well, Black and White has achieved quite crossed opinions on PC - some say it is very good, and some say it isn\'t.

Personally I think it is good ( well, I haven\'t played it, but I suspect it is ) - but many must be disappointed for it not living up to the hype it has created. I expected it, and those who say it\'s a good game after all expected it too, I quess. And of course it isn\'t a game for everybody.

It has been said that people who like god-games, like populous, will love Black and White, so that should make me one B&W fan ;)

I think I\'ll buy this game when it comes out... I think it\'ll come to Finland for Chirstmas...

it is still undetermined if it will come with or without on-line play so keep your fingers crossed, the reason why i dont really buy PC ganes is cause i have a really sh*ty video card and to much slowdown, so what do you think of it ?

Christmas?! Nah, it should be out now. It is here in Denmark anyway, so I can\'t see why it should take so long to get to Finland. :)

I\'ve been playing it today - seemed pretty good, but you have to be a bit patient...

I\'m playing it on a 466 MHz Celeron with 64 mb RAM and a Voodoo 3. It could be better, but it could be a lot worse too. And you have 128 megs of RAM and a TNT2... I say it should be run ok, at least while not on the higest detail level and 1600x1200. :)

IMO, If you want B&W to run smoothly you need AT LEAST:

-600mhz
-128mb RAM
-32 mb Graphics Card(Preferably AGP)
-32x CD Drive

My friend has that and it runs smooth as phock. I have a tricked out system so it purrs like a damn kitten.

If its  a PC port of the game it won\'t look as good, if its re-coded form the floor up it could look as good or better.


PC has much easier texture capabilities so naturally the 1st place the game will suffer is there

The fact its planned for this fall screams straight port, and my recommendations is buy it on the PC.

As soon as I upgrade my processor and my video board I\'ll play it on my PC


or If XBox gets a version of Black  and White early in its life I\'d play it there probably since a PC port on XBox would more than likely look better then the PC version and more than likely maintain its online capabilities

I read in PCGamer that Lionhead will soon begin working on games exclusively for the console.  But that issue is a year old now and I was wondering if the plans have changed or not?

Sorry bud, I think it wouldn\'t run too well on that system. Perhaps if you had a better video card, but unfortunately PC games nowadays are demanding. (then again they always have been) ... I\'m running it on this system;

athlon t-bird 1ghz
256mb ram
geforce 2 gts/pro


and it still gets jerky @ times.. I\'m really picky about framerates and it can be annoying. (though I\'m playing @ 1024x768x32 with every detail on/maxxed)

This game (if it\'s your type of game) is a great one. If you have a decent PC by today\'s standards then I urge you to give it a shot. You can always purchase it @ EB so if you don\'t like it, you can return it. The AI alone is totally amazing. I think (as usual) the textures would be hurting on the PS2 version.. though it will do everything else just fine. Lastly, the shots they showed of the DC version (@ GameSpot) looked kinda bland.. and the textures weren\'t that great, which is a strength of the DC.
