The game is optimized pretty well. Definitely nowhere near as bad as GTA IV was.

Theres a built-in benchmark option as well. Maxed out settings with AA on (no value option, just ON or OFF) and PhysX at MEDIUM gave me 50fps average at 1680x1050. Game runs really well. Smooth performance throughout

The combat is fantastic. Animations are really good. Behind cover when you're getting shot at, the facial and body animations kinda reminded me of Uncharted. They're not in one static position. The PhysX effects are really cool. The cloth movement adds a nice realistic touch to the overall presentation. The particl/smoke effects are quite noticeable as well. I personally love the lighting engine in the game. Highly polished game. Character models are very detailed, even more so in cut-scenes and voice acting is top notch. Car handling takes a little getting used to on Simulation mode. You are given 10mins to roam in the open world before getting to the objective mark. And yes, the magazine covers scattered about are 18+ so please play this game alone.

Very pleased with the demo overall. Can't wait for the final game. Will be posting screenshots soon.

Would you say the requirements are exaggerated Necro? I mean you have a C2D and a single GPU but you`re still getting 50 frames/s. Whereas the required ones are insane to say the least.
CAN'T WAIT TO TRY IT OUT!!

Played the demo Fps was good too. i got 35 avg at 8x AF and AA on at 1440*900. The gameplay is excellent.

And just as i started the game, pressed e at a random position (to attend phone call) and what i see is a nude girl's pic o_0

Hope it performs well on ATI cards.

 

[MrJayPlays]

^ yes it will
Allright just set to optimal settings on 1600X 1200 im getting now ..55+ FPS
i think that power house option when switched off makes an impact i.e PHYX

My system is heavily overclocked. Then the resolution comes into the equation as well. The APEX PhysX take a huge hit on performance. Having a dedicated card would no doubt boost the performance alot.
