Phoronix: An Exclusive Preview Of Unigine's OilRush Game

At the beginning of September there was the announcement from Unigine Corp that they were going to be releasing their first in-house game known as OilRush. The Unigine Engine has been in development for more than five years and has powered some very impressive technology demos / benchmarks, but has not really been utilized in many games yet. There's some games coming atop this engine (including those that won their game development competition), but OilRush is really the first game to set the stage for Unigine on PC, Linux, and PlayStation 3 platforms. OilRush is being released in March of 2011, but we have secured an internal development build of this strategy game to offer you the very first and exclusive preview with a number of screenshots.

Beautiful but unplayable on your config " a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 and Intel Core i7 970"
15FPs only...
Do You can change setting ?

@mum1989 It was at maximum settings.

The entire map being based on a reflective/refractive water base would alone steal many fps away

If it gets released, I wonder what kind of DRM protection it'll have. I suppose no one wants per 90 days reactivation or activation based on hardware configuration.

And call me pessimistic but screenshots are rather unimpressive. Everything looks plastic, and there are no little details to be spotted.

I don't know what was the problem with Michael's test system, but I have 25-30 FPS on my old GeForce 9600 GT / Core 2 Duo 2.6 GHz in real battles with hundreds of units fighting. Linux, proprietary NVIDIA driver.

You could read the article before commenting and see that no DRM will be used..
