Scans Factory has created an incredible Rome Italian Town Tech Demo for Unreal Engine 5.4, showcasing some of the most photorealistic graphics we’ve seen. This tech demo is available for download. As such, you’ll be able to run it and admire its stunning visuals on your PC.
The team said this demo has over 600 assets. These include building fronts, cobblestone streets, cozy restaurants, and classic Italian scooters. The demo has three scenarios: Sunset, Overcast, and Daytime. And, as you will see, it can give us an idea of what the next-gen games may look like.
This demo is 5.5GB in size, and you can download it from this link.
Now since I couldn’t find a video with an RTX 4090, I’ve decided to give it a go. So, at 4K/Ultra Settings, I was able to get a minimum of 48FPS and an average of 58FPS.
Since I’ve played all the latest triple-A games, I can say that this tech demo pushes some of the best visuals I’ve seen. Of the three available scenarios, the most demanding is Overcast. And that was the one I’ve decided to test.
From what I could see, there is no support for DLSS 3. So, these numbers are at Native 4K. Pretty great if you ask me. I should also note that this is just an empty city. While it looks incredible, a city like this with lots of NPCs will be even more demanding.
In a way, the visual quality of this tech demo reminded me of the Megacity Demo. And, since we haven’t seen any game that can come close to it, we can assume that we’ll only get this kind of graphics in a next-gen title.
Anyway, as I said, you can try it yourselves. So, go ahead and download it from the link above.
Speaking of Unreal Engine 5, we recommend trying out these other free fan-made demos. You can grab a Superman UE5 Demo, a Halo 3: ODST Remake, and a Spider-Man UE5 Demo. There’s also a fan-made version of STALKER in Unreal Engine 5. If you love old-school FPS games, you should check out this remake of the classic FPS Blood in Epic’s engine. Don’t also forget the remake of Halo: Combat Evolved’s Halo level in UE5 or this free Attack on Titan game. Last month, we also shared a demo of King’s Field 2 in UE5. Finally, we have The Lord of the Rings: Conquest Reimagined in Unreal Engine 5, a remake of Flappy Bird, and a Diablo 2 Remake Demo. They all look awesome, so be sure to give them a try.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
