks then it still makes no sense.

[Ashaira]

Sli 780Ti is accetable if they can run that at a constant 60 FPS.

I didnt actually think it looked that good, maybe it was just a boring scene, the detail up close looked ok but it has a really CGI look to it, it looks really computerized its hard to explain, the textures werent really that detailed, I think the main reason it looked nice was that the lighting and depth of field were very beautifully rendered

 

also in game will not look anything like this. this is pre-rendered and probably took ages to render

[Ashaira]

Said it was real time so yeah.

[MagnetSh0CK]

I'm glad to see more investment into details than just pure textures and physics. We need AI and lighting so games feel alive, that's why mmos work, half of the players aren't npcs.

[zanduh]

The textures they weren't focusing on were really low detail (not talking about FoD) and the reflection of the sunglare was clipping through pillars. 

[Nineshadow]

Pre-rendered. D: (probably)

[dtaflorida]

Remember when game packaging had artistic renderings on the front and back of boxes for 8 bit games?

 

I think of those days whenever I see a modern trailer for a game these days.

[TJ_Hack3r]

It's beautiful *tears*

[minimalist]

I want.

[ACatWithThumbs]

Reminds me of the game Reset
The engine of that game comes pretty close to that:
