    CAN WE EXPECT A DEMO

    So I must ask: "CAN WE EXPECT A DEMO?" --> from Obsidian not Bioblare of course.
    WHO KNOWS? DOUBTFUL THOUGH!

    Sheesh people...
    You don't need to tell me! I JUST THOUGHT THE GUY WAS HARD OF HEARING!! :lol:

    128meg vs 256meg vs 512meg
    128MB is mid range at least.
    Well, I'd say that moving forward from this point, 128mb is quickly becoming low range/bare minimum for a lot of games out there.This isn't 2002 anymore. ;)

    More: To answer both questions here at once (unofficially of course):1) The minimum estitamed memory to get the full eye candy will likely be 256 meg. However, that's going to require a rather potent chipset as well (i.e. 7800/R520 type of chip).2) The minimum estimated spec to run the game outright will likely be a 128 meg shader model 2.0 card. But as we all know, there are plenty of those out there in the NVidia FX5xxx series of cards (mainly 128 meg versions) that are miserably slow in terms of their shader performance.If you happen to have one of those and still want to play with decent performance, you can always run with the vertex lighting option turned on. ;)

    Platforms
    I'm not sure, but I believe there are plans for a Linux based server. However, that's nothing new as I believe that's what was said about a year ago when this issue came up. Sorry...that's all I know at the moment.
