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

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

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

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