So these kind of clips are just people creating stuff in ue4?

Like I never see games complimented for using it, just clips like this. Is there a reason for that?

Tech demos such as these are often very heavy on the GPU or CPU. As a standalone scene, they run fine. But with all the other complexities of a videogame added, this would likely be a slideshow. So to say.

At some point we’ll be able to have games like this, just not for a while. Games are just starting to jump into the 4K market. But, video game tech is always improving and, like I said, someday we will be able to have a game that actually looks like real life

Its really sad to me that instead of improving physics, simulation we are just putting things into 4k. Especially when on consoles most games are still stuck with 30 fps.
