| 4s | Hi there. |
|---|---|
| 5s | I'm Scott Peter, the principal engine programmer on CryEngine. |
| 8s | Over the past year, we've worked hard to take advantage of modern |
| 11s | PC and console hardware, and with the engine 5.11 update, |
| 14s | we have been able to build our most immersive world yet. |
| 17s | For Hunt: Showdown, this means improved visuals, performance enhancements, |
| 21s | audio upgrades, and more coming this August, as well as plenty |
| 25s | more new features in development for the future. |
| 30s | First, |
| 31s | let's dive into what CryEngine 5.11 means for our console players. |
| 35s | We're excited to bring native support to Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 at |
| 38s | 60 fps in 4K and Xbox Series S at 60 fps and 2K, all in glorious HDR. |
| 45s | This means Hunt: Showdown |
| 46s | has been optimized to offer an immersive and visually superior gameplay experience. |
| 53s | Technical improvements ushered in with the engine upgrade |
| 56s | bring with it a leap in visual fidelity with improvements |
| 59s | across textures, lighting, animation, and more. |
| 62s | Introducing a new light cache system and specular tracing for multi-bounce |
| 66s | global illumination means we can create higher quality |
| 69s | lighting for heightened realism in those dark corners. |
| 72s | For players, this means greater depth to environmental visuals, richer darkness, |
| 77s | and even more detail for keen eyes and skilled hunters to make use of. |
| 80s | As well as this. We've |
| 81s | introduced improvements to both character models and environmental features. |
| 85s | More accurate physically based lighting for hair shading means |
| 88s | those beards have never looked so good. |
| 91s | While water and rivers now have improved |
| 93s | flow, turbulence and foam for increased realism. |
| 96s | These subtle details make for a significantly more natural |
| 99s | and realistic feel to the world of Hunt: Showdown, contributing to a more deeply |
| 103s | engaging experience overall. |
| 109s | For CryEngine. |
| 110s | Cutting edge performance |
| 111s | is always at the forefront of our minds when working on new features and upgrades. |
| 114s | With this in mind, we are taking advantage of upscaled performance with DLSS |
| 118s | 2.3.1 and FSR 2.1.2 for players. |
| 123s | This technology not only means a performance boost |
| 125s | in terms of running games at a higher frame rate, |
| 128s | but sharper, more detailed graphics, visual effects, and more. |
| 131s | Improving performance |
| 132s | will continue to be a priority as we move beyond the August launch. |
| 137s | We are working on reducing controller latency with improved frame pacing |
| 140s | and Nvidia Reflex integration, as well as building on the improvements |
| 143s | we've already made to loading times with Direct Storage. |
| 150s | The backend of Hunt: Showdown |
| 151s | supports the persistent player |
| 153s | profile, shopping, and progression outside of individual game sessions, |
| 157s | and this is something we've been working to improve for launch. |
| 160s | From August onwards, players will notice a more responsive backend, meaning |
| 163s | a more seamless experience in the store and across Bloodline interactions. |
| 167s | The changes also mean we're able to reduce instances of service downtime |
| 171s | in the future. |
| 175s | CryEngine 5.11 |
| 176s | also introduces significant updates to Hunt: Showdown's immersive audio. |
| 180s | First of all, we are carefully refining the game's audio mix, |
| 183s | improving our very own CrySpatial audio technology, and adding an audio slapback |
| 187s | ecosystem for improved clarity and sound definition. |
| 202s | Additionally, |
| 203s | we are providing new ways to experience Hunt's award-winning audio. |
| 206s | Dolby Atmos and other spatial audio |
| 208s | technologies will be available on all platforms for headphone users. |
| 212s | PC and Xbox |
| 213s | owners will benefit from Microsoft Sonic for headphones, while PlayStation |
| 216s | 5 owners specifically will benefit from Tempest 3D audio compatibility. |
| 220s | No matter what your audio setup, you will be even further immersed |
| 223s | into the Hunt: Showdown world. |
| 226s | We can't wait to reveal |
| 227s | even more details for our upcoming August launch. |
