"You're a funny guy... I can't deny it looks good, but it doesn't beat UT3, ... and I don't quite think it's on par either"

Well , who cares ? It looks AWESOME , and last time I heard , Unreal Tournament 3 had HORRIBLE sales even with it's beautiful graphics , so I would say a game's performance is actually more important than the graphics quality. Same goes for Crysis , it's the most beautiful and technically advanced game out there right now , and also , very low sales. I think it's timme we stop comparing engines to those engines , as it's clear you dont need them to make a good game or money (anyone played serious sam ?). This cube 2 engine looks incredible , and it's free Insane , just downloaded it , goinng to give it a try.

Well I'm thoroughly impressed , I tried out the demo yesterday , and averaged around 15-20 fps on the shader heavy level , and around 20 - 30 in the level where all the enemies attack you. I have a pretty old and low end video card (GeforceFX5200) , So I'm actually very happy with its performance (keep in mind Sphere 2 runs at 2 fps on my pc). I'm definately going to look more into this engine when I have more time.

edit: It's actually 25-30 fps on the single player levels , most of the time staying locked at 30.

@Why_Do_I_Die: That ís impressive, but forgive my curiosity I do wonder what it looked like visually on that hardware.

Sales-wise I've heard Unreal Tournament III is doing reasonably okey now after having a (terribly) rough start. I think people shouldn't be surprised about that though. Crysis had exactly the same rough start, in fact it's still not selling well.

It has everything to do with required system specs if you ask me, not so much the quality of the games.

yeah might have been a bit exaggerated... and i haven't played ut3, to be honest, so treat it as a small promotial lie/teaser

No worries, we can all see that this Sauerbraten II engine looks great and it's true that at least some levels shown on screenshots are extremely well designed and good looking.

Cheers

The quality is great , looks just like the screenshots , here are some screenshots of the Demo running on my pc , FPS is on the bottom right in the pics.Btw , this is the performance I'm getting withought tweaking any settings , just installed and ran , at 1024x768 resolution (it's what I use for all games I play). Tomorrow I'll try messing around with the settings see if I can get a performance boost while still maintaining good visual quality. I also wonder how this game would render with art from something like Unreal Tournament 3 , since another reason those engines look so good is the artists they use are as professional as they come , and the art is always INSANELY good.

cube on PDA! yay!
