Nice, textures look a bit low res in some areas (ground etc) but nice.

Apparently the Doom3 engines normal mapping (or is it per-pixel lighting?  I forget...) limits the sensible dimensions you can have for textures.

I'm sure they used the Doom3 Mars image in that first shot though ;)

How does it play? I'm assuming they have lowered the poly count on actors slightly for increased speed (looking at the 2nd picture appears to confirm this). There does seem an awful lot of Doom 3 textures in there.

It's not that I'm that interested to be honest, just another FPS, matter how ingenious the plan is to take over the Earth/Rule the universe/destroy all sentient life it usually boils down to running round shooting things. Not a bad thing, just way way overplayed now. More out of curiousity than anything else ;)

Just finished the game (on GForce 4 Ti 4200, 64 mb, - 800x600, medium detail).

Better than expected. Excellent at the begining, gets worse at the end.

The flashlights and your fellow marines are cool, and the most memorabble scene is the landing of the USS Hanibal. Damn, it's blasted those defensive turrets in a second and it's huge! When it finally lands you really do feel like an ant.

Other than that, later it's gets too much into that one man army ****. You against a kazzilion overpowered enemies that for some reason can take a whole arsenal before going down...
And that "everyone else failed" crap. I hate those million setbacks that you and only you can fix.

they should have jsut nuked the whole planet.
Nobody dies as a virgin - the life ****s us all!

You're a wrongularity from which no right can escape!
