Apprarntly most stores got their shipments this weekend and some of them sent them out by mistake.
My mate got his 2 weeks early due to some ******** at the place he preordered it from sending it out already.
Ho hum.
Says it runs like a dog on max settings on his P4 2ghz with geforce 4.

 

not surprised, they recommend a graphics card with 512mb to run max detail!

 

It comes on 3 cds or a DVD and is available on Suprnova now if you want to "preview it"

 

Just getting my preview now - and yes I will be buying it - I'm just too damn' impatient!

 

I'll be getting it for my xbox, as my pc just barely meets minimum specs

 

Hello

As I mentioned somewhere in a thread below: My 512mb, AMD 1.4, GeForce 2 64mb PC will not even run it properly at 800*600 in low detail.

Time for an upgrade I guess.

Steve.

 

runs well on mine

1024*768 Med detail (haven't tryed full yet)

XP3000, 1gig DDR3200, 9600pro

 

XP3200, 1gig DDR400, 9800 XT runs fine at 1024x768 Max detail.

Scary as **** though, was playing with my headphones on at night with all the lights off and it's designed to make you jump and p00 your pants.

 

Have to agree with that, after playing for a while last night at one point the lights keep failing and it goes completely black as you turn the torch on you are suddenly faced with a mutated human

On my PC ( XP1800 768mb ram 9600pro ) the game seems fine at 1024 x 768 med detail. Although I think a processor upgrade is my next step......

 

Very atmospheric game, scaring the crap outta me.
Need a new vid card I think, mine just aint up to the job.

1024x768 Med Detail
3200 Clawhammer at 2.6ghz, GF4 ti4600, 1gb pc4000

 

IMHO its just too dark Pity as it looked ok.

 

its a great game run it on 1600 x 1200 on high detail with no problems, would hate to play this connected up to my home cinema would be scary

 

HOW SCARY????

 

you need a pillow to hide behind

 

That's one reason why I want it on the xbox.... dolby digital 5.1

 

Got it connected to my 150" projector. Lights off, actually screamed when a monster ripped open some steps on a stairway and jumped out.

 

whens it out on Xbox? I too want to get it hooked up to my projector for some late night thrills...in the meantime need a new pc for it (see my other thread)

 

LMFAO that bit got me too, actually jumped backwards away from the screen lol

Runs OK on mine. Athlon XP2600+, 512MB RAM, 128MB ATI Radeon Pro 9700 at 1280x1024 (that's the resolution of the TFT monitor, so I try not to run at anything else).

Agree that it's scary as **** though. Atmosphere reminds me of how scary we all thought the original Doom was when it came out. And it's a bit like Half Life, too.
