Hi

ItÃ¢Â€Â™s finally happened, the new IGI 2 Single Player Demo has now been released :D and is available from these sites:

http://www.codemasters.com/redirect/redirect.php?url=/igi2/english/front.htm

This new IGI 2: Covert Strike sampler is set in a 1950s Soviet weather station, high in the Carpathian Mountains and has David Jones, our IGI (Institute for Geotactical Intelligence) agent, on a reconnaissance mission tracking down a nano-technology chip. The new demo also shows off new weapons and equipment aswell as the latest AI improvements.

Once again, here is a demo of a game with poor graphics. All the walls, floors and objects from close up look flat and dull; there is no use of environmental bump mapping, same goes for objects that should have curves instead are pointy. There is no improvement in the AI, it is still stupid and heavily scripted. No matter how many times one reloads a particular scene the AI is always at the same spot or walking the same pattern and they donÃ¢Â€Â™t notice your presence even though you are only a few feet away.

So many of us have powerful systems with GF3/4, ATI Radeon 9500/9700 video cards and this is what we get. Graphics and AIÃ¢Â€Â™s that are basically no better than they were three years ago. When will developers give us some graphics to marvel at and an intelligent AI challenge other than throwing tons of enemies at you?

On my Radeon 9700 I'm getting terrible texture jittering on the terrain, the rest of the game seems fine though. I usually hit the alarms myself cause all the sneaking around doesn't jive with me.

The only thing I'm pissed about is that my Stereo 3D glasses don't work with the game at all. Most games show some 3D effect, although it might be a little glitchy in extreme cases with FPSes, but IGI 2 just gives a crapped-out distorted screen.
Now it isn't really real! Don't make me play it 2D style!
