splinter cell 3 pc demo....thoughts...?

In that case they'll release a patch a month or two later to add SM2.0 and that's it.

 

The AI in the first two was pretty week. Everything I've read about CT says that this will be the game to break the trend.

Like you said in your post, from the looks of the demo, they still need some work.

The guns are intentionally weak. You should be only shooting at lights and alarms, not people.

 

Yeah I think my wife will ask me to buy it on XBox anyway.

Or she will buy it herself


I've seen screens with ps1.1 and the game looks gorgeous, the two previous ones were already very good on the TV screen.

Thanks.

 

BTW, for those of you that buy games not to play them but to only benchmark them, the retail version (= final build) will have a benchmarking feature. This demo (which I don't have currently) has broken benchmarking mode.

Not sure if I can reveal that but seems harmless to me.

 

How broken? Totally non-functioning or just whacked a bit?

 

Well, I don't know about you, but I get an orgasm every time I run 3dMark and see my score. Now benchmarking an actual game. . . Ooh, baby. . . 8)

 

Hardware reviewers? I've picked up titles I don't even like in the past just for the sake of benchmarking.

I just compared the PS 1.1 version on X800 XT to the SM 3.0 version on the 6800 GT. HDR, tone mapping and parrallex mapping and are not on the PS 1.1 version

Is there any change as PS 2.0/2.0b version being enabled via a patch?

I do like the stark looking lighing and showdowing it's signaficantly better than the previous Splinter Cells.

 

It's been confirmed to me -- the game does not have SM2.0 support.

 

How very disapointing.

 

wow... that bites...


any reason given? because otherwise... it's until my eyes fall out.

 

Why would the developer not have any SM 2.X support? The installed base of SM 2.X cards is allot larger than SM 3.0. Are there any technical reasons for this or is it because of NVIDIA's influence?

 

$urely there are $everal rea$on$ for $plinter Cell to not have $M2.0 $hader$.

 

Can you elaborate?

 

My wife will be happy. One less game I'll spend money on.
