I'm not too familiar with how UE4 graphics are supposed to look like, however when I see this I'm not that impressed :/ The source engine does the job well in making sure facility has a modernized look with the classic feel to it. This just removes the classic portion of it entirely. All in all it was a good to see what other engines can do with such a popular map.

I wish I could get phong-like specularity in the Source Engine on world geometry/LightMappedGeneric. Static cubemaps are so god-damned ugly and don't behave realistically. CSGO now has the ability but a big shortcoming is that it only works for light_environment (sun)

I prefer Fourtecks' grimier look, and the static prop/mesh scaling in his (for example, railing thickness) is a lot better IMO. The wall textures in the UE4 map look awesome because of the phong spec though.

I assume this was probably done under time pressure for an assignment though, so comparing it to Fourtecks' 10 years of iteration is hardly fair haha.

The Facility GE:S has right now is really dirty and broken to the point it seems they just don't care about the place. In the movie it was grungy, but far from what it is right now in GE:S, and it wasn't broken.

The one on that video is dirty enough, but the problem is that the walls look like plastic and missed some details that were on the movie, maybe if he changed the walls to concrete and work a bit on the floor texture, it'd look much better and like in the movie but probably he wanted to keep that N64 feel. Also probably not enough time since it's a school project.

Also, the stairs and railings are closer to the movie than the ones in GE:S.
