I mean it’s a tech demo so it’s basically an empty city to walk around in. Additionally, it had some major FPS stuttering while driving. However, this game is a revelation for graphics. It’s amazing to be able to zoom into any texture and just be greeted by the most detailed things and see cars driving while above the city. It’s truly just makes you excited for the next Gen.
Definitely leaves a cool first impression. Shame I don't think the hardware for consoles is there just yet to really hit on this game. You can see the limits of the simulation bursting at the seams here.
But it's worth noting this isn't really a game. It's just a glimpse into graphical tech that can do some real work here. The night time lighting is truly surreal and looks pretty spot on after you turn off the Matrix tint.

"we made a game that looks just like real life. no not that one. no not that one. no not that one. no not that one. no not that one. no not that one. no not that one. no not that one. no not that one. no not that one. no not that one. no not that one. yeah that one. this one is the one. it looks just like real life."
Epic, this tech demo could have been a video. I would have believed you if you'd told me it was all in engine in unreal 5 and I wouldn't have had to download 27gb for a 10 minute car chase and perhaps the lamest open world experience conceivable.
Ok in fairness, the car chase portion is decently cool. It's very matrix reloaded, and despite one or two framerate hitches it's pretty visually impressive, as are the recreations of keanu and carrie ann moss, which you really need to squint at to see the uncanny valley-ness of it.
But there's so little here to talk about. The tech demo opens with a statement from keanu about tech and reality converging and shit but then completely drops it like a minute after and doesnt seem to actually have a point to make other than "damn, unreal 5 is pretty sick huh".
The open world section after the car chase is so pathetic I have no idea what it's purpose is. And it doesn't even look that amazing! It looks like Watch dogs! And all you can do is rob cars and run about!
Just watch the car chase on youtube.
