tagerd0g Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 CGW's March 2005 issue cover story talks about CT's new lighting system and rendering engine. Unfortunately, the Feb 2005 issue is still up on their site but their site hasn't updated to Mar 2005 yet; so you'll have to wait. I cannot wait for this game at all. I'm still playing the xbox demo to help me through until the release date. :laugh: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/297642-chaos-theory-gets-oxms-highest-score-ever/#findComment-585629274 Share on other sites More sharing options...
