Pre-alpha footage

3D Realms has uploaded a 20-minute video for its upcoming first-person shooterWrath: Aeon of Ruin. Based on thedemo I played at PAX East, this walkthrough should show you exactly what I meant when I saidWrathfeels more likeHexenandTurokthanQuake. It’s great to have a completely different kind of shooter than just wall-to-wall violence.

The one thing I notice here is that the sound effects are a little dull (something I couldn’t quite tell while in the middle of the Boston Convention Center full of 100,000 people). The shotgun sounds a bit weak, which is unfortunate. It certainly doesn’t feel that way when being used, but there is always time to perfect the sound design beforeWrathlaunches.
