Unreal Engine 5 Demo Shows off the First PS5 Gameplay Footage

May 27, 2020 by admin Leave a Comment

Despite a few proverbial spanners thrown in the works of the games industry by the COVID-19 pandemic, the next generation of video games is firmly on the horizons, with both the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X consoles set to launch in the fall. Revealing the exciting new game engine Unreal Engine 5 (the successor to Unreal 4 – an engine that is used a huge amount by developers currently in a huge range of different projects) at a Summer Game Fest live stream, Epic Games also simultaneously revealed the first gameplay footage that we’ve ever seen from a completed PlayStation 5 unit.

Want to find out more about the newest Unreal Engine, and what the PlayStation 5’s gameplay could look like when it releases later this year and begins growing its library? Here’s some more information on the engine itself, what it can do, and also its availability on some of the other different platforms in the future.

Modern Engine Components

Using a voice-over narration throughout the demonstration, Epic games discussed some of the major, key features of the Unreal Engine, and how it will stand out as an invaluable tool for developers to use when creating their games going forward. As consumers simply playing the games themselves this might not say much just yet, but the visuals, animation and smoothness of gameplay when rendering in different objects sort of speaks for itself.

For those interested in finding out some of the more in-depth bits and bobs that go under the hood of the new engine, here are some of the key features turning industry heads:

  • Unreal’s Nanite technology is part of what makes the individual textures and assets seen in the tech demo look so great, and refers to the engine’s ‘virtualised geometry’ system. Managing to process and smoothly generate billions of triangles that give assets an immense amount of smoothness, the system allows for film-quality assets to be simply transferred into game scenarios rather than watered down and simplified for different versions. Speaking in a Q&A session after the demo showcase, Epic devs stated how this improvement over their engine formula would not only help with game development, but also with film studios and animation companies using the software for purposes other than what previous Unreal Engine iterations had been intended for.
  • Epic also shed some light on Lumen during their showcase, which is their incredible fully dynamic real-time lighting system for the engine. Developers will be able to manipulate where light falls and move it around as they please, seeing the fruits of their labour and replicating where desired rather than having to recreate perfect scenes each time depending on the terrain. The lighting will also even have an effect on creature and animal AI, such as bugs scattering away when you shed some light on them in a dark cave.

Breaking Down Walls

While the new Unreal demo shown as part of Geoff Keighley’s Summer Games Fest Livestream calendar was recorded directly from a PS5, with Epic CEO Tim Sweeney singing the praises of the hardware, the engine itself will be available for a wide range of different platforms, making sure that any company offering game development services will be able to utilise it in order to make the best games possible for the hardware they are on. This extends not only to the new Xbox and PC rigs in the coming years, but it will also be available on mobile devices, too, showing the adaptability of the engine and Epic’s Ability to optimise for differing levels of hardware.

During this event, the global phenomenon that is Fortnite was revealed to be a PlayStation 5 launch title, but it was also announced that the game would eventually be getting ported into Unreal 5, allowing for even further development of that title as an evolving service/platform.

The Game Itself

Sporting a visual/gameplay style akin to the likes of Tomb Raider, Uncharted or even the Prince of Persia series (which we haven’t heard from in a while), the gameplay itself intrigued many different fans, with many wondering whether it was going to a game in and of itself, or whether it would be playable at any point. Epic has stated that the display would be little more than a demo, but it was scheduled to be playable at industry events that have been cancelled, and so it’s not outside the realm of possibility that we could see a version uploaded to the PlayStation store once the console launches. While it might not offer much in the way of substance, at the very least it’d be a great way of showcasing the potential that the console has for the future.

Your guide to Clue Harry Potter Edition

December 30, 2019 by admin Leave a Comment

Whether you grew up with the Harry Potter series or films or you’re simply a fan of playing unique board games, it’s well worth finding out more information about Clue Harry Potter Edition. Which is definitely one of the most unique versions of Clue that you’ll ever come across.

Your guide to Clue Harry Potter Edition:

It boasts a unique storyline:

Clue Harry Potter Edition features a unique storyline in which you’ll be tasked with trying to solve the mysterious disappearance of a Hogwarts student. Instead of trying to guess which character killed an individual and the weapon which they used and the room in which they committed their murder you’ll have to pinpoint which Harry Potter character used which dark spell in which part of the Hogwarts castle. As in example, in one game the answer may be Draco Malfoy, a sleeping draught and the owlery.

You’ll get to play as one of your favorite Clue characters:

Instead of playing as one of the traditional Clue characters such as Miss Scarlett, Colonel Mustard and Mrs. White, you’ll get to solve the mysterious disappearance of a Hogwarts student as either Ron, Hermione, Harry, Ginny or Luna. Which you’ll appreciate if you’re a die hard Harry Potter fan.

Everything is not as it seems:

Make sure to pay careful attention to the game board as underneath your game board are wheels, which will reveal hidden secrets such as hidden passageways, which you’ll be able to make use out of. Which should help you solve the mystery of the disappearing Hogwarts student in a shorter time span.

Each time a player throws their dice, they’ll be able to make changes to your game board:

If you were wondering how and when your game board will change, the answer is that every time a player throws their dice, they’ll throw a special die which will affect the layout of your board game map. Even if you’ve played Clue numerous times, you’ll never have experienced an ever changing game board which is full of twists and turns and surprises.

Beware of the dark mark:

Not only are you competing against your fellow players but you’ll also be playing against the dark side. In fact, if too many dark marks are revealed during the course of the game, it’s possible for the dark side to win, instead of a human competition.

There are help cards which can aid you in your task:

While there are negative cards such as the dark mark which are best avoided, not all of the cards which you’ll come across are negative. As example, there are spell cards which you’ll be able to aid you on your mysterious quest.

If you think you’ve solved the mystery head straight to Dumbledore’s office:

Once you think that you have all the evidence which you need in order to accuse a Harry Potter character of using dark arts against a Hogwarts student, race to Dumbledore’s office. Where you’ll be able to try and solve the mystery of the vanishing Hogwarts student.

So if you’re keen to play one of the best special edition versions of Clue, it’s well worth picking up a copy of Clue Harry Potter Edition. Especially if you’re long time Harry Potter fan.
