New Project Offset tech video makes an appearance

TVGB: "Last time the elusive Project Offset made a splash on our radar was in December when a rep from Intel - who acquired Offset in early 2008 - said to expect news of the impressive fantasy title this year. The first of those updates has now arrived, in the form of another video."

That looks really cool. Hope it is coming to the Ps3.

[jesuisankit]

yaa totally awesome.. all the SSS on the Giant really shows off.. not many games so far have used that.. Crysis maybe mordern warfare 2. but this one really shows it off.

[LumpsRGood]

Tech video or not, totally digging it.

xbox360 exclusive.

[we won]

Unless MSFT was stupid enough not to fight for it after the Intel take over of the studio. There was talk of not dealing consoles. I'd be surprised if there was a PS3 version since the game was in development for PC for so long. I know they hired 360 programmers years ago before Intel took over.

Xbox 360: It doesn't do 1080p.

Infact I'm not really sure the Xbox 360 does HD at all.

Project Multiple accounts starring Bungie, MGR, GreenRing Oflife,etc.

I was initially really amazed by the concept when it was shown years ago. Now I'm assuming this is going to end up vaporware since it's been ages since we've heard anything and all we get is junk like this.

Also last I heard is it was coming to consoles as well...but yeah that was ages ago too.

This is no doubt the crysis killer.

[MajesticBeast]

Wasnt this suppose to be coming out in 2010 when i last heard from it.

[led1090]

The company was bought by intel to showcase their larrabee processor. You ppl will be really lucky to get anything other than a PC release

[Xi]

they canceled the project.

[Rybnik]

Larabee is not cancelled, it has been further delayed due to disappointing performance. Since Intel are allowing the Offset team to release media however, this may be an indication that they will announce plans soon, maybe at GDC? that is right around the corner, right?

[wohoo]

Yup yup, GDC's next month.

[Rybnik]

This is almost guaranteed to be larabee exclusive..let alone PC exclusive.
Current console versions were cancelled when Intel bought the game. Maybe next gen machines will get it though. It was originally supposed to come out a long time ago, as obvious though unfortunately, the tech didn't yet exist on the market.

First shown in 2004-5 the game engine looked super advanced...now, not so much. Although the polycount, post process filters, and shaders still impress, I really don't think this game will have the "WOW" impact it once may have, considering at this rate (and the delays and setbacks with the Larabee processor as well) this is going, P.O. likely won't release 'til 2011 (or later).

There are a lot of games that look similar that will be available much sooner. Still, I wish Sam McGrath and his team well. They had a very ambitious idea that just unfortunately may have been too far ahead of its time.

[arakouftaian]

To bad is not going to come out
not soon maybe for the xbox720

but gow3 already looks better

[Rybnik]

Everything ever shown of this game runs real-time with lots of post process effects including full motion blur, soft self shadows, soft shadowcasting and the highest levels of AA/AF for any and all particles rendered at any given time, There is no such thing as LO-REZ in this engine and as a result, it will be a massive memory sucker (most likely requiring memory upgrades from what is normal now. This will be a BIG change in quality from what we see today on consoles (Probably quite a change up for PC level stuff too).

GOWIII looks SIMILAR to what we have seen from Offset in terms of polish, but lets not not get ahead too far..This is a next generation of PC only game. The overall polish should, I would bet far exceed GOWIII, Halo Reach, KZ3, anything we will see on current consoles this generation. Hell, it will probably look a fair bit better than Crysis does completely modded out. Current consoles would not handle this engine...Current PCs can't handle the engine, lol!

[TengkuAmir10]

Looks cool. Good for 360 users.

[Rybnik]

What part of Intel exclusive (Larabee) did you miss?
This is coming for NEITHER 360 nor PS3.

[RELAX]

first i here its comming to ps3 and 360 ,and after only to pc and 360
the game is looking amazing.

[RagTagBnd445]

This would most likely only come for the PC, as the console would not be able to handle it.
