Particularly impressive, the Unreal Engine can bend to the imagination of certain artists for creations that we would probably never have thought of.

If you follow the world of video games at all or if you are interested in 3D creations, you must know the Unreal Engine. The first version of this engine dates back to 1998, when it was mainly used to demonstrate the technology of the first person view action game Unreal, developed by Tim Sweeney for Epic Games. Year after year, the engine evolved, new versions followed one another until the arrival of the Unreal Engine 5, on May 5th.

Epic Games had impressed its world by presenting the remarkable capabilities of its new nugget thanks to the Matrix Awakens demo, which the Japanese company reused to demonstrate its own technology that can be seen in the video above, The City. Today, several games are already being developed with the Unreal Engine 5, such as Senua's Saga: Hellblade II by Ninja Theory. However, you don't have to be a big studio to exploit the incredible resources of the remarkable engine.

As you can see in the video above, the creators of the Funkyzeit Games Youtube channel have taken it upon themselves to use the Unreal Engine 5 to slightly distort the famous Nintendo plumber. The timeless Mario throws fireballs, the mushrooms adopt scary attitudes and the whole thing is bathed in an atmosphere that may not be as technically impressive as The City, but is just as successful. This Super Mario RTX, as it has been called by its authors, is not a game, it is a simple technical demo. We doubt it, but who knows, maybe Nintendo will like it?
