Subject: Re: OMG. New graphics technology is absolutely amazing!
Thanks, Gel! I saw this last night from a Boing Boing link, but by the
time I sent an email out to some friends, it had been
slashdotted/farked/etc. and wasn't there. It is amazing. The framerate
is a little muddy in parts, but geez - it's gorgeous. That bit where
they just got closer and closer and closer to that brick wall and never
lost a bit of detail... wow.
Seriously - this looks far better than Doom 3 or even Half Life 2. I
can't believe it's real-time.
