I really can't wait for this game to appear. They hired an animator that worked on the movie Shrek and Antz. So guranteed it'll have excellent animation. The PC that was running the game at full speed was a P4 2GHZ and an ATI R300. When the game ships in late 2003 (which is my best guess), most people will have better than that. There will be (at least) another new GeForce board, intel and AMD will have 3.5GHZ chips out... A pc to run the game will be dirt cheap.
Think about this.. Quake 4 multiplayer. 100 players with that kind of graphics... Rockets shooting in all directions, realistic physics and effects. I think my PC just had a heart attack.
I also heard that M$ might be scoring the rights to the game and make it Xbox only... hmm that would be ALOT cheaper than buying a new pc. The Xbox just dropped to $299. Also if they make it Xbox only the developers can focus on ONE platform and make it the best ever. REALLY pushing the hardware. Rather than wasting time on compatibility with old systems. Cut months off development time and we'll see it sooner.
