Default 3D Mark Vantage Successor, What do you want to see?
So what do you want to see in the successor to Vantage, hopefully in 2010?

I want to see the return of the entertaining demo, with a kickass sound track, based on 3DMark 99/2000/2001, hopefully not with PHYSX support that can skew results depending on the GPU used.

A sequel to what we see in 3DMark2000 and 2001! A soundtrack that is comparable to the excellent tracks in also 2000 and 2001. A nice long demo movie! Helicopters! Dragons! Nature! Lobby Gun Fight! Mech-Walkers! Scantily clad CGI women! oh wait lol.

One of the reasons i fell in love with mad onion was because i saw 99 running at microcenter. Love at first sight, a type of prequel or even a redux to those would be amazing.

Personally, I'd just like to see something! Speculation of FM abandoning benchmark software all together and venturing in to the gaming industry full force has me doubting if there will infact be successor at all..

I would like to see something customizable. Perhaps choose your own tracks when you demo, etc.

Then add a little of all the old benchmarks back in for say a classic benchmark. Perhaps a extra test feature. Vantage just takes way too long to run and then the end you are sad unless you have a new ati card or a 295 nvidia or something tri sli'd.

I agree with the others who posted on this thread Bring back the classics re-done with today's tech. 2000, 2001 and 2003 were some of the best stuff around. Oldies but goodies.

Personally I love the fact it bring hardware to its knees, I am just very dissapointed in it because it doesnt have a demo, and has no sound!

Don't worry, I've mentioned this to them before. A '3DMark Reloaded' would indeed be awesome, and I'm sure it would be a huge hit.
