Hello,
After playing the game I just have to tell everyone how bloody good it is! The speed of your character is perfectly acceptable (think Thief 3: Deadly Shadows), and the sound FX are crystal clear. You've probaly seen the movies already so you know what the graphics are like, but for me to see it on my monitor being powered by my hardware is beyond words (having said that, I must remind you I'm not a graphics whor*). When I was attacked by zombies I couldn't kill them or pass them as my hardware bent under the graphical pressure (2fps), but I could manage 9fps walking about alone without being attacked. I'll try and get a snap shot of the menu screen for you, but I don't know how to post links here.
My hardware spec is:
G-Force 3 Ti200
256MB SDRAM
P4 1.6GHz
WinXP Home Edition

Thats an upgrade for me. 2fps? terrible. I've got the leaked E3 demo, and that ran faster. Damn.

Is this the illegal version you can get off the net?

More than likely I would think. I'm hoping the optimisations in the final build are up to par.

Yes, it's the alpha (has 3 very short maps).
Here's 3 screens I made for you.

I would love to see how this would run on something a bit more beefy, im not even sure my Radeon 9600xt would cope very well when i am bain attacked by tons of zombies, looking forward to it's realease, also the downloaded version runs pretty bad on most hardware setups as it is just a beta.

It's been leaked?
I'm not up on current events.

Yes ages ago, alpha was a E3 2003 demo. Think there might be a few other versions out there as well.
I played this last year. It ran great on my machine. P4 2.4, 512mb, 128mb Geforce 4 Ti4800 WITH 5.1 surround sound.
Admittedly, it was a bit of a hassle to get it running as I had to revert back to older graphics drivers.

It was leaked months ago, saw some videos and it looked pretty decent even though it was an early Alpha version.
