Epic Games' chief technology officer Kim Liberi speaking with the Official PlayStation Magazine in an interview discussed the power of the next generation consoles, the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5, and how they will make games more immersive.
He says the next generation consoles will have the power to make real-time computer graphics be as believable and realistic as they are in the movies.
"It has been a lifelong dream of mine that real-time computer graphics, and in particular games, can be as believable and realistic as a movie," Liberi said.
"Next-gen graphics and processing power will not only make games more immersive, but will also enable entirely new gameplay concepts that can take advantage of fully dynamic environments and lighting, much-improved physics, smarter AI, and richer multiplayer experiences."
Epic Games earlier this year announced the next generation Unreal Engine, called Unreal Engine 5. The engine will be supported on the PS5, Xbox Series X, PC, and mobile platforms. Unreal Engine 5 will be available in preview in early 2021, and in full release late in 2021.
It has been confirmed the Xbox Series X and PC title, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II, is being built using Unreal Engine 5.
The Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 will launch in Holiday 2020.

As a console gamer since the Atari 2600, I've always looked forward to what the next has to offer. I've always been amazed and notice the differences from each leap, even the small leaps. I'm glad it's gonna look good, but give me less loading times, less crashes, faster frame rates and better AI.
I want to get away from seeing half dozen or so faces used for npcs repeatedly and that includes voices,
Tim Russ played so many roles in ESO, I thought I was interacting with characters that I thought were the same one, but it wasn't meant to be like that. Being a fan of Voyager probably doesn't help either(I can't un-hear certain voice inflections).

Which as we all know, makes a game good.
On being beliveable we have been there since PS3, but now it is becoming less distingueashable.
Oh really?? I've been waiting for a demo from both Microsoft and sony to show off advanced physics and Ai running in real time, with a 8 fold amount of on screen cpu calculation and on screen action, but so far, nothing to show. The only demo is the unreal, which isn't a work in progress game. So maybe next gen isn't that exciting after all.
