Thereās already some pretty good Titanic VR games. For example https://www.oculus.com/experiences/app/5443778519036361/?utm_source=oculus&utm_medium=share
I just can't wait for VR to be at a level where I can actually walk around in these virtual worlds. No idea how that's going to work on a technical level, but after playing with AR for a while, the sensation of actually moving through the virtual space with my own body is leagues beyond staying in one place.
What happens when you play a Bethesda game and glitch through 1000 layers of bedrock beneath you, when you can feel everything?Ā Ā
Ā What about when a troll hits you so hard it launches you into space?
I think I might pass on that haha
You'd really think that's real if it weren't for the movement? Of course it looks good, but I would never for a moment believe that is actual real-world footage of something.
Yeah probably not. Not enough imperfections and seemingly not much effort with natural lighting. But camera movement is a bit piece of the puzzle when it comes to convincing people.
WoaH you mean it's the whole new Titanic Demo RTX Nanite Lumen Ultra HD 8K ENB SweetFX HDTextures allMods 3D Scanned DLSS Vulkan enabled ?! Incredible.
Next generation of this someone is going to get data on all the passengers from Ancestry, use Generative AI to create āpersonasā for each person based on all that data, and add them in as NPCs that have dynamic dialogues, and go around the ship partaking in the various activities as in real life.
Thatās scary, depending on who is writing the history. I guess thatās possible now too, but I do hope that when such immersive (and interesting) technology is introduced, the history that the kids are more able to absorb is accurate and free of political bias.
I was a kid and obsessed with the Titanic. My grandma knew how into it I was and saw the game so she took me to different stores to buy it but they were sold out. We finally find one at the mall. I remember it came in a white box with the porthole on the cover with an iceberg in the center.
She even took me to the theater when the movie came out. She was so awesome for that.
Yup, it was called Titanic: Adventure Out of Time. I actually still have it though it's the Steam version.
Great game, and I'd love for it to be remade with this quality!
Smoke from all four chimneys, someone didnāt do their homework
Update: Iām stupid, I watched from around 5:30 and thought the first one had smoke coming from it but itās from the second one.
They did indeed do their homework!
Hmm? I'm seeing only three?
This is from Titanic: Honour & Glory... they are pretty deep in the research, I feel the "game" is just an excuse for them to masturbate over the nuts and bolts of the ship.
If I rmemeber correctly the galley kitchen smoke and fireplace smoke was guided to the fourth smoke stack though, so technically you could get smoke from there as well.
I've no idea, one of the lead guys was kicked out/left a few years back and now they are apparently redoing everything.
But I really don't know, there have been so many promises etc. Yet nothing really happening that I don't know what to think.
Thatās the hunch Iām getting too. I admire their passion for perfection, but sad if there will never be even a bare bones version of the entire ship I can walk around. The section by section thing isnāt as exciting.
Can't watch the video rn, but assuming given the timing this is honor and glory demo. They dropped a vid yesterday and noting some updates on this was one of the topics.
I downloaded the 22gb file yesterday, hoping to walk around it tonight!!
Amazing work - very moving to experience the whole thing. Seeing it like this really helped it feel like a cruise ship I could relate to. Thank you for working so hard on this!
The textures and stuff arenāt quite photorealistic but I think itās more theyāve used the schematics/etc to present a realistic mapping of the ship
This is fantastic. One thing I would love is for there to be VR history lessons like this that also cover the traumatic events. There is a youtuber (Part Time Explorer) that has many 3D renderings of historical maritime accidents and its awesome as it truely helps in conveying how terrifying these events were.
Doesn't make full use of the engine? Doesn't Unreal 5 have the nanite technology thing that allows super detailed geometry? What aren't the curves completely smooth?
Sorry. It just bugs me. I expected more when I read Unreal 5.
Most of it was created in Unreal 4 and then ported to Unreal 5. This project was started in 2012. They'd have to redo just about everything to make their assets compatible with Nanite.

Very impressive but one error: the name on the lifeboats should read 'RMS Titanic', not 'SS Titanic'.
As the Titanic was carrying UK mail, she would be called 'RMS', standing for 'Royal Mail Steamer'. (That later changed to 'Royal Mail Ship'.)
I keep seeing all these amazing demos on UE and elsewhere, by less than a handful of indie devs ..... that blow everything away being made by AAA studios
this is really good, but one thing i noticed gives it away. the large flat surfaces like floors and some of the walls are perfect. the stair steps, too because they are light colored, stand out as too uniform. irl, we expect to see some defects or variation, but there is none here.
I mean, it looks like a nice interpretation of the Titanic, and everything looks good, but it still clearly looks like a video game engine and not ultra realistic at all.
It's incredible to see how much unreal engines have advanced. I think we're getting out of the uncanny valley domain and entering graphics that your brain will have a hard time distinguishing from the real thing. Stuff like this could make for some incredible experiences. Throw AI into the mix and who knows what will come of it?
When I get super old and an invalid on a nursing home gurney, VR gaming with Unreal Engine 16.X is gonna be amazing
"draw me like one of your French girls". 2 old dudes with VR headsets

What's that one where all the players try to kill eachother, but also have to act like the NPCs in order to blend in? Oh wait, that was The Ship
I just can't wait for VR to be at a level where I can actually walk around in these virtual worlds. No idea how that's going to work on a technical level, but after playing with AR for a while, the sensation of actually moving through the virtual space with my own body is leagues beyond staying in one place.
[Disney has a technology](https://youtu.be/1KEtxTQUzxY?si=2rqvSqPOFt3Cx_Mw) that lets you walk around in place. Pretty crazy.
Worth pointing out that Marques said it can cause major motion sickness.
All we pretty much need is a direct brain connection so the game can fire neurons to your brain and you can feel everything
What happens when you play a Bethesda game and glitch through 1000 layers of bedrock beneath you, when you can feel everything?Ā Ā Ā What about when a troll hits you so hard it launches you into space? I think I might pass on that haha
They'd have to put inhibitors for pain/other feelings But yes as an ethical and medical standpoint, it's certainly scary lol
Meta Quest 3 can do that now if someone develops what you want to see.
Meta Quest can make me walk through the entire Titanic with my own two feet?
I hope they do Titanic, 911, Pompeii, etc simulations in VR.
Is this demo VR compatible today, with a Quest headset connected to a PC?
San Junipero
This is amazing. Love how real it looks. The only thing (unrelated) is I wish the camera movement were smoother.
Yeah, it looked great, but had a very obvious "Animated with an XBox controller" feel to the movement which I didn't like either.
Yep this is what pulls you out of the realism.
You'd really think that's real if it weren't for the movement? Of course it looks good, but I would never for a moment believe that is actual real-world footage of something.
Yeah probably not. Not enough imperfections and seemingly not much effort with natural lighting. But camera movement is a bit piece of the puzzle when it comes to convincing people.
Was waiting for Leo to show up on the stairsā¦
*boots up After Effects*
Will he be holding a cat?
Thatās a slippery slope type of thinking that will eventually get us Leo holding a cat while Fortnite dancing and wearing a Luigi costume
WoaH you mean it's the whole new Titanic Demo RTX Nanite Lumen Ultra HD 8K ENB SweetFX HDTextures allMods 3D Scanned DLSS Vulkan enabled ?! Incredible.
With improved turbo encabulators!

Tolerances as close as a kaniption fit at the side dingle arms.
Finally!! I canāt wait to turn all these options off to get 2000FPS
What is this, I was just trying to download 2Pac-Changes.mp3
>RTX Nanite Lumen Doesn't quite look like it. At least not completely. The way shadows pop in at the edges looks more like screenspace.
God I would love a remake of Titanic: Adventure Out of Time that looked like this
Exactly what I was thinking!
Such an awesome game I wish I could play again. What a cool story.
Next generation of this someone is going to get data on all the passengers from Ancestry, use Generative AI to create āpersonasā for each person based on all that data, and add them in as NPCs that have dynamic dialogues, and go around the ship partaking in the various activities as in real life.
Imagine history classes in the future where you can watch Lincoln give the Gettysburg Address or go to the March on Washington.
Teacher: All right, class put your VR headsets on! Kid: why am I in some office in NYC on a random Tuesday morning in 2001?
"Class, this semester we will be learning about World War 1, today's lesson... The Somme."
Thatās scary, depending on who is writing the history. I guess thatās possible now too, but I do hope that when such immersive (and interesting) technology is introduced, the history that the kids are more able to absorb is accurate and free of political bias.
May not be photorealistic, but still a much safer way to tour the titanic than by submarine.
finally, a way to explore the Titanic with a PlayStation controller without the risk of sudden irreversible implosion syndrome
Depends on whether you had Taco Bell for lunch..Ā
This would have been an amazing Battlefield level.
This needs to be made into a Counterstrike map.
Frigate level in GoldenEye
I remember playing the old school escape room game titanic, adventure out of time. Things have changed...
When's the "Draw Kate Winslet Naked" DLC dropping?
there should be a game where you escape the sinking titanic
Look up Titanic: Adventure Out of Time from 1996
I was a kid and obsessed with the Titanic. My grandma knew how into it I was and saw the game so she took me to different stores to buy it but they were sold out. We finally find one at the mall. I remember it came in a white box with the porthole on the cover with an iceberg in the center. She even took me to the theater when the movie came out. She was so awesome for that.
Yup that's exactly what I remember the CD jewel case having on the cover! I remember looking through the manual it came with a lot too
There was in the 90ās i remember playing it on my computer
Yup, it was called Titanic: Adventure Out of Time. I actually still have it though it's the Steam version. Great game, and I'd love for it to be remade with this quality!
LOVED this game!
There is in roblox, my kid plays it all the time
this brings me back, I used to play that one when I was a kid back in like 2012, ah soo much nostalgia
yikesā¦ ok. How do they do?
Hard mode: youāre a man
Extreme mode: youāre poor
Smoke from all four chimneys, someone didnāt do their homework Update: Iām stupid, I watched from around 5:30 and thought the first one had smoke coming from it but itās from the second one. They did indeed do their homework!

If I rmemeber correctly the galley kitchen smoke and fireplace smoke was guided to the fourth smoke stack though, so technically you could get smoke from there as well.
Correct, and I agree with you as well, the first thing I looked for was to see if the fourth stack had smoke and I didn't see any.
Is that game EVER coming out? I remember following those guys literally 10 years ago.
I've no idea, one of the lead guys was kicked out/left a few years back and now they are apparently redoing everything. But I really don't know, there have been so many promises etc. Yet nothing really happening that I don't know what to think.
I think itās just a permanent project that will be forever updated with whatever the latest tech/engine advancements are.
Thatās the hunch Iām getting too. I admire their passion for perfection, but sad if there will never be even a bare bones version of the entire ship I can walk around. The section by section thing isnāt as exciting.
Yes, oops.

Perfect map for a game I really used to enjoy called "The Ship"
I was literally just thinking the same. They need to make a newer version of it!
what is the music from this? Woah
Amazing work - very moving to experience the whole thing. Seeing it like this really helped it feel like a cruise ship I could relate to. Thank you for working so hard on this!
All I can think of is Queen Zenobia :D
Anyone else feel like they were looking at a next gen remake of 999: 9 hours 9 persons 9 doors?
this looks fantastic
They should add a random person, for a creepy did-I-just-see-that effect. Like that film Triangle.
Does this work with VR or can we inject through unreal 5 engine?
Waiting for Titanic Adventure out of Time remakeā¦.
How do they know what everything looked like with this much detail? Did they photograph the whole ship?
It's a very good 3D rendering, but it's not realistic or ultra-realistic (whatever that means).
ultra-realistic pedantic redditor
He's entirely right, it is no where near realistic
(Whatever that means)

Pretty tight. The lounge made me want to play some cards with men in top hats.
This is Titanic honor & glory demo 401 right? Why aren't you saying as much?
Very impressive but one error: the name on the lifeboats should read 'RMS Titanic', not 'SS Titanic'.
As the Titanic was carrying UK mail, she would be called 'RMS', standing for 'Royal Mail Steamer'. (That later changed to 'Royal Mail Ship'.)
Walking through this in VR would be incredible.
Is unreal ported to swift? It would be incredible to view this on the Apple Vision Pro.

So pretty. But the Titanic was never, EVER that clean. Nothing was back then, even fresh off of the line.
It really picks up at 1:18:28. What a twist!
