OMFG. I just finished it. No spoilers, but...
GOD DAMN! THAT WAS INCREDIBLE!
Besides the sheer awesomeness of the game, I'm really happy about how well it ran. Considering how mindbogglingly good it looks, I figured it would run like crap. Instead, I got a steady 50+ fps with everything- and I mean everything- maxed. This makes me very optimistic towards ET:QW.
But... goddamn! That was beyond out of control!

Man, that was fun, and they got the playtime down perfectly. Only thing I didn't like was the the first gun, it feels to weak. The leech gun was pretty cool though, especially the second form of ammo, I wish I would have known there would be pretty frequent ammo stations for it, because I stuck to the first gun mainly. But really, this is a good example of what a great game can be; It looks great, plays with your mind, gives a pretty decent challenge but keeps it fun, scares you, and it even made me laugh a couple of times(Don't Fear the Reaper came on right when the abducto-beams started wreaking havoc, and I burst out laughing).
I was already sure before, and I'm even more sure now: I'm buying this and its going to be great.

Brav-O - I wasn't sure how it would look in-game, but I'm quite pleased. (Glad I pre-ordered!)
The enemies are fun, and there's only a couple that you fight. The A.I. creeped me out once, as I watched a hunter stalk me through a chain link fence (and he did a pretty good job, keeping cover, not losing sight of me, keeping me in range, etc.)
The zombies (?) are fun too, but without spoiling anything, you'll have to see for yourself.

Can anyone post a screenshot of the begining of the demo? The demo is a part of the full game's begining, right? I'd like to see how the pub, or something (where you are abducted by aliens) looks on D3 tech. Not gonna get the demo 'till tomorrow...
edit - Just noticed the screens above, but one more of the pub would be nice
edit2 - did anyone with a similar computer config (check sig) play the demo? What performance can I expect? Doom3 runs like crap (60fps with no monsters, down to 12 with two imps), Quake 4 runs 10 times better... thx in advance

So I take it that the demo was / is highly enjoyable, then?
That's a relief. n_n
We should all play MP together sometime
Oh and J, any of your dl link suggestions are invalid with your godlike connection. D:
You get 600+ kb/s? I'm only getting 350! :angry: Much <3

and yea we should play some MP, someone create a server !
The game is absolutely amazing, can't wait for the full version. I was blown away by the interactivity in the intro, and the gravity gimmick was used very very well. The weapons were awesome, enemies were decent, the "spirit self" or whatever helps splice the gameplay up some. Very original game. I came into it expecting a slightly better version of Doom 3 and came away extremely impressed.
Oh yeah, the game looked and ran pretty decent on a GF4 Ti4200 and 512MB of RAM, very impressive.

The game doesn't look too appealing, but everyone says it's great and I want to test out the power of my semi-new rig.

Przemek, my processor is better(2600+), but otherwise, my computer is the same. It ran great.
Just had a go at MP, that was fun as well(After finally finding a server with no lag). The rest of the weapons/leech gun modes are awesome, wish I could have used them in SP.

Dudes, all the big download sites have it. I got a 500kb/s download from Gamershell.com.
Wasn't able to play the demo yet because of work, so I'll try it out tonight. Judging by all your comments it's teh pwn.

Wow, that was ****ing fun.
I love the leech gun, specifically the ice/or whatever it is powerup.
Enemies were pretty damn smart, they'd shoot at me behind cover, run away when they were getting pwnt, throw grenades while behind cover.
I love how when you die you have to kill these spirits... and you start off right where you died.
And god DAMN, the portals are ****ing awesome, you can actually stand in the middle of the portal and see two sides of the level at the same time! :O
Wallwalking was pretty damn cool too, very disorienting for myself though... first time I've been nauseous from playing a game. o_o
I played multiplayer for a tiny bit, unfortunately it's pretty laggy.. I joined the lowest pinged server(102 or something) and it was still laggy as shit. D:
The game actually ran very nicely for me at medium settings with some things turned off. (First game that I can actually play with the bloom ON! :O)
My specs are an FX5200(Soon to be a Geforce 6200) with 512mb of ram, and an AMD Athlon XP 2800+.
I'll post screenies in a bit. n_n
Eh, anyone know of a good program to convert TGA's into JPGs? D:
PM me any links.
Or even better, if there's way to make the game take JPGs instead of TGAs?

The game is very good, however, the voice acting totaly ruins it. The thing Tommy says is what I want to say, i dont want a voice actor saying it FOR me...
The wallwalking made me sick! For real, i almost puked, worse feeling ever!

I loved it. Walking on the walls felt totally new, even though I have done it before in mods and the AvP games. They somehow managed it to feel new and exciting. I loved all the little details everywhere, like the bar in the ship, and other earthly things scattered around. The puzzles felt good, challenging but not hard. And finally, the combat was great, I loved the leech gun, and pretty much all the weapons. They had a unique feel.

Well "woh". That was a "woh" experience.
I loved it. Such a perfect fusing of so many great ideas. The ship felt so incredibly alien and bizarre, the horror scenes had me grimacing, the crescendos of the scripting were spot on aided by an amazing musical score. Topped off with those awesome voice overs from your character, "Now that is ****ing weird".
Great stuff.

Finished playing the demo.
I have no idea what it is you people LOVED so much.
The first alien weapon is crap , it sound bad. All in all the weapons are pretty much what would you expect from a FPS set on a spaceship. The last weapon is kind of a plasma gun , the rapid fire , really no different from other games.
The enemies are WTF. that little creature , the firts enemy you meet is not good at all. The concept of it is ugly , and he just runs at you and get irrataing - he's not fun. It seems they wanted to have the bugging small enemy type and I can't say it was done well.
The troops are regular and generic , same figure as quake4. Again , nothing really special or unique , though the AI is nice and the grenade type weapon is ok.
Voice acting is way overdone , especially the player's char. , and those one-linears really don't do it to me.
the level design is again what you expect from alien spacship , metal and metal , corridors and pannels , though it's better than D3 or Q4 , it doesn't present too much of a change.
Now we get to the gameplay. The gravity and "direction" change can be irratating. You don't notice from where you are being shot at. Though , it's a change from other games , i can't see it more than a try to refresh the gameplay and levels with those "tricks" rather than having better level and game design.
Plus it takes alot of the "puzzels" effect. In stead to try to figure how to get to some place , looking for other way , try stacking stuff , shoot at buttons that are not at reach - you just shoot an arrow to change the way the place is laid out. Although it's a cute effect and obviously some tought went into it , I see it as a cheap "way out".
Same thing goes to the spirit walk , instead of having a real puzzel with some content , you just activate it and walk trough the blocked door to press the button on the other side. Way to go..
Overall , I found the demo really Meh. There was nothing it in that was real good , it was ok and fun to some degree but honestly I don't know what is all the fuss about.
Am I the only one who didn't find the demo great?

Very nice game, and as dieing isn't final (you have to do some mini game to get back to the living) it's the first FPS in a long time where my finger isn't hovering over the quick save button all the time.
