HL2 vs. Doom 3 vs...Torc?
I don't know who these guys are, but it looks like they're fast becoming rivals to Valve and id.
http://www.fileshack.com/file.x?fid=4474 Download it and watch. I think it looks promising, although many elements look "inspired" by Valve or id. You'll see what I mean. some stuff they mention: Real time per-pixel lighting Bump Maps Self-shadowing "All surfaces recieve shadow" Real Time per-pixel shadowing Ragdoll physics What do you think?

now that demo does look impressive. although yeah i can see where it's 'inspired' by HL2 and Doom III. but so much the better. as a game player i'm not too worried if i get a meld of different games. as far as i can tell, HL2 + Doom III = Torc. looking promising.

Cool techdemo video. Looks a little too.. dirty, at this point, to be any fun. Anyhow, is there any game planned behind that engine? Or what?

Looks like it has potential, but at this point it doesn't seem to offer much more than what is shown in the video.

Technology dont mean crap today. Realtime lighting, realtime physics, bumpmapping and normalmapping, PS1.1, PS1.3, PS1.4, PS2.0, PSNvidiaOptimized(TM), VS of all versions, ragdolls, realtime shadows, *sigh*... Everyone and his grandma can make a game with this.
Style. That's all it need. The game with STYLE (big letters) is ALWAYS the winner. Savage is one of the best games I've ever played, and its engine lack just about EVERYTHING on the technology list. But its very cool

I think this is made on the 9th power engine.
It was made by PT by a 12 ppl team. They licensed it to a few teams as an alternative. It was way cheaper than most engines and by what I seen, it looked great. Not sure though. I think Eidos hired them or something. Whos Torc Interactive anyway?

welcome to bump mapping hell....
I cannot stand this technique...you know, the old "stick a bump/normal map on every single surface/weapon/item/character in the game" route

yeah the shadows aren't bad, and the bump mapping remark I made wasn't really the fault of the engine or anything, it's just really bad from an artistic perspective.

Reminds me of Doom 3, how theres bump map on every single surface. But it doesnt look plastic which is interesting
