Giving this a crack now...

The only thing there that I noticed that couldnt be done on current DX9 hardware is the smoke... I'm not 100% sure about the instancing, but all the other shader effects can be seen in HL2 already.

Not that impressive unless the instancing is new, which I don't think it is.

I can't get this to run. It keeps looking for DirectX9 (dec). I have windows vista home prem and have installed forcewawre 100.65. What's up?

Runs ok here, have you tried loading the February redistributable from here http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...0C-5E44-4864-93CD-464EF59DA050&displaylang=en as it may contain elements they have included in the demo.

I think it uses DX9 to play back the intro movie. So you need both DX9 and DX10 to run it.

It was pretty poor to be honest

Cheers guys, got it working. Had to install Directx9. I thought vista automatically runs directx 10 and 9, oh well.
