single-player demo

Shweet.

Hopefully they optimized the game... at all. MP beta played absolutely horrible and it doesn't even look THAT good.

But I'm definitely looking forward to this. Hopefully they'll reveal a little more of the storyline with the little girl to get people interested in it again, and not just the levels from the 10 minute video demo.

lol they shit looks cool rock:

the demo is out now.

fileshack
3dgamers
all the usual places

Hopefully since this is a proper demo it runs better than the multi beta, that thing ran horribly with any of the settigns turned on that made it look good. annoy:

Lemme know how it is, Gervagina.. I won't download if it's SHIIIITE.

Well the multi was pretty dire, had some nifty effects but it felt so friggin basic, was like you fired the smg, took your finger off the mouse button and it still fired for a little while. Looked like ass as well if you wanted to get over 40 fps everything had to be turned off. With everything on it looked good but nothing on the scale of doom 3 imo, even though the performance in doom 3 multiplayer crapped on that multi beta.

24 mins left till dload finished dance:

getting 800kb/sec

thanks. i was waiting in line at fileshack and i missed my 5 minute window to download.

Just beat it, It runs fine on my two year old machine.

For 600mb the demo felt really short, and as far as the shooter part of the game goes it's alright, but I didn't get to use all the guns they gave you in the demo because you can only hold three at any time.

It wasn't as scary as all the magazines made it out to be, and a few of the scenes that I could tell were supposed to be suspenseful only came off as really slow. The girl stops being scary after the second time you see her.

Slow-Mo is kind of annoying though, I wanted it to go slow, but not as slow as they make it.

Can't really tell how scary a game is gonna be based on what you said was a short demo. The demo's probably been diluted a lot, the developers are trying to keep players wondering wtf is going on till the full version comes out.

I thought it was awesome.

It's like Doom 3 atmosphere and graphics with good gameplay and a so-far good storyline.

FSAA doesn't seem to work in this demo, i have it set to 4x in the game options but everything appears ragged still.

Seems a little laggy in places, going around corners sometimes things freeze for a sec like the games loading in the area. Smg still has that weird feel to it like its firing in bursts when you take your finger off the trigger.

The game also comes with a new frame rate raping feature called soft shadows.

This is the regular shadow setting which is referred to as hard shadows, same thing as was done in doom 3.

Now this is the new "soft shadow" effect, in other words the outside edge of the shadow is blurred a little to make it look more real.

Looks decent on regular player shadows but in other objects it tends to make your vision a little weird

Kinda hard to look at that last one, makes it seem like your vision is blurred. oOo:
