    yea, however the thing I am most happy about is it's an RPG with amazing graphics, most of the best graphics come from FPS and racing games.

    Now the question that matters is...will my laptop run this? lol

    I think this is the first time I've seen a game that was to be on consoles and PCs become PC exclusive. Usually its now PC exclusives also winding up on consoles due to their much larger userbase. They would have made much more money having the game on the Xbox 360 and PC but as a PC gamer and fanboy, I'm happy. :)

    Since Intel bought the company, it should run on integrated GPU then, right? lol

    With those particle effects, it is far more likely that this is intended for Larrabee. That would also explain why Intel would buy a game company and why they would make the game PC-exclusive: they don't care about it making money, its purpose is to show off what their new GPU can do.

    If that's the case, then we aren't going to see this game actually released for some time yet.

    True, but something about PO makes it look vastly superior. I just showed one of my friends who only has a console. And hes like, "I HAVE TO HAVE THAT GAME!" and I went on about how good it looks and then I told him.

    "Its on PS3/Xbox360/PC... But since intel bought it now, its only PC Exclusive".

    And hes like "I hate you!"

    lol. Im so cruel.
