This makes it look like I may have to pick it up. How much emphasis is there on shooting, are there any major mechanics other than shooting and can shooting be avoided entirely in the easier difficulties?

I am the night...I am...
theres LOTs of shooting. LOTs. with a different kind of mechanic.

and dont quote the pics.. :)

This game has received wide spread acclaim like far cry 3. Lets see if i can get my hands on one.
You playing in 1080p? How much frames are you getting mate?

nope thats 1600x900 with all gfx effects on high. only shadow resolution is Normal.

i have Dynamic VSync to 50Hz through Radeon Pro and it never comes down below 50. so it is giving >50 all the time.

what does bloom thing do in the game ?

is a post processing effect. it provides a kind of diffused glow around light sources and reflecting surfaces... kind of like a dreamy feel. and since BI is up in the clouds, the effect is over done.

I hate bloom... so i removed it. plus removing it boosts FPS a lot cos its calculation heavy.

Looks real good. :)

yep.. its a real looker without the damn bloom.. but in your 7870CF, i bet it'd be stunning with ultra effects. :)

Bloom effect was not that bad in this game, but turning it off does help in boosting frames.

Yeah and right now the most powerful GOTY contender with Tomb Raider in competition. :)

almost 0 stealth. either you fight or you flee. choice is yours. and as there is not much cover, you'll have to shoot anything that comes your way. including lot of boss fights.

I see. Does fleeing affect the stories outcome? How tight are the movement and controls? To me it looks like it would be somewhere between Alan Wake and Dead Rising. And more importantly, do the guns give you a feeling of power? I don't expect any 'BFG, hell yeah' moments but at least it should give some feeling of power.

the story for both are awesome...
gameplay is excellent for both.. but TR is a bit ahead due to its non-standard, new kind of gameplay.
graphics.. well IMO, TR is leaps ahead of BI.

i'll be rooting for TR! :)

you CANNOT flee. fights are necessary for story progress.
guns dont give you that but its the combo with the Plasmids that give you that Power feeling.. ;) so you need effective strategy to plan out your moves and combos.

most of the time you are forced to fight. or you can hook up to the rail and just run away but that doesn't help much. you may miss out on salts and tonics (or whatever they are called). so once an area is clear of enemies, quickly find all unlockable places and then shift to the next one else enemies may start spawning again. controls are just spot on and for movement, check a couple of youtube gameplay videos.

alan wake is a survival horror. this one is straight forward action + adventure (if you like to find all hidden salts in that level). guns looks fine but most of them show their weakness once the more hardcore enemies arrive (handyman & mechanized patriot). upgrading helps and most importantly, using Elizabeth's power is essential for survival. this game may looks like run of the mill "run-n-gun" type but it is not.

None of the Bioshock games were Run-n-Gun, for some enemies you have to make strategy how to trap them so they don't give you much trouble. :)
