Theres plenty look a few pages back

 

[Tom|Nbk]

Can anyone clarify this?

Does the PC Demo looks better than the Xbox360 demo when maxed?

Course it does

Its 3/4 up on Usenet btw.

Just want to confirm that global lighting on or off being on has no noticable effect on performance for my X1950 pro, I can't really tell much difference tbh.

Assuming another 4 parts don't magically appear!

Runs on the 2900XT in DX10 very smooth, but some textures are very dark or completely black.

Waiting for new drivers.

Yeah exactly what I noticed. It's especially noticeable on the floor textures (bright areas adjacent to black ones)

Also there don't seem to be any textures on the hands and on the lil girl (when you're recovering after dropping)

Going to run it again with fraps on.

looking forward to running this on my creaking single core agp rig. i think i can hear it weeping while i'm downloading.

Looks exactly the same to me running maxed out in DirectX 9. The only thing thats better is the res.

Taken from Gamespot forums. I'm getting 150 kb/s atm, still gonna take 4 hrs though :|

That's what the last sentence meant, I think it looks slightly better with it off but I'm really not sure.

Glad it's not just me.

Something I noticed; the either non-textured or very black textures...some of the objects they're on are transparent? Like at the start before you go down in the elevator or enter the building, you can see through the coloumn to the door.

Downloaded and installed, runs like a charm on my 1950pro but I lose sound right after the intro video after your dumped in the sea.

 

[Gonzo0]

You should all thankme for showing you gigaget and its blistering speeds

 

[YoungBlood]

That GigaGet software is insane. I don't know how it does it but it max's out my 8mb line where without it I must have been getting <10kbs and just gave up on it.
I just hope it does'nt end up being a corrupt zip.

Thanks Gonzo0

The NZB file tells you the overall size, its uploading fairly well. Wont be long before it complete.
