PC users can download a Spider-Man tech demo running in Unreal Engine 5 that truly brings to life the city of New York. For the last year or so, talented fans have created spectacular tech demos with Epic Games' latest technology. An Unreal Engine 5 Superman project recently took the internet by storm, for example, showcasing what an open-world game starring the Last Son of Krypton could entail. Others have also taken it upon themselves to remake parts of older games in UE5, including titles such as The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and the original Metal Gear Solid.
Epic Games showcased Unreal Engine 5 for the first time in May 2020, offering a glimpse at a desert-set tech demo running on the PlayStation 5. A large number of game developers around the globe have since licensed the technology from Epic, with the likes of CD Projekt Red, The Coalition, Yager, Sumo Digital, and Gearbox Software announcing plans to use Unreal 5 on their next major projects. Thus far, Fortnite counts as the UE5-powered game on the market.
A modder recently uploaded a Spider-Man Unreal Engine 5 tech demo to MEGA, which places an Insomniac Games-inspired web-slinger on the streets of a highly-detailed New York City. YouTube channel dwr (via DSOGaming) recorded gameplay footage of the build, showing off web-swinging, running, and general open-world exploration. The animations admittedly appear pretty janky and the framerate drops every so often, but the look of the city is nothing if not impressive. Shadows, lighting, and reflections in the tech demo deserve a round of applause as well. Check out all of the above and more in the gameplay video linked below:
Again, while Spider-Man's movement animations and the demo's performance need work, the overall build came out quite well. The busy city streets, high rises, pedestrians roaming to and fro - it all works in tandem, creating an environment that looks as though it would be fun to navigate on foot and while web-swinging.
Of course, the suit Spider-Man wears in the above Unreal Engine 5 demo took inspiration from Insomniac Games' acclaimed version of the superhero in Marvel's Spider-Man and Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales. The iconic character is set to receive an updated iteration of the suit in Insomniac's next outing, Marvel's Spider-Man 2, which should hit the PS5 on an unspecified date in 2023. Given the console's processing power and the impressive capabilities of the studio's proprietary game engine, the open-world environment in the sequel should prove awe-inspiring.
