And you wouldn't want Win7 why? That req. probably means they want DX10...which seems reasonable to me. Three to four videocard generations have supported DX10 fully...so it only makes sense at this point. D3D11 only adds more... Now, the fact that Futuremark is making this is worth noting...as they're the guys who do 3DMark benchmarks that are MEANT to bring your system to a crawl...I wonder how well this game will be optimized - and I'm amazed they actually have it marked as a game they're optimizing for nVidia cards; I realize it may not be possible to optimize for both aritectures, but seeing as how their benchmarks really should be pretty hardware agnostic, I would hope this game would be as well...since they certainly have the experience. Oh well, neat concept either way....but forgive me for pointing out that this is the same type of gameplay games like Descent did oh so long ago, and Crysis did not so long ago (think the part in the mountain.) And while the lack of sounds of gunfire is accurate, it might get a little boring and monotonous I think. It's neat in the video to not hear the gunshots and only yourself breathing, but at the same time, that WILL get boring...there's a reason most movies have audio in space scenes...and why the movie 2001 can seem so...boring at times.
People are still using XP? :D I'm satisfied with Vista, i will wait until Windows 7 gets the first Service Pack before installing it.
XP > Vista. Windows 7 to me feels like XP with some added functions, it just resets all that Vista did so wrong.
That's what i was thinking. It's interesting but i'd like to experience the gameplay for a bit first.
Looks pretty crazy, just wondering how the control scheme plays out. Would be kind of wack to have to use a joystick and shit
Vista is fine all it needed was a service pack or 2( Vista ran on my laptop without a hitch! or performance drop) Im going back to Vista as soon as my 7 beta expires
Vista was WELL before my time dude. I was in college when it was released, and was in high school when development work on it started.
:-P It isn't me against the world, plenty of people do like it...it's just enough bloggers out there bitched, so it has a bad rep that can't be shaken.
Whatever, it eats memory up. I bought more so Fallout 3 would stop crashing, I had 4 gigs then. Its stupid.
Uhhh....I ran Vista in 4 GBs for the LONGEST time. You LIKELY ran into the issue where they allocated GFX RAM to the process' address space, which allowed you to hit the 32bit 2GB process addx space limit. There was a fix out for that ages ago. And by ages, I mean 2 and half years ago. I ran my workstation with 4 GB RAM and was doing multiple builds simulatneously, 4-5 instances of VS open and 20+tabs open in IE with ease.
