Give me some beefy tech demos

  • In my first and previous post in this game dev log entry, I had written that I wanted to do a game which was a collection of simple retro games. Unity released a new major release (2019.3) while I was putting the initial project together, and I…

  • Well, I'm making a game . I'm spending the next few weeks on making a small game to showcase the gamedev log feature on tsumea where any member can create a game entry and other members can post journal posts with art, music or just development…

  • Just a test #2. Still working on the new section.

  • Yes, the site looks very different and I've had to prematurely switch to this new theme that I'm working on for a few reasons, the main one is that changing certain aspects of the site to fit the new theme will affect how the old one looks for…

Ok, I've upgraded to a P4 3ghz machine and I'll be getting a 9700 pro tomorrow (for $135!), so if any of you know some tech demos that will push my machines capabilites a bit and wow me with some awesome visuals, I'd greatly appreciate it. [:)]

btw, I've been checking out Doom3, Battlefield 2 and UT2k4 on the highest settings and they've been pretty cool. [:)]

Hehe.. I can't believe the Assembly party is still going. I used to download those demos all the time on the Amiga over 10 years ago (has it been that long ago!)

Anyways, I spotted this really cool tech demo. It's 20mbs and it's amazing [:)] [url="http://www.daionet.gr.jp/~masa/rthdribl/"]Real-Time High Dynamic Range Image-Based Lighting[/url]. (this demo is 2 years old [:0])
