So someone finally painted some ugly monsters on top of 3DMark03 nature scenes. ;)

More like someone put the 3DMark03 nature scenes in a game.

You think the screenshots are impressive, you should see the tech demo videos. I watched one at EBGames. A still image is one thing, but to see the capabilites of the engine animated?

That's something.

I had been wondering what an obscene combination of Shivan and Clan technology would look like...

By the time these games are released, we already have supercomputers by today's standards.
Even Doom3 runs smoothly even on slightly older hardware.

Min requirements are, IIRC, the current top-level of current cards (i.e. the nvidia 6-seires and the ati equivalent which i  forget the number of).

So, given that they were talking about making the engine in 2006, isn't too unrealistic an min spec.

Of course, the other question is - how much difference will all those graphics improvements actually make to the playability of the games?

acctually those who have x800xt\geforce 6800gt can run this game on 20 fps with today super computer(1-2 giga ram, 3.0~ ghz).
and this game will be realesed at 2006 so until then... we will have so much time to prepare.

That tech demo is very nice and animation seems top notch

With all those eyes, this thing almost reminds me of a Metroid. I'm gonna see if I can track down a video of this, I wanna see it in motion. ;)

As for the computer specs, I remember reading how when they started developing the engine, they had the top of the line video cards and were still only running it at 2-5 fps, and were slowly able to get it up to a decent frame-rate.

I think you'll need atleast one, if not two generations ahead of the best video cards now available. But man, does it look sweet.

I saw all the videos, and there are some cool effects. Some guys from the CG Masters course at uni were replicating a few of them, such as the projective soft shadows - they used some neat tricks on the engine (and didn't really tell people how they did it) but it's nothing revolutionary in my opinion. The thing is, they're adding every damned effect in the book to this thing.
Probably away. Contact through email.

they sayed they had 2-5 fps on radeon 9800xt. on the new generation they have 25 fps. next generation this game will be playable on at least 40-50 fps.

Evolution rather than revolution, really.  I think that the law of diminishing returns is beginning to bite.

Nah. They'll go for UB3R-1337 3D H010gR4ph1c d15p14y5 :p

On a more serious note, I would prefer if they went for better gameplay.
