a second video of The Offset Engine has just appeared on the web

Offset is both a graphics engine and a game -- an 'epic fantasy FPS'


motion blur is used in the post process so everything has motion blur, it's
not just an effect you see here and there.

together with the lighting, the complexity and the smoothness of the
framerate, it adds up to the best realtime 3D visuals I've seen on the PC.

The voice-over states it's in-game footage.

I checked out the project's web site ( www.projectoffset ) but found nothing
about system requirements. I'm surprised this type of story doesn't already
have a publisher. My guess is most fantasy genre game players aren't
necessarily into running-and-gunning (or in this case sticking-and-stabbing)
FPS-esque gameplay.

This looks to me like Legends of Might and Magic, only while the former
tried to bring Counter Strike into the fantasy world, Project Offset is
targeting for Battlefield .

Hmm, Heretic and Hexen were two of the three only shooters I really
enjoyed. If it is "Heretic with new graphics", I *actually* might be
interested in it!
