Dreadnought Demos Released

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the shiny-bits-of-distraction dept.

John Callaham writes to tell us that Gamecloud is heralding the latest release from Torc Interactive and AMD. The latest demos for the upcoming FPS, Dreadnought, have been released. The first is strictly a gameplay movie while the other gives a comparison between the game running on a 64 bit processor (which it was ultimately designed for) and a 32 bit processor.

    If it weren't for video games then what other reason would we have to continue to build faster computers?

    FTA ... You play a Special Forces operative sent to investigate, and if necessary, destroy the research results and scuttle the Kirov.

    So blowing away bots at will isn't the aim of this game ... I find that a bit hard to believe.

    This extract makes it sound like Sherlock Holmes :)

    Yeah.....

    I remember when I was like 11, I thought Maxis could see everything I was doing in SimAnt, since it had a Name/Company registration thing in the game, and that my games were being transmitted to Maxis for some kind of high-score database. My computer had no modem or anything at all in my computer, the only thing plugging it into the wall being the power cable.
