Game developers are weird.
LOL irony!

I will try my best to get back to you on the FPS, ill try to get the complicated scenes in there as well.
Cool, thanks. We have similar cards, so if it's running okay for you it's either only a demo issue or something is wrong with my setup.

This is true, but I think it's part of a trend we have been getting with PC games in general. It really seems like every game coming out these days has a bloated engine, regardless of whether or not it's a console port.
In this case, they could have used exactly the same engine as Chaos Theory and it would still have been one of the best looking games out, but they had to go and screw it up.
Yes its been like this for the past year or so. FEAR is a good example, it is a stunning looking game when looking in the right direction, but i dont think it justifies the awfull performance on at the time the most powerfull cards! I cant get it to run very well @ 16000 x 1200 on a 512MB X1800XT. I paid £375 for it at launch, its hardly a mainstream price and thus the reason i paid the money; so i could game at high resolution. GRAW was another engine that was bloated to $hit! Although i thoroughly enjoyed its single play campaign and i did get it to run at a decent 40fps with a little tweaking, so i am going to forgive it for this becuase it was a true PC game at heart and played like one. I dont belive in playing games with crap performance with cheap console gameplay.
We should take our hats off to Valve for coding an excellent game powered by a well optimized engine. I just hope there is enough interest (at least in the west) to develop great PC only titles. I do belive the eastern europeans are more intrested in developing for PC only, especially in places like Russia. Although most of the titles are extremely amateur.
I am a bit of a PC snob, but i like my hardcore gameplay. Ive been into FPS games for 10 years, using the mouse is second nature and something feels painfully wrong when using the pad to aim, its like trying to drive a car with the sticks they use in tanks! Anyway this is not the point of my post.
Console games are fine on consoles, but they dont belong on PC.
