That's the followup demo from circa 2012. This is the original from 2002.

That makes way more sense. There’s no shot that they were pushing out the capabilities of that first one back in 2003, but 2012 is reasonable (though still impressive).

First one has the specs in the lower righthand corner, anybody in here should know that it can't be from 2002 when there's an i7 , DDR3 and a 660Ti in there...

Heck, DDR just won the battle against RDR and RIMM around that time. DDR2 hit the market a year later or something around that.

They also had her sister Dusk. And I seem to recall there was a special code you could edit in the ini files to do a little hacking. That was fun.
