The game will hit the shelves in Europe in August, Friday 13th. I've gotten a copy of it to see if it's worth the money. The graphics is quite impressive, even at medium settings (and 800*600 resolution.) I own a 2ghz 512MB RAM, GeForce4 ti 4600, and the only time I notice any drop in performance is when I open doors to new areas. A lag of about a quarter of a second is not worth upgrading for. I'll wait for HL2 until buying a new PC. Some more RAM would help a lot, but the few hick-ups here and there are not enough to detract from the overall experience.
I haven't made up my mind about this game yet. The one thing that I find a tad annoying is the scripted events. It seems every room has a pattern, just like in the original Doom. You step beyond a certain point and the wall opens up behind you with monsters jumping you from behind.
