I'll put in a 4th vote.
As long as I get one too!

And I thought Oblivion was fun and engrossing - the screenshots look great with lots of HDR, especially the moon shot with the glow from the windows.

r4tch3t · 7th Feb 2007, 12:46

This is one game I have been looking forward to, even with the delays, I still eagerly anticipated its arrival. No point asking for a beta key as my current rig won't run it.

Cthippo · 7th Feb 2007, 12:57

I'm just concerned that they actually get the bugs ironed out and have a good game ready to go on release day. As we've seen before, the little things can kill a game.

riggs · 7th Feb 2007, 13:22

[fingers crossed] Please, please run ok on my lappy [/fingers crossed]

I know you probably don't want to say, what with it being a pre-release version, but what kind of system were you using?

teamtd11 · 7th Feb 2007, 13:43

Anyone want to vote for me to have a beta key???

I looks...

its been a while since there has been a game coming out that i want on release.

Mankz · 7th Feb 2007, 13:51

Good God

From what you've said, this seems to be the 'perfect' game, and mabey those 6 years have been worth the wait.

yakyb · 7th Feb 2007, 14:00

i have this on pre order and so long as its a lot better than its spin off Boiling point ill be happy however i hope it doesnt use the same leveling system that Oblivion used cause that ruined Oblivion for me

DXR_13KE · 7th Feb 2007, 14:47

hmmm..... deus ex....... head shots to preserve ammo...... cool

You mean like Oblivion... Crashes all the time... It is now has a playable frame rate with newer drivers.

Been looking forward to this for some time, was one of the games I had in mind when I bought this machine.

Skill3d · 7th Feb 2007, 15:39

what are the system specs for it or did i totally overlooked them when i looked at the screenshots and the nice story

?

Tim S · 7th Feb 2007, 15:53

I don't think the final system specs have been confirmed yet. We certainly weren't given final specs.

Redbeaver · 7th Feb 2007, 16:20

as long as Nvidia can come out with a Vista driver that supports my 7'series SLI by end of March, im peachy......

samkiller42 · 7th Feb 2007, 17:02

This game does look pretty tastey

Am eagerly awaiting this, should be good to play up at i30 in april.

Sam

glaeken · 7th Feb 2007, 17:40

That does look pretty good. Seems like not only a great visual experience, but the game play seems like it will be top notch too. I doubt my 6600gt will be able to handle it though.

Phil Rhodes · 7th Feb 2007, 19:24

Oh look, it's a three year old first-person shooter with four very similar pixel shader effects.

Yawn.
