I could be terribly wrong, but I expect the Zune FreeScale process exceeds a 386 in performance, and we know it has more memory than 2 megs  So I think we should be able to do a little better than wolf3D actually. |
Yeah the zune's specs are better, but it's also bloated as ****. XNA is a horrible system. We(myself, and sorry to disrespect any other programmers on this board) probably aren't capable of making a game as efficiently coded. If we were to build a lean firmware designed for running games on zune it could possibly exceed Wolf 3D graphics but I doubt it would be possible on the bloated XNA bull---- handed to us by M$.
I'm not saying it shouldn't be pursued, I am entirely confident that a ray-casting based engine could run smoothly on a zune, but our expectations shouldn't be that high.
edit after watching the video above: That's pretty impressive. It would be great if whoever wrote that would release the engine.
