ok ive only had 20 mins playing with it but here goes

loaded in sweet
starts up with a splash screen with tutorials & bits & bobs on it .
closed that quick & the first thing that hit me was it looks just like x9 .( so nice & easy to work with )

so i dived straight in & went to ww2 segments hey what the hell is this ive been robbed i cryed theres only x9 media in here !!! but not to be disheartened i made a few rooms & hit test game .

it took slightly longer than x9 to load but not a lot ,to my relif it looked all new, sharp and crisp graphics & ran as smooth as a chip .i had a quick play with water & bloom ( both will add a newlook to your games )

i came back out & went to load in some caracters oh no not again x9 media ,loaded a few in & this time i was dissapointed x9 just brushed up a bit what a shame after all this time they could have added some new media .

but that aside it looks & plays great .
like i said ive only played with it for 20 mins & not looked at anything else yet so stay tuned for more .
screenies in next post .

if you want anyting looking at let me know & i will do my best to give you a honest opinion of it .

Hey it's not all that bad. The reason some of us were starting to hate the stock media was because of how old it started to look. These new effects make it worth using again

Fruitless.

Than make it yourself!
Its not like they planned to make a whole new media scenery etc.
It was meant for X10...and not for some Media...

And also.....uhm editor shot?
Of course it almost looks the same...its in the editor interface
not ingame...

Did you load this over the top of X9? (X10 Upgrade) Or did you load this from scratch? Does it load from scratch? I'm curious about the term upgrade and how that applies to X9.

Best.

I'm sorry, my answers are limited. You must ask the right question.

It loads from scratch, so its a completely separate program, which is nice coz i can have both running along side each other

Oh, that's really bad. Most of the media is the same as X9.

RIGHT!

I promise everyone, when I get X10 I will make a model pack that contains X10 quality media, for free. Probably Guns and entities.

did you check out the scifi by any chance ?
screen shot would be good before a negative.
what about some positives i am sure if you look
you will only find that x9 doesnot even compair
to x10 and you should start to learn what x10
can do first. and await dowload for the ragdoll
ect. did you try the auto update feature.
i did read somware that model packs are being
coverted for x10. so lets see a screen of the scifi.
after all what can you do with the old ww media anyway.
its to outdated, as for quality mabie your setings are
wrong or you pc is not quite to spec becouse i find an
amazing diference in quality and and speed. whithout
even saying anything about the amazing A.I and water and bloom ect
learn how to use these first these will make the screen shot you posted look like x10 should. i bet in 3 to 4 days your screenshots
will be amazing not only to you but to others as well.
i look forward to seeing what can be achived with x10.
have you tried using the scripts for enemy friend ect,
and any of the other features avalable. show us more
as soon as you have some more screenies plz.

You got some terms mixed up there. UV mapping is related to cordinating the position of texture-images on to the 3D model, and thus was already used in the old version (and just about every 3D game after late 90's).

But there really are dozens of new features and the program was built up from a scratch. The layout looks the same, but even that has multiple new & useful options!

Most of the "new" media is inside the Sci Fi section. It would be best for you to do an in-depth review rather than a 20 minute quick review.

You have all the new content you have seen in the videos!

RickV ok here is part 2 of my review

ok since my first post ive had a good old play with the si-fi media & like rick says all the new stuff is in here ,the new caracters are really cool,& updated textures of the old media look great to.

not much in the way of new entitys but the old media looks fresh with the retextures .

the room segments look really cool & can be given a completely different look by playing around with the bloom slider .

the water feature is great but would be better if it could be set to single segments so you could set small pools of water as well as large areas .( i think lee said he would have a look at this in the future )there are loads of settings that you can play around with to make your water look diferent from everyone elses so all water based games dont have to look the same .

ive made a few test levels & had some really good framerates my best was 400 but also had some really crappy ones to ,12 was the lowest ( but this could be down to me only having 1gig of ram )i will get 1 more gig in the morning to see if this sorts it out.the build game menu is almost the same as x9 so you wont have any problems there & its quite fast to, but even a small 2 room demo with a few bits & bobs comes out at over 400 meg so you may need to buy some dvds if you want to share your games .

ive had a few crashes already but that maybe down to me running more than just x10 at the same time & overloading my pc lol .

there are loads of new bits i could talk about but i think that this is enough for this post so stay tuned for more .

The X10 badge indicates exclusive X10 features like higher resolution textures and/or poly counts, intro animations, and LOD switching in some cases.

Ah! So they finally added the LOD-feature as well?

Any info of how it works? Does the engine automaticly reduce the polycount of models, or do you have to have separated models for all the LOD-levels (like Max-, medium- & low-poly) ? I was thinking of using lots of custom-media (selfmade), so I'm interested.

LOD = Level of Detail, it means FPSC X10 now uses mesh degradation when at distances, to boost framerates.
