It is a very nice map and it certainly shows what the engine can do, however a fair test would be to load that same map into the Doom 3 engine to compare speeds. I don't think it is fair to say that the D3 engine will be outdated when this comes out because none of use have seen how fast this is on a regular computer. My first impression was that it must be a very high poly count however now I am more inclined to think that they have made very good use of bump maps to give the illusion of a sky high poly count. Still, I can't wait to see what you can throw at the engine and get a good frame rate :)

well, that's what they say.

As far as for the doom demos I've tried, they look impressive but there are other games out there that already look that good. I think what they mean is that they're taking too long to release it, so when it comes out technology will be in a much more advanced state and D3 won't impress as much as it was supposed to.

well, that's what they say
