Years ago I got a PC Gaming magazine in the UK and on the CD, I played one of the demos on it. For years I have been trying to remember what it was with no luck finding it anywhere if anyone can help? I don't recall when exactly I played it or how old the game was, probably late 90s to early 00s sometime but may be slightly later.
The game started in a snowy mountanious landscape during the day. I think there may have been a intro cutscene that started before you got to play. I remember it was 3rd person and you took control of an armoured vehicle of some kind. Around the landscape I remember very large quartz like crystals here and there for some reason. I think the goal of the game was to find and pick up some scientists to rescue them before they got killed somehow and their may have been a time limit to find them. I also distinctly remember driving the vehicle up a ramp and through a circular gateway (possibly it teleported you to another location but don't quote me on that) and the gateway lookeda bit like a Stargate from the Stargate TV francise.
When I think about the graphics, this could be wrong since its been many years since I played this, but the 3D style may have have had a similar look to MechWarrior 4 but I don't think this game was a MechWarrior game.
Anyone have any ideas? This has bugged me for years as to what it was.
After 15 years or so of trying to remember what this game was, I finally found it. I may have remembered one or two slight things wrong but overall what I posted looking for was correct, the vehicle you drive, snow landscape in one part, crystals and Stargate looking objects. The game was Infestation by Ubisoft and came out in the year 2000.
