I think I might be getting an Xbox 360 for Christmas, so I'll just wait to buy it till then.

It's Not : Demanding

That doesn't sound too promising. I hate how today's games are made for a zero frustration tolerancy audience

 

[Ralfst3r]

I've been on the lookout for this game for quite some time, and this review only acknowledges that it will pwn. Bring it.

I read that as demanding on the system. But either one sounds like a viable option.

 

[DraKon2k]

I never really cared about the game, but now I do

Can't wait to see how my PC(Q6600, HD2900XT, 3GB, Vista32) will handle it


Does it support(and make use of) multiple cores?

 

[Tomcat_ha]

unreal 3 engine so yes.

Having seen screenshots and videos, I doubt that the remark is aimed at the hardware. But I hope to be proven wrong ^^

Been looking forward to this one...freaky system shock 2 moments on the way !!!

the death of the little sister has been censored into a green smoke to avoid trouble.

I love the 20's / 30's atmosphear !

 

[Tomcat_ha]

I really hope that its for the gfx it is not demanding. If not well it can still be good. Note not demanding does not mean easy just not hard.

I spend my career, and my gaming life, waiting for a moment when a game just astonishes me, when I can't believe what I'm seeing, what I'm doing. BioShock has five.

I love this quote

Note not demanding does not mean easy just not hard.

If that ain't Zen, I don't know what is ^^

Still, looking forward to it

I was looking forward to this game, before I realised that all Irrational Games seem to be able to do lately is flog the same dead horse only with nicer graphics (Tribes Venegance for example).
I hope this will be the exception, but I'm not holding my breath. And I'd certainly never say anything as crazy as "worthy successor to System Shock 2". Yet.

Mind you all I have seen so far is Xbox360 footage which makes the game seem a bit clumsy.

Fingers crossed for this one.

 

[Tomcat_ha]

I actually heared the new tribes was actually excellent but just didnt sell well

 

[SheepDip]

I like Tribes V and I played it for ages, but it has all the problems that Tribes 2 had.

 

[Zell]

Entire arsenal of slow-moving projectile weapons?

 

[PNV]

Looks good but I fear there may not be much replay value. And how many different types of enemies are there? We've only seen a couple but they've been showing us the same levels over and over so maybe there's alot more.
