Only two days until B&W slaw! Err..probabaly. Anyhow, one thing Lionhead have been quiet about is system specs. Will it run well on my Athlon 600 /w 128? If is doesnt, I may kill myself.
Oh, and here are some review shorts from Planet B&W.

Aaarrrgh! Une version un peu plus finalisée et le jeu aurait eu 19. Nous suivrons le mode Multi de très près. Une réussite, en tout cas.

Translation: Aaaargh! A version a bit more finished and the game would have had 19. We will follow the dev of the multiplayer mode very carefully. A success, anyway.

Sorry about the looooong post :)

what are the system req?

i'll only like it if its D3d hey mori!!!!
eheheheh

Well It Ships Today (Monday) , Meaning release SHOULD be tomorrow! Let's Hope EB Get Their Fingers Out And Get This Little f***er on the shelves!!

w00t! And boxhead - lol. Hows that going?

someone give me the eb webpage.

Http://www.ebgames.com

I just read that the Europe/Aus release date is proabaly the 30th! AhhHH!

Specifications For Black And White:
Windows 95/98/2000/ME; 350 MHz Intel Pentium II MMX processor; 64Mb RAM; DirectX 7.0a (supplied with CD); DirectX; 7.0a compliant sound card; (PCI/AGP) 8Mb 3D Hardware Accelerator Card with Direct3D support; 600 Mb free hard disk space; 4x CD-ROM drive (Refers to a 4 speed CD-ROM drive); Internet features require TCP/IP Internet connection at 56Kbps or faster, or Internet access via LAN (Local Area Network)

Somone wanted it on some thread!
At EB we have the 30th Down , But we recieved a phonecall saying that it may come in earlier.

sweet, thanks Cezar. You work at EB? Can you get me a job? j/k Seriously though, that does make me feel better. If those specs are not too overly optimistic, it should run fine on mine in relatively high detail. Thanks.

Yeah lets hope these are going to be real though , i mean look at the frigging game, i think these req's are inm no way going to be true , it may run , but like a dog with no legs

Yeah. Remember the min specs for Quake 1 were a DX66, lol. Oh, and whoever gets the game first has to post their impressions on this forum :)

A dog with no legs would be pretty funny actually. You could throw a stick for it, then roll the dog down the hill after it, "Fetch Boy!".

Taking it for walks would be kinda hard though, you'd have to stick the dog on a trolley and pull it around after you.

what do you call a dog with no legs?

Cigarette...

because every night, you take it out for a drag, ahahaha, aha, haah.

LMAO

Trog you should of said that at QGL

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAA

*sigh*

Trog, you weren't wearing your gay hanky this time :P

hmm my 300a doesnt look to healthy :(

maybe have to get a athlon =)

Hoorah...i got it going mori.. freakin opengl

I have to call my dog with no legs "Einys Penis" coz the dog's not the only thing that drags along the ground

Sif the 14th isnt going to be a total Black and White network slaw. Yay!

actually leeched watched a black and white mpeg at qgl on the weekend

looks pretty damn slick

i'm actually contemplating playing it uber amounts =)

Sites and Peter Molyanuex himself have recommended about a pentium 500-600 with 128mb RAM. So you should do fine.

The soonest we are going to get it is probably the 30th. Which is a Friday so thats good :)

I reckon there will be a world of difference if you were to have 256 meg of RAM, actually. :)

Tell us another one, trog!

And sif you'd be playing B + W, when it's CPLP time? :P

f***en - where's Evil Islands, too?
