Splinter Cell Chaos theory Demo

Possibly the best Splinter Cell yet. The demo looked and ran very well on my lap top at max details. I like the music Amon Tobin provided too (considering I've been listening to the game's soundtrack for about 2 weeks now.)

:eek: Can't wait!!!!!!!
 
Im downloading this right now. I loved the first splinter cell but didnt play the second one.

The multiplayer beta was a nice change from the more traditional FPS i play. I hope the single player is just as good.
 
sam fisher looks bad ass in this. his face is really detailed, and sometimes he gets a crazed look on his face. :D
 
OH my god this game looks AWESOME. What an overhaul! I can't believe that's pixel shader 1.1 too. Game plays VERY well too.
 
wtf I cant play I have downloaded this twice and each time I get an internal error has occured after installing. Then when I launch the game it exits.


Edit: Very intersting I am running windows xp profesional (athlon 64 3500 1 gig of rev 2 ram, geforce 6800 ultra) and the only way I can get the game to run is to run it in windows 2000 compatability mode. I wonder if anyone else is having the same problems.

Edit: Cool its got shader 3.0
 
i got a couple internal errors at the end of install, but it still worked
 
what settings are you guys running it at and getting for FPS. The shader 3.0 with HDR is awsome but it hogging my FPS. I got to make the choice between HDR and AA/AF.
 
WEEEEE!!!!!!! Playing lots of fuin demos lately...BloodRayne 2, SWAT 4 multi/single, now this...wellI guess that's not "lots" but there are some that I'm interested in playing...this looks awesome!!! I loved Pandora Tomorrow (which I finished not so long ago) and it was awesome!!!

im running it at 1280x960 8xaf 2xAA, and its very smooth, probably never goes under 60. can someone that can do HDR please post a screenie or two?
 
So anyone know what version of shader this game is using on ATI cards. Heard a rumor that it either uses SM3.0 or 1.4 with nothing in between. Can anyone verify this.

Thanks

I thought it used either 1.1 or 3.0
 
ya its either 1.1 or 3.0

3.0 looks much much better then 1.1 IMO.

I will post screen shots if I can one minute.

Now I'm even happier that I have SM 3.0 :)

Ya it looks awsome. I just cant figure out what to take screenshots with so I guess I will have to use FRAPS. (but i can only save BMP)

Edit: NM the images come out at at nearly 4mb's and I dont want to resize them because the look nearly the same after you end up resising them. But 3.0 looks much better then 1.1 after trying them out, its mostly the HDR though.
 
Man , I am afraid to finish it , looks too damn cool. Hate to finish a kickass demo then having to wait months for the game to come out.

Just convert the BMP to JPG using Paint, if nothing else :)

Sorry I havent played that far in the demo so these arent very good examples. It looks a lot better when playing the game then it does from pictures. I personally think that 3.0 looks much better but you can be the judge for yourself. Like I said it looks much better in person.
 
A FPS counter would be nice. One poster did that, and showed he went from 43fps with 1.1, to 18fps with 3.0. That may not be worth the FPS hit, depending on who you ask.

It would also be nice if they stopped being lazy and added 2.0.
 
Cool demo! One question:

*Possible Spoiler*
























Is it possible to save the kidnapped guy? Or is he pretty much DOA?

It didn't run too bad at 1280x1024 on my system with Shader 3.0 and every option ticked or on high. No AA or AF though. I probably had fairly low fps on occasion, but since this game isn't really a twitch shooter or anything I didn't really notice.

Does everyone realize this is the demo? It's not "fully" operational? from what I also gathered I thought PS3 wasn't supposed to be running yet in the game. I didn't think of trying it though. Have to check out on the other box.

I don't recall reading the game having HDR. Is that an actual setting you actually turned on? If you didnt', I think your just running SM3 which is simply removing the banding effect of the lighting

And of course SM3 is going to look better than 1! But when the full game is out and sm2 is open it's going to look the same

Nope, one of the options in the Shader 3.0 settings is HDR.

neet! I wonder if it's openexr or just "regular" HDR. That way when SM2 is enabled it might have it too. Either way I'll have to check it out later tonight.
 
I downloaded it, but haven't played, yet. This will be the first Splinter Cell game I've ever tried. It looks incredible.

What is HDR and how do you enable it?
 
To enable HDR in the Chaos Theory demo you have to enable Shader Model 3.0 in the advanced video settings tab. I think it enables HDR by default, but to be sure you can click on the box next to your Shader Model selection, I think it says something like "Shader configuartion" or something. It's in there.

Sounds simple enough. Thanks for the tip!
 
Plays awesome on a 9800 Pro. I was expecting choppy framerates but I get a solid 50-60 FPS.

No SM 3.0 tho...

b0b
 
Graphics with sm3 are simply :eek: first game that really made my 6800GT chug!

I'm also kinda dissapointed that MP wasn't included for such a large file, but the SP map does a really good job of showing off the new stuff in CT.
