It's a 10 minute tech-demo, not a legit game and that's the only reason I rate it so low, but I will say that as a graphical experience it the most realistic I've ever seen in the context of a 'video game experience' and what the Unreal Engine 5 is capable of is absolutely undeniably impressive.
When I think about how far our technology has come in such a short amount of time, it blows my mind. Pong, arguably the very first video game, came out in 1972. It was just a black screen with two pixilated bricks and a pixilated ball. We are now in 2021 and just look at our games, especially the cut-scenes in most legitimately look like movies and the new Unreal Engine 5 demo is pretty unbelievable, the most realistic I've ever seen a video game experience look. Next year it'll be the 50th anniversary of games, since it was just black and white 2D pixels. That is insane when you think about it, considering that's not a long time when you really think about it. Sure the years are double my age, but in the grand scheme of things, it's still not long at all.
It makes me wonder where we'll go from our current technology, is virtual reality the TRUE future? Will we all have outlets in our heads and be plugging into a Matrix like world in another 50 years or less from now?
