    HEXUS.preview::Bet On Soldier - Hands On

    I've been playing Kylotonn and Digital Jester's latest shooter, Bet On Soldier... and between you and me, I'm quietly impressed.

    When you place your crosshair over an enemy, you get a little icon pop up which shows the state of his armour. Black areas are where his armour is totally shot away, so aiming for them is a good idea… except shooting someone in the legs takes a fair few more round to kill them than two or three well aimed shots to the head. And yes, it will take a few shots to the head as you’ll have to shoot away his helmet first before delivering the ‘coup de grace’.

    I've been asking those sort of questions already. Apparently everyone is working away like mad for the release and DJ are confident it'll be done on time.

    The build I've been playing is a few weeks old already, so the game will ahve moved on from there.

    As to the PPU, I don't know... I'll try and find out. I know it's optimized for AMD 64, in conjunction with AMD.. so expect good things!

    So would that be why you weren't getting brilliant FPS on sempron? Some kinda major push to get people across to 64bit?

    No, I think it's most likely because the game is pretty graphically intensive and the build I was playing was likely not optimized... The is game bump maps EVERYTHING for a start, and then theres the physics and draw distance too...

    I'm sending the code off to our hardware gurus for them to look at on a top end system to see how they fare with it.

    Oh, and yes, I have it straight from the horses mouth, the guys are pulling out ALL the stops to have it ready on time and as good as it can be.

    Can you confirm if the game has actually been renamed to

    Bet On Soldier: Bloodsport?

    Also,

    I'll be happy to test it on Athlon 64
