That's a very good point. At least informed consumers won't buy into the hype, right? (xmasgrin)

Could use some of the SM3.0/FP16 HDR features , but nothing more than that.

[Lfctony]

Buying at launch, hopefully I won't regret it. But probably there will be reviews out by the time it hits the shelves in the UK.

[Mr_LoL]

Hopefully they have sorted out that 10 shots before you kill someone bug.

[Arioch]

Nice - gonna buy this unless the early reports are overly brutal.

[crainger]

Sweet. I hope they can pull it off after all this time. From what I've seen of what Plastic Wax (http://www.plasticwax.com) is working on, the cutscenes will look amazing atleast. :D

[hirantha]

I’m in suspense to buy 2 copies; one I will frame and the other I will use for you know what. Good idea don’t you think?

[CaptNKILL]

[nekrosoft13]

another THQ game, they did amazing QA on Titan Quest and Company of Heroes. Hopefully they won't mess this one up.

[stevemedes]

Only took 5 years? Doesn't seem that long with how long Prey and HL2 took to make.

[OWA]

Nice, looking forward to it and hopefully this date doesn't change.
