Finally, we did a tuning pass across the game near the end for lens flares and lens dirt. We incorporated more camera exposure swing than Gears of War 4, allowing the camera to adjust to bright and dark areas of the map, though again being mindful of performance if we had areas of the game that didn't have a wide range of lighting values, we would lock the camera exposure to improve performance. Bloom was used liberally throughout the game, though we generally tried to avoid the tightest Bloom kernel as that one is quite expensive on GPU performance. If you want to deform sand and snow dynamically around the player, tessellation is almost required to do that realistically unless you've pre-tessellated your mesh extremely high.

For tessellation, we had our own custom async tessellation shader we created that we used almost exclusively on our snow and sand Materials. In terms of how we used these post-process effects, we generally used the non-glossy high quality SSR in campaign wherever we could afford it on Xbox One (PC does glossy SSR). We integrated all the post-process effects we could from Epic's latest UE4 release into our own version of the UE4 engine, with the new Diaphragm DOF being the last post-process integration we did. Studio Technical Art Director Colin Penty: We employed these post-process effects very tactfully as we didn't want to compromise visual quality but still wanted to maintain 60 fps on Xbox One X. How did the team employ the elegant use of these post-process effects? Gears 5 features an impressive array of visual effects that include per-object motion blur, screen space reflections, sophisticated depth-of-field effects, tessellation, and more. Without the foundation and expertise we developed on Gears of War 4, we could never have explored these in the time we had. Features like Jack, the Skiff, and Escape pushed the design of the game to new places, while other disciplines were able to invest in new techniques and technology from the start. It still needed to feel like a great Gears game, but our pre-production was focused on exploring new experiences and how they could fit with Gears. On Gears 5, we started with a directive to challenge expectations. We had confidence in our ability to make a great Gears game, and from the reviews and feedback we received, it was clear we hit that goal, and that the community wanted to see it pushed further. In that sense, Gears of War 4 was really pre-production for Gears 5. A lot of our focus on that game was around gameplay hitting parity with Gears 3 (with a few tweaks) and developing new Gears combat, enemies, and modes around that core experience. It was important to us that fans saw The Coalition carrying the torch for the world, characters, and gameplay. With this being The CoalitionвЂ™s second Gears game, how has development changed with Gears 5 compared to Gears of War 4?Д¬ampaign Design Director Matt Searcy: Gears of War 4 was really focused on proving we could make a great Gears game. Watch 'The Visual Technology of Gears 5' presentation from Unreal Dev Days 2019. The Coalition also discuss some of the challenges they faced developing the gameвЂ™s open-world segments, which are new to the franchise, and explain how they overcame these hurdles. Speaking to how they achieved smooth and consistent performance across a wide variety of hardware platforms, they share how they elegantly leveraged tools like HLOD to allow more draw calls, which enabled them to develop the gameвЂ™s highly detailed and diverse environments.Д¬onsidering Gears 5 features some of the highest fidelity character models seen in a game to date, we also discuss how they used dual lobe specularity, backscattering, and sophisticated eye rendering features coupled with leading animation techniques to deliver highly believable digital humans. We caught up with the studio to discuss how they leveraged Unreal and source-code access to deliver best-in-class post-processing effects, particles, and volumetric lighting while achieving 60 fps on the Xbox One X. The culmination of their hard work has resulted in great reviews and one of the best looking games made yet.

Interviewing several members from the Vancouver, Canada-based company, they talk about how Gears of War 4 allowed them to lay the foundation to achieve Gears 5вЂ™s monumental goals, which improves upon its predecessors with refined graphics, new open-world sections, revamped AI, and more. дЅњж€ђ Jimmy Thang While Gears of War 4 was The CoalitionвЂ™s first game in the long-running franchise, it wasnвЂ™t until the developerвЂ™s second installment, Gears 5, that the studio was able to effectively make it their own.
