a 3D game that is only 97kb!

Thing is, you can't do everything procedurally. You can do cool stuff that way, but not everything, and with the amount of textures in a modern game... you would need long load times, or large disk caches. Iirc, the farb-rausch demos used to take ~30-60 seconds of pre-computation before loading on contemporary hardware.

Very impressive. I'm hoping to see more of this procedural stuff in commercial games so we don't keep having to get bigger harddrives ;)

yeah, the requirements are getting insane by the game, not only for hard-drive space but memory too.. has anyone seen the minimum requirement for the PC version of Assassin's Creed? it's listed as requiring 3GB of RAM! :o
f0dder:
lanux: games are developed with console specs in mind, nowadays... and those specs aren't always adjusted to PC hardware before published.
A modern games has pretty insane texture and model requirements, which (on PCs) require a lot of GPU memory, but on consoles are generally shared memory.

I had installed the warez version of it(asassin's creed that crashes in jerusalem) with a 2gb RAM and HD2600 XT 512mb DDR3 and it has no lag. DX9 and DX10 version has no graphical difference accept that it has a faster loading time in DX10 :Thmbsup:
Its a good game. but whenever someone in the world make a bootable PC OS Game Console, that would probably insane :)
f0dder:
"Bootable game OS" for PCs wouldn't make sense, really... console's strength lies in uniform hardware and very capable CPU/GPUs.
