Cool OpenGL based engine demo (Doom III like...)

[codehack2]

Saw a post in alt.comp.periphs.video.nvidia on this and gave it a go. Pretty impresive, and has a "Doom III" like feel to it. Definitely worth the 30mb download and a good waste of 15 minutes.

I'll let you know how it runs on my Lower-End rig.

Thanks for the link, I'll download it tonight...stupid Dial-up.

Very nice! At first I thought it was a sick joke, but once I figured out how to get it going I was thoroughly impressed.

Overall looks pretty good on the tech front. Engine appears to be pretty much entirely raster limited, you can enable a decent amount of AA for 'free' but a slight increase in resolution impacts the framerate decently. Overall looks sweet running 16x12, but certainly too slow to be playable for my board at that setting(I drop down in to the single digits in the big room when a grenade goes off). Their explosions are pretty damn weak, looks like something out of Quake2, given the rest of the engine I'm assuming that that is a placeholder at the moment. Interesting that the download actually has quite a bit more included then what you can actually see.

Some console varriables for those interested-

Map Testmap(you need this to start the tech demo)
Enable FPS
Res 1024x768
Res 1280x960(etc)
Exit(to exit the demo, you need to do this and relaunch to have the res changes take effect)
firstperson 0 (0 changes to third person, 1 changes to first person)

Models are low poly and it looks like it is certainly an example of another Doom3 style engine, not up to Doom3's levels but it looks like it should be quite decent for smaller dev houses looking for a lower cost option to Carmack's latest and greatest.

It runs badly @1280x1024 2xAA 8xAF in my 9700pro.
