This isn't a tech demo. A proper tech demo is someone using a controller to interact with the surroundings. This is a pre animated video using a 3d engine. It's quite poor. Sony's previous stuff was better than this. Also dodgy framrate. I actually think the PS2 could have done this. As it's not ingame. The processor would have to work hard at this at all. |
yes, it is in game. using an engine means that you could interact with it if you wanted to. If its not that, all it is is a video, and the ps1 could have played it. think about it, if its not using in game stuff, its just a video that you play. i mean look at the cutscenes in FF7 for ps1. a tech demo means its IN GAME and if it was a game, that would be its graphics. |
You are completely wrong. As others have mentioned already. Every object in this video is on a pre determined path. There is no physics engine. Yes it's built using real world Poly's and textures and so on. But the processor is not running the following.....AI, Physics, Remap(essentually cause and effect) Player input. Change in sound effects(player caused) Immediate change in Poly count( say spinning the camera 360 degrees like a player would.) The list goes on. IT's a Pre determined Video nothing more.

How can you be so confident of that from watching a video? What is your basis?
What if someone *was* flying the matrix squid thing, in real time, in game, and that session was recorded? Are you saying that the mere act of recording someones in game session renders it 'pre rendered'? If I drive a car in Forza2, and some records it with a video camera and posts it on youtube, Forza2 is now no longer doing any physics? Huh?
By your standard the only way to do a demo would be to do it live - once some records it doesn't count!?!
