Call of Cthulhu:DCotE (PC) ships March 27th in US/March 23 in EU...

Finally it comes to the PC! I have been waiting for this for years! I can only hope they have tweaked it a bit from the xbox version. Still, I love Lovecraft and FPSs, so this one should be pretty fun from what I have read.

Bethesda Press release.

I'd completely forgotten about this, wonder if it's any good...

 

[Unfocused]

I was waiting for this game like 2 years ago and nearly forgot about it. Lovecraft rocks.

 

[BabyHeadCrab]

I'll check it out, read alot of reviews and never actually bought it.

 

[Icarusintel]

doesn;t it use the Morrowind engine?

doesn;t it use the Morrowind engine?

Thats what I remember reading. Highly modified however.

Curious what its gonna be like.

Meh morrowind engine isn't anything special, Source engine would seem to have been a better choice :|

 

[Cole]

Better be highly modified morrowind engine, otherwise it's a pretty piss poor engine(Yes the morrowinds rendering engine is completely piss poor).

you must forget the game's been in development for at least 4 years now

 

[AiM]

I'm guessing the majority of the work spent on modifying the game probably would've already been handled on default by the Source engine, guess if they waited a year or two they would've had a much better engine to work with. Oh well, let's hope they changed the Morrowind engine drastically since playing it now, it's not all that great.

:/

Well, the reviews for the xbox version have been pretty decent if not stellar, but its nice to hear that "Its not been massively enhanced, however the texture fidelity does look higher on the PC version. A number of bug fixes were included as well." <--That from a developer on the Cthulhu forums.

So it should be better than the console version, but still may suffer from the long dev time. Here's to hoping that at least one of the next 5 or so Cthulhu titles in development is incredibly awesome! :thumbs:

Yes, with a few minor enhancements and bug-fixes. We'll see if it was worth the wait....
