The reason most prob why we get such a bad perf is because the battle rendered prob is pushing a sh**load more polygons and shader intensive etc etc. Doom 3 is runnable because it is a 4 year old engine if u think about it. This is a brand new engine and it is designed to be a lot harder on your system to just I think give an idea to the end user what to expect. I disagree though with you with respect to the Battle scene hah I loved it!!! Niiiiice! I mean the movements were very real, there was all that huge space to render and the effects and sparks..machinery in the background. The characters seemed to me to be a lot higher in poly count...and so was the rest of the environment and all those lighting effects. All in all pretty cool. I am thinking of getting a key so I can unlock the remaining tests. I want to see more numbers!!

Well i realllly expected someone to say this as response, and i do realize why this is going slower and is more power starving than doom3, but i just expected it to be better, which im sure it will when better companies such as Id or Valve create their new engines. As for the movement of the charactors, that not REALLY based on the engine(Although i do realize it is related), thats more got to do with the motion capture, which i think games such as Onimusha 3 from Capcom have done a much more realastic motion capture than the test*Personal Opinion*.
But on the other hand the 3rd test if im not mistaking (the one with that fairy going in and out of woods) that looks absolutely AMAZING.
+ I know that it uses that same engine as the war scene, but the engine was put to a way better use in this test .
Guess I'll try that again with a few things different
