| THE GRAFICAL PART |
In this subsection of our review, the main graphical aspects of this game are revealed. Particular attention is paid to the version of the graphics engine used, the version of the API used, graphics settings and the quality of the development of the main visual aspects.
| SUPPORTED OC AND GRAPHICS API |
Layers of Fear Demo supported by Windows 7/8/10/11.
Priority and primary graphics API for Layers of Fear Demo is DX 12.
| GAME ENGINE |
Unreal Engine 5 (UE5) continues the tradition of the Unreal Engine series with a number of important improvements and innovations that help developers create more detailed and realistic game worlds. Here are the details on two key UE5 technologies - Nanite and Lumen:
-
nanite - This virtual micro-geometry technology represents a revolution in the processing and display of geometry in games. Instead of developers having to use simplification techniques and LOD (level of detail) for 3D models, Nanite allows you to use full-fledged high-resolution models consisting of millions or even billions of polygons. Nanite automatically processes and optimizes this geometry, simplifying the development process and allowing you to create incredibly detailed game worlds.
-
Lumen - Lumen is a new real-time lighting system that reacts dynamically to changes in the scene. Instead of pre-baking lighting into a scene, Lumen can automatically update lighting based on object movement, changing light sources, and other factors. This means that developers can create more realistic and dynamic game scenes where lighting and shadows naturally change according to the player's actions and the environment.
Unreal Engine 5 also includes improved tools and features for developers, including improved animation tools, new AI systems, and better multi-threading support. UE5 also provides better support for development on new platforms, including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and select VR platforms.
UE5 is also focused on promoting the "Metaverse" - a worldwide, social, virtual reality that people can freely explore and interact with each other. This can be seen in how Epic Games continues to integrate and develop tools to create shared virtual spaces and experiences.
An important point is that Unreal Engine 5 offers improved tools for collaboration and iterative design. This includes real-time editing support for multiple users and cloud sync, allowing development teams to work together on projects regardless of their location.
In addition to these technological improvements, Unreal Engine 5 also introduces a new licensing model that allows developers to use the engine for free until their game or application starts generating a certain level of revenue. This makes UE5 more accessible to indie developers and small studios, while remaining a powerful solution for large AAA studios.
All in all, Unreal Engine 5 represents a significant step forward for the gaming industry, offering new and improved tools for creating more detailed, realistic and impressive game worlds.
| GRAPHICS SETTINGS |
Layers of Fear Demo has a sufficient range of graphic settings. Both basic and advanced settings are available to us.
Below we have included screenshots of the game at various graphics settings, where our readers can see the difference between turning ray tracing on and off.
| RT ON/OFF |
Ray tracing allows you to create more realistic lighting in the game, which creates a more immersive gaming environment and improves the overall visual experience of the game.
