Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is powered by the Unreal Engine 4, and the decision to go with the previous version of Epic's engine was made from the start of development due to a few reasons, including getting the game out sooner. Speaking in a recent interview with Julien Chièze, as reported by Genki on X/Twitter, Game Director Naoki Hamaguchi commented on the Unreal Engine 4, saying that the decision to use it for the second entry in the trilogy was made at the beginning of development. Unreal Engine 5 was attractive, Hamaguchi-san mentioned, but some parts of the engine are […]
The power of the Unreal Engine 5 sometimes makes it difficult to distinguish between reality and digital recreation, as showcased in some impressive videos shared online. X/Twitter user @LinusEkenstam recently shared some impressive showcases that highlight how the latest version of the engine by Epic can be used to create visuals that are sometimes difficult to distinguish from reality. The October 2023 car fire video looks especially impressive, as does the ice-sliding video. Part I https://t.co/YkZ9imkZDT — Linus (●ᴗ●) (@LinusEkenstam) January 29, 2024 This is from October 2023, a car fire running in real-time in Unreal Engine. The types of […]
Silent Hill 4: The Room may not be as outdated as the previous entries in the series, but having been released almost 20 years ago, it would definitely do with a visual overhaul. While Konami has only just started picking the series back up again, Maxim Dorokhov worked on a fanmade remake of the fourth entry in the franchise powered by Unreal Engine 5. While the fanmade remake is currently limited to Henry's apartment, it is undeniable that its recreation looks stunning, with tons of detail that set it apart from the original and most UE5-powered titles available on the […]
New gameplay footage showing the Unreal Engine 5-powered first-person shooter Instinction was shared online, providing the first proper look at the game. The footage, shared by developer Hashbane Interactive, focuses on the first few minutes of the game and, as such, doesn't show a whole lot of gameplay. The game, however, looks stunning, taking full advantage of the Unreal Engine 5 to increase lighting and model quality over current games. This video is only the first one of the three the Instinction development team will share to show off their Unreal Engine 5-powered game. The next will showcase combat against […]
A new God of War Remake fan concept video within Unreal Engine 5 has been released, and we're sure that Kratos fans will appreciate it. Created by digital artist and YouTuber 'Teaserplay' (the artist known for various other fan concepts within UE5, including a recent possible GTA 6 ending) this concept video shows Kratos from the original 2005 God of War in ancient Greece. The video uses Epic's Nanite and Lumen tech, path tracing, and ray tracing. The result is quite impressive, although there's something off about Kratos' model. We're pretty sure that fans of the original God of War […]
The Unreal Engine 5 is going to power some of the most visually impressive games coming in the next years, but some developers already put the engine to good use to remaster some of the most popular titles ever released. Earlier this week, a 3D Environment Artist going by 雷鸣 on YouTube shared on their channel a video showcasing an amazing-looking remaster of the Counter-Strike Italy map. While the map was sort of remade in Counter-Strike 2 last year, this Unreal Engine 5 remaster is way ahead in terms of visuals, showcasing how good a proper UE5 remake of the […]
Deck13, the developer of The Surge series and the recently released Atlas Fallen, is going to develop its next major project codenamed Foxtrot using Unreal Engine 5. As confirmed by German publication Games Wirtschaft, the studio is not going to leave its Fledge engine behind immediately, as the studio is continuing to work on Atlas Fallen, planning to introduce a variety of improvements and release the Wielder of the Gods expansion next year. The studio's Unreal Engine 5-powered project Foxtrot is planned for 2026 and will be subsidized by the German Ministry of Economic Affairs with more than €5 million. […]
The Unreal Engine 5 is going to power some of the best games coming in the next few years, but the new version of the engine by Epic is already being used by fans to breathe new life into some older games. MicthMakesGames recently remade the classic Tony Hawk's Underground, recreating the game's map and putting together some basic skating mechanics. While this fan remake may not look as amazing as some of the others shared in the past few months, the video detailing the development process is an extremely interesting watch. As mentioned above, the Unreal Engine 5 is […]
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was released 25 years ago, and today a dedicated fan released an impressive Unreal Engine 5-powered video that celebrates the game's legacy in the best possible way. The new video, which was shared by RwanLink, showcases an Unreal Engine 5-powered project the developer has been working on for four months. While we had a first glimpse of the recreation of Castle Town earlier this month with a short teaser, those few sequences definitely do not compare with the final project, which looks truly breathtaking, making us wish for an official remake done with […]
Cyberpunk 2077's sequel, currently only known as Orion, will be powered by Unreal Engine 5, and developing the game with the new engine by Epic is proving to be a challenge. Speaking in a new interview with The Neon Arcade, the game's lead quest designer Pavel Sasko talked about the second entry in the series, saying that it is still at a very early stage of development and that the core development team includes the first game's director Gabriel Amatangelo, narrative director Igor Sarinski and expert quest designer Sarah Gruemmer. While game development is always challenging, the Cyberpunk 2077 lead […]
An impressive original Resident Evil fan-made remake is currently in the works, and it looks fantastic in a new trailer shared online today. The trailer, which was shared on YouTube by RE Biohazard, highlights how developer team ARKLAY is masterfully using Unreal Engine 5 to enhance the game's visuals and atmosphere over the remake released a few years back while retaining the original game's feel with the fixed camera angles. Unfortunately, it seems like it will be a while before we will be able to try out this remake ourselves, as a release date for a demo and the full […]
