I have noticed that occasionally the shaders/textures take a split second to load-in on an object after the game has loaded ...

I have read that this is a feature of the Unreal3 engine, "streaming textures", and is not a bug, one of the benefits being it makes loading times shorter.

I liked the way that the areas that you went into had one great level to them, broken up only by doors and stairs, and elevators, just like real life. The loading times were few and far between. Good stuff.

Between the activation issues, SecuROM, tallscreen support, and a walk/run key...

You make it sound like tallscreen support is a BAD thing.


Don't be hating on the positive aspects of the game!

Carry on...

No, not weird at all. If you are using a larger FOV, your graphics card has to work harder, higher loads tend to slow things like framerate down, and probably makes the texture popping more noticible.

Which is probably the true reason for the vert- with this game ... optimizing for the 360 ... and I think they just thought no one would notice ...
On top of that "seems" the games engine is by default vert- ... http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/node/8056t=0

I heard the interview with 2k games on the latest PC Gamer podcast.

It's hard to believe I like the game so much and at the same time hearing its creator talk makes me wanna slap people...

Reading Kevin's interview made me happy I never bought System Shock series.

Aesthetic reasons my ass.

Take that back!

The System Shock series is as good as gaming gets, my personal favourite of all time.
