I haven't had time to see much of the Rugby ... work stuff.
I usually love to watch it ... and yeah ... go Johnny go ! ... :D
NZ playing tomorrow ... I'll have to try to find time watch it
Back on topic ... if the demo is 1 GB and this short ... how big will the game be ? ... maybe I'll need another couple of Raptors ... :lol:

I wouldn't rush to watch the ABs, they are playing Romania, I don't think it will be a riveting game- still good enough for me to watch it in the pub at 2300!
LOL I am running out of space in my rig for HDD, only one left of the six slots I have! Raptors are just too small, when they come out at 500GB I might look into them (and a mortgage!)

I hope they can get better still before Crysis ... it looks sooooo jucy.
I'll be getting a new comp I think if there are some new 8900's out by then ...

I think we will be waitng for the 8900 for longer than that, the upcoming G92 is a high-mid range card, not a 8800 beater.VRZone
It is amazing how long the 8800GTX has been the top graphics card, esp if you consider the Ultra as just a factory OC. It will be top for a year or more, maybe!

@ Paddy:

Is the game rather suspense oder action focused ?

DO you know what kind of engine is behind this nice gfx?

It seems to have some suspense/atmosphere but is more action focused using a team like the original Ghost Recon or Star Wars Republic Commando

It is using the Mercury Steam engine.

No it's nothing to do with Valve - Steam - HL2 ...
I think Mercury Steam is the company ... I'm not sure if their game engine goes by the same name.
I read somewhere that they were using a new proprietary next-generation graphics engine to develop the game ... can't find that now but here is a link to Mercury Steam they are a Spanish company and so its in Spanish ... http://www.mercurysteam.com/

Pants guys ... this solution isn't working in the Steam bought version of the game ... :(
The menu starts with the correct aspect ratio but as soon as you choose the language for the game it sets the aspect ratio to 16:9 ... :(
