Subject: Those M2 screenshots...
Date: Thu, 4 May 1995 06:06:42 GMT
Three words:
Oh my god...
I'm embarrassed to say that I actually got a little light-headed after
examining the screen shots for a bit. Am I a disgusting, pathetic,
techno-weenie, or what?
Suffice to say, the shots are amazing and you must now drop everything
and go look at them. I did and then spent five minutes trying to
convince my fiance to get out of bed and look at them. Failing that, I
tried to get one of the cats to look at them. :)
The cool thing is that I think I "believe" these shots. They look like a
3DO game. A unbelievably fantastic game, but a 3DO game nonetheless.
They don't look like a FMV sequence somebody cobbled together on an SGI.
It looks just "bad" (HA) enough to be believable. Some of the background
buildings aren't composed of that many polygons, etc... It doesn't look
like MegaRace or the opening FMV of Crash and Burn. (I think)
Simply bloody amazing... (Did I mention that?)
Is it me, or does that "car" appear to have diffuse specular highlights?
Can Gourad shading do that?
That glow around the headlight, is it an artifact of the scanning
process, or is it "really there"?
Oh, here's the web address in case you missed it:
http://www.phoenix.net/~skyojedi/guru.html
The entire "big" press release is also on that page.
Oh boy.
