Some kind of force of nature prevents us from getting our hands on a good version of Superman in video games. From infamous examples such as Superman 64, through the attempted Superman Returns or the integration of the hero in the Injustice saga.
The character is too strong, which is difficult to transfer to the virtual world. However, this doesn’t stop us from taking a look at how it would feel to drive. To do this, the creator of special effects Volod has got down to work and lets us see a flight of the Man of Steel at full speed.

Unreal Engine 5 City Sample told me that he wants to become a Superman game when he grows up…
Indeed, it is simply a dummie that flies through City Sample, the city that we can visit in The Matrix: Awakens. The motor Unreal Engine 5 has been released for developersincluding the entire demo scenario to work as you like.
The truth is that the sensation of flight looks very good and the only thing missing is a good texture for the model to believe us to be the last son of Krypton. Also, to round out the play, Volod has added superpowers to the doll, for which the demo does not respond very well.

Bonus clip. Unreal Engine 5’s chaotic physics system lives up to its name…
To move with ease in this simulation, Volod has explained which has a team made up of a AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, a GeForce RTX 3070, 128GB of RAM, and a Kingston KC3000 SSD; almost nothing. However, he had trouble getting the map to load properly by flying at the speed he wanted.
The truth is that it is not the first time that we can imagine ourselves playing a great Superman game. A few months ago, another user created his own simulation of the Kryptonian also in Unreal Engine 5 and this time with the mythical suit on.
