We all know that Unreal Engine 5 can pump out some seriously impressive visuals, but this freshly revealed effort from South Korean publisher NCSOFT is up there with the absolute best next-gen showcases that we've seen.
The ambiguously titled Project M is set to be a story-driven title not dissimilar from something like Detroit: Become Human, where your decisions shape the narrative. Again though, it's the graphics that really sell the in-development title at this early stage — it just looks ridiculously good. Project M is aiming to release on consoles, but we don't have any specifics yet.
What do you make of Project M? Give your eyes a rub in the comments section below.

Looks like a Quantic Dream title, for better or worse...
Very cool.
@mus422 I miss Heavy Rain
@theMEGAniggle
"Jason!"
"JASON!"
I'll happily admit, I love the Quantic Dream games, warts and all
Me: "Wow."
Pushsquare: "Can you think of something more to say?"
Me: "Wow...wee?"
Project M looks pretty different from what I remember... Does it still have wavedashing?
Jokes aside, it looks interesting.
I prefer this Project M

So my impressions of this: looks VERY Quantic Dream, but I don't think that's a bad thing, what I do think is a bad thing is that the environments look stunning - filmic quality even - but the characters have that Unreal 4 look to them and they don't gel with the scenes as much as I'd like. Is it just me?
@Orpheus79V props for the possibly obscure reference. Smash Bros is LIFE.
A Quantic Dream type of game based in Japan? Where do I pre-order? haha
@Gbarsotini Your Steins;Gate pfp pleases me (as someone who got a divergence meter tattooed on my right arm).
@Gbarsotini I Think It's Taking Place In Korea Which Would Be a Nice Change.
Ooooooo def keep an eye on this one!
Beautiful looking game.. but I can’t stand to be forced into subtitles.. I use subtitles a lot because I’m deaf in my right ear, but it’s more of a -did I hear that correctly- thing on occasion.. idk how I’m suppose to pay full attention to the graphics if my constantly having to read! More power to you guys who love it.. hope it’s as good as it is beautiful!
@shadow2k This game is absolutely incredible, best one about time travel that I know, and Hououin (Hoooououin) Kyouma is awesome! Very nice idea for a tattoo, which numbers are in yours?
Looks incredible. I can’t wait to see more details!
@Areus "revealed effort from South Korean publisher".. Yeah, I should have paid more attention.. haha.. but you´re right. I personally know very little about SK, so this is indeed a nice change.
Detroit become south korea😂😳😄🤔.looks really amazing.word up son
@Gbarsotini I watched the anime first as it was out before the game here in the UK, but I inhaled the whole series in two days I was hooked from episode 1. I did then preorder the El Psy Congroo edition of the PS3 game from Rice Digital the second it went live so I got the numbers 1.130209, to symbolise: "no matter what people say that you can't do it alone, one person CAN change the future" (my Divergence Meter is over 1%). It was my 30th birthday present from my cool mum
If they want to sell this on next gen graphics then they seriously need to improve the lighting. I’m just not seeing the greatness here.
Coming to consoles & PC & not ending up looking as good as when it was first shown I bet (it happens all the time)
@Carl-G the magic of pre-rendering. Gaming companies have been doing it for years, even (maybe most egregiously) Sony.
What will this game’s rating be? T for Teens?
Nah, of course it will be rated M.
@CastelloGG Does that matter?
@Turismo4GT 🤣🤣🤣☠☠☠
These kinds of games aren't usually my cup of tea but I do respect them. And this one is by a Korean studio, set in SK and using UE5 so it has my interest.
I will get this for sure.
@jFug Kinda missed the joke there, my friend.
@FuriousMachine I love how the variations are
"JAsonnn!"
"jason"
30fps quick time fest? no thank you
@Gbarsotini @shadow2k @mus422 It's definitely giving me Detroit Become Human vibes...minus the robots.
I still need to play thru the Quantic Dream games, maybe one day.
Looks very cool. Maybe Clive Barker would like to have a word with them though
@dimi I think it's about time they made a game about that box.
What's wrong with Quantic dreams games lol Fahrenheit , beyond two souls , heavy rain & Detroit become human are all great
Makes me curious how a true next gen Yakuza game (or whatever studio RGG cooks up next) will look like. I assume they'd continue using their in house engine though.
So basically it's about interactive controlls inside video sequences...mmm...#itsa(night)trap !!
English version would be nice.
I appreciate mention of Detroit because it was a superb game. Very underrated because of naive or woke critics who didn’t understand much of the story. Even push review didn’t know the difference between android and cyborg and thought androids similar faces were a bad thing when the whole point was appearance doesn’t matter 🙄.
@JJ2 English subs will be fine
After trudging multiple times through Heavy Rain for the platinum, I don't see myself playing another game in the same vein.
Game looks gorgeous though. Let's hope that is shows off some stunning developments in tech.
@shadow2k Your mom is really really cool for giving you this gift. What a cool idea, Divergence Meter over 1%, the message is great!
They seem to avoided the uncanny valley for now. Hopefully the final product also manages to achieve this.
