Ok after a loooong search t0 buy the game I finally gave up........ its not available anywhere, and the expected date of arrivale on most of the stores is "No Idea", so what am I suppose to do...... seeing and hearing people all around me "getting" the game and enjoying........ofcourse go for the alternative (and they say buy originals.....from where???)
Anyway installed and played the game for 3 hours, I am at the 3rd round. Playing at 1440x990, all details maximum 8x AA and 8x AF and running absolutely smoothly.
I have not faced any stutterring as well except may be for 10 miliseconds when the games saves at checkpoints, which is absolutely acceptable and normal.
My first impression in the first 3 hours, (mind you only in the first 3 hours), less action more spooki, better graphics, superb explosions (specially at slomo) lots of more gore, infact a bit unbelievable. With a simple machine gun shots bodies fly ripping apart with blood showers every where....enjoyable
but unrealistic.
Rest sound effects is awsome but I dont know if its me the sound quality was better in one (thats subective though) but I felt quality was better in the first game. Effects and soundtrack is definately better in this one.
Finally I did not find that "grainy" effect everybody is mourning about. nfact in DEMO as well I did not find much of that grainy effect......
Would continue today and report more....... happy fear till then..
