Oh I understand, but folks bitching about something not being in DX9? Even I updated to Vista finally.....

Vista is crap and almost killed my CPU when I tried doing an annual format and fresh install. It would BSoD while installing on the fresh HD, and it was all that stupid new installer update things fault that Microsoft fucked up on.

And my Win 7 still hasn't come in the mail..... :5

Vista obviously has it's problems but even you are updating to 7.

sweet time to stress the gpu

I will try and make some fraps video.

Played it for a bit (5 minutes) and got bored. It's a glorified tech demo. A very pretty one that at high settings gives me less then 5 FPS (my poor computer) but still not really a game.

Not that my PC can even boot this one up, but I thought it had some potential...

Is the gameplay just bad, or what? I figured it'd rock to get a team of TTPers in a decent zero g environment.

Actually... Saltspring's PC can handle it... I'll check it out tomorrow for sure.

sounds about right for a graphics pimp

It runs so well on your computer whilst mine is struggling along.

I like the gameplay, it's very fresh for me. There's quite a few things to play around with that weren't shown in that video, such as rotating around and walking on different surfaces, using the scope and turning off your electronics for a stealthier mode.

I just wish my computer could handle it better.

I spent half an hour playing on my brothers computer and loved it so much I bought it for the low low price of $10.

Backing up all my files and stuff for the move over to Windows 7 right now, my disk came in the mail today!
