- the demo was originally coded up for the R520 'Fudo' GPU for PCs
- was ported over quickly to the Xbox 360's Xenos GPU
- seems to be running at 30 frames per second with some dips

Doesn't look bad. Actually, I find it much better than the CGI version that was compared to the last demo of Ruby.

I learned to be very cautious with X2 graphical performance. only Gears of War looked good enough. and even that had major problems with fram rates, hiccups and all. other footage looked terrible. PD0 pre-show will for ever be marked as the king of The Hall of Shame for a looon, looong time. and why didn't MS show good demos at E3?

I am not comfortable with all this. X2 is only 6 months from launch, we better see something good soon or gamers will begin to question the new system.

I wonder the samething some times. Microsoft said the the games shown were running on 30% of the 360's power. That doesn't sound right at all since the PS2 had been running at around 50% at launch with games looking slightly better than PS1. Either Microsoft is blowing a lot of smoke or the 360 is extremely powerful.

:?: Case to point: GT3 was using roughly 50% of PS2's total system power.
