A New Video Highlighting Unigine's OilRush Game

Posted by Michael Larabel on December 30, 2010

Two weeks back we published an exclusive preview of Unigine's OilRush as we happen to have access to the internal builds of this upcoming multi-platform, real-time strategy game. Besides that preview article where plenty of screenshots can be found, we also recorded a quick video of this oil-themed game. Now though Unigine Corp has put out a much longer (12 minutes) video that goes over this visually-intense game that will premiere with a native Linux client.

As we have already talked about OilRush a fair amount, see our posts about it if you aren't already familiar with Unigine's inaugural game. Embedded below is the twelve minute video going over the OilRush game-play using the latest pre-release.


As we shared already, Unigine Corp will allow the community to beta test the game for those who pre-order the title. Details will be announced early next year for those who want to pre-order and gain beta access. The official release of OilRush should come in March. As long as your computer hardware and graphics hardware can handle this demanding OpenGL-based engine, this is a Linux game worth checking out.
