I've heard of this.
imagine the machinima that could be made with it.
-
*imagines lord of the rings mod*
-
imagines his vid card exploding from the strain
-
yeah i saw that, pretty cool
-
Saw it a while ago.
OLD.
EDIT: To clarify, it is old, but still bloody impressive. Don't be so bloody reactionary.
-
The trailer was incredibly impressive - especialyl the movement - it all felt so real!
-
Shut up. Just because it's not on Xbox is not a reason for you to diss it.

Don't worry, they might port it to the 360, so you can still wank over it.
Er...metaphorically, of course.
-
Eugh. Deepblue, if you don't like people slagging you off when you post topics about the X Box, please don't do exactly the same thing to other people.
Likewise everyone else, don't feed the flame. Just talk about the damn technology or don't. It shouldn't always disintigrate into the same tired debate between consoles and PCs etc.
-
Well, it doesn't matter what it's on, its cool as heck.
:D
-
Stunning! :yes:
-
Looks alot like UE:3.0
-
Engine's very nice, but I don't really like the artistry of the actual game.
-
What Ransom said...also I'd like to know the system specs you'd need for this. Do they mention the word "Cray"?
-
Just think of FS2 in the engine. :eek2:
-
Personally, I love the art, and I would love FS2 in that engine too. Imagine seeing the orion with those graphics :eek: .
-
Why the hell is everyone killing me? It is old, but still is plenty impressive. For some reason everyone thinks I said OMG ITS TEH UGLY!
Talk about reactionary folks, get past your biasness please.

For crying out loud, stop hopping on the bandwagon already! The news IS ancient, and this HAS NOTHING TO DO with "fanboyism." I'm not doing "exactly same thing." I DID NOT SAY IT "SUCKED" OR WAS "STUPID."
AND IT IS GREAT LOOKING!
BLOODY HELL!

True, I must have seen this a few months ago, and, c'mon lads, it's really not that impressive. If you can tell me that these are ingame graphics and it'll run respectably on a system other that the computers described here (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/4386404.stm), then i'll be impressed. But for now, 'meh'...

I never said it wasn't impressive...

...Did you even read my post? I quoted you because i'd also seen this thing, and the same renders, months ago. Honestly, you are waaaaaay too defensive...
...and anyway, you should seriously chill about being called an Xbox Fanboy, it's not a bad thing! Annoying, yes, but a bad thing, no...
-
What i want to know is how that can be rendered 60 times a second on a top of the line computer, but doing a comparable render in a 3d package like maya or max doesn't take only 1/60th of a second, but instead takes several minutes.
-
Heh, one of my computers struggles to play the video in real time ;)
-
Doesn't Maya do ray-tracing? Same with 3DS Max.
Ray-tracing delivers a perfect quality image. Game engines do approximations based on rendering a polygon at a time. These days, those approximations are getting damned good, but they still can't do complex reflection like ray-tracing can.

Calm down.
I'm not hopping on any band wagon. I don't really care what consoles people like or don't - they're not going to sit me down and force me to play them so they can like what they like and I'm quite happy that they're entertained.
However.
I've noticed recently that every X Box related thread you start turns into a semi flame war with the usual suspects trying to make things worse left right and centre. Notice how the a couple of posts made after your first directly relate back to this little conflict you guys have going on?
My point is that I'm tired of seeing it go round in circles. You are far too defensive of the X Box brand (and believe me I've come close to locking a couple of topics because of the way they've gone). Others need to equally learn when to shut up and just post about the topic rather than this ongoing little feud.
Honestly, if you guys can't leave it alone then you'll be facing some form of bannage. It's quite sad to see some topics about quite interesting games (be it on console or PC) degrade into the same tired little demi-flame war.
There. Hope that's easy enough to understand. You're not being singled out - you and those who have been antagonising you now know the score.
-
I can't load up the video, so can't really comment on this particular instance, but I find that as developers advance their renderer technology more and more the relative quality of model animation has started to decline slightly. Personally, I'd rather see fluid, realistic movement rather than pixel-shader based chainmail, for example.
Having said that, it looks very cool, although quite similar to Gears of War. Same engine?
-
Well, I do know that that tech demo is running on the top of the line hardware today, so in 2-3 years when the game is released, hopefully we've upgraded by then :D, or this 1.8ghz athlon is gonna explode...
-
Not the same engine. It's a new engine developed by a 3-man team called the Offset Engine. GeoW uses the UE3 engine.
-
Saw this a little while back. It's very impressive.
-
seriously, evreything i see about this engine seems to be an exact carbon copy of the UE 3:0 engine. Mabye these guys were impressed by it, wanted to make theiir own engine money?
