It looks really great. Now we can see more enviorments than ice, and that smoke from the flames on the surface of the waters is really good.

So any updated news on this.

I know it is expected in Q4 so more than likely nearer Xmas than now but it must getting polished for release.

Some actual game footage would be <3, ie a vid of a dev vs dev maybe even shoutcasted by some other dev explaining whats going on

That would be Did Not Finish right But wait... there is actually activity... until I found the website, I thought it was dead.

Oh soooo many years

Well, for 3D Realms, it does mean Did Not Finish- as officially, they didn't finish the game, another studio directly affiliated with the publisher is doing that as part of a sealed settlement deal with 3DRealms. They didn't lose Duke fully, but I think they lost the deal with DNF at least partly.

...much like 3DRealms did with DNF.

Hopefully this will show the Primal Carnage team how much revenue the linux community can net.

In all honesty, I think they already know. That was motivated by their publisher and they're just coming up with "reasons" they changed engines much like 3DRealms did with DNF.

Unigine for the record uses OpenAL

Which, if you think about it, adds another variable, on top of all the others I mentioned. Just because it uses OpenAL doesn't negate what I said there.

definitely, at that price, I think the support will be there.

Absolutely! At that price, even people who aren't into RTS will likely give it a shot. I hope that Unigine continue to produce Linux-native games.
