Doom 3 and Splinter Cell:CT have better soft shadows than that. Doom 3's have the least performance hit of them all.


That's just a really bad implementation.

Far as im aware doom 3 doesn't do soft shadows at all just the hard shadow version. That forum that was doing that "doom can do it too" thing has something on soft shadows and its only possible to do it through some kind of hack to set up a screenshot.

This as as close to theyve come to it

Ah, your right. I was thinking self-shadowing for Doom 3.

But SC:CT does have soft shadows and it does kill your frames.

I still dunno why, its like a slight blur and an extra outline to the shadow, pretty pointless looking to me but it cuts right into your framerate =/

You hear that S.T.A.L.K.E.R has been delayed again to............2006?

heh, well they've killed that game off methinks, could've been fantastic if it was released now but next year its technology will have aged alot and it'll look 2D.

Although I do love to be proved wrong when it comes to gameplay. It doesn't bode well for it tho, may be the next Daikatana........as for F.E.A.R, well if it runs well on my system and has a great storyline then hell yes. That little girl and the image effects look fantastic.

I'm bein lazy but are the specs for this game mega high? MP?

Had the settings maxed for graphics, i enabled 4xfsaa in the ati control panel and it seemed to work, some objects still seemed ragged thoiugh, may have had something to do with the soft shadows making it appear that way.

1. it was too short
2. it seemed like any other run and gun game.

I'm sure it will be better when its released, but the demo didn't impress.
