Hurrah.

That game is beautiful. I only wish I could play it on my current computer. :(

Since I didn't say it, if you read the article they PC requirements are 1.2-1.5 GHz.

oooo yipee!

Now all that needs to happen is for something equivilant to this, except for Marathon! =D

(some guys made a UT original mod for Marathon, but i think the project died somewhere near the mid-way point)

Half Life 2 mac was put on hold because the publisher didn't agree to the PC developers cut.

*Sheds a single tear*

Aye.

I know about Aleph One, but what i was saying is, if only someone (bungie) would re-make it with the graphics etc. that we're going to see in Doom 3 =D  

To try and say something on the topic of D3, any word on where it picks up or what the basic storyline is?

I heard you can find that all on the website lone.

It's coming out on Xbox crypt.

T'will look like shit on the Xbox. It requires a 1.5-2GHz processor. The xbox is like a 800. That fact alone means you won't see the same type of graphics you would see on a high end PC or a nice G5.

Myst, I suspect you will be surprised as to performance on the XBox. Sure, the hardware isn't as great, but the important matter is that the hardware is standardized. You know every single XBox is capable of the same thing, thus allowing you to perform much further optimization than in the PC app where you have to target a very wide range of hardware.

Please tell me something else...just not that.

They won't release a AAA game on Xbox that won't run. That's the beauty of Xbox (consoles in general).

Fair enough. Let's hope they can optimize it well enough.

Well, the Xbox has got to be doing something right if it can run Halo at full settings, whereas my 1Ghz laptop, to run it smoothely, has to have -EVERYTHING- turned to low, or off. (Its got a Radeon 9600)

What porting companies have to do is find some way to let the game optimize itself for the computer it's on not pre optimize it for so many it looses its performance on most.

Halo 2 will have some crazy looking cinematics and gameplay, all at high res and high fps too.

Halo 2 is a game I intend to buy.

Come November, nothing else will matter.

By that viper you mean when Halo 2 comes out? Isn't Halo to come out in September?

November 9th, officially.

What a terrible date... Let us hope that is when they are store shelves.

You might wanna consider pre ordering it, Myst. It may be out of stock by the time you get there to get it.

I'll look into a pre order.

YAY!!!!!

I'm thinking of faking sick that day to go get it. That or I'm racing there after school that day.

Don't fake sick, you may end up in a line of 13 year olds that are all freakishly ugly and look like some sort of wombat.

Now Mysterio, don't beat yourself up! I was thinking you'd look more like a gopher.

Perhaps you're too new around here. Ask someone who feels like explain the wombat joke.

Please explain then.  ::)

You'd have to know Mr. Wombat...
