The Download Munkey : Tracking the Treasure Down …

The CellFactor: Revolution trailer is one of the biggest game trailers I have downloaded although it’s still a far cry from the Metal Gear Solid 4 E3 2006 video which weighs in at a hefty 376 MB.

This high-res (1280×720) gameplay video is mainly a showcase for the crazy physics engine in the game jointly developed by Immersion Games, Artificial Studios and Timeline Interactive. More realistic physics engine = Bigger explosions with extra debris and snazzier graphics effects

The graphics are excellent but nothing extraordinary and the trailer gives me the feeling that the whole game is simply a tech demo for the Reality Engine ;p

I believe that the 3 mins of gameplay footage was probably captured from a high end PC with a AGEIA PhysX Physics Accelerator card as any CPU would probably slow to a crawl processing some of the flying debris and other physics effects shown in the trailer.

Here’s a quick rundown on the three character profiles available in-game:

Guardian – very strong and fast and able to dual wield weapons. Doesn’t seem to use any psionic powers in the trailer.

Black Ops – human supersoldier who can hold a weapon in one hand and can use psionic powers from the other.

Bishop – a genetically-enhanced warrior armed only with telekinetic and psionic powers from her bare hands. Can fly.

Download the 263 MB trailer at the official CellFactor : Revolution site. You’ll need a video player that supports XviD playback though.

The entire CellFactor : Revolution game can also be downloaded for free (860 MB) although a AGEIA PhysX card is required for games in three of the more PPU-intensive arenas. Non PhysX owners get to play in the other two arenas More about CellFactor : Revolution in this post here.
