During the opening session of Unreal Fest Seattle 2024, Epic Games released the Preview version of Unreal Engine 5.5, allowing developers to try out the upgraded engine before its official launch. It features a brand new lighting tool called MegaLights, which allows the use of more dynamic light sources that generates realistic area shadows and can light volumetric fog.
To demonstrate this toolset in action, Epic showcased a breathtaking demo featuring a character exploring a game level illuminated by over a thousand shadow-casting lights in real-time on the PlayStation 5.
Unreal Engine 5.5 also makes Deformers easier to use, adds support for customizable vehicle models, upgrades the engine’s Skeletal Editor and Chaos Physics, improves mobile and developer iteration tools, and enhances virtual production workflows.

Lara Croft wakes up in 2175
Where to download the demo to try it out on my PC , without having unreal-engine account?
no chance anyone would confuse this for a real camera footage
Can we please get a real next-gen ES 6? I think Bethesda needs to put the creation engine in retirement. Even if it is to usher in Creation Engine 2.
The textures suck.
GUYS PLEASE DONE GET EATEN UP BY THIS I JUST BUY PS5 AND I FEEL SO SAD RN CUZ WHEN I CHANGE MY DISPLAY GAME SETTING IN HOGWARTS WIZARD GAME TO FIDELITY WITH RAYTRACING IT DROPS TO 30FPS !!!? IT CANT RUN IN 60FPS LIKE WHAT THESE TRAILER SAYS !!!! DONT GET FOOLED !!!! its kida buggy too if its in fidelity with ray tracing setting….
Now make it so games don't stutter using Unreal Engine. That's the breakthrough I wanna see!
This is not a 4k video my dude
Looks unreal
The prompted applause…echo my lack of excitement
Er, I don't think that it looks beautiful at all, I think that it looks very dystopian boring!
Why not fix the stupid AI ?
Playability is the key, not graphics.
Что с производительностью
я смогу пограть на ultra 1660 super 
(English)… hahaha and the marketing victims fall for it and really think it runs on the Ps5
these victims have probably bought a Ps5 Pro now and are surprised that it doesn't look anything like this and won't on this console in the future either 
I think it's great that Sony shows us people like this for our amusement 
(German)… hahaha und die Marketing Opfer fallen drauf rein und denken wirklich das es auf der Ps5 läuft
diese Opfer haben sich wahrscheinlich jetzt eine Ps5 Pro gekauft und wundern sich das es nicht annähernd so aussieht und auch nicht in der Zukunft auf dieser Konsole 
finde es Klasse das Sony uns solche Menschen aufzeigt zur Belustigung 
Ps5 pro is a loss and it's pretty sad that Sony is trying to promote it with a UE demo. Lol.
Remember the days when they made a big deal about destruction physics in Metal Gear Solid 2 on PS2? LOL
Define photo realistic.
Yeah, the walk is still wonky. Fix that and we buy the game. Everyone is fixated on the looks, never the movement. It doesn't move like a human, it's not a human.
is this a ps5
How is the fix for the built in stutter coming along?
Probably going to have to go below the api layer on that one.
Very nice, but something still feels off. It is like the graphics is too blurry and smoothed out.
Why is the audience clapping ?
soon we be in the world
Endless tech demos, it's all pretty meh to me these days. I just want smooth immersive VR that doesn't stutter and fry my PC.
It was about time animated porn get higher quality.
Fantastic but ever since the graphics of Crysis I've only REALLY cared about animation and control variety in games- 95% of what makes a game fun basically.
wow, no kidding on the 1978 comment…lighting, realism, detail…unreal
Forcing everyone into high poly models for nanite is a mistake.
Gamers will never see this on ps5
The light treatment is beautiful! Thanks to the programmers!
But the objects and movements: they make me sick.
I've made better too and this too they can be fixed in a short time.
Disappointing …
Make it smudgier but with more blur. I dont like how the new engines render, there is no sharpness and too much of the off center screen is simplified by DLSS. Still prefer Q2
But the question is: why? I mean yes, we can have photorealistic games but what is the point? Most of these games suck since they act like movies and want to show off how beautiful they are while neglecting gameplay and story. Such graphics are overrated, we don't need shrinking horse testicles in cold weather…
Yet they still can’t fix the janky unlifelike walk of the main characters
0:31 Yes!! Characters with speech impediments! Finally I feel represented
Wow
compression looks harsh, were the sources low bandwidth HD?
A polished turd. This probably has loss of quality when seen in real life, due to bluriness from denoising and visible noise.
Man, Playstation 10 in 30 years will look awesome.
