Need a Game with Looping 3D Demo

    Hey Folks,

    I need a game that I can install and then loop a demo of. It's going onto a computer that I want to leave running with a good 3D demo to show off it's graphic's capabilities.
    Anyone have any idea? I don't mind too much what it might be, FPS, RPG, SIM etc etc, just so long as it looks reasonably good. It doesn't have to be a recent title either, perhaps even 2-3 years old.

    Many thanks for any advice.

    u can loop farcry on the start menu

    Yeah I had that on one before, but it's not actual ingame footage, it's just the video from the menu screen, so it's a tad fuzzy. Thanks though.

    I have Lomac on it at the moment, and it looks pretty nifty, but it's a few years old, so I'd prefer something a bit newer.

    unreal engine is easy to work with. just read up a tutorial and loop what ever level takes your fancy.

    Battfield2 lets you download demos of games you played online and then record camera movement to play again later - I've never tried it though.

    Or even easier, why don't you just download the demos from the graphics card manufacturers? Whatever card you have, just d/l it's demo and it should show off all it's abilities.
    ATi Demos
    nVidia Demos

    edit:
    Just remembered FarCry has a level near the end where there's a big battle going on. It was the only bit where my pc started to choke, so it should test yours. There are cheats that let you select god-mode and fly the camera around. You could just hover the camera over some area of action and watch. I think the battle is continous, but I didn't stick around to check.

    Thanks guys, thats some good advice. I'll look into Unreal. I didn't realise ATI had Demo's, I knew nVidia had as I've used them in the past, but this time around it's an ATI card.

    I didn't know that about Battlefield 2- I have that so I'll look into that option. Yeah I think I remember the battle your talking about with Farcry. Heh, just hope I don't have to play it through all the way again!!!
