Just wanted to put this up for my fellow System Wars posters and for anyone who hasnt heard of this awesome game or for people who have and want to share their experiences. . .

Just completed the game and i have to say from the graphics, atmosphere, gameplay, story and pacing it was amazing didnt want it to end.
The concept and the universe with which the game takes place is one of the most impressive i have seen in a game. I dont really wanna go into to much details i dont want to spoil the game for anyone.

But if you thinking about getting the game but havnt decided. . . do it, you will not regret it

Some screenies - Max Details 1440x900 4xAA 16xAF

No its on the PC using the source engine and a very small dev team and its a budget title so you have to forgive some of its short fallings but playing the game the art style is beutiful if disturbing in places :P

Lol aye be careful with those requirements when you enable Motion Blur uses quite an intense Depth of Field effect apparantly has a drastic effect on FPS on older systems.

I think the stylized graphics make it look very interesting for a budget title. Sure there could always be higher polygons and better textures with any game, but it does well enough that it won't age quickly. My mind goes to games like American McGee's Alice when I think of stylized visuals that have survived the times, it could do the same for this game.

The game was low cost to make, is cheap to buy and will run on low end hardware by today's standards. Since many people like the weird look of the visuals this seems like a win win situation for the developers and gamers.

You can criticise it for not being technically advanced but it's because of that attitude there are so few exclusives today, perhaps you should be more open to none bleeding edge games.

my system is only about 6months old, and pretty much maxed out at the time. Pretty much theonly thing that beats my system is all the new stuff that came out ie SS HDD, i7, DDR3 etc etc

This game looks damn good. I really hope the devs make alot of money from it. What do you think is the chance this game comes to consoles? Iwont be able to get it on my PC for a long longtime so i wouldnt mind a console port. Or is this an RTS case where the gameis specificallydesigned for PC and just wouldnt work on consoles?

It would have no problems running on consoles, whether the developers are willing and can afford to release on consoles is a different problem.

On a scale of 1-10, what would you give the story and combat? I'm really thinking about buying it when I get home.

It's a fighter/shooter. Think Chronicles of Riddick, only much more bizzare.

I would give the story a 5, and the combat an 8/8.5. The story isn't anything to write home about, but the combat can be pretty exhilarating when you get into it. I'd say it's definitely worth the purchase, just for the experience.

Yeah I just saw the price on Steam. $20 for a game that seems to be being hailed as an instant classic by gamers. I doubt they'd have the funds to release it on consoles, even if it was over an online marketplace.

To be fair even though the controls are perfectly fine with keyboard & mouse i feel a controller would be better for the melee combat in the game imo . . . so it would work fine on consoles. cant see it happening though as the ACE Games are a very small outfit and probably wouldnt have the resources for a port!

Looks intresting, but my PC prolly won't worth crap.

I got a AMD 3700+, 1 gig DDR ram, and and Nvidia 8500. I haven't tried any new games since Conan, and that raped my PC lol. I can run HL2 maxed at 1028x786 with 2xAA and get a good framerate.

You have to keep in mind that because it's a source game it could share some resources with other source games you might have installed, so the download could be bigger if you don't have any other source games installed (man what a crappy sentence that was) Any way, I will buy this in the future. I just have too many games to play at the moment. (L4D and company of heroes own my life!)

It is atleast i thought so and its left open for a sequel as the world that Zeno Clash takes place could have many great stories take place.

If they had a demo would be most of the game :P . . . thats the only let down its length, but it is a budget title takes between 4-6 hrs depending on difficulty.
