There's a game due out in 2012 sometime - A myst clone, they say. It's been touted as "The Best Game that will ever be made. Ever."

If you do the bare minimum, there's supposed to be 700 hours of play-time. You won't be able to install it without an NVidia Gforce 200-series or above graphics chip. The thing won't install without a strict minimum of 4 GB of DDR3 ram, and is said to be estimated at a whopping 70 GB of free hard-drive space needed for the install.

A customer told me to look it up the other day, and I forgot the name. I believe it's two words, the first beginning with an "A" and the second word beginning with an "F", but it may be that the first word simply starts with a vowel. I also seem to recall thinking of the first word as someone's name, or very similar to someone's name - Aaron, Erin, etc.

So, anyone heard of this thing?

That sounds like the plot to Aeon Flux.

There's a game due out called Alan Wake but that doesn't fit your description as it is coming out this year instead of 2012 :/

Have you looked through http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:U ... ideo_games to see if it jogs your memory?

It's probably called Fucking Insane, but I could be wrong. After all, I have been before.

I'd assume 4 gb DDR3 to be standard or so by 2012, but that 70 gb part is insane.

The only thing I think of that starts with A and F is Adrian Fraser. Coincidence? Either way, you should hunt the guy (Or girl) down and beat them up till they squeal.

I hope by then we have 8-core processors running at 4GHz.

If this turns out to be Duke Nukem Forever, then I will take back any insults I have made to 3D Realms.

It was Alan Wake and the customer was an idiot.

Fallout: New Vegas maybe? the fallout 3 game was pretty big, maybe the first word was Awesome, but that probably not it.

Alan Wake was indeed the game he was describing, but he quote obviously didn't do his research. Now I'm angry *and* disillusioned.
