Since the Unreal Engine 5 is topical, another title can be highlighted: Project RYUwhich we owe to the small independent South Korean studio RYU-Production.
And when we see the result presented in the trailer below, it’s hard to imagine that only 6 people are behind this game working titlewhich for the moment has no release date or support announced but which we hope to see arrive just as much on computer only on PS5 and Xbox Series X.
In any case, this demonstrates the power of the Epic Games engine and the ease it provides for providing a result worthy of an AAA even with small means.
This title which presents itself as a RPGwill invite us to follow the adventures ofa young heroine in a particularly immersive Seoul thanks to a photo-realism of the most advanced.
Good, afterwards, even if there is some in-game images showing the possibility of playing in the third person as in subjective viewwe are mainly dealing with cinematics and of course you will have to wait to see the end resultbut given the possibilities offered by the EU5, there is still reason to believe in it.
As soon as the game starts, it becomes clear that the developers attach great importance to creating an exciting atmosphere. You enter foggy corridors, rain pelts the windows and acrid smoke fills the air. Here you are really sucked in by the setting, whereby you notice from the first second: something is wrong in the abandoned walls. The lights begin to flicker and shivers run down our spines. The arc of suspense slowly builds as we as players wander through different environments.
The environment begins to change around the player bit by bit and the initially normal manor house ultimately mutates into a devilish gorge. Blood runs down the pictures, you get disturbing visions and the entire floor plan of the house resists any kind of reality. Amidst all this chaos, it is up to the player to reconstruct past events and make sense of these seemingly random events. Who are we even playing here, who are all these ghosts and what happens next?
Has everything been there before?
Players who were hoping for an all-new game may be disappointed with the latest installment in the series. Instead, you’ll get all the content from 2016’s Layers of Fear and 2019’s Layers of Fear 2, plus all bonus content previously released. In addition, you can enjoy a new section starring a female author and a new DLC called “The Final Notes”, which is officially counted as Part 1 and aims to tie all of its stories together.
Source: PC games In the first part, you slip into the skin of a crazy painter who is increasingly losing touch with reality for the perfect painting. This story is inspired by Oscar Wildes’ novel The Picture of Dorian Gray in which the young and successful Dorian Gray loses his sanity due to a cursed self-portrait. So very fitting.
In addition, the DLC Inheritance is included, in which you play the daughter of the mad painter. In this way one can experience a different perspective on the troubled relationship between the painter and his wife.
New expansion included
Finally, in the brand new DLC Final Notes, you also play the painter’s wife, who is a successful violin player. But after an accident, nothing is like it used to be, and she has to give up her music career. The goal in this DLC is to break the figurative and actual chains that bind the mother to the cursed house.

We really enjoyed playing the new DLC here. Especially in terms of presentation, you could convince here. However, if you expect answers to the questions about Layers of Fear 1, you will scratch your head a bit. The bonus content raises more questions than it ultimately answers.
Camera off, action!
As is well known, in the second part you play a Hollywood actor who is supposed to shoot a film for a dubious director on a large ship. Here he has to deal with shadows from his past and with monsters that are after him.
The new part of the game combines both storylines, with a writer in the leading role. This also has a creative crisis and therefore lingers in a secluded lighthouse. However, this environment is uninspiring and strange occurrences are increasing.
That Sora’s announcement is a revolution in the panorama of the AI-generated content It is something that does not require too many turns to understand. That its implications at a legal level are equally powerful, even less so. The main problem is that using copyrighted content to train this OpenAI tool could put Sam Altman’s company in trouble, so… where did the videos come from to create it? This scientific engineer believes that the key is in Unreal Engine 5.
Using several details seen in the sample videos shared to publicize the possibilities of Sora, Ralph Brooks, data scientist and engineer at UCLA, assures that there is enough evidence to believe that the video creation tool from text has been trained using the Epic enginethe company behind Fortnite.
Unreal Engine as a tool to train AI
Firstly, he goes to the features of the video of the spaceman with a wool hat to look for certain similarities between the details offered by his face and those that are capable of reflecting the photorealistic digital humans created with Metahuman when recreating lips with a mustache. The same goes for the animations of people walking and, especially, the rhythm of their step, which according to the engineer are reminiscent of those seen in the Matrix demo released at the end of 2021.
But the most important detail of all seems to be in the realism of its scenarios and the apparent use of NeRF, a Unreal Engine 5 which, under the acronym Neural Radiance Field, uses photographs to create 3D reconstructions of scenarios using artificial intelligence. A key system to shape higher quality worlds in a much more agile way.
That some of his videos seem taken directly from a video game, as in the case of the vehicle moving along a road, with visual errors of this type of recreations such as the dirt loosened by the passage of the wheels only coming out of the rear ones, seems to support firmly than tools like Unreal Engine 5 they may have been key to shaping Sora.
Wes Ball is one of the directors you should follow if you are a Nintendo fan, as he will be responsible for the movie. Fortunately, his new film will be one of the most important science fiction events of the year, and the Super Bowl 2024 trailer is the perfect sample.

After the horrifying result, in a bad way, of Dragon Ball: Evolution, there were many fans who never wanted to hear anything about a live-action version of Akira Toriyama’s manganime again. But that does not have to imply that greater realism in the designs of its characters can give us something as superb as this Super-Boo made in Unreal Engine 5.
Super Majin Buu Realistic interpretation byu/DavidMunozVelazquez indbz
This is a work of the artist and 3D character modelerDavid Muñoz Velazquez, who has not hesitated to share his work on the Dragon Ball Z Reddit to the delight of many of its users. As you can see in the publication collected above these lines, the result of its creation is as demonically pink as one would expect, offering an appearance as intimidating as it is terrifying in which only Goku and Vegeta would be able to not cower in its presence.
“Finally someone made Buu realistic and true to the source material without making him look like absolute garbage.” “Wow! And that wasn’t done by an AI? It’s incredible how incredible it looks! Good job!” are some of the comments that Muñoz Velázquez was able to read in gratitude for his collaboration. The artist also explained in the replicas that he created the Super-Buu of him using ZBrush and EU5.
Heading to Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO
Immediately, many of us also thought about how good this character could look in a Tekken 8, which has just arrived in stores, or a video game with a similar visual commitment. This will not be the case, although the character, as well as other variants of Buu, are expected to be present in Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO.
