A few folks have mailed about the release of the
ATI & Crytek Tech
Demo mentioned in yesterday's Tech Bits (
story), indicating
the initial mention of it was a bit too obscure, so here it is again. Word on
the demo is: "The ATI-Crytek demo uses same next-generation CryENGINE that will
be used to create the successor to Far Cry. Since the CryENGINE enables
immediate playability of a created game without the lengthy wait for compiling,
enthusiasts into creating 'mods' will have an easy way to make new gaming
content for themselves. The ATI/Crytek demo shows just how easy it can be,
especially since it is optimized to run on ATI’s RADEON® X800 XT series and the
new RADEON® PCI Express graphics boards. Download the demo and see for yourself
how photo-realistic “machinima” cinematic computing will change your future
gaming experience!" Also,
this Videos Page
(thanks
Frans) has one final release in the series of cinematic movies from
Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, the upcoming return of the running regent.
The "Dark Road to Redemption" is a 9.4 MB download.
