Anyone else looking forward to this game?

Not since they screwed over the PC gamers.

Yeah that is a shame, but I'm not going to punish the developers for Micro$oft buying their love.

Actually, thats only half correct. You have to burn away the darkness surrounding any enemy first with the flashlight, flaregun, etc. Then you have to kill them with whatever gun is handy at the time. From my understanding, balancing the resources can become hectic as your flashlight has limited batteries and in true survival horror fashion, limited ammo.

or on a pc like they did with quake/doom a duct tape mod heh

Well, you never drop the light though, if thats what you were meaning. You sort of wield a pistol and flashlight like true pro, which is kind of odd given that he is a writer and not say swat or something.

ah well they could do a hook up a car battery to your flashlight or something heh

I for one though this was going to be console only from the get go so i'm not as disappointed even though i hate it when companys do this :5 I am still stoked for this one though, looks like a great story with some real intrigue

Well, got done with the game and I have to say it was great. The ending will definitely leave you asking wtf.

Anyone else play this game yet?
