We have all heard "buy the rumor, sell the fact", Question, what the hell is the rumor? I do like the move up

October's shaping up to be THE month software-wise. Another Quake-based game, Heretic 2, will be out with a demo by mid-month. Here's the skinny along with some thoughts on card support (though luck Matrox!): ========================== We have been diligently working here at Raven to finish Heretic II. The entire team has put forth great effort to make an extraordinary game. We are in our last stage of development...bug hunting, game testing, balancing, basically trying to make this game our best yet and as fun as possible. I am happy to announce that we will be releasing a playable demo of the game the week of October 18th. The demo will include the 1st level of the game (Silverspring Docks) and the 11th level (The Canyon), along with 2 deathmatch levels. We hope you enjoy the demo. You'll be able to see first hand what 3rd person action is really all about. Get ready for the full version in November! -------------------------------- Also, Heretic2.Com has a couple of new Heretic II screenshots up.. Finally, John "Slain" Scott updated his .plan with the latest on video card support in Heretic II: 3d card support is going extremely well, we are looking to support as many cards as possible. Unfortunately, the D3D wrapper isn't up to the rigors of Heretic 2. This is by no means a complete or definitive list and is subject to change at any time (blah blah..........) If your card isn't mentioned below, then we don't have one. If you send us a card and a gl driver, I will see what I can do. We are currently beta, so time is rapidly running out. If requested, I will keep this list updated. Definitely supported (altho a few are a little slow) - Voodoo 1 Voodoo 2 Voodoo Rush nVidia 128 nVidia 128ZX nVidia TNT I740 Verite 2200 ATI Rage Pro Permedia 2 Have issues with (namely lack of GL driver) Millenium G200 Definitely not supported - Power VR 1 Verite 1000 ==================================== Chip
