Bridge It

[Keith Heitmann]

This game looked interesting so I downloaded the demo. However, after two days of successfully downloading the 200+MB demo file the demo installer wouldn't let me.

Turns out that you MUST have a Nvidia card to play this demo and the game! I've have a few other games that state it was designed with Nvidia in mind, but still ran on my ATI powered graphics system.

The installer says that my hardware is incompatible....now I understand why their message board is so empty.

Too bad, it looked like it might have been fun.

Makes you wonder what some developers (or publishers, or whomever is responsible for getting people interested in a game via demos) are thinking.

I'm not sure what their intent was. They say it was a joint Nvidia/Auran project to "push the limits", but to make it so that only one brand of video card could run it is insane.

[Redbirdy]

Yep, seems pretty ludicrous to create such a restrictive demo. It would be fine for some "in-house" project to see what their capabilities were, but for something intended to be released to the general public it simply defeats its purpose.

Yes! I'll say I have to agree on all counts. Even though I am an nVidia card user, plain NUTS as not all have them in their PCs. YEESH ...

Sincerely,
