Check out the Unreal Engine 5 demo on the Xbox Series X -apkrig

Studio The Coalition showed a demo created in Epic’s Unreal Engine 5 at the Game Developers Conference (GDC) last week. Now we can finally enjoy some of the details of the Alpha Point demo. The videos appeared on the Xbox YouTube channel and making of is then available on the Unreal Engine channel.

The technical demo ran on the Xbox Series X, because the Gears authors are at home here, of course. However, the developers themselves point out that the scenes do not capture a specific game. However, this is not completely ruled out either. This would not be the first time that a real game introduced later has emerged from the techdema. And in this context, it is worth remembering that a profile on LinkedIn of one of the employees recently revealed that The Coalition is probably working on some new brand in addition to Gears.

She could easily use Unreal Engine 5 and her assets could theoretically appear in the presentation. So far, the team says it is not going to announce anything in the near future. According to The Coalition, the transition to new technology is a big task in itself, so they need time. The demonstrations are primarily intended to demonstrate what will be possible to achieve in the future thanks to more powerful hardware and a better engine.

The presentation said that the authors worked with Epic to optimize the engine for Xbox. It’s also worth noting that only the lashes on the new character created in Unreal Engine 5 have the same details as the average character from the Xbox 360. According to the studio, games on the new technology will look great on the Xbox Series. However, the whole demonstration can also be understood as a gesture. Because the older scenes of Epic Games were presented on the rival PlayStation 5.

Undoubtedly, Microsoft wanted to get out with its own demonstration as soon as possible, which would clearly prove that it does not play the second violin. The team itself recalls that it was one of the studios that was always able to get the most out of Unreal Engine. The last Gears was still powered by Unreal Engine 4, but the game definitely looked great.

The entire presentation from GDC has an hour and is led by technical director Kate Rayner and art director Colin Penty.
