Using Intel what? Larrabee?

Is this really newsworthy? Offest Software got acquired by Intel in 2008.

Ya . Thats what makes this news worthy. This is the first demo since Intel bought them . There a wealth of new info . I am not going to link it. when its already right here for you guys with a few easy clicks.

Outstanding demo . tho. I liked. You can see more of whats going on by viewing all currently available videos. Good stuff .

 

[Idontcare]

Cool. I personally didn't care for the way it seemed to lose focus/resolution when the POV changed early on in the video but maybe that is my own card sucking at showing what the video was streaming to my computer.

It looks very "movie" like though. Green meteors though? Someone needs a science lesson. Things can't glow green from heat alone, you'll never see a green star or a green glowing meteor.

(Yes I am only nitpicking because it is a Nemesis thread, me loves me some good side-jabs at the nemesis )

 

[mmnno]

I don't get it. What should I be impressed with?

 

[thilanliyan]

What is the system it's running on? You say using Intel but give no details...and it doesn't say anything in the video.

EDIT: Or is this just a tech demo for Havok?

 

[Nemesis 1]

Well maybe not Idon't care . As you may or may not be aware motion blur is always on in this game engine . Remember earlier trailers they explained that. I tell ya that is an exciting scene put ourself in that environment with a charicter and I could easily get immersed in what I saw . I am using a 26" monitor on my browser now . So I thought it was outstanding . The sound was really good also . I just plain ass liked it .

I don't care what color would a copper metor give off under extreme heat ?

 

[Nemesis 1]

Hay I don't care Maybe its kyrptonite. Some fool over in news section today started praying for superman to make an appearance and save us LOL.

Nothing on there says anything about Intel.

Unless you are just talking about Intel aquiring the company developing the engine...

Its a cool video, but im not seeing what this has to do with anything.

 

[Nemesis 1]

Well I can't say anything other than whats known . But Project Offset game is exclusive to Intel . It won't play on current AMD hardware. But with DX 11 it should be oK once AMD gets it together. NV is in bad shape here when it comes to this game engine.

You're saying it will only run on Larrabee?

Well in HD on my 26" I am seeing great motion blur , softshadows and pyhsics. I think that video Shows off alot . I am a little surprized that intel didn't show water. Because it is beautiful . Reflections are prefect . Illusion of depth and location outstanding. Maybe on the 3rd of april Intel will release that demo.

How so?

I don't want to go Project Offtopic here, but I think Nemesis 1 is insinuating that since Intel owns Project Offset, any physic runtimes we see are based on Havok. By extension, I think he's implying that since Intel owns it, nVidia won't be able to run any advanced physics that it might have.

I think you have not paid attention . Intel said along time ago this would be exclusive to intel hardware. Not saying AMD won't beable to run it. But not without DX11. and time. Nv engine really isn't suited to this game. It may run the game latter but on current tech not much chance. Intel is going software render my friend. What is Larrabee about? SOFTWARE.

So Intel said this will be exclusive to themselves, but you're saying AMD will be able to run it provided that they have DX11 hardware and when DX11 is out. Right?

Nv engine really isn't suited to this game.

What do you mean, "Nv engine?"

It may run the game latter but on current tech not much chance.

So wouldn't that put them in the same boat as AMD? Needing DX11 hardware and the DX11 API?

Ya basicly I believe its possiable. Keep in mind this is Intels showcase game so The render pipeline should be rendered in software. For older games Tho I believe Intel did include hardware render pipeline. But I dought Intel can match ATI/NV in those games performance wise. But in Future games Oh ya. Suppose to be 6 titles released with larrabee /

Lets wait and see . Not long now at all.

Nv present tech sucks at globial illumination. Thats why there in a tight spot.

Intel doesn't need DX11. Thats what shock everyone up . Intel basicly told MS. what they better do or ATI/NV were in a world of hurt without DX11

 

[Soulkeeper]

I say Proove it.

 

[Nemesis 1]

Prove what ?

Well, the title of your thread is misleading. I was under the impression that it's considered news because Offset was being run on Intel hardware.

One thread on their forum

little bit from their front page:

"Being at Intel has allowed us access to a pool of resources we couldn't have dreamed of when we were an independent game developer. In the upcoming months you'll be seeing some of the results of this in the form of various media we'll be releasing on the site. And of course, eventually you'll see those results in the game itself.

Even though we're part of a much bigger company now, we still operate in a very independent way. We make all our own technical and creative decisions. For a team like ours, it's really an ideal situation. We don't have to deal with a publisher, which means all of the decisions we make are for the good of the game, not just to meet that next milestone payment."

there is no proof of anything other than this is a video from a game developer


nice link, but saying it is on or will run on certain hardware is just speculation.

 

[CrystalBay]

That does look rather nice...

 

[Nemesis 1]

Ya dream works is just floored by the compute power Intel is giving them . I be putting up more links as there should be a steady stream for the next few days according to info in the forums.

 

[Soulkeeper]

good work
