obviously this technically isn't about PBR (the material algorithm) or Unreal (a fairly generic game engine) but i think many of us understand exactly what he means when he names those things and this style. death to big budget film style "realism" in games!!!
Crushing/Sign
my one big takeaway from this years pile of Showcases is that Unreal Engine 5 has co-opted or sort of, I dare say, polluted the visual language of games, where nothing stands out
theres a kind of mediocrity that comes with being "photorealistic I guess". PBR substance everywhere, but not distinct
