Hmm,

I have a 486 DX2 66, 32 megs of Ram and an ATI Mach 32 with 2 
megs of VRAM. I thought the demo looked ok but I think if feels 
completely different that Doom or Hexen. I thought it looked a 
little blurry. I think that it could be a good foundation for 
future games but it doesn't seem to be a configurable as Quake 
will be when it comes out. I wish Quake would allow you to 
create your own character and with rules like D&D for strength, 
etc. I don't see what the big deal is about not worshiping 
ITS.I thought the graphics were ok. But, maybe my standard is 
just a little higher. We'll just have to see how the game 
plays. That will be the real deciding factor.
