The demo movie of Unreal Engine 4 released at GeForce is quite large in size, so people can not watch it on YouTube if it is troublesome to download. When you watch and listen to 1080p and make it full screen, you should be able to feel the awesomeness of Unreal Engine 4 more.

The demonstration movie starts with the feeling of reflecting the inside of the collapsed building. I do not think that the actions such as the red flag, the shadow, the smoke which wind in the wind are real-time rendering.


The texture of a knight who sleeps deep inside the building is amazing.


Knight waking up while raising flames from the eyes.


The knight awakens and the building further collapses.


A knight who walks towards the opened door.


The outside is a snowy world. It is drawn clearly to a mountain that can be seen far away.


The image of the erupting volcano is realistic like a movie.


Finally it ends at the place where the power of the flames lodged in the huge hammer the knight holds.


In addition, Unreal Engine 4 also supports Sony's "PlayStation 4", and demonstration movies are also released.

The knight who appeared in the demo movie earlier will swing down the hammer with flames on the ground.


A crack enters the ground ...


I reached the mountain of ice in a remote place.


Then the ice giant appeared from the mountain.


And while exhaling blue breath, the giant cried and the movie ended.
