Thread: Version 2.0 Benchmark Please

I thought there was going to be at least two benchmarks released before v2.0 lands.

Can I have the first one now, please? Pretty please, with cherries and cream on top?!

*Big, staring puppy eyes*

Are benchmarks usually released before Alpha begins?

They're usually released to give a player a chance to see how their rigs will handle the new engine (general use of Benchmarks) so it could come out at any time they have suitable progress made on a game.

They said the game (1.0) will go down when beta goes up though, which seems to be the November date, unless they heavily pushed back Alpha.

At Gamescom Yoshi P said the engine wasn't complete yet. There would be no point in releasing a benchmark for an uncompleted engine!

During the GamerEscape interview with Yoshi he mentioned there will be at least two benchmarks.

The first benchmark is supposed to be a test version to be released before the Alpha testing starts. The second is a "maybe" before release.

Please, please, please! I want to drool over the smooth FPS and amazing detail while running it on my new GTX 680!
