Is it just me or do those look like REAL pictures?!:huh:
Said to already be better than the Unreal 3 engine...

[ViperGTS]

Eh...
Looks okay...

[DaShiznit]

Unreal 3? Huh? But those pics do PWN!

It looks pretty good, but doesn't rival the Unreal 3 Engine. My primary complaint with it is that, like the Doom 3 Engine, it has too much wierd and splashy lighting effects to look real, whereas the U3E looks rough, like the Half Life 2 Engine, and creates realistic-looking spaces and terrains.

take a look at this:

Is that the Source Engine, or the Reality Engine? It looks fairly mediocre, whatever it is.

source, while not as good as the ones above thats still fucking amazing. you can even tell what kinf of comp it is, 9800pro, VIa chipset mobo, audigy 2 ZS sound card

Only you, Rob, only you.

[Setari]

the one at the top doesnt even look like an engine to me. Looks like someone had some fun with 3DSM or Maya.

It also is too soft. The tones are too bright and there's too much of a soft sheen on everything. Show me something that proves better lighting effects than the U3 engine and I'll believe it. But from the U3 engine demo, it'll be hard to beat that out.

[JetRaiden]

cool.

[Rbstr]

Only you, Rob, only you.

and it's probably an Asus mobo judging byt the color of teh mobo and the northbridge cooler

[Derfud]

Not just Rob aztec, I noticed a what most of them were too.

[AztecWarrior]

My first reaction: Wow. Look at that detail!

Rob's reaction: WTF? THAT PC'S FLUX CAPACIATOR ONLY TURNS ON AT 88 MPH!!! NEEDS MOAR JIGGAWATZ

[JetRaiden]

I think whats most impressive is that this engine runs on current hardware.

[MrShooter]

BAH. Just wait 'till they make a physics/graphics engine that can simulate and render each individual atom and sub-atomic particle of a level in real time.

Computeres everywhere will explode. :doh:

It's an asus A8V Deluxe.

Edit - rbstr, theres some corruption at the top of that image...

[jsloan31]

looks like a dell dimension, by the front panel.

:p

(That sniping poster is funny, too.)

yeah, except it says "BEEFY COMPUTERS" on the side.

Beefy computers are dumb, they should have made that RAM run duel channel :p

[Triggar]

Wow, that's leet

[GraniteRok]

just an observation, but notice the cards are backwards...

[Hamma]

Not bad looking.

[Fragmatic]

Everything looks too "plasticky" and shiny, like doom 3, but those environments are very bare.

I don't like the lighting effects either, for instance - This screenie (http://www.artificialstudios.com/screenshot.php?pic=m12.jpg), a candle wouldn't produce that much light.

I much prefer the source engine, It's got a nice look to it. My only gripe with it are the textures, they could be so much better. (although the textures in cs source are shitty to cater for a broad range of computers, think of all the cybercafes which will have it).

[Roswell34]

that light is from a flashlight or something but not the candle because u can see the shadow of the candle
