"Made with DirectX10, because, admit it, most of you watch only video captures of demos..."
I hate video captured demos. Demos should be realtime, right? I want to thumb this prod down for that sole reason, but I'm not that childish so I go for piggy instead. I really want to see this demo in realtime but I don't want to buy a new OS for it...

I really like the mood and the look of the opening scene! That's really cool.
from there it's goes to "meh" in the scene with the tower, and then to "eeew" when the credits appeared.
overall verdict: piggy

I watch vids if i have too, doesn't bother me. But...erm, unless i'm missing something obvious i see no reason for that to be DX10 :/ Something quite nice about the demo(tune was nice and relaxing) though, but still it can only be a piggy.

Frost: come on, flaming DX10 is so 2007 :p

just accept vista/DX10 as a new platform : would you flame someone because he coded for a xbox or a c64 you wouldn't own ?

(btw i'm not a vista zealot at all, i don't plan to switch this year)

great 'moody' demo, in contrast with 'other' nvscene demos based on wow factor :)

didnt much like the visuals or the music ( and i thought my vocal samples were bad :D ), seems quite unfinished design wise, however it does have an ambient quality to it that could've been explored and indeed resulted in a quite cool experience.

Wow, and you people thought Ungol had an arrogant statement.

Actually, the video didnt run here, it complains about some invalid sample description.. So yeah, so much for that then :D

Rather dull and boring in most parts.
Not a reason to install vista.

Can't watch the demo, can't watch the video. Does DX10 always bring so many benefits?
added on the 2008-08-27 10:50:58 by xTr1m xTr1m
Please, stop the comments about DX10. I get it. Try MPlayer with native H264 support, if you still want to watch it.

Imbusy: you are really improving per demo.. keep up the good work!

As if it was some paid work to make demos. I wanted to try this new API, I liked it and made a demo. Like Zest said "flaming DX10 is so 2007".
added on the 2008-08-27 10:58:52 by imbusy imbusy
Nobody's flaming DX10 per se. It's just that with the whole "Vista only" thing projected against the shitty market share of Vista, it's a bit childish to go "so 2007" on people's asses.

Shifter: may i remind you of a basic clue : a demo is made primarily for a platform and/or a compo machine, not *yours* : if it runs on yours too, hurray for extra bonus!
added on the 2008-08-27 11:16:53 by Zest Zest
I have seen Vista. I will not use Vista.

I have nothing against demos-as-videos since it's becoming less and less meaningful for a demo to be realtime, unless there's something really that-cannot-be-done-realtime stuff. Most demos don't have it, and neither has this.

A piggy for the content.

Nothing to justify the use of dx10 (well, except perhaps the coders' preference, which I can understand), and I had to download a new player just to watch the video!

Other than that, I really like the demo, so thumb up :)

Zest: If vista/dx10 is a new platform then pouët needs a new category. :)

I'll watch the demo on my girlfriends Vista machine and I'll thumb this demo after that.
added on the 2008-08-27 11:50:32 by Frost Frost
I agree with V3nomsoup. Terrible soundtrack!

Visuals were ok, but like Psonice said, nothing to justify DX10 here.

Overall, quite forgettable.

Zest: you need not explain some bogus rule about hardware platforms -for some crazy reason, I happen to know about such things :)

May I remind you of a basic clue that is actually relevant to the discussion: setting a higher-than-common spec for your audience which is completely unjustifiable for what is done, can -and will- get you some remarks on the matter. Being a cock about it won't help you there.

By far the best Brainstorm demo. I just love the slow progress and mood in this demo. The different parts are not shown unnecessary long.
Thumbs up.

video was good. i like the music minus the lyric
rulez added on the 2008-08-28 00:46:37 by artanis artanis
I can see the concept in this, at some points I had the impression that a transition would follow/should have followed, but it wasn´t there, maybe for deadline reasons. Anyway, I liked the music, and as I tend to be a couchpotatoe myself (10 minutes a day), I sofathumb this up.

DX10? Do I need vista? I downloaded d3dx10.dll but it says it's a corrupt file or something :P

hehe a vista/dx10 new platform category would be quite helpful, despite its non orthodoxy :p

Some great visuals and pleasing colors. Nice effects too. Minimalistic flat landscape that also reminds me oldschool demos.

so, dx10 and highend gpu for just flatshaded and dull scenes.. music didnt kinda lift up the excitement either so piggy it is.

people should stop bashing dx10 only. i mean it's tough enough whipping up something and we'll be all transitioning that way slowly anyway. and that aside, doing a proper dx9 impl includes a lot of trivial crap code thats just not worth the time if you dont have it clobbering up some of your hd space already.

now the demo: nice!

Your effects in this one are pretty good, imbusy, but you need to work with a visual designer on your art.

Effing AWESOME.
The music is nice, but a large part of the demo is plain ugly (the star background even looks like 1992...). And claiming "Made with DirectX10, because, admit it, most of you watch only video captures of demos..." would be sufficient for a second thumb.

I loved the music, loved the beginning, hated the end.

I, too, think the statement "Made with DirectX10, because, admit it, most of you watch only video captures of demos..." is a bit too rude and arrogant, but well...

In any case, piggy is it.
