Gaiking, the first realtime raytraced game using OTOY

In September 09, during the launch of the HD5800 series from ATI, a short teaser of a anime like game/movie to be released in 2012 was shown by Jules Urbach (http://www.brightsideofnews.com/news/2009/9/21/worlds-first-ray-traced-pc-game-and-movie-to-arrive-in-2012.aspx). The game would use the same assets as the movie (produced by LightStage and Big Lazy Robot) and would be raytraced in realtime using OTOY technology.

A few days ago, a rather spectacular trailer of this game/movie surfaced: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3tttKdhCYw.
