Best looking G400 Game

[Top_Cat]

Hello

What is the best looking G400 Game?
either something that shows how great dual monitor can be or something that shows how nice Bump Mapping is ingame!

Thanks

Hello Top_Cat,

You can try the 3DMARK 2000 demo and especially the enviromental BM part. It looks a lot better than the other BM tests. Or Slave Zero, Expandable, and soon Batlecruiser 3020AD.

battlezone 2 gets my vote!

[nosuchluck]

if you wanna show of the dh, go for microsoft baseball, flight sim 2k, or renegade racers, all are awesome in dual head mode.

cheers

Whats great about Battlezone II? Im not flaming anyone here, but all the enivronments seemed blocky and squarish in the screenshots I saw at Gamespot. I mean... QUAKE squarish... Those models have fewer polygons than a box has sides! (okay, exaguration)

But really, it must be a pretty smooth game!

So like... where does it make up for low poly counts?

[FaRaN]

Don't base all your conclusions on screenshots. You haven't seen the weather effects, explosions, heard the soundeffects, played the game, and the Bumpmapping!! Great bumpmapping!
Euhm, and about the polygoncount? PLay the demo (non EMBM only ) then think about it again.

Battlezone2 gets my vote too, next is Drakan.

My vote is for Drakan(although I haven't tried bz2)It looks great@1024x768, runs smooth as silk, and has the best(i've seen)bumpmapping effect on the dragon's body.Too bad the game ending sucks so bad.

I'll go with Drakan as well.
EMBM water and dragon scales.
Awesome colors.
Great stencil buffered shadows.
Real-time lighting effect.

Most of the monsters models are very blocky, but it's made up for in great skinning and effects (I love slicing an ogre's face or arm off, and watching him spurt blood onto the walls )

Waitaminit. _Was_ there an ending? This had to be the most blatant 'Pretty please buy our sequel' ending to an otherwise beautiful game.

Also, the winged blondes didn't have enough polygons (though the shape and proportions were just right <g>)

To me, it wasn't the obvious "buy the sequel" part of the ending that bothered me - it was the pathetic four-dragon heads stupidity that *really* sucked. It took me all of 5 minutes to dispatch them, and I didn't need a single health potion to do it. Couldn't they have been a bit more imaginative? They were doing so well up until then.

Ya know, even without dualhead and bump mapping, I say Freespace 2. Crank all the gfx options all the way up, run it at 1024x768 and you have a INCREDIBLY good looking game going.
