The light and shadow effects represent about half the render time, apparently.
There's quite some debate about whether they should be an option to turn those effects off. It would obviously improve performance for weaker systems, but the shadows are crucial for some of the set pieces. It'll be interesting to see what they do.
In other news, Half Life 2 is gonna kick ass.
If I'm posting here then Counterglow must be down.
what does that pic show what we didn't know already?
I remember a few pictures quite like that one with the same monster!

Your graphics card is more important for these games. I actually got the screenshot off a review of nVidia's new GeForce FX5900 Ultra

The leaked alpha build wouldn't even run on it. Neither will the final build. I expect it to *run* on 800 MHz, but don't even think about fluent game with AT LEAST 1.3 GHz and 32 MB video, better to have 1.5 GHz or more, and 64MB video.

Screenshots of it have been out a while, but they still don't do the game justice.
Download the latest trailers from the Xbox pressconference and the id E3 presentation, it looks even better in motion.

for once i am glad that a game has a while to go before release...
It will give people time to save up for new hardware that this game looks like is really needs.
While there might be a physics engine that applies to the jugs, I doubt that an entire engine was written specifically for the funbags. - Cyclotron - debating the pressing issue of boobies in games.
Will it play good and fast and hard on a new Athlon 2 gig and a GForce 64meg? Yes or no?

I got my upgrade the other day. I am very content with my Radeon 9500, although it's a bit of a pity that patching it to a 9700 gave me some instability problems.
That's what I wanted to know, thanks
