The Real Size of Solitude: Skyrim in UNREAL ENGINE 5!

Ойындар

Part of an ongoing project to visualise a more realistic and lore accurate scale to Tamriel’s cities - so here’s Solitude, capital of Skyrim - now with sixteen times the detail!
Check out my other videos in this series!

If you enjoy my content and want to help support the channel, you can buy me a coffee! ko-fi.com/liontowers3d
I tried to keep to the overall mood and feeling of the original Solitude - but obviously - well - bigger - and with some ... creative license applied. These are ending up more and more like tourism videos for the Tamriel Tourism Board …
From a playability standpoint, I’m not sure that you’d actually want something this big - it’s a lot of work for the artists and you run the risks of making a big, empty world with not much to do. But for lore visualisations like this - not really an issue!
Rendered out in Unreal Engine 5.3.1 on a 3060ti. Using a mix of third-party models and custom assets modelled in Blender, textured in Mixer. Nanite was used for all models and foliage; Lumen for global illumination and reflections.
Please NOTE: This is a FANMADE cinematic lore visualisation for Skyrim. It is NOT a mod!

    man i would KILL for you to even just make a full render of the true size of skyrim and than even more so i would love if you let some mod team like skyblivion take that and than turn it into a ACTUAL skyrim remastered..... honestly ashes of creation being a mmorpg made in the unreal 5 engine and being a world which will have a total world space of 1200km sq AND 10000 people on a server at once AND all the systems like world bosses, dungeons, world events, seasons, and nodes all taking their piece of performance but still seeming like it running on less buff pcs is still a possibility makes me SO fucking wanna see and playthrough skyrim AS IT SHOULDA BEEN with also maybe even a fun removal of all the bs dragon cult stuff and turning the badass thu' um into just the dragons language with the civil war being the one and only main focus....

    Just imagine the hardware requirement jump they would have to do this in a game when really nothing is optimized. When optimized it seems to use all the features in UE5 for it to look good requires a 4060 16GB or better. So a mid end card but the part of 16GB is the important part as lots of unoptimized parts take up a lot in VRAM. Lots of UE5 games do not do by hand optimization and use the optimization tool that don't really understand what it does.

    The video showcases an environment and that alone needs a beefy PC to make it look like how it does. Also, it's pre-rendered. Add in scripts, NPCs, AI, a multitude of other systems a game like Skyrim is running in the background, all in real time, and you have a mess on your hand. I do wish we could have world spaces like this in games but unless there comes a massive leap in computing power for consumers, I think it's still just wishful thinking.

    Absolutely gorgeous. The waterfalls cascading down during the rain was breathtaking. The one thing I would change would be to scale up the Blue Palace, Castle Dour, and the tower outside the main gates so the city has more of the original's skyline. That said, this truly has the scale and majesty that we would expect from a nation's capital city.

It's actually very well optimized for what it brings to the table, one of the biggest steps in modern gaming if you ask me. What constitutes a "low end gaming setup'' in 2023 for you? I'm fairly certain most adult PC gamers have 1070s/1080s and up (I've had my 1080 for nearly 10 years now) and as long as you have an i5/i7 from the past 5 years you're definitely capable of running a UE5 game.

    It wouldn't be this enormous, I can basically promise that. Once you have to make NPCs who live in those houses, each with their own personalities and stories, their own faces, outfits, relationships, inventories, many with quests that interweave with other NPCs and places, daily schedules for each and every one of them, complete house interiors detailed down to the nick-knacks in their cupboards, keep it playable at a good framerate, and then do the entire rest of the game at that level, too... It just becomes impractical. About the only way to do it would be to have most of it AI auto-generated, and then we get into debates about how much of our games do we want to just be AI-automated or procedurally generated just to have more stuff, vs. pairing it down so it can be hand-made and help ensure everything that's there is meaningful. . I love these videos, but I'm concerned that they'll set unrealistic (heh) expectations for the next TES game, because people don't understand the difference between a visual art piece and a complete, playable game.

    This video caused such an emotional reaction in me that i didnt see coming. My dad was a big fan of the elder scrolls games. Showed me everything sbout oblivion and helped me make choices that fit "my character" and the like. Was very much into history and the (at the time) unconfirmed viking history his family had. He wanted to see a game set in Skyrim or Hammerfell. Unfortunately he took his life in 2010 but when Skyrim first got announced in December 2010 i immediately ran and grabbed the phone to call and tell him about it, my excitement making me forget he wouldn't answer until I heard the voicemail Every time I play this game now, i feel like I've got him next to me and now its me explaining all sorts of tips and tricks. This video made me feel like i played skyrim for the first time all thise yesrs ago. So much nostalgia and pleasant memories I've now revisited. The timing is perfect as this past week has been incredibly trying for me mentally and emotionally. Thank you for this. I think I'll poke around sround to see what else you've created
