That made me laugh, well said.

It's prob been dropped into their outgoing mail section. Just wait for a system update or something.

Ok then a few screenies for you, nothing to spoil anybodies day

The tree and plant sway is stunning, the sounds of the wind and wildlife just make it something else

The game though does have more of a console feel creeping in (compared to Mrwnd) which I had been worried about. Seems good so far though.

What specs are you running it on?

I should add that they are obviously on full settings as I said earlier, when I drop the settings on tree blur and others the picture is not so good, maybe I'll go and get a shot of the settings screen and the same view at lower levels.

I thought so too, but he says in post above that its high...

Hostile_18 · 22 Mar 2006 at 16:03

I better get formatting my comp!

I doubt on free delivery they sent it 1st class, but we shall see!

Davey_Pitch · 22 Mar 2006 at 16:03

To all the people who are worrying that their Gameplay orders have yet to be shipped, don't worry. As long as you get a shipment email at some point today (and sometimes you don't get them till near midnight), you'll get the game tomorrow.

Thats definately high settings. I too have everything maxed and thats exactly how the game looks for me with a 7800GTX. The blurring of grass/trees etc. in the distance can actually be edited in the .ini file so if you cant stand the "pop-up" distance as it is you can make adjustments.

This is a big advantage over the 360 version in my opinion. 6 Months down the line the game will be look far better on PC.

EDIT: By the way I am absolutely overwhelmed by this game. It is quite simply sublime in every possible way. I'm pleased I did the Direct2Drive thing now and got it a few days early.

xander_uk2 · 22 Mar 2006 at 16:09

I'm tempted by this Direct 2 Drive route...

Have they implemented any additional safeguards against UK downloads?

Guess the only way I'll know is if I give it a shot
