so the batteries and ink etc is wrong, but the gravity manipulation and other powers are correctly depicted as their real world counterparts?

Raven + Unreal Engine + Activition Blizzard, sound really good to me. Actually it sounds like a must have; but I could be wrong of course.

Any RPG features in this game?

Can somebody report on the FOV? Is it too narrow? and what about the Aspect ratio, is it Vertical - like most Unreal3 powered games?

@Epsilon
It didn't bother you that all text was in English, with the most retarded method of making it look Russian, with Cyrillic letters in there? And how the main character suddenly understands Russian?

I mean, why even bother setting it up in Soviet territory, when it's all in English? Why not just some nut separatist group? How cool would it have been if everything was in Russian and the main character did not understand anything, which in turn introduces paranoia and fear in the character? How would that be for atmosphere? But no, we have to spoon feed console retards with everything. Rolling Eyes

Yes on all counts. It feels like you play in ZOOOOOM. Even the default 55 FOV value in MoH MP looks a lot better than this poop. Maybe this is 35? Rolling Eyes
And it's vertical, I think; if I remember, I will check later.

make this :

Raven + UE3 + Activision

which makes it sound really bad to me

Raven didnt make a good game since a long time (some may liked wolverine, but that was just cheap action, sorry)

UE3 is just fugly, imho. I hate the gloss and brilliant mix. White reflections and glossy textures.

and Activision, well, nuff said

Anyway, played a bit, not my kinda game. Hate the genre tho, so thats mybe it

Seriously, weaving in Cyrillic letters in English words is as retarded as putting numbers and ascii in words. Neutral

That's just lazy developers. Take a look at UDK and Mass Effect 2, they look a lot better than the 90% or run for the mill UE3 games, like this.

First impressions:
- Controls are somewhat limited (1 key for both use and reload? HATE it since I'm used to reloading with 3rd mouse and either e or f for use >_<)
- Low res textures are very low.
- Typical UE3 engine in terms of mouse handling; requires ini fiddling once again
- Like Leo points out, some weird story things emerge straight away

I'm sure I'll finish this after I've fiddled with the INI files and force some AA (constant 100+ FPS on E8400+5870 for those interested, didn't notice it dropping below 100 at least, playing at 1080p), but some of this is a huge shame already

Time for football now, so cba fiddling now Very Happy

I think I wont download this. I still not play BioShock; so why I would play this if I can play BioShock? (that has 1 year installed in my PC, lol, both 1 and 2)

+1.

I know that I've already posted this before, but here's a comparison between Singularity and the UDK:

Just look at the shadows and textures... Laughing
This is probably a very old build of the engine. Wink

UDK is Unreal Development Kit. But it also comes with the UT3 demo with updated graphics. Smile

Sure it bothers me, but you already pointed it out, so I see no reason in pointing it out aswell.
I won't be commenting further on the game as I already threw it in the trash where it belongs.

The game is meh.

Something happening at the Raven Software. One day they come up ace with Origins Wolverine, next day they fuck up Wolfenstein. Now we get this, linear, unimpressive, unpolished, lots of wasted potential.

Latest UDK examples look even better than that screen, though with some tweaks Singularity might be improved a bit but you can't do anything about texture resolution or "sprites" or what those flame particles (That kinda look painted on even.) are.

( http://www.shacknews.com/screenshots.x?gallery=14760&game_id=#img157536 )

UE3 does have potential and it's licensed a lot though at times while it can rival even Cry Engine in terms of visual fidelity and it's editor in terms of ease of usage it seems to be over optimized and scaled down way to hard in most titles.
(Gears 3 does look pretty nice for a console game but that's Epic themselves and Bioware managed well with ME2 via shaders and similar.)

yes very quiet

Had the same problem with sound. Fixed it by ALT-TAB'ing to Windows, and adjusting volume in Windows 7 audio mixer, for some reason it was set at around 25% for this game.

So far the only good thing about the game is that the weapons seem to feel good just like they did in latest Wolfenstein. Beside that game feels like a budget clone of BioShock.

This can't be normal. Did you look at the Projector at the beginning? You can't even see what it's projecting cause everything is fucked up. I hope this is not intended and a patch will solve this crap... I mean, look at my fucking screenshot! WTF?!

DONT ALT+TAB in this game. You can got a BSOD with atikmdag.sys! With driver stop responding. I read that in some forums.

Something's wrong on your end. That's how the projection looks on my PC:

 Spoiler:
 


No, it's not. It looks the same for me after I saved this guy and the timeline was altered. But before that, the textures on the projection were fucked up.

*Proof*

See, everything is fine on my side. It's the friggin game.
