I remember the UT2K4 demo running pretty well on my G3 iBook. Better than it should have, anyway. The only problem was aiming with the touchpad.

Bumping Unreal Tournament 2003 up to max settings was a good un.

An awful lot of people still use ‘em. 24% of all Steam users, for instance – http://www.steampowered.com/status/survey.html

Surely requiring SM 3.0 isn’t that unreasonable these days, unless we assume people still buy/use manky old ATi cards.

If computing power were a city, then I’ve been that family that lives in the messed up neighborhood, perpetually thinking “Next year, we’re gonna get out of this place, I swear it.”

That said, I’ve always appreciated the Unreal family of games since they’ll generally run smoothly on damn near anything you can put some electrons through. I appreciate that some developers still think about me and return the favor with purchases, whereas I don’t care at all about CRYSIS simply because I know that I’ll only be able to run it with the new computer I buy in 2011 or so.

Assuming that the USD can still be used to buy things in 2011, anyway.

As has been observed, our sole experience of the U3 engine thus far has been Bioshock, a game which (unreasonably) locked out any gpus not capable of SM 3.0. While clearly a high-speed online shooter couldn’t possibly be that silly, I am genuinely surprised it goes as low as the Radeon 9 series.

As much as this news is indeed Good(TM), I can’t help but be a little…suprised. But not at Epic, more at the people that thought for some reason UT3′s specs might be unreasonably high. I mean, granted – it looks really pretty on just about every preview and PR screenshot I’ve seen, but the Unreal Engine has always been famous for its adaptability and indeed the uncanny knack to not actually be that demanding if it doesn’t want to be.

I mean, anyone remember running UT2004 on 320×240 for a laugh?

With great power comes great responsibility.
