crysis next-gen Unreal Engine 4

This is the best “Crysis/Far Cry” next-gen forest showcase for Unreal Engine 5

Pefect Vision Ramon Monsanto has shared an amazing video, showcasing an incredible forest map that was heavily inspired by Far Cry and Crysis. By using Unreal Engine 5, Monsanto gives us a glimpse at the future of video-games.

This fan forest map looks absolutely stunning. The artist has used some really high-resolution textures but its biggest feature is its lighting. I also got some Predator vibes from it and yes, a Predator game with these visuals would be epic.

What’s also ironic here is that this map has visuals that both Crysis 3 Remastered and Far Cry 6 won’t match. And, to be honest, I don’t know whether we’ll see a game with this kind of lighting in the next couple of years. After all, most upcoming games will be cross-gen. In short, if this doesn’t “wow” then nothing coming out in the next couple of years will. Be also sure to watch it in 4K (apparently Pefect Vision “stole” Ramon’s videos, so we’ve replaced them).

As a bonus, I’ve also included two videos from a different project. These two videos are heavily inspired by The Last of Us 2. Now while they look cool, they are nowhere close to the forest map. These videos are more among the lines of what we can expect to see from most upcoming games.

Speaking of Unreal Engine 5, there is an awesome Unreal Engine 5 Superman Fan Tech Demo that you must watch. There is also a video showing The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion in Unreal Engine 5, as well as The Sims 5. Additionally, there is a cool Dragon Age: Inquisition fan remake. And lastly, here are Star Wars KOTOR and Counter-Strike Global Offensive in UE5.

Enjoy!

  1. Close but no dice. Really shows how awesome and well crafted Crysis was for a 2007 game. The life like lighting makes all the difference.

    This UE5 project lighthing reminds me of 2006 Crysis Alpha.

  2. Jungle scene was OK. One thing that did impress me however was the rain running off the roofs…obviously just a texture but a good reminder of how a lot of games don’t really add a lot of rain/water effects.

    As for the people complaining about these UE videos getting posted I would like to remind you that he does own this website. I know if I owned my own gaming website I’d post whatever I felt like. That’s why I’d make my own website, to post what I want and what I like.

    Not that I’m defending or White Knighting over here but it is a pretty stupid complaint. Also the obligatory, “You don’t have to click the article”.

    Also this is pre-rendered. Might as well drool over Mandalorian vfx. Or any other 3D render. You are so obsessed with UE, lmao.

  4. Really getting sick and tired of these repetitive and monotonous Unreal Engine articles/remakes. No offense intended but you are mentally obsessed with UE.

  5. Not even close IMHO!
    Blurry as hell, static vegetation, mediocre lighting, low FOV, and it looks pre-rendered!
    Nothing comes close to CryEngine in creating near real-life jungle environments…
