" @Meowayne said:I looked into it further. Am I supposed to be impressed/excited now? Apart from them saying that it is a super duper exciting thing in terms of narrative in gameplay, all I'm seeing - again - are armed men in elaborate suits walking through a post-apocalyptic wasteland, from an eastern european developer whose primary objective - again - is to make awesome graphics." Cool, gritty marines in a desturated wasteland. I'm dying with excitement. "If that's what you think about the game, you should look into it further. "
Umm.. yeah.
The only thing slightly promising here is that they design this game to not have any kind of HUD. That is always a huge thing for an atmosphere/story driven game and kudos to them if they manage to pull it off.
" @xyzygy said:Yes. It's a story-heavy survival horror first-person shooter. How many games like that have there been this generation? That's right; very few. Previews promise excellent atmosphere, creepy, claustrophobic environments, an interesting economic system, and quality storytelling." @Meowayne said:I looked into it further.

What is there not to be impressed about?
Well besides the screens I hope this confirms that GTX470/480 will be out by mar 16 ( the games release date). I mean it HAS to be out by then, nivida is backing this game for its dx11 yet they don't even have a dx11 card on the market.
the 360 version should look good. Obviously it is not going to have this advanced tessellation but from what I hear it still looks pretty sharp.

Wow, that looks pretty good. I actually almost preordered this because it comes with Red Faction Guerrilla lol. No idea what this game is about though but I'll look into it now.
" Wow, that actually looks phenomenal. Isn't the team behind this game pretty small? I've never heard of them before but this is impressive. "Yeah, they seem to be pretty small. 4A was started by some guys who split off from GSC Game World (the guys who made STALKER) before SoC was released.

" That looks awesome. I wish I had a PC that could run it that well. "Yeah, me too. It looks like the 360 version is up to par, though, so I'm looking into that.

" OMG I just found out that this game isn't coming out for PS3... weird. I guess it's another MS exclusive added to the list for this year. What's up with only PC and 360? Easier to port to the 360, I'd imagine? "
My guess is that, since it's a showcase for DX11, they're only using DirectX. Just so happens that the xbox uses a version of DirectX (xbox is short for directXbox). The PS3 doesn't.
I can't wait for this game, I'm kinda split on the idea of it not being PC exclusive though, on one hand I'd hate for it to be dumbed down in any way, but I would also like the game to sell really well.

" Looks like on par to the X360 gameplay videos to me. Point of diminishing return anybody? "Huh? I guess you missed the HSAO and Volumetric lighting which the XBOX 360 can't do. Point of diminishing eyesight?
Why do they need the new NVidia Fermi. Even an ATI 5750 and 5770 supports DX11." Nvidia Directx11? So they have their hands on a working Fermi card? The screens look great, here's to hoping it doesn't run like utter garbage like Stalker does. Edit: I just noticed the vegetation looks terribad, like in Stalker. WHEN WILL THEY FIX THIS??? "
Edit: NVM im guessing your talking about Nvidia
