More and more people are starting to see what a great game this is. I will post reviews from time-to-time. Here is one from an IGN affiliate.

cough cough xp cough*
Bypass-OMO Posted - Nov 08 2009 : 17:08:47
Geezer is correct on this old dudes this game is a kick in the pants so for less than 20 bucks I can tell you that you will get your money's worth on this game so come on Geezer and I need some company.
Geezer_OMO Posted - Nov 08 2009 : 15:14:30
Bypass, Kinketsu and myself played a ton of games last night. The more I play this game the more and more I like it. I would encourage people to give it a try. The best game type is battle mode where you have to capture points and hold them.

I will be on around 7pm Bypass or anyone else that wants to join me.

Havent seen anyone mention this but WalMart has family packs of Win 7 for 149.95. Then if needed you can upgrade from their site by dl the copy you need to be better than home premium so you can run XP mode. But Ive upgraded 3 comps for about 55 bucks each. 32 and 64 bit in package too!

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116775 then the main comp upgrade http://store.microsoft.com/microsoft/Windows-Anytime-Upgrade-Windows-7-Home-Premium-to-Ultimate/product/73C70758

Yeah, 8800GTX's in SLI, had to turn all the eye candy off, running at 1920x1200 resolution though and have no lag. 45-60 fps running this way.

Geezer_OMO Posted - Nov 07 2009 : 09:05:36
Me, Bypass and Kinketsu are playing tonight. My ATI 5850 seems to be handling the game on high settings but I can see how it could be harsh on an older single card systems. You are running SLI 8800's right? Kinketsu is going to be using a single 8600 GTS but on a new I7 system. Even so his settings will need to be very low I think. Bypass is running a GTX 260 and says it is doing the job nicely.

This is the most challenging FPS I have ever played. CRAZY! The irony is that it isn't a really fast FPS but the 360 degree stuff makes it hard and tactical. It is like, Tribes meets, Homeworld, meets a flght simulator. Bypass and I where fighting a lot on the dark side of an astroid ridge last night and it was so awesome! Fighting in groups really helps because the enemy can come from anywhere. They start out in front of you and then suddenly they are behind! LOL I wouldn't say that this is a perfect game but Futuremark has an awesome formula here. All this for $18.00!!!!!! Nice!
Stingray Posted - Nov 07 2009 : 06:25:31
Game sure is fun. Should have a SH night. Does take a beating on my GPU's though. Really starting to show their age.
Petrified-OMO Posted - Nov 07 2009 : 01:04:24
lol... now you understand why I have a fondness for the Descent series? Like I have said before: this is Descent without the Pyro.

Now I have to upgrade my main comps OS. It is XP.
Geezer_OMO Posted - Nov 06 2009 : 12:39:07
This game is really good for the money. WoW! It is the deepest FPS I have ever played. What is amazing is that the controls are very simple but the fact that you play in a true 3D environment is what makes it so tactically rich. Simple point and shoot will not win the fight. Futuremark has come up with a FPS that is many years ahead of its time. The average ground pounding FPS player will probably over look this gem. Just being aware of the direction of the light source is important in this game for concealing your location. The first couple of rounds I played, were a bit frustrating but then I figured out that you have to think completely different. Flanking an enemy can be done in an infinant number of planes. This is Homeworld meets FPS. Stupid people will not do well in this game. LOL

Here are some screen shots. Notice the light and shadows. Every asteroid can be a place to hide and shoot from.

I had a meeting tonight so I plan to play tomorrow. Who will be there? I did give it a try for a little while tonight and it is very cool looking.
Kayjay Posted - Nov 04 2009 : 20:13:10
It's not true if there's not screenshots.
Petrified-OMO Posted - Nov 04 2009 : 20:04:57
Well, the game looks sweet, except it is too choppy on my laptop, so I'll have to wait till the 20th to play.
HEARTBURN-OMO Posted - Nov 04 2009 : 19:58:36
Actually, I suk...lol. I still struggle with getting sea-sick or motion sickness...I still fumble with getting out of the way of people shooting at me. But, I do know my way around some of the junk which definatley helps..but, I'll powned nobody...lol
Geezer_OMO Posted - Nov 04 2009 : 14:26:19

HEARTBURN-OMO Posted - Nov 04 2009 : 10:09:24

Petrified-OMO Posted - Nov 03 2009 : 18:28:54
And you get a discount if you were beta testing the game. Could not find any stores selling it except via download.
