The worst part has got to be the bendy plate-armour.

How well that silicon worked remains a question, and judging by the fact that there was only a single working prototype at E3 and even that was underclocked might suggest that it didn't work so well.

There was more than one.

This may be a stupid question but I didnt get the impression that you were at E3... were you?

 

[Dave Baumann]

Yes. Just got home.

Yes. Just got home.

Welcome back Dave! Hope you enjoyed the "show" and get to share some juicy scoops with us soon!

I expected a bit more from the lighting/shadowing departement, that's for sure. I think i'd rather wait for the Bioware RPG that's using the U3 engine.

Could you give me a link ??

I want to see more UE 3.0 games after Gears of Wars.

I understand that elder scroll team had an r500 , epic , ati , sega and ms had a few behind close doors in the dev kits

and that dev kits with the r500s were just starting to go out the door . Not sure how true it is

According to Anand, all MS demos at E3 was done on Apple Powermac G5 machines

They also said this:

Today we were given some time to play around with everything from the console itself (non-working),

Not that i hold Anand's as the ultimate source of truth but i would think that MS would want the people to know that there was working hardware at the show if that was the case.

Edit: Though i guess that the G5 machines of course could Xenon GPU's installed.

Too much bloom for my taste. It's like suddenly my eyes got myopic.
