Unreal Engine Tech Demo 1-5 (1996-2020) 

That's because the editor skipped several earlier demonstrations of UE3 engine, most notably the early Gears of War demo from 2004, instead highlighting--inexplicably--a rendered cinematic from very late in the engine's life cycle. UE3 was released in 2006, yet he chooses a 2011 demo.

PurushaDesa it’s crazy man we haven’t even reached the full potential of u real engine 3 yet and we are already on to unreal engine 5.

@@danebeee1 The UE3 "demo" shown here was actually a pre-rendered video animation. Since it's not real time, the artists could render anything they wanted without considering performance (a la Pixar). It's a terribly misleading example of the engine. If you want to know what UE3 actually looked like upon release, see Gears of War E3 demo.

you can't compare 360p and1080p clips

The jump from standard def to hi def remains the defining visual leap of the 21st Century. So it's really the main thing that matters - more than analogue to digital, more than 3D, more than 4K, and yes more than framerate. But honestly, Featheon's critique is the more compelling one - it is true that Pixar-like demonstrations are unburdened from the considerations of money and real time performance, and need to be treated in the context of rendering on the fly. This is exactly why the "Netflix of games" metaphor for a game streaming utopia is misleading because what Netflix is doing is significantly less demanding on infrastructure.

These are the trailers not the demos. There are trailers like movie trailers in this video. And then there are demos which are narrated and run through in real time.

@@joeh858 yeah, except for the unreal 5 section. Thats a demo, not a trailer. Which is exactly what the other commenter said. Its impressive that ue5 doesnt showcase sth that might become the standart in 5-10 years, but right now

@@MrMegaMetroid Look at the demo specs to run it at 30 fps lel, maybe these kind of specs will become standart in 2030

@@tomekz6841 lol ue3 trailer looks better than any game released so far, but the chimps still think that unreal 5 demo will become a reality in a month or two. They should stick to fortnite :)

@@MrMegaMetroid Don't fall for the smoke and mirrors, its a very very controlled demo. No game will be that detailed for quite awhile. They're just showing what they hope can be achieved with it once devs really push it to it's limits

Thank you, I was wondering why UE4 tech demo does not fell better than UE3 ones

that and that the UE3 demo was very late and optimized, just a year before UE4

Jed0730 Glad I made you clear lol

@@JustBeam do you have link to download unreal engine 3 tech demo? i cant find it anymore even through google search or youtube this sucks lol

This man needs to be listened.

it still take decades to actually deliver the product once the engine is actually made, that'll be the next new leap, making it viable to create in less time to travel to Neptune

It will all mostly be better and better lighting and environmental effects I think.

Your best friend's jokes are just like yours

@@nitinm9234 Thank you

True! Can you believe 50 million dollars invest in that game and aomehow ended up like shit

thing is they were meant to be cartoony AND to run in consoles, which had a bigger processing power gap to computers at the time

It was way before it was actually used in a game, and it was one of the earliest versions, so it was more Unreal 2.5 than Unreal 3. Plus there weren't any games using UE3 that could actually show off it's full power, since it was mostly popular on consoles, which obviously set a bunch of limitations.the best looking thing in it we got was Gears if War 3, and it was an Xbox exclusive, so it couldn't show off any of the high end PC tech of the time.

@@okaybutwhythough7456 Yeah. That's my biggest complaint about the UE3 demo really. We never got any games that looked even close to it, even today as well.

Took shorter amount of time

it does take 7yrs to actually make the game, its not like when the engine is released to the public they can make cyberpunk in 4 months

You made me remember my old 6200, the times where i used to play at like 15 fps. Nice times

@@decay9831 my dawg!

I still have some UE3 fangames on my PC (Sonic GDK) But not the actual engine program itself

Not true at all in the case of Unreal Engine 1. The editor program is still easily accessible with a copy of Unreal or Unreal Tournament '99. The engine even still gets patched and modded by a tiny community of antique game engine enthusiasts.

The UE3 demo is from 2011 which is late in the lifecicle of UE3(UE3 was released in 2006) and the UE4 demo ran on mobile. Most consoles can’t replicate the UE3 demo

UE5s demo is in real time

You don't know how long time it took for them to render that demo in UE3. Probably many hours. UE5s demo is in real-time, that is a huge difference. Nanite and Lumen are huge deals, they will definitely transform the next games' graphics. We will probably not see games as beautifully crafted as the UE5 demo in some years, however, the games will still look amazing

I have in stock UDK 14-02

It's just commercial purposes, The real one is really bad compared to UE4

Look, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1m7T5ay_8DI.html

Wrong video for Unreal 4, that was the mobile games demo. Look up Unreal Engine 4 Infiltrator for the console/PC demo.

Is actually unreal engine 4 technical demo

It's about showcasing the technology, but the UE3 one was a good one yes.

@@mac5er Ye I get that ue4 is better than ue3 by logic, but the showcase made it seem worse somehow xD

The ue4 one was running on a ps4. The ue3 one was probably running on the fastest hardware they could get at the time.

Yes, because that was the UE4 mobile games demo. There's a different demo called "Infiltrator" for the full verion of Unreal 4, looks way better.

That's actually a showcase for the unreal engine 4

The demo is bad
