Can a mod edit the thread title to remove 'german'

Nice, this looks amazing.

Haven't tried it myself yet, currently downloading. I'm getting 192kb/sec on a 2mbit conn so not too bad. Comments I've heard are "loooong loading times..uh. And can't even see bad guys correctly, shadows everywhere, and they are just black. like doom3", "Doesn't even start here.... I'm running on a custom modified windows 2003 server version" and " Looks like crap...kinda..!"
So, we'll see what it's like eh. I saw a couple of non HD trailers and it looks pretty nice.

ffs show some interest you so called gamers. :smash: I haven't tried out the english version yet, but this is a gushing reply from someone on another forum:


"This is an EXCELLENT shooter. Just finished the demo and I am now very very eager to play this. I had zero interest up til about an hour ago, and boy how wrong I was to dismiss this.

Notables:

Graphics are excellent, but of course this means having a nice rig. It was a tiny bit chuggy in parts on my machine (3.4ghz, 2 gigs, 6800GT w/256 megs), but for the most part smooth enough.


Voice acting is top notch. Rarely are voices truly excellent in AAA games, let alone from a small developer like these guys, and its just awesome.


Music was very atmospheric but subtle. Ambient even, and never intrusive.


Story is what it is; full of western cliches, but like anything its about delivery, and I was immediately engaged. Train robberies, showdowns, renegade apaches, revenge and redemption...its all there and its fun. Its a serious game with all the tension and drama.


The game isn't just a run and gun; there's stealth (both aural and visual), hiding in bushes for complete invisibility and leaning for peeks.


When there is shooting(okay there's a lot of shooting, dont let me kid you ), there's a wonderful dynamic depth of field effect when you zoom in on your target with a gun.


The Preacher character has a very fun focus mode play; with his revolvers holstered, you click either mouse button (both buttons are for the left and right pistols for akimbo fire), he draws and goes into a Max Payne-ish slo-mo, with TWO crosshairs starting on either side of the screen which are slowly accelerating as they converge on the center of the screen. During this time, you're free to move the camera around all you like (no movement though), with the 'aim' of placing the crosshairs over your enemies and firing the appropriate gun (left pistol for the left crosshair, right for right). What you get is a great 'quick-draw' effect and with practice, are able to quickly tackle many enemies at once, usually killing them all. Rechargeable ability, and fortunately not too overpowering, as the crosshairs move relatively quickly and its awkward(in a good way) to aim at enemies when the crosshairs are all the way at the edge of the monitor.


The showdown's involve waiting for a countdown, then quickly pulling back and then pushing forward on the mouse to draw the pistol...then it's just a matter of getting a rather floaty cursor over your target and popping his ***.


The other character (you play from two different perspectives), has a whip that not only whips stuff, but you can use it to grab and pull items towards you or, if you whip a beam or branch (or almost anything really), your whip attaches itself to the object, and using the LMB and RMB, you can lengthen or shorten the whip to climb up stuff and swing over gaps. Very reminiscent of Thief's rope arrows, albeit much shorter.


You can pick up objects and move them/toss them/stack them, with full physics. Used in puzzles along with the obvious stacking/climbing scenarios.


Horses are TONS better than Oblivions! "

Mine didn't work. It gives me the blue screen of death :(

[Flamacue]

Sorry to hear that man. Works for me, but had to take some settings down because it was practically freezing up on my modest system.

I played for a few minutes, and it was fun. I wont have much time for the next few days to play it, but I will write more when I do have the time.
