In Response To: Re: limitations? (Mobial)

The well-known girl and robot demo was originally pre-rendered, making asusmptions about the final hardware, and wasn't supposed to be runnable on any current prototype X-Box hardware. However, since that time they've found (as far as I know, Matt correct me on this if I'm wrong), that it actually DOES run in real-time on the current development hardware, which is, as far as I know, still at least a full generation behind the final X-Box spec in terms of video capabilities.

In addition, all the other demos (the butterflies over the pool, ping pong balls and mouse traps, etc.) were already running in real time on the actual development hardware. Again, the final hardware will be much more powerful.
