Good point but, there has been the Incite Halo 2 movie. And the development team were... how can I say... showing off, all the clever nuances like player momentum and water effects.

You're right, too much would as you say, be too much.

I'll give you that one.

I'm sorry but I feel I have to disagree with that, as I didn't see ANY promotional stuff about Unreal before I bought it and frankly I don't find it in the least bit interesting. Yes the graphics are awesome on a G4 but I don't thing they got the physics quite right, and I find it a very linear game.
