I really should re-download HL2 seeing that I have my whole new PC now and the fact that I bought it over Steam.

[RAY16]

Last batch of high-res stuff, I've tried enough games to know how awesome 2048x1536 gaming is, but it's time for me to drop down to 1600x1200 (and lower, depending on the game).

The first Condemned shot is a weird resolution because I cropped off the letterboxes and scaled it down. The other shots are 1920x1200 because Fraps apparently can't take shots at 2048x1536, so it takes 1920x1200 shots and anything outside of that area gets cut off.

I'm very impressed. I'm only 30 minutes in, but I'm very impressed. I dreamt about it (I went to bed at 5, only 5 minutes after I stopped playing it) and I woke up this morning and couldn't believe I was playing it. I honestly had doubts that it seriously existed. But it does, and it is good.

Not as good as promised, but still easily good.

Very nice graphics but OK gameplay :( and running is pretty fast

I wanna plaay!

[Dark_Swordmaster]

The atmosphere is great. One thing that makes me the happiest about the atmosphere is that the gunfights are real. They're not HL2's jump in and blow 'em away type thing, or anything Hollywood. You sit behind cover, peak out, takes shots, and the baddies do the same thing. When you're alone in a firefight it's a matter of finding good cover, shooting, advancing, and good times.



But when you're with buddies it's great. They don't last long, but they help out a ton. They're smart enough to flank with you (or for you), and they know how to approach a situation.



This one time (this game is going to be a story generator, I can tell already!) I arrived at this little outpost (the one you first liberate in the story if you know it) and showed up just before some bandits did. So I hear the outside lookout yell and fire a few shots, so the other two stalkers and myself draw out guns and head out to some defensive positions. We exchange shots with them, picking them off as they occasionally pop out from behind the trees. A few of them made it far enough over to come down the hill into the camp, so we shoot the one that pops up behind our truck, then promptly get shot from the second story of the building we were by. Well, the guy I was taking cover with heads over towards the building, but passes by the ladder (I don't know if they can use them, but I pray they can) and turns the corner. I go up the ladder, trying to get up to the second story and kill the guy up there. The room I come up into is empty, so I go through the door to the next room, and there he is at the top of the stairs, facing me, ready to shoot. All of a sudden, before either of us even get a shot off he flies to his right, bashing into the wall and slumping to the ground. I go to where he was standing, look down the stairs, and see my buddy putting away his gun and walking off.



This game owns so fuckin' hard!



Sadly one thing is that friends don't last. You'll do them a favor (give 'em a medkit, help 'em out) and come back a short time later to find them lying face down in a pool of their own blood. Also the AI's movement overtakes your own. That is to say: I'm taking cover, peaking around a corner, popping off shots, and then an AI buddy starts running into me, SHOVING ME OUT INTO THE OPEN. It's an annoyance that can mostly be overlooked, but in tight quarters it's real bad news.





The only music in the game is when they pull their guitars (out of their asses) and play around a fire. It's really good listening, but watching it is another story. They kinda fret with their palm, placing their fingers 2-3 inches higher than the fretboard.



I'm playing the game on novice (easiest difficulty) but I'm probably going to bump it up. As much as I like taking out 15 bandits single handedly, it's unlikely to really happen.

[dimsum411]

ass guitars?? sweet.

[tisl]

Thanks for the impressions. I only have 23h until I'm allowed to buy the game, and then there's the delivery time. Fucking hell, I can't wait.

[Dark_Swordmaster]

My delivery time was only 6 hours within placing my order.

[tisl]

Lucky for you. As a plebeian you do not have a waiting time. Us nobles have to wait, unless we contribute to other nobles with delivery. I suppose I could accept delivery from a plebeian source, but that would not be very noble of me.

[Digital Limit]

Whoa, what system is this for?

:p

[Dark_Swordmaster]

I think it's for a Amiga, but don't quote me, I could be wrong.

[tisl]

Just read the Gspot review. I am so happy. It's been a very long time since a hyped game has delivered. http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/stalker/review.html?sid=6167650

[No Soul]

I demand high-res widescreen pics of: Poltergeist, an animal (or person) exploding into chunks because of an anomaly, and the OMGWTF sky. If my conditions aren't met, I will begin punting 2 of every animal, if they're too big, they shall be catapulted towards pre-schools.


Side question: How many bullets on average does it take to kill a person, while playing on Novice?

[Dark_Swordmaster]

Very many. People don't go down without several shots to the gut (or a headshot), fortunately neither do you.


I haven't seen a poltergeist (yet my encyclopedia has their entry, despite not having one for bloodsuckers, of which I've run into 5 and killed 2), and animals avoid anomolies. I'd have to lure someone into one (which I did accidentally) and that's harder than it sounds.

[tisl]

What the hell happened in that sequence?

[Jwr5]

What is the story like?

[Dark_Swordmaster]

It's dogs getting caught in a whirlwind and exploding.



The story's pretty basic.

You wake up with amnesia and have one goal: "Kill Strelok". You then have to figure out who you actually are and so on and so forth.

However it's biggest story is those generated by the player. Such as my following three. It's a big read, get a snack.


This one time (this game is going to be a story generator, I can tell already!) I arrived at this little outpost (the one you first liberate in the story if you know it) and showed up just before some bandits did. So I hear the outside lookout yell and fire a few shots, so the other two stalkers and myself draw out guns and head out to some defensive positions. We exchange shots with them, picking them off as they occasionally pop out from behind the trees. A few of them made it far enough over to come down the hill into the camp, so we shoot the one that pops up behind our truck, then promptly get shot from the second story of the building we were by. Well, the guy I was taking cover with heads over towards the building, but passes by the ladder (I don't know if they can use them, but I pray they can) and turns the corner. I go up the ladder, trying to get up to the second story and kill the guy up there. The room I come up into is empty, so I go through the door to the next room, and there he is at the top of the stairs, facing me, ready to shoot. All of a sudden, before either of us even get a shot off he flies to his right, bashing into the wall and slumping to the ground. I go to where he was standing, look down the stairs, and see my buddy putting away his gun and walking off.


However, I had to infiltrate a military base and steal some files, and that didn't turn out so well. I got up on the hill overlooking it and just took a look around. Next thing I know the alarm's going off and the base is suddenly pouring out to come find me. I spent a good while popping them from a distance. I finally get to a point where I can move up to the main gate, and I move past a guy I didn't kill but wounded. All of a sudden I hear barking behind me and turn around to see a pseudodog chop on the dying guy, then turn to me. I started opening fire and hear the guy on the other side of the wall do the same. The dog drops and I continue on my way, eventually getting what I need. Then I bugger off and have to make it all the way back out. Well I started going over the hill when I get shot at, so I retreat back a little and pop back out the kill whoever it is. Only when I look back I catch him exploding after getting caught in an anomoly. After that I just had to dash from tree to tree, avoiding guards along the way. I find it hard to avoid them when the lighting effect from their headlamps is so incredibly beautiful, but I do it regardless. I see a roadblock at the exit so I try to go around it by going up a hill and into some woods. I didn't even see the pack of dogs there. So I'm shooting madly all over my feet trying to kill these dogs, while the roadblock doesn't even notice. I guess I lucked out because after I was done with the dogs they just kept looking. Finally snuck back down, out, fought some bandits, and made it home, but it was a helluvan ordeal to make it back in one piece.


I was given a mission to protect a friendly camp from a bandit attack at the Arma-something-or-other Lab. So I headed that direction (I needed to kill someone over there anyway) and hear gunfire already. So I burst into a sprint and run in there, go up a ladder, up another ladder, and from my vantage point I see my buddies halfway in a building, halfway on the fire escape leading out of it. There are military buggers all over the courtyard below them, so I just start carefully taking pot shots before they notice me. I then noticed I'm getting shot from my left, so I turn to my left and take aim at the guy shooting me. Only to see a weird blur by him turn into a bloodsucker (the guys with weird tenticle mouths) and attack him. He retreats back into the doorway he's standing in but he only gets two steps back before falling over. The bloodsucker turns invisible again and takes off, hopping over the railing of the stairwell before I lose it. I turn my attention back to the remaining military guys and finish them off. I then do a slight sweep of the area on the ground before hopping down to some lower roofs, then to the ground. I find one of my buddies on the ground bleeding out so I give him a medikit and everything's all right. We go up the stairs and into the building, meeting up with another stalker from the group. After taking a look out the windows I make my way outside and climb a ladder up to the top of the building. I cross some rooftops to the other side of the compound and hear gunfire. I pull out my binoculars and see a bunch of bandits fighting with a bunch of dogs. Suddenly I notice the invisible bloodsucker joining the fray. I wait until he kills most of the bandits then hop down there and run out into the open field, attempting to lure him out. It works and he runs after me, and due to his previous fight he's weakened enough that I just shoot him a few times and he's down. Awesome! I go on out and kill the stalker I was supposed to kill, then decide to go back to the lab. I head back inside, go up the stairs, and just as I'm entering the room with my buddies I hear a horrible scream behind me. I whirl around just to get a facefull of bloodsucker fist. I gun him down with my buddies and take a moment to recover. After deciding to head back home I get to the main gate to find two more of my buddies repelling some bandits from the front. They pose no trouble and we killed them incredibly quickly. Then, as I'm walking out, a third bloodsucker attacks and I have to gun it down too. But after that it was smooth sailing, minus the other bandits, dogs, fleshes, and the occasional anomaly.


I was crossing the bridge near the starting camp and I hear this barking and squealing to my left, so I turned and saw a flesh chasing a dog in circles. I was amused for 5 minutes or so.

[Digital Pimp]

I may go pick this up later this week, I'm waiting to hear how it fairs on the 8800 architecture due to other games having wierd problems with the 8800 series.

[MrBored]

My friend has a 8800GTX and he hasn't complained.

[No Soul]

Playing on veteran and I have to say it's kind of easy, but it seems the AI slightly cheats. Case and point: I was going to the military area right under the destroyed train bridge after finding the electric tunnel. It was night and I at least wanted to get the first shot off, so I hugged the mini white wall while crouching. Well before I even reached the bush at the end, bullets start cutting the edge of the mini-wall. I backed off, and within seconds, one NPC was hovering over me...boom headshot and I'm dead. There was something similar when I was heading to Garbage and I saw a bandit patrol going south way off the road. I wouldn't have seen them if it wasn't for the flashlights. There was about 6, I didn't even want to try taking them so I pushed against the barbed fence slightly west off the road. While avoiding crouching and avoiding bushes, they still managed to see me (the first time I used the flashlight was in the first underground bunker, later on). Another interesting point is that when you try to slit their throat from behind, you could only get within a little more than 5m before they instantly turn around. One last thing, this might be more of my luck, but when I was having a stand-off with one bandit NPC, he stood behind a huge rock while I was behind a tree and brush (also there's a bug with the AI here, I could pick them off and they wouldn't return fire, but they would close in). After shooting a couple of shoots, I quickly went into inventory and changed guns. As soon as I get out of inventory BAM! Dead. Shot within meters, he appeared next to me, as if regularly checking the bush for enemies.

So I picked it up, requires a much more subdued form to encounters, no run and gun here, at least not in the beginning. I'm loving it so far though. This is a game that has lived up to the hype and was great on delivery even though it was delayed 3 years, no Daikatana Syndrome with this one.

[tisl]

This fight was a real kick in the teeth. The second time I passed by the compound after the initial story fight I heard gunfire, so I was like "Eh, I'm in the mood for a firefight." They ended up being some tough army guys, not like the pussies under the bridge in the starter area. I'm must've gone through 8 medkits and a bunch of bandages during that fight.

[Ahriman]

So it's actually good? Wow, I might have to pick it up, wait, does it have high requirements? My system is old and crappy. Let's put it this way, if I can run Oblivion on medium-high at about 30fps, could I run this?

[tisl]

Uh, look at the screenshots. Not exactly 'cutting edge'. It's just somewhat poorly optimized, but with a bit of tweaking it will run fine.

[MrBored]

It runs badly for how it looks (the player models especially look shit due to the lack or misuse of normal maps). If I turn off SLI on my 7950GX2 its very sluggish, which is scary.

[King Of Nothing]

I was accually gonna make a wall of corpses and write "This is Chernobylllll!!!!" but then I noticed I wouldn't worth the effort. But go that instead

Bodom, you'd fit in Second Life really well.

What is Second life?

Also very nice music tastes. Have you heard the new Therion album? It's a work of art.

[tisl]

I can't really explain Second Life in a meaningful way. It's an endless area where people build things with a flexible scripting language and total freedom. Whatever comes to mind, it probably exists. From a recreation of a Roman city to pedophile rape. I just saw that Alyx picture and reached my conclusion about you fitting in. For example, I dressed up as Snoopy and sat on some naked guy's cock at a nude beach while he kept telling me that I'm rude and will be reported. http://secondlife.com

I haven't picked up Therion's new album. It's one of those things I keep forgetting to do. I'm not into their older stuff, so I don't think about them a lot. I just wrote it down clearly, though. I took a look at your Last.fm and I respect your taste in music enough to take your claim about their new album seriously. You should try Ensiferum's new album. Don't forget the bonus track, Lady In Black. They really pulled it off this time.

[Shifty_Man]

geez bodom, the screen of the guy with the gun (2nd pic) is sooo frickin awesome. What other awesome screens might you behold?

I love new Ensiferum. With Petri from Norther on vocals, it is the own.

Good shit, but weird optimization. It runs great on high and a 3km view distance until I run into forests. I don't know how they let the Tree Designer use such high-poly trees. So I just turned everything down.

Get the patch so you can get to the first underground level. They took out the vehicle mod and don't bother adding it back in (unless you merge), if you do you won't see any of the reactiviated creatures.

Also GSC is adding in a free-roaming mode to Stalker in their next patch, unknown release date.

Stalker looks so much better with that Doom 3 lighting effect. Too bad I don't think my computer can handle it.

Didn't know you got geometry wars for PC

No online leaderboards on the PC version, unfortunately. But I'm having a lot of fun trying to beat my own high scores. Well worth the $2.50 I spent on it.

Runs really well, too. I average 65-70FPS at 1920x1440, with dips down to the 40's when there are 4+ gravity wells on the screen at the same time.

[MrBored]

[RAY16]

How do you play without analogue sticks? In particular, how do you change the direction you're shooting?

I have dual analog sticks, I use a Controller-S.

Controller-S + Adapter + XBCD drivers = fucking win.

Of course, the game is also compatible with the Xbox 360 controller (auto-configured if you use Microsoft's drivers, or config it yourself if you use XBCD). There's also control options for a Joystick, and keyboard/mouse controls.

[MrBored]

Ok, cool.

[Dark_Swordmaster]

According to him it's very playable on keyboard.

However I just don't see that being possible after watching the INSANE video he showed me. They SPAWNED filling the screen. They just popped in and covered the entire grid...

It's a bit trendy to have a blurry full screen bloom effect in games these days. Most developers have no idea how to properly utilize bloom, so they just slather the entire fucking screen with it.

Haha fortune that comic was awesome, got my point across exactly hehe.

And its so true... Things like Rainbow Six Vegas could have looked so much cooler if they sharpened everything up like RoboBlitz, instead of the hazy brown dust glow.

[Digital Limit]

Anyone buy RoboBlitz? The demo didn't do anything for me.

[Dark_Swordmaster]

No, it didn't do much for most people. It's nifty, but it probably should have been freeware.

1) Unbelievably Short
2) Unbelievably Frustrating

Made this while using an old GPU after my "good" one broke.
I basically made a trailer for the bus and duplicated it over and over. Physics sandbox games are fun for a while but can get boring.

Also I agree about Vegas, they could have done alot of things better.

[MrBored]

I thought Vegas looked like sex.

[Th3 ProphetMan]

Even though it's the same engine (UE3), Unreal Tournament 3 should look better than Vegas + Gears + ( Roboblitz X 10 ).. Or so. And then Crysis will look even a bit better.. :)

[Fortune Hunter]

All in all the Unreal 3 Engine is great, BUT they need to do something about that damn server side hit detection.

I tried playing Gears and couldn't do it, because of the bullet lag.

The Sims is actually a pretty neat game because you can pause the game and build a tiny wall around your Sims if they're in the yard and they'll piss in their miserable little prison, cry, try to sleep but can't, and then starve to death. You can also put them in a swimming pool and delete the ladder and they'll eventually drown.

Thats the only good thing about the Sims. too bad u cant infect ur sim with VD and then spread it around.

[Fortune Hunter]

About the only fun I ever had was to put a bathtub in the middle of the empty lot, put a sim in that bathtub, actually standing and pretending to be piloting a boat (it was fucked up), and then dig I giant ditch around the bathtub...

like the opposite of the closet prison, but same effect

I need to "find my copy" again. I didn't know it was moddable.

[RAY16]

I may be getting a wheel soon. I'd like to get a G25, but that's a tad expensive so I'll have to settle for a MOMO if I do end up getting one.

[tisl]

G25 is awesome (but I don't have moneys to get it). Just make sure you have room, it's seriously lots of shit. Oh, nevermind. MOMO, right.

[RAY16]

I'm sure the G25 is like sex in steering wheel form, but I'll have to do with the MOMO. It should be good enough considering I'm not a hardcore sim buff.

[No Soul]

The G25 has been great so far except: for setting it up and the lack of games that completely support the manual positions (right now a lot of them are still "up and down", using the manual setting is pointless so I leave it on auto to shift "up and down" on manual cars).

And the clutch still isn't used realistically, some games have the clutch feature, that's great, but you can actually 'stall' on only a few games. Most of the times clutch pedal isn't used.

[Phobo]

This is really fucking weird considering I was just going to post about my G25, maybe I'll do it in another thread.

<clerick> ugh leet
<RAY16> I was just on a server with the most annoying person I've ever come accross in my entire gaming lige.
<RAY16> Er, life.
<RAY16> A person who claimed to be female (but was most likely a hairy 45-year old man) joined the server and started telling people not to kill her.
<RAY16> She kept warning people that killed her that she would get them banned if they didn't stop.
<RAY16> Now, call me crazy, but if you join a Deathmatch one would assume that you go into with the intention of shooting at things and being shot at.
<RAY16> Requesting that people do the opposite is utter lunacy.
<RAY16> And then threatening to ban them because they don't obey your stupidity is downright bitchass behaviour.
<RAY16> And she didn't even have ban powers! After the initial threats it stopped being "OMG STOP OR I WILL BAN U!" it was "OMG STOP OR I WILL GIT U BANED!".
<RAY16> And then after about 15 minutes of me mocking the shit out of her stupid ass she calms down a little, but then starts acting all serious. "I'm spectacting you.", "I'm watching you." as if I'm cheating.
<RAY16> This person made no sense at all, she was the anti-sense.
<RAY16> The worst part is that she claimed to be 21-years old.
<RAY16> One year older than me, yet somehow can't write proper english and throws temper tantrums like a spoiled child.
<RAY16> I... need something to drink.
* RAY16 grumbles and gets some drinkage

<RAY16> The fact that people so stupid exist just irks me.
<alpha_y2k> yeah lol
<alpha_y2k> it gets worse every yr too
<RAY16> It boggles my mind, and when my mind is boggled it makes me want to destroy humanity with my rage.

what system are u running the demo on, whats the fps your getting?

[SuperDavidGT]

AM2 4600+
nForce 4
2 gig DDR2
7600GT XXX

frames were about 30-40 average, running almost everything high detail at 1440x900. Got choppy in some areas, but only rarely.

Yeah, I took those shots with the latest version of Fraps. FPS counter and everything else worked fine for me.

what system are u running the demo on, whats the fps your getting?

Athlon XP 2500+ @ 2.13Ghz, 6600GT @ 570 Core / 1050 Mem, 768MB RAM.

It's sluggish but playable at 1024x768 with 8xAF. I took those shots at 1600x1200 specifically for online posting purposes (average frame rate was 7FPS in the 1600x1200 shots).

[Mechanerd]

Yeah i've been wanting bio shock for a fucking long time. and if need be I may very well go out and buy new pc parts -just- for this game too.
My current 4200 amd duel core, 7950gt, 2g ram should be ok, though i'm gonna assume the more 'complicated' parts of the game are gonna suck performance wise.
Leading up to my craving for a new fps i've been playing fear once again, this time however(new parts since last install)on max settings with a steady 60fps most of the time:
http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/6307/fearbloodpg3.th.jpg (http://img63.imageshack.us/my.php?image=fearbloodpg3.jpg)
strangely its still a fun game :P

[moopcow]

Mechanerd, those specs should be fine for Bioshock. It runs great on my 2.8gh p4 7600gt 1.5gb rig, except for one thing: a serious slow down that just seems to happen eventually. Same thing happened in the demo, and its a bitch to fix. Restarting my comp sometimes wouldn't even do, but I think reinstalling my old drivers might have done the trick.

Does this sound like a memory leak? Because it runs fine for, I dunno, hours, then suddenly BAM even lowering the graphics doesn't do shit.

[Th3 ProphetMan]

There's a Bioshock thread in this section of the forums, still, since im already posting this...

Does the HD start working a lot when the slowdown happens? Do you use xp or vista? because vista uses a lot more ram, and in your case with vista, like 60% of the ram might already be in use leaving the rest for bioshock, and when the game needs more than that, other stuff goes to the pagefile to free up more memory, and probably from that moment on, stuff keeps being pulled to the pagefile to free memory space for bioshock each. Just a theory though

You should also try forceware 163.44 if you havent already, they did improve fps for me (up to 15fps in some parts of the demo to my surprise..) and although the drivers are probably focused on improving the game on gf8x00, your 7600gt might get something as well.

btw, you can reply on the other thread, we all we'll see it i guess :)

[Th3 ProphetMan]

Fifa08, WTF! Wasn't this game supossed to look a bit fucking better?

http://img388.imageshack.us/img388/305/untitled1od0.jpg

They somehow found a way to make 3d models looks like actual sprites...

Oh and i had to force FSAA and edit files (FIFA 08 Demo\data\cmn\cfg_pc_x.ini) to get it to do DOF and shadows, either it looks even worse... no clue of how to make the rsolution higer...

far beyond ugliness..

Edit: yeah, i expected something like this: http://www.es.ea.com/Images/screenshots/112675-fifa08_360_05.jpg So i guess the pc version has lower graphics for some stupid reason..

[Mechanerd]

On my second play through of bioshock. Rescued all the little sisters last time, this time around i'm butchering.. er harvesting them all. hehe

Yeah this game has alot of messed up shit in it, i love it for that very reason ^.^
http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/981/biovv8.th.jpg (http://img254.imageshack.us/my.php?image=biovv8.jpg)
This is the first fps i've played where I thought the story was really well written and thought out with alot of unexpected things happening along the way. Especially the later part of the game.
Gameplay wise, i've found myself using the weapons more than plasmids though i'm completely capable of killing anything without a single weapon, which is neat. My only complaints about the game are its too short and not enough splicer variation. Heck being able to kill anything besides splicers would have been nice but i suppose that would take away from the games 'everyone has lost their minds' atmosphere. The AI's pretty good, set em on fire they run to water, get em on low health thy sometimes run to a near by health station, they duck, chase, taunt, all very cool. Big daddy's are definately the shit though, every one is like a mini boss fight.

Btw anyone playing it I reccomend picking up every recorded message in the game, their all interesting and some actually give you things like door codes and stuff.

[Mechanerd]

Oh I did it in gmod, i have so many gmod er mods that its quite rediculous.

I'm on my 4th, yes 4th(obsession perhaps?) play through of bioshock.

Hes my favorite nutjob in bioshock, he likes to turn people into 'picassos' hehe.

[Dark_Swordmaster]

I like Sasha more.

[Mechanerd]

Sander Cohen was also awesome. Gotta love a guy who turns people into statues for 'art' hehe.

I downloaded the jericho demo. God what a waste of time that was.

Still it looked nice so heres some screens:

The demo is set half way through the game, is an obvious 360 port(even the menu buttons have the 360 icons) and is little more than; walk down corridor 1 kill monster A, walk down corridor 2, kill monster A again.

I was gonna play the crysis multiplayer beta, but like most betas you need to pay for a key. Bastards.

[Dark_Swordmaster]

Sander? Thought it was Sasha...


The fucking art guy. He was awesome.



BTW: Crysis beta is now open. I was playing with Ray. It's so fucking fun.



So I take off with a truck and go zooming away. I turn the corner on the prototype facility and catch some uneven terrain. Suddenly my truck's on the driver's side and skidding 30 feet "up". That's not an exaggeration, my truck was sliding like it was stealin' home. I notice this guy who had noticed me (and my truck, which isn't a surprise considering the unnatrualness of it all) and he had started shooting at me. So I jump out of my truck (or using the power of imagination, jump up and bash out of (and off) the passenger side door). I come down and start running at the guy and peppering him with fire.

I died, but it was the coolest ****ing death I think I've ever had.


I also killed myself in the best way I think I ever have before.

I drove a truck into a pole by mistake and jumped out. I forgot my truck jumped up when I hit the pole. I ran under it and it squooshed my head, but it was totally worth it.

[Mechanerd]

The non-subscriber keys are long gone. We got ours before they ran out, now there is one last batch of keys that are for subscribers only.

ffs, ah well i'll wait for the single player demo. If this game turns out as good as so many people claim i'm going to upgrade my cpu just for it.

[Th3 ProphetMan]

I can't help to think the multiplayer will be like in farcry. They have this new game mode we are playing in the beta which is very nice, but i dont think ill like deathmatch on this one. Guess im leaving that for UT3

Cant wait for UT3/Gears, are demos should be comming soon for these..

Looks pretty *yawn*

Actually, despite not bringing anything new to the table in terms of gameplay mechanics, I found it to be pretty enjoyable. It takes tried and true mechanics and does them well. Compared to CoD4, MoH: A is far superior in my experience. They're able to create a far more entertaining experience with far fewer and less obvious enemy respawns, overall more consistent graphical quality, more consistent gameplay, and larger more open levels (both in the sense of actual level size, and in the illusion that you're in a large world, and not just running through corridors). I hate to say it, but EA has created the better game here.

[Mechanerd]

Yeah I just got done playing the cod4 demo, was pretty dull.
Downloading the Timeshift demo atm, hope its less dull but eh i'm not expecting too much.

EDIT: but I did really Enjoy Call of Duty 4, it felt alot like Call of Duty 2 (the only other one I played), but it was good, so I'm definitely gonna play it, unfortunately it will probably be on my 360, as it doesn't run so well on my PC

[Th3 ProphetMan]

Dont know you but i love the UT3 demo, i liked the original UT better than 2k3/2k4 in gameplay terms and this one reminds me a lot to that. textures are a bit off but i understand they limited resolution to keep the demo under the Gb, and it runs really smooth :) cant wait to get the full version..

I have noticed ut3 seems to be more 'restrained' like old school ut as aposed to ut04 like you said prophet. Cant jump as high, run as fast and alot of weapons are less 'omg 1 shot' capable. I'm sure they'll have a 'ut04 style gameplay' option though. Lol i'm so use to just spamming rockets near people as aposed to actually hitting them :P They definately nerfed splash damage.

[RAY16]

AA is only available on DX10 cards with UT3.

this achievement is a bitch. the gnome doesnt stay in the car when you drive, so either every 2 seconds you have to get out and put him back in, but i like to shoot him as far as i can then drive to him. either way its really annoying

[Dark_Swordmaster]

HAHAHA! I was just thinking that.

"How do you keep the gnome with you when driving?..."

Ever have him fall out over any of the few chasms you jump?

[Th3 ProphetMan]

They did? bastards! I'm wondering why there's no AA in this demo also, I really hope its in the final version, the jaggies make me twitch.

Ive seen in some forums a trick for AA on nvidia cards but seems to be only working in XP: having latest forceware (163.71 or .75 at least i think) rename the UT3 demo exe to "bioshock.exe", then in nvidia profile manager force the bioshock profile to use AA. It a quite dirt workaround but i haven't seen anything else, and my 8800gts doesnt get me AA even with this (as i said, due to vista)

However, this is the kind of thing that should be adressed in (probably) the next forceware release...

12 minutes left, straight off AT server going 300k.

sry i dont have screenshots, but crysis demo looks AMAZING at 1440x900 with all high settings. Ive seen the shots on websites but didnt actually think it would look this good. I get playable fps with everything on high, but if i start looking around alot or moving fast it gets choppy.

[Digital Pimp]

Did you all get the new Beta Forceware drivers? Its supposed to help the game get better framerates.

[Dark_Swordmaster]

I'll put together my best gameplay so far.

I accidentally recorded me going all Predator on this camp... It was awesome.

[FATMAN]

hopefully will be getting a Intel E6850, corsair 2gb DDR2 1066 and a 8800 GTS 640mb system soon. Finally a new freaking comp :D

[Fortune Hunter]

My laptop actually managed to run the demo reasonably well on low... while I got basically no eye candy as far as lighting, or physics go, it was still quite enjoyable

which is good and bad

good because I wont have an unrelenting urge to buy a new computer, I have a problem with spending impulses

bad because I will want to buy the game, and subsequently wont get the full effect from it

[MrBored]

FATMAN, DON'T GET THE GTS!! Get the 8800GT 512MB, it FUCKING ROCKS.

The demo almost brought me to tears, oh the lag. I was forced to run it mostly on medium settings, even then bleh.
Wondering if i should bother buying this game knowing now that i'm only going to be able to play properly if i dont run it on high :(
Ah well just a good reason to upgrade my rig in a couple months i guess.

It supports both mATX and mini ITX mobos. Dunno about the 2nd one not being caged. Will have to check up on that.
thought the ASUS P5K-VM was pretty decent, supports DDR2 1066 without any need to OC and supports 1333 FSB. Only thing it looks like a OEM mobo cause of the crappy coloured PCB.

Edit: Another thing is that the case supports any normal sized PSU, no need of some crappy ass PSU that can only fit in the case

[RAY16]

I saw in the spec field on newegg that the 8800 GT uses PCI Express 2.0, is this cause to worry?

No, PCI-E 2.0 is backwards compatible with 1.0 and 1.1.

[MrBored]

I have great plans for PCI-E 2.0. If you're running DDR 800 memory, the CPU has a faster link to the GPU than the RAM. I'm currently running dual boot, I use Linux for everything except gaming, and in Linux the video card is not used. Well, not any more. Linux has the ability (has always had) to put the swap file in the Video card memory. I just hope that the PCI-E interface to the Video RAM is going to be up to scratch, so I need to investigate further.

[FATMAN]

so I went out to check out on some of the prices here, and holy fucking shit. Corsair Dominator dd2 1066 2x1gb sticks costs like $325!! WTF newegg says it goes for around $185. I hate shopping for computer parts in dubai ><
