Day one at GCDC'08 began with a bunch of interesting Intel demos which we had a quick look at. One surprising thing we were discovering is the ability of Intel Integrated Graphics running complex games like Sacred 2 by Ascaron. Ok, not in full detail but in a lower resolution with at least 25 frames per second. Quite compelling. Aaron Coday showed us a glimpse of Ascaron`s Sacred 2 which will be released in fall 2008. Intel and Ascaron worked closely together in order to optimize Sacred 2 for Intel Integrated Graphics so that you can even play this RPG on your laptop. With Sacred 2 you will have the same playing experience on a mobile platform than on a desktop PC. What`s interesting about Sacred 2 is its ability to run within a local wifi environment via ad-hoc mode. This means that you need no router in between and you can set up the wireless connection just by a single mouse click.
