Like posted earlier though, all the Intel "gamers":)D ;)) I've heard who tried this game demo couldn't stand it.

Screenies look decidedly unimpressive. Did somebody forget to crank up the resolution, detail levels, AA and/or AF or what?

Now excuse me while I go google image search "unreal 3" to remind myself what the engine's really supposed to look like...

Will this run any multicpu configuration or does it specifically check for hyperthreading? The Pentium D doesn't even support Hyperthreading!

This is NOT a first - the original Unreal Tournament demo in 1999 was "3dfx only", though it was possible to fool it into running and then be able to access the software renderer mode by placing a blank Notepad file called "3dfx.dll" (IIRC) in your Windows directory so that the game would think a Voodoo card was installed.

I hate when demos are tied to specific hardware. I am not going to buy Intel to see this demo. All it does is make the game devs look like jerks.
