SMITE 2 - Deep Dive: Lighting 

1:42 The finch is still here!

I just wanna play😭😭😭

Wonder if they could ever do matches taking place at nighttime or going from day to night with dynamic lighting. Think that could be super cool

The finch ❤

Bro, compare the gameplay shown here with the gameplay shown back in january, holy cow it's so much better!

FINCH!❤

Wish yall would of really taken full use of UE5s Nanite and Lumen for those that have powerful rigs and want to enable it.

Dude the trees look awesome game is looking great keep adding to it !

lighting: your pc's will be overheating trying to render lighting consoles: *doing okay, but descaled*

"Making sure they don't get any hitches or problems in the game." You're a brave man. 😂❤

I hope the team fights will be clear, no frame glitch and no big effects that block ur pov... and maybe a server upgrade...

Finch

THANKS YOU SO MUCH

It looks so good!

optimization is key here remember this is a moba and while visuals are awesome and every one likes nice things no one wants to be struggling to run the game incon said he was getting 120 fps with direct x 12 and only 60 fps on direct x 11 and he's got a crazy high end PC ... having a well performing game that play's good and mid range PC's can run at a stable frame rate is super important... but it's looking great i'm stoked

Is that Marcus Fenix on the shelf?

I hope when using a character with a big weapon that it feels heavy to hold it

Can’t wait to see the new Gods coming to Smite2

At 0:18 the lamp on the desk is called an INFINITY LIGHT! I LOOKED IT UP ON GOOGLE

One more week!!!!

Can we get an option for Lummen for those with higher spec PCs?

Imagine if you play during the day its day in game and at night its night like it having a day night cycle that would be cool and and weather system like rain snow wind etc

GIVE US DAT PERFORMANCE AND MAKE SHII LOOK GODLY LIGHT GOD!!!

I have a question? Is entering the jungle going to darken the lighting of the atmosphere in the game? I think that (being insignificant) would make it more inclusiveness of actually feeling like your transitioning from different environments

light and effects looks so good, but textures should be better

Order and Chaos titans as back?

"Smite has always had a certain style to it" >Art style has drastically changed over the years.

I really wonder when they are releasing it, I want to play it so bad

LET ME IN! LEEET MEEE IIIIIIN!!!

Idk.. a game that has beautiful graphs doesn't mean that I'll be good. We got many failed examples like new world (it has a stunning graphics). Lets see the future of smite 2.

Hi-rez, i got a question: i have an account on my Ps4 with lots of money spent on there, i have that linked with my hirez account but well, i dont have my skin on pc, i have my pc account linked to my hirez account too but i havent played or spent anything there, so its bassically two accounts on the same hirez account one for steam and one for ps4, when i get my legacy gems in smite 2 will it be from my ps4 account or pc or both?

Please don’t forget about joust ❤️

Will this game have ultra wide support?

FINCHHHHHHHHHHHH 1:42

PLease add Old Joust map, with specattors in middle and 2 lane Jungle

shut up and take my money

❤❤

Please let us upgrade the Founder’s Edition.

but will it have sea server 🤔

Why did they need to make a #2? Why not just update number 1

its 2024, how about you put also love in for your console players. like hovering over items, passivs on controller. for example, killing the fire giant, gets you a buff, on console either you know what the buffs does or you dont, cause you cant hover the buff to see what it does, same goes with gilgas lvl 5 quest and so on. with so many passivs, buffs and auras and not being able to see what it does scks really. there is a way and you guys have to find a way to make it happen

Lol the way it looks here is not the way it looks on the BETA, which is a good thing

not everyone plays conquest

"Deep DIve" - 2 minute video

I just wanna play bro idc idc idc LET ME PLAY

Hi Rez please im a random gamer nothing special but i played smite for years and had to stop playing it because of the lag i live in south africa and had to play on eu servers for ages please add south african servers hi rez i miss this game

The cuties staff member ! Bro u so handsome

is this the same game aas smite 1 but better graphics

What about us arena players? 😢

Ranged titans...please and thank you. The ability to kite around the end game structure needs to go.

Can you make smth with balance pleasr doesnt matter 10 60 120 lvl i play only with 4 stupid uslesss clowns always , but enemy team always normally

can we get a deep dive about textures ? Cuz so far everything looks the same. Fix textures, put some effort in them, this is 2024, we can't have poker face gods with the same polygons as 2012 smite.

free to play?

This is to defer you from seeing the same Titan running around fountain trying to hit enemy gods...🤣🤣⚰️⚰️ Got to love all the dumb deep dives about graphics like ue5 just came out

please dont say lumen 🙏

Imma be honest, the Lighting and especially environment stuff in Smite 2 just looks very Meh, it's not *bad* per se but it for sure does not get me excited. I don't really like it, especially compared to other Stylized project I have seen made in Unreal 4/5. It almost feels like random student work on Artstation.

Is that a play on finch and gold furry LOL

I dont understand the point of making a deepdive about this. or graphics for that sake. This is what Ue5 offers default. Palworld was a great showcase of this; Small team, small budget - yet world hit and hit the mainstream and news. (gameplay was a big factor in this, and market gap, but the graphics helped a ton). More importantly; it showcases just how much Ue5 offers baseline in graphics, assets and lighting. Making a video like this, "deep dive" about Smite 2's lighting feels kinda cheap/trying to take the credit for what Ue5 gives, when other lesser funded studios dont - and are more direct about how heavy Ue5 affects them, and get equal or better results - because of the magnitude of changes Ue5 offers, both in terms of quality of graphics, but also in terms of performance improvements. I understand you need to try to make some kinda point of why Smite 2 is different, but atleast accentuate how much Ue5 offers. Idk, It just seems like you currently playing up what you tweaked on it to fit Smite 2, rather focus on the Gameplay changes instead? Having videos like these next to gameplay videos, before the game is even officially out yet, just feels transparently like you are not confident in the game, and are trying to oversell it. This is especially relevant now, when there are so many other scams or low quality games coming out due to *how easy Ue5 is to use, that almost anyone can make games with these graphics* , and most if not all of these tend to focus on the graphics as the main selling point. You are not doing yourself any favors including videos like these before the game is even out fully yet. And that is not even considering the thing about Ue5.4 adding insane model/animation rigging, which likely will be normalized by the time Smite 2 comes out, (yes, Ue5.4 is already out) making talk about this now; something that will age very very poorly. Would be far different with "looking back" or "behind the curtain" type videos AFTER release, showing what was included, but doing this just feels wrong, when the announcement already was poorly done with the focus clearly not being on the gameplay; (-rapidly changing details, -too long delay on clarifying vital details to community reacting to the announcement -making it seem like Smite1 was being "sunset" for the sake of pushing this out -including PAYMENT MODEL IN THE FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT, AS IF THATS THE IMPORTANT ASPECT - despite KNOWING it was a controversial thing to include, based on your on your research beforehand, -early media interviews having Smite 2 compared to CS2 and OW2 - despite the main similarity - carryover skins - not being done the same, just riding on the popularity here, despite claiming difficulty porting - which you now already have debunked on your own, easily porting entire maps instead of having to "rebuild from the ground up" as you originally claimed.)

The phoenix and the titan need to attack everyone at the same time...they are too easy to defeat

the same smite 1 but with a 2, like overwatch... -_-

Even more toxic love it 😍

LOL @ Principle

Do not expect the game to be immediately at the level of Smite 1, it is an alpha of a new game, it will probably take 3 years of work more or less to be at the level of quality that Smite 1 has after 11 years of constant changes, adjustments and feedback.

LAG LAG LAG!

Now we know who to blame for FPS drops!

Don't ruin the art style with skins for at least a few good years please

My PC probably won't be able to run Smite 2 or it will run it on lowest settings :) Lovely :)

Not​ recommed​ for​ play​ this​ game,​ They​ Banned​ player​ without​ reason

so this is the guy responsible for the game looking so washed out compared to smite 1. lost it's vibrance and color for realism. Just look a 0:11 the "fire" giant is the cotton candy giant. smite used to have a really consistent style then it was pushed towards "hand painted" warcraft art. It doesn't match any of the default gods and few of the skins. the season 2 map matched the original art, copying warcraft isn't "smites own style"

So the whole argument people used about you guys building the game from scratch is just wrong then? Wow who would have thought :]] bozos

who gives a f about lighting?

make asia servers

worst looking UE5 game, i am really saddened

Unreal Engine 5 and the game see like ps4 game

😳
