Oil Rush Pre-Order gestartet -- Early-Access ab sofort -- Linux und Windows-freundlich

[Kakarott2003]

Oil Rush Pre-Order hat am 02.03.2011 begonnen.

Das Spiel ist noch nicht fertig. Voraussichtlich wird es im Juni 2011 erscheinen.
Man darf als Pre-Orderer jedoch schon spielen. Es steht eine Linux- und eine Windows-Version bereit. Der Preis liegt bei ~14,50€ niedrig im Gegensatz zu anderen Neuerscheinungen.

Das Spiel basiert auf der Unigine-Engine, welche auch vom Heaven-Benchmark (http://unigine.com/products/heaven/) genutzt wird. Gerade für Spieler aus der Linux-Welt ist dies ein interessanter Artikel, da Spiele für Linux meist nicht solch hochklassige Engine benutzen. Dank Nutzung von OpenGL 4 sind auch alle Grafikeffekte, wie etwa Tesselation, ohne Windows 7 Zwang nutzbar (eine passende Grafikkarte vorausgesetzt).

Mal ein paar Vergleichswerte:
