Overall, things look great and I’m pretty sure that those that enjoyed the Unity Engine demo will be really happy with what Nightdive Studios has achieved with Unreal Engine 4. The smoke effects also appear to be “heavier” and more beautiful in the Unreal Engine 4 version.

The Unreal Engine 4 build also appears to be running better (though unfortunately we don’t know the machines that were used to capture this gameplay footage).įurthermore, Unreal Engine 4 has a cool motion blur effect, though I’m pretty sure that some may hate it as it can noticeably blur the image when moving quickly the camera. And right from the start we see better lighting effects in the Unreal Engine 4 build. The good news here is that this is a proper comparison between these two builds, featuring the very same environments. However, the team then decided to switch over to Unreal Engine 4. Ride the repulsor lift back up, make your way across the platforms and get four units of Z-44 Plastique (TM).

Several elements were either altered from their original design and intentions, or outright removed altogether. YouTube’s ‘Cycu1’ has shared a video comparison between the Unreal Engine 4 and the Unity Engine versions of System Shock Remake. During its development, like all games, System Shock had gone through many changes.
