The Conduit tech demo looked awful at the time .

Wasn't this the first look we ever got at the HD console generation?

Oh the memories. I first saw that on a Hungarian Gamestar DVD. I couldn't imagine seeing something like this in real life Back in the days I really liked the june/july magazines. So many great news about games

I have that demo if I didn’t throw away all my PS1 demo disk. Which is something very feasible.

What kind of retro tech demo showcase is this without Voodoo 3dfx benchmark videos?

Well, you just gave me an uppercut to the nostalgia button. I used to watch Final Reality on repeat so many times because of the music in the credit sequence. I was a big fan of (but not a part of) the demo scene. Musicians like Necros, Leviathan, Purple Motion, etc. were so my jam back then. Used to crash my computer playing some more advanced Scream Tracker files lol

I remember being blown away by this Gamecube tech demo back from Spaceworld 2000. Mostly FMV but apparently a short section of it was real-time...

Haha cool thread.

I see "high detailed models" or "high definition textures" have always been a thing, even in the ps2 days.

Original Xbox tech demo:


The design of the female character would be current_year compliant.

This is the most impressive tech demo ever.

this is a personal rework of the Original UE4 tech demos. I tried to add realistic post processing effects to the beautiful tech demo created by Epic Games. You can instantly find better sense of depth, new detailed Reflections and Realistic Lights, thanks also to the use of Global illumination using also the "RT Beta Shader" from Pascal Glicher. As my signature there is an high quality "Color Grading" and many more Filmic Effects that give the last Photorealistic touch. My mod thanks to "Screen Space RT GI" and "Ambient Occlusion" add new Realistic lights and shadows around the objects of the entire screen. I tried also to improve the "cinematic fx" adding effects like Lens Flares and Chromatic aberration.

That was a PC demo, if I remember it correctly.

EDIT: It had to be. Otherwise I wouldn't have been so excited about it back then.

Still amazing

Many parts of that demo are still very impressive. I was blown away and mesmerized by The Dark Sorcerer when it was released.

What if Quantic Dream released The Dark Sorcerer II for the PS5...
