Auto Assault developer NetDevil has released Unreal Engine 3-powered first-person shooter Warmonger, Operation: Downtown Destruction for FREE.
"Warmonger", states the studios, "pushes the limits of destruction technology where game environments can be shaped and manipulated by players at will.
"Taking full advantage of AGEIA's PhysX card combined with Epic Games' Unreal Engine 3 (UE3), the powerful game mechanics combine high performance action and stunning fluid and cloth effects that reflect the cutting edge of gaming visuals and physics today."
Quite what you get for your download we'll discover when the file finishes filtering down our pipe. Let us know what you think of the game in the comments below.
Destructible environments are usually good for game dynamics because you can open up paths that shouldn't be there, meaning you can sneak around the enemy or blast your way through to an objective.
And if nothing else, it could serve as a benchmark to see how well UE3 works on your hardware
it wont work on my computer (its coughing just trying to run the internet after I did something wrong the other week) but I will download anyway just to be sure, because I am a sucker for free stuff.
I've been following it for quite sometime, and the destructible environments do seem quite welll implemented. This is not Red Faction 3. I've downloaded it last night, but haven't got round to playing it yet...
Well that's 5 minutes of my life I won't get back, not to mention 400 odd Meg of bandwith. Not worth bothering with, it may be Unreal 3 engined but it's not Unreal gameplay.
