Can't wait to see what Magnus Högdahl (the main programmer behind the mighty Chronicles of Riddick) can achieve on a next generation engine. PlayStation 3 seems will be supported by them as well...

Blimblim · Oct 2, 2004

Yes, Magnus Högdahl (aka Mr H) is a great programmer. I'd put him almost on par with Carmack when it comes to 3D engines. I still remember how he achieved a software Z-Buffer back in the 486 days in the Cristal Dream 2 demo, great stuff.

Vogue, Mr H and Lizardking were kings back in the day. Now how about that Fasttracker 3.0

It'll be interesting to see what they can do with Xbox 2 and PlayStation 3. It's probably good that they're jumping on-board now so that they can have finished projects by the end of 2006 (if not before then).

It is a next gen system that is all.

Uh, try reading the article: "Confirmation that Starbreeze are beginning work on the next-generation of consoles came today, with the announcement that the Swedish based developer is posting positions for two engine programmers to transfer their Starbreeze engine over to Xbox2 and PlayStation3."

My bad. At this rate Nintendo Revolution will not get any 3rd party games again.

I'm not sure Nintendo really cares. And the rate at which third parties are disolving/being swallowed up, there's gonna be a time when there's only a couple publishers per platform for all systems

Mr. H? Triton? Man, screw that guy! Crystal Dream 2 ran like shit on my 486!

That's what you get by using a trident video card !

Funky Papa · Oct 2, 2004

Or maybe he was scammed with a cyrix micro

Shompola · Oct 2, 2004

yah considering it ran good on my friends 386 with Tseng graphics cardcard.

Tseng ET4000 was the king these days. I remember all these weird ModeX resolution these guys used that would or would not work. I also remember how one demo (by tran/renaissance) used such a weird mode it instantly killed my monitor.

jetjevons · Oct 2, 2004

You guys are gonna freak seriously out when you see what Sbz is doing on next-gen. That is all.

Chrono · Oct 2, 2004

If developers are moving projects to nex-gen, then shouldn't we have an idea of the specs for next-gen consoles? Im sure those developers know and if they do then some leaks must happen.

There will be no enclave 2, ever. At least not from Starbreeze.

I ran Crystal Dreams II on a trident card and it was fine!

iirc, Starbreeze was able to re-obtain the rights to enclave.

not 100% sure but that's what i remember

fennec fox · Oct 3, 2004

All I know is I owned a 486dx/33 and:

- Crystal Dream ran lovely, of course
- Second Reality ran perfectly
- Every other demo up to 1994 ran just fine
- Crystal Dream II ran like crap and came with a snippy text file where Triton talked about how they only make demos for the latest computers.

Funk dat!

I guess Mr. H has reconciled his ways, though, because Riddick is fab!

ZombieSupaStar · Oct 3, 2004

anylinks to these demos or an archive site?

I swear we should start a pc era timeline chronicling the engines/demos/mods and coding breakthrus of the last 20 years

snapty00 · Oct 3, 2004

My 486 25 MHz machine didn't really have a video card. It had 512 KB of video RAM, which allowed 256 colors on-screen at 640x480, but I couldn't even really use that because I lost the proper video driver to my card, so I was stuck with 16 colors at 640x480 or 800x600. At least in Windows. In DOS programs, I could often use the "full potential" of my integrated video.

that's pretty much a no brainer. I wouldn't even expect the 1 or 2 exclusives such as RE next gen either, unless the Capcom execs haven't kicked their crack habit yet.
