As far as I can tell, that destroys both half life 2 and doom III

Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous.

Now let's see someone do something with it.

A new Unreal engine, eh?
So, now I guess Duke Nukem Forever will come out in Never + 5 years.
Those shots look snazzy, though. Quite detailed.

Hopefully not by the same people who made Unreal 2.

It does look incredible and something my computer has no hope of running, but a good enough game would be the kick needed to upgrade. Something like an Elder Scrolls / Morrowind type game would be enough.

Holy shit.

The geek giggles in the crowd made me tinkle.

Holy fuck.

I didn't think I'd see a tech that passed, let along met what DOOM III is doing so fast. I thought I'd be six months after Doom III came out that we'd see rival games look as good (that aren't licensing the DIII engine). I can't believe how good that looked.

Holy shit x2

Haven't Epic signed on with Microsoft's XNA initiative? If so, is this the graphical quality we should be expecting in early Xbox 2 titles? If so, I'm sold.
