Deus Ex: Invisible War Preview

Published by

Gamespy posted their technically focussed preview of ION Storms upcoming sequel to the Deus Ex 1 shooter/RPG mix. They attended a presentation at ION Storm and while system requirements are not yet available it is already clear that you will need at least a GeForce 3 comparable graphics accelerator due to extensive pixel shader and pixel lighting techniques. Here is a snip. Ion Storm started development with the latest Unreal engine, but systematically ripped out and replaced almost every single component. Perhaps the most impressive of these Ion improvisations is the graphics renderer, which can create visuals that in many ways rival those of the much-heralded DOOM III. The single most stunning feature is the lighting engine, which is 100% real-time, dynamic, and whatever other buzzwords you want to apply.
