Tencent Presented Its New UE4 Tech Demo

Tencent has recently presented SYN, a technical demo for a PC and console open-world first-person shooter game during the company's annual Tencent Games press conference. Please note that everything you see in this demo is not final.

"We tried to push forward state-of-the-art, real-time graphics in a cyberpunk-style world with an intriguing universe and striking visuals," said the team. "Our characters are realistic, yet stylish, with various customization features including cosmetics, skins, and extremely realistic effects achieved with our strand-based hair system through cooperation with Epic Games."

Players will get a chance to choose one of the three factions, plus their own cybernetic pet, "each with their own unique customizable looks and traits."

The demo doesn't look like an actual game, of course, and it kind of reminds of some mobile ads by Tencent, but it would be nice if they could develop such a console game.
