    When is the official release date?

    It looks class and seems hugely atmospheric even if playing the demo ground my GF2Ti into the fscking ground ... time for an upgrade!
    (I'm sure the actual Game will be more Graphics Card frinedly)

    Got it through the grapevine.

    It's only an alpha demo from what I can see. Still well worth playing tho.

    I tried it out on a dual 2.4 GHz Xeon graphics machine with 1 GB RAM and some super-powered graphics card (Quadro4 or something like that). It was still a bit jumpy when there was alot happening on the screen. But it's only an alpha version so it hasn't been optimised yet. Sure none of the textures and sounds are compressed...

    It was worth putting on ... entertaining.

    I'm sure that once they optimise it fully it will run a lot better.

    I'd rather see it be a machine killer with an uber-brilliant engine anyway, rather than something that scales a bit better but doesn't hit the real possible heights.
