[Piru]

fr-041: debris

* P4 2GHz or athlon 2000+
* 512MB ram
* ps2.0 capable gfxcard with 128MB ram
* directx 9.0c

This demo WILL win Breakpoint 2007 PC demo compo. No question about it.








Oh and the demo size? 177KB (!!!)

When video is available it will be linked to the page (next to [download] link).

That C64 Desert Dream remake was pretty amazing, true, but it still is that: a remake.

It'll probably win the C64 democompo, however :-)

[Piru]

what about andromeda's demo ?

I'd bet 2nd place.

But we'll see soon enough.

[Piru]

It won, Noumenon by Andromeda was 2nd.

Well that wasn't very hard to predict. :-)

I ran it "okay" on AMD Athlon 2400+, 512MB ram and Radeon 9600.

Choose 800x600, Texture quality: Normal, No shadows.

Well, it doesn't look as good as it could with high end system, but it does run somewhat faster.

@Cymric

I personally know prettier examples.

Such as?

@Kaminari

As a demo, it totally fails to provide any sense of awe.

Breakpoint disagrees. The crowd went totally nuts.

I haven't heard such reaction to PC demo in years.

@countzero

Piru, are you there or are you watching online ?

Watching online, but the yells and applauds were clearly audible even thru the stream.

Though, nothing compares to seeing such thing live on big screen... Say for example I saw TBL's Starstruck live, and the experience was quite awesome.

@Cymric

Well, the debris demo is set in a urban city. It works for me.

the average quality of PC demos over the past few years was lousy (likely).

Well, that bit is true. :-) Nothing spectacular has come out on PC front in years.

This doesn't make Debris any less amazing, though.
