Tech stuff PS4 might be capable of!

**KungMartin90** · 10-21-2012

I thought since the other thread about Crytek and PS4 tech was popular, I thought I'd make this thread showing other stuff people might have missed that's classified as next gen and very possible!!

First of all, Unreal Engine 4.

Here's a walkthrough with a developer:

And here's Square Enix's next gen engine showoff in a trailer titled Agni's Philosophy.

Just imagine what fighting games will look like O__O

I'd stab somebody in the heart to see what Uncharted 4 on the PS4(if it ever happens) might look like.

Should be better then that.

Not sure if trolling....or serious.
I'm pretty sure some people will say the ps4 should have better graphics than James Cameron's Avatar.
Open your eyes people and stop dreaming.

Well I am sure we will see better than what UE4 can do because we know from experience that Unreal Engine will represent the base level you can really expect and most proprietary engines developed for specific games will be better and studio's like ND and Guerilla will really make the technology sing.

As for square's tech demo, I think in a similar way to PS3 tech demo's we will never quite see the level they show here for certain things, but in other areas it will be surpassed.

**Bigdoggy** · 10-21-2012

tech demos are basically their to get games as close to what you see in the tech demo. what you in those tech demos the systems wont be able to do gameplay wise, but they will try to get as close to that as they can, which is the reason for tech demos.

the PS4 should be able to do all this stuff and all games be 1080P. this gen only a hand full of games where in 1080P.
launch ps4 games should look close to this demo

A fighting game would be the closest comparison you could make to a tech demo since they both play out in small, closed levels whereas you would expect an actual RPG from Square Enix to feature large, expansive levels with hundreds of NPCs.

You don't look at a pretty cutscene and assume all next-gen titles will look like that. Developers would still decide how they want to allocate their resources. And we should know that not everyone will want to go for the most realistic visuals.

Since I first watched that Agni's trailer, they made me wish for such graphic power and also the game itself.

**NARCsnake** · 10-21-2012

it will be capable but designers r too lazy 8(

That game and star wars 1313 look so good, but I'm not a star wars fan so watch dogs is what I'm hyped about

Its easy for you to say that, I would like to see you come up with something.

Games later in a console cycle look much better than the launch titles. Compare Uncharted 1 to The Last of Us/U3

Still the thing people forget is that computing power and graphics quality don't share a linear relationship. Its exponential, i.e you need more and more power to achieve the same jump in quality

**Kauldron** · 10-22-2012

Square Enix engine looks great. UE4, not so much.

**Bigdoggy** · 10-22-2012

are you kidding? UE4's lighting and particle effects are brilliant. also, the UE4 tech demo isn't some video the guy is actually moving around and looking around in the tech demo. not like Square Enix and their CGI animated video. I want to see their actual gameplay or to see them move around in it while it's showing off those graphics and they wont be able to do that because it's no different then a Final Fantasy cut sequence.

It wasn't 'CGI' because that implies pre-rendered, which it was not.
Secondly Sqaure showed their demo in the editor mode where they manipulated objects in real time like the UE4 video.
Here's one of the walkthrough videos (I'm in class so I can't search for more)

**KungMartin90** · 10-22-2012

oh wow, not even i've seen that. amazing.

**breezer** · 10-22-2012

Of sure it will have a 1TB of Hard disk's memory and a better processor than the actually PC.

Maybe you should open your own studio? This way you can show them how lazy they truly are!

Actually time and cost to do this are why most developers wont push their games to the max. Your post tells me you have no idea how a video game is made. Only a small number of companies do it, because they can make it up in sales. They have to make a profit, and spending an extra year and millions of dollars for better graphics probably is not worth it.
