That's what the R&D guys think. Why do you think Unreal (which will
compete with Prey, ) is being touted for its MMX capability? You can
run in 24-bit colour, CD-quality sound, and with smoothing on, all at the
same or faster frame rate as the non-accelerated version.
The POD demo should now be online - give that a whirl on an MMX rig. It's
supposed to be awesome. Also try the demos of MDK and Rebel Moon Rising,
Sega Rally Championship, and G-Nome.
Also, a couple of perennial questions for you...
1) I understand the Shadow Warrior crew is in "crunch mode," as in they're
finishing the game off. Can we expect to see Shadow Warrior in the next week
or two?
2) Will you guys do a "Death Rally 3D" style of game? It would be tremendous
fun to power slide your Deliverator, spray people with chaingun fire, and
THEN jump on top of some other car to knock them permanently out of the race.
I would download this game the second it was available.
