Someone please edit that post above to remove the possible spoiler.

IGN has several storyline spoilers, along with several puzzle spoilers and how to solve them. Most however seem to be spoiling only the beginning of the game, but there is a major one about a charecter you will 'meet'.

Adrenaline vault has several spoilers once again; the same basic puzzle solutions from above, and referring to the same person you 'meet'. You get a very good description of the beginning environment, but it also spoils when you meet your first enemy.

Gamevortex is hardly worth a read. No spoilers, but it doesn't really tell you anything about black plague. He rambles on and on about the physics, and how they relate to Tresspasser; but other than that and 2 sentences saying "Game is great, great atmosphere, buy buy buy" you don't learn anything about it.



But even with the spoilers, they're a great read. Spoiler contains 3 new pictures found in GameCaptain.

Spoiler below!

Thank you WindexGlow for spoiler warning

From Adrenaline Vault...

Minimum Requirements: 1 GHz processor; 256 MB RAM; Radeon 8500 or GeForce 3 (GeForce4 MX not supported); Windows 2000 or XP
Genre: Survival horror
Release Date: March 31, 2008

I'm gonna assume Linux is supported too? As for the release date, is this pretty much certain now?

[WindexGlow]

At first, only windows was supported on overture's launch. However, they did have plans on getting Overture onto other systems; linux and mac now have Overture. So expect the same trend. You might not be able to play it for the first few weeks (I can send you PMs telling my joy in playing it though :-D). A fictional dev can help you out much more than I can.

[Klayman]

"GeForce4 MX not supported" Does this mean that it will not run on my GeForce 9200? I dont understand modern hardware names very well .

[Yuhaney]

If Overture worked with it, then this works too.

[Mr Jack]

If Overture worked with it, then this works too.

... even better in fact. And I think you were talking about Radeon 9200 up there, since g-force 9 series don't yet exist as far as I know.

[Yuhaney]

Oh, yeah! You're right.

By the way, from the first picture that WindexGlow have posted...

Spoiler below!

...I think that he gets up in that point and starts to find where you are. (Like he tries to find you in the Teaser)
