Videos and Image Galleries
Since a few images don't really convey a real sense of the game, we've put together some videos and galleries of dialog trees. The latter will show complete conversations that take place in a few areas, and as such they contain spoilers. The videos will focus on showing battles, and again some of these are major spoilers. You can also try the demo to get a taste of the gameplay, but we felt the game improved once you got past the demo/tutorial portion.
Can we talk?
First up is a conversation that occurs right near the end of the demo. It's your first encounter with Tycho and Gabe, providing a taste of things to come.
Next is a conversation with Anne-Claire (a.k.a. Annarchy) that occurs right after the demo ends. You'll chat with her a lot during the course of the game, and while she has some entertaining moments she doesn't hold a candle to the professor of urinology - a man who studies the effects of pee.
Anne-Claire plays a major role in the story telling, as she more or less assigns your missions. Here's the conversations surrounding the first quest.
Anne also does weapon upgrades, and the following gallery shows the conversations that take place for all three initial upgrades.
Coming soon to a theater near you…
These videos focus on the battles, as outside of the conversations (shown above) there's not much to include. The first three are relatively generic battles, the next two show some minor spoilers of things to come, and the final two show two of the three major "boss" battles. Stay away from the final two if you want to avoid spoilers! (Follow the links for additional descriptions.)

Even if there isn't the option to turn off AA in-game, couldn't it be forced off in the graphics driver settings? I've never used IGP solutions, but I'd expect those from nVidia and AMD/ATI have very similar driver settings to those of their discrete graphics-cards.JarredWalton - Monday, June 16, 2008 - link
I'm not sure what others do to get these "forced" settings to work, but I've encountered quite a few games where regardless of what you set in the control panel, you end up with the in-game setting. Assassin's Creed didn't let me enable AA at higher resolutions, and in a quick test just now forcing AA off in Precipice didn't turn it off. Depending on how the AA is being done, it may not be something that the graphics driver handles directly. (Besides, I figure most people with IGP solutions are running Intel stuff, and I don't recall ever seeing the option to manually set AA there.)Houdani - Monday, June 16, 2008 - link

Haw!

Grr.... I swear I had that right too, but I must have switched it without thinking. I've met the two in person up in Seattle before (and I've even got signed PA books to prove it). Anyway, I've fixed the reversal.ImmortalZ - Monday, June 16, 2008 - link
Sorry to say that you are wrong about that.Precipice was released on the scene on May 22nd, 2008.

Except that it apparently doesn't work right, supposedly the game logic of that release was all screwed up making the game play out of order.Anyhow, it's a fun game, but $20 was a bit too much.

Then get the fix :PJarredWalton - Monday, June 16, 2008 - link
I'll leave confirming whether or not the "fix" works to others... at least some of the comments I've seen indicate it still has issues, and besides I'm not in support of piracy.ViRGE - Tuesday, June 17, 2008 - link
Judging from the people complaining in the usual places, it sounds like the fix doesn't work. So no, it hasn't been completely and correctly cracked from the looks of things.
