Impressive.
Not really, we can thank the horrid culture of console buyers for the fact that a new game can now be run on non dedicated hardware at full detail.
Just think how much better the game would have looked if they actually made it for today's hardware instead of hardware designed way back in 2003-4 (Xbox was released in 2005 so I presume the internals were in development for at least 18 months prior).
Today we are a step closer to turning our pc's into consoles
This makes much more sense now that I've seen the video with sound on

where does its onboard graphics stack up against the dedicated cards? i know it wont be at the top end but some sort of perspective would be good
Swear I heard somewhere that the next Xbox has the equivilent of a 6850 and an i3, hardly ground breaking.
. However when you look at how consoles have evolved they taken a lot more from PCs than PCs have from consoles. Internet browsers, media playback, always connected to friends, online catchup via Iplayer, 4oD, Netflix etc. The PC isn't going to lose features until the point when all you get is a blank screen until you insert a disc whereby it loads up what is on the disc like a PS1 did all those year ago, the consoles are going to keep adding features that make it into a Sony/Microsoft branded PC .
