It's say current UE4 games don't match the details of the UE4 demos they showed on release.

FF 7 remake comes extremely close though. That's the best looking UE4 game I know. It's expected that real games do not have demo levels of visual fidelity.

  I will say its Gears 5. Coalition has been incredible with their usage of Unreal since the original Gears of War back in Xbox360 days. They peaked with Gears 5.

    The original Gears was developed by Epic and was a very good showcase (and probably a driver and validator as well) for the Unreal Engine tech Epic developed in parallel. They describe how this is still their dynamic when they mention their goal to have Fortnite running on UE5 before they consider it ready for the masses.

  FF7 Remake is such mixture of amazing graphics and not amazing graphics, but then the level of detail in scenes makes up for it (pretty much all of the midgar slums), I don't know what to think so I revert to "am I having fun?" which is a resounding YES! I think the Decima engine would have worked better (Horizon Zero Dawn), because the bar for 'amazing' is so high. Final Fantasy 7 requires impressive visuals for its story to have impact in its original release, in all of its spinoffs, and that bar is so high now.

  Final Fantasy 7's "cutscenes" are mostly rendered in real time. I wonder why the combat screens are not as good? Someone's hack of the save files: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfZbFXSLLtk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfZbFXSLLtk

I really don't agree with that. Current games look better than the UE4 demo. See this for the original demo of UE4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dD9CPqSKjTU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dD9CPqSKjTU
