The Matrix Awakens

It will be available for PC, including all the assets, for free, so everyone with a decent rig can play, modify as they wish.

I played it, and the part where you could freely roam the city really looked and felt like Next-Gen. One has to wait how the finished games will really look like, of course, but this tech demo was nice :)

Edit: 30 GB download for the demo, if anyone wants to know

It was ok but I didn't get the wow factor from it. I'm not even sure what it was that caused it but it just felt jarring. It does give me hope though that small teams can accomplish something better with time.

How anyone could complain about this is beyond silly.

Cool indeed 🙂👍

Pretty cool. I am particularly impressed with the fact they are going to let people get down and dirty with it and making this an open project.

No PC demo i had to dislike the video. I know the city will be released for the engine on pc, but i wanted to run the demo itself. Im still paying for my pc, already cost me a liver in these scarce covid-prices, how the hell they lock a demo like this on consoles, still suffering with scalpers and so on? Real bummer.

My impressions are mixed from footage alone. Seeing all the materials and lighting working on a huge city, apparently seamless was a pro- but i was hoping the demo+trailer would make me guess real footage from 3d models and its not on that level yet (i could tell then apart easily still).
Not saying i was expecting that much, just on par with previous trailers/demos from UE5 - seeing images from the demo and trailer i assumed they would try to trick us or blow our socks off with actors actually being 3d. Wrong expectations.

I would probably be more impressed with it running on my machine, so i would see the framerate and stability for myself- thats the stuff that really matters.
