Not sure if people would like to play at that details.. but then again.. people also play warsow

[morfar]

Really interesting. But I need to see some videos of it in action before I consider buying it

[iSuck]

Could be real, Warsow can probably be run on anything It have little to no eye-candy.

The reason it's arguably a mock up is Warsow is running at full texture quality, if it was low, there wouldn't be ANY textures.

Well, on these settings the game gets quite... clear.
Still I'm confident, it hasn't got to be this way on Pandora

lol that pandora handheld is awesome.

if it's running linux and has WiFi you can easily play it over the net. Just chuck out the most of the visual display settings leaving gamma and set everything to 0 (or more if you have power left) and 800x480 resolution. Set the FPS limit to 24, set audio to stereo. and make it fit into what ever media pandora's games are on. MAKE AIM SUPPORT SO YOU CAN ACTUALLY SHOOT or use the touch screen to do so. Coronas, bloom, Realtime World and Dynamic Lighting and shadowing, some shaders, offset mapping, and High dynamic range rendering can be turned off. Remove some map textures and that should do the trick of getting it into 128mb of RAM. You would also have to make nex read from a directory on the hard drive that you can download maps and content off the internet (this thing has 256 megs spare). But the game located on some media would have to read .pk3 s from a different location than where its stored. I honestly do not know what else you might do to minimise the memory usage

P.S. if this thing would run with an unmodified network code PANDORA or Nex would be one of the first games to be played cross platform in terms of computer-handheld(console)

have you seen this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvci1vTXyUo

i wonder if they can do this with nexuiz that would be awesome

[DeVsh]

awesome but you have to rewrite the game, IPods work a bit.. differently

[DeVsh]

unless you had the ipod running linux IPod which most ipod users dont have

anyway this might help to improve the RAM usage http://alientrap.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1628
also a limit to the number of bots will improove it greatly
