I hope they release a Patch fast. Using ATI 5970, AA is broken, shadow also.
FPS is 30-37, some hungs after every half hour and the graphics is not that great.

Actually I found it quite interesting technically. I'm getting kinda old for this kind of games. I expected it to be something like Borderlands with better graphics, but it isn't.

It's more like a splatter Gears of War in first person. Not too bad, but I think I'm gonna pass until the price goes down, as heretic suggested.

It runs at a solid 60fps on my i7-570 at 1920X1080+4XAA with the rest of the settings at max.

For the friend with the 5970, I'd suggest to disable Catalyst AI thus disabling one core and keep the game with no AA with the rest of the settings at max. That should do the trick! Wink

Agreed, it's for a generation that missed out the 90's gibs.
Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.

The game runs on Unreal engine, which is a couple years old now..., so it runs smoothly.
I cant believe the scores this game receives on those websites.
I really dont trust those reviews, obviously prepaid PR Twisted Evil

I've made a video of the first half hour of the game on the PC, for anyone that may be interested
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xjD8y6s77k

My file was perfectly 1920X1080 but Youtube transcoded it to only 720P! wtf? Also why on earth don't they support 60fps videos yet? Man it destroys gameplays. oh well

Well, there were a few hiccups here and there and some framedrops as well, but that's normal.

The game is very light on the cpu side, so there was quite a few processing power left, to video grab at 1080P.Smile
