It is pretty scary, especially as you're wandering down a passageway, all the lights flicker out, you turn your flashlight only to find a big demon bearing down on you. *parp* It's more of the "make you jump" scary than psychological scary, reminds me a bit of Aliens Vs. Predator in that respect.

AvP 1&2 they were so scary. I am not joking when I say I fell off my chair once or twice...... Slowly walking down a darkened corridor only to miss the fact that the corrider split in 2, I turned just as a xenomorph leapt out at me. Never been so scared in my life. I mean it was 1.30am and no lights on!!

Anyone ever play AvP on the doomed Atari Jaguar? Now that was scary. The game holds up even today, it was released 10 years ago!

Nice screenshot Bifta, I assume it was well worth the wait. :)

I'm in 2 minds at the moment, the engine is without a doubt impressive and future games using it will not doubt follow suit, but, it's not really my sort of game, there has to be more than just wandering around passageways in the dark.

As it turns out, I can run the game on high and also ultra high at 1024x768 with no noticeable performance drop, occasionally (and I mean occasionally, and only on ultra high) the screen will freeze for a second but it seems just as smooth as medium detail. I'm quite impressed an old 128mb 9800 pro deals with it.

Ultra high is supposed to use up to 500MB of texture data so that freezing will be when it swaps data in and out, it will be using your usual system RAM too (how much depends on your aperture size).

The BFG is such a disappointment :(

Looks like as well as sales records, it's going to be breaking piracy records too: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/3527332.stm

I'm downloading it too at the moment (I hope NTL doesn't foam at the mouth because I've uploaded quite alot).

Anyway, I'll be buying this as soon as it's released in England. It's one of those games you have to buy purely because it's a classic (and the fact I've got all the other Doom games).

Shame about multiplayer though, only 4 people max per server, but I'm getting this purely for SP. I'm sure some fan made mods will up the max player amount.

They've probably got a group of geeks secreted away in the deepest darkest basement of the BBC TV Centre. :D
