You guys have to try this demo. It's incredible.

Just discovered this while discussing graphics upgrades in another thread. The Runtime download link is in the description. Just extract the download into a folder and click the executable. Simpler than I expected. Just imagine this as a hunting game. The winter version shows you what CotW could look like with actual dynamic weather physics. (There's no keybinding, but all you're doing is walking around anyway, so it's fine.) Let me know what you guys think.

NOTE: I tried cranking everything up and got 3 fps on my RX 6600 and then crashed the drivers hahaha... Works fine for me on very high at 4K though. I think it's the virtual shadows option that caused it. Only used 45% of my old Phenom II, so CPU is no issue.

Absolutely beautiful amazing It really does look nice Gelfan where can i get this game lol If EW were to build It using this engine take my money now.. EW still going to have to make the animals look and seem real to pull It off but Its a awsome start. I would love to see It some day ,or have to wait for ultimate hunting or WOTH to polish there game a lot more. I think EW could do It but It would hurt the two games It has already . It really comes down to game coming alive animals and birds and seeming real In game. I still say this If EW just redid or added more animal interactions and behaviors more realistic skins new antlers or horns where you always can wait till you see some thing new from antlers and horns everything COTW can still stay being number one . You never know about EW what there up to maybe even a new game and graphics engine.

Forgot to include download link. It's there now. I actually just found another demo for a Redwood forest. Haven't tried it yet, but it looks even better than the one I posted.

If EW wanted to kill the other games this would be a start.To be honest I will leave now to get a game like this ,but I would hope EW is smart enough to try some thing new like this some day. EW can pull It off even better than WOTH.

Thanks Gelfan

I have tried the other Hunting games and found them to be lackluster at best. Way of the Hunter doesn't even let you bind all the keys, which is why I refunded it. CotW is the best I've played as far as game mechanics go, which is why I simply wish EW would update the graphics. Game is good enough. Just need more eye candy.

I would like to see the graphics improved, but i don't think the devs will work on improving the COTW graphics engine. When you look at the devs track record it seems to take ages for them to get things done. And revamping the game for a whole new game engine would be a lot of work.

But I don't hope the next game in the series has a step up in graphics. As long as my PC can handle it lol.

That game Is far from being finished ,It needs a lot of work , I just have a bad feeling about that game. We will see later on down the road.Not being able to bind keys or move them around and no changes In antlers or horns there all the same ,I don't know but I did hear they are going to add them .

All I want are better animal animations starting with the deer walking and running tail flips and flaging tails sticking straight up and jumping on all four legs and then Bears make them sneaky and unpredictable . I remember Layton Lakes the bears If you wounded them they would come back towards you and attack. I don't know about now. Bears In the wild kill and atack a few people every year. Add snakes to the game , i played a game ten years back scary as hell In game when they are In the brush , you think Wolfs are scary , hearing a rattler will get your att after being attacked..A new game with the unreal engine 5.1 hell yea. I do know this EW could do It If they wanted and do a better job of It.

For a moment there the music made me think I was watching an ultra realistic mod for Skyrim.

While it is nice to see what a great rig can do with newer technology, it's bit of a pet peeve of mine to see playtests and showcases with top-of-the-line hardware. The average player doesn't have that kind of setup and so their results would come nowhere close to this... unless we wait another 10 years for this technology to become more mainstream. It would've been better and more realistic to also showcase how a mid-tier machine would handle this.

But yes, it does look nice (even though the smaller branches on a tree still look 2D, lol).

That's why I told you guys to PLAY it, not WATCH it. I have a lower-than-average PC and I ran those demos just fine on very high settings. Unless you're using an old Compaq Presario from 2005 I'm betting you'll have no problem running these demos maxxed out.

absolutely stunning

[Gelfan_Dothea]

Did you play the winter biome?

[MaTPlaneciak]

Shut up and take my money!

Always some one trying to rain on our parade waa waa waa going to take ten more years really lol. The way the pixels are set up way more better faster does not put a drain on a system as much lots of videos how it was made .Already have at least three games using It and another 15 games going to be they even named them on you tube just type In unreal engine 5.1 lots of videos.
