Yian you should be able to get bloom, not to mention you probably have a 15 fps higher then me on average as I'm still using my 6800GT with non-nvidia drivers (damn newegg ran out of all 79gtx). Using no-cd, frames render ahead = 0, and new beta drivers should increase the difference.

Just so no one gets confused, my last post with pics (except the first) were done in Vampirism Stage 2, with Bloom and 4x AA. Different Stage and/or HDR will get different results.

These pics are done without Vampirism.

HDR ............ vs. ............ BL & 4xAA

There are some huge differences in ambience and foilage. Creature wise, it had the same affect, in HDR some were darker and shinier. In BL & AA they were dull contrasted but smoother.

I definitely like HDR over Bloom/AA.

Sure, the jaggies are pretty horrific on some buildings, but outside of that they're hardly noticeable.

I have it on the high setting and in most outdoor areas it runs like complete ass on my system. But, the game looks so nice I refuse to turn it down. In indoors I get acceptable frames. But in the forest and such my frames are hitting 15 and shit. My crappy X800 Pro can't even turn on HDR. No worries though. I'm about to get a 7800.

Scarily, self shadows are off(at least, they are now. No clue if they were on when I took that). I was more focused on the creepy "I'm going to plow into you in five minutes"-look that the dude in the background was giving the fella I was talking to.

I think they did some changes to the engine, cause I'm running it on 1280x1024, everything on max, 4xAA 16xAF and even shoft shadow on and it just has a slight lag. Hopefully it should have a good story to it. :)

Here are some random pics, due to a facist control of the dormitory internet I cannot access image shack but thats a whole nother fucking story... so heres what I got...

things to notice, the graphics are pretty good and it runs really smoothly... also lara glistens when she gets out of the water...

Also... the shooting is auto target or manual aim mode and the gunplay is kinda funky but its decent... overall of what little I played I enjoyed it, it was like the last indiana jones game, I like adventure shooter games like this with puzzles and platforming so I enjoyed it, Im not sure Id dish out money for it but Id certainly give it a try...

But, if this game is StarForce protected it will be a bitch to get working. I remember just to play Scrapland I had to completely disconnect all of my CD-ROMS.

There's no puzzle to solve or anything else to grab on to. It's just a giant gap, and there's no other way to jump it. Checked Gamefaqs, it said "double jump", which isn't really possible because Lara doesn't double jump.

Silver is the only other metal type apart from daedic that actually functions effectively against the undead in its basic form. On the other hand we have magica and enchanted weaponry. Everything else is as effective as a tooth pick against a concrete wall.
I'm referring to the formless enemies though (ghosts and others...further up the food chain). Zombies, skeletons and Liches need not apply.

In case anyone cares: My mobo may have been fried, but either way when I plugged in the new one it didn't help. So I booted from the Windows CD and find out that my Windows install was borked. So, while trying to fix this my computer case or power supply decides to out on me as well, thus it won't turn on. Now I have to get a new case and power supply for $30 (I think it's on the way).

And about the screenshots of the Witcher... wow, it's hard to believe that Aurora engine can do that... they are still using the Aurora engine, right?

I've got no complaints. It's not arcadey as some people have feared, one or two shots and you're dead. No running and gunning possible. AI is smart enough, but still prone to bouts of stupidity. Graphics are excellent, even on the settings I'm limited to. The only thing I have problems with is some of the controls. Switching weapons is a tad annoying, and sometimes commanding your teammates is a bit wonkey.

April 26th, 2006, 04:34 PM

I don't trust Ubisoft anymore (after Lockdown), so I have a feeling they somehow fucked this up because their marketing team found out gamers are idiots and the only thing that matters is that it looks pretty.

The (Xbox 2) review from Gamespot said this
Commands for your teammates are pretty basic. You can command them as a unit, and they'll respond to move, attack, or regroup commands. If you position them well, behind some low cover for instance, they're generally effective at shooting enemies, but they're not so smart about operating around corners. Too often when you command them to fire from around a corner, they'll step out and expose too much of themselves. They're also not so good about keeping themselves safe when they're following you behind a tank, but they do try to use the environment whenever possible to stay under cover. Commanding teammates may not be one of GRAW's highlights, but since you're probably doing most of the shooting anyway, it's not too big of a drawback, and they can be very effective in the right situations.

A major part of a tactical shooter is squad AI. It's about as important as level design. Yet they gave it a 9.2, even after admitting the squad is useless. The level design sounds repetitive as well, and they didn't say anything about special missions such as hostage rescue or sabotage. I wasn't aware that special forces just killed endless legions of bad guys to rescue presidents.

I'll find out soon enough.

April 27th, 2006, 05:31 AM

The demo sucked. Squad kept staying back while I was the only one who did the firing. Enemies sprint out into the open for no real reason. I mean, they aren't going anywhere. They just sprint out into the open even though my bullets are hitting their buddies. They don't react to well. For example, if I clear out one block, the 20 guys about 300 meters away don't react at all. I was expecting to be swarmed, like in real life. But nope. They just stood around like nothing has happened. They weren't even alert. Fuck Ubisoft.

Also, there's too much shit on the screen. It's distracting. All I need is the gun, status of my teammates, and ammo information. I don't need a red square around bad guys and a bunch of other stupid shit.

RAY16

April 27th, 2006, 09:28 AM

Well, I can't speak for single player because I didn't play it much after I took my initial screenshots. Co-Op with enemy target indicators turned off and difficulty turned to hard = goddamn fun (and even more fun with Ventrilo or Teamspeak). For some reason playing with non-stupid humans makes everything infinitely more fun, so I'm really looking forward to Co-Op in the full game and the other multiplayer modes.

NiteX

April 27th, 2006, 01:18 PM

I thought the single player was cool, although quite hard. You must constantly tell your team mates what to do. You can't just click follow once and they will always follow. They will only follow you to your current spot. The AI seems some what meh. But then again the AI in the 360 was meh as well. The only thing that urks me is the cheap looking HDR. It doesnt even look like real HDR and they don't give you an option to turn on AA.

The sound and the animation on the game is freaking amazing though.

Unfortunately SC comes out next year, hopefully we'll get a demo sooner than later.

In other RTS news the Dawn of War 2nd expansion pack has been officially titled:
THQ has today shed some light on the second expansion in the award winning Dawn of War franchise, which was originally announced back in January. Titled Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Dark Crusade, the new expansion will include two new playable races, the Tau Empire and the Necrons, as well as a new single-player campaign and a promise to expand the multiplayer experience even further.

THQ didn’t go into any specifics of the game’s changes, but the single-player campaign will centre on a conquest ‘meta-map’, which with each territory captured will give tangible rewards to the occupying force. The Necrons will also use a new economy model.

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Dark Crusade will be making an appearance at THQ’s E3 booth later next week, so stay tuned for more information on the title.

Seeing as how the good old screenies topic is so popular I figured I'de just post this news here:
Vivendi Games has today announced the first expansion pack for the critically acclaimed first-person shooter F.E.A.R, which is planned to be released later this year.

Entitled F.E.A.R Extraction Point, the game picks-up where the original had ended. Alma is now free, and the First Encounter Assault Recon (That acronym still makes no sense - Ed) team must pick-up where they first left-off in fighting her and her minions across an abolished city.

Developed by TimeGate Studio in conjunction with Monolith Productions, F.E.A.R. Extraction Point will feature an array of new locations, weapons and enemies to keep the action up-to-scratch with the original.

Gamers will get a first look at the title at next week’s E3 expo.
Yay for more Fear goodness.

Just got Sin Ep 1 unlocked. While the game still has a few HL2 textures and effects and what not, the feel has been tweaked enough to make it feel different from HL2. To tell you the truth visually HL2 looks a good bit better. The combat is pretty fun though. The only bad thing is the AI is kinda drifty. Meaning one moment they will be acting like they should taking cover and dodging. Then the next moment they just stand there and shoot you. Meh overall the game was worth the $17.

The one thing I really liked about Sin Episode 1 was the computer interfacing. Its quite unique at least to my knowledge and the phones were kinda funny. The health system is different.

All in all although fairly short, it was unique and different enough and superb graphics, so i say it was worth it... I will be skeptical about further episodes but still willing to consider purchasing them.

However they better drop the price or give us multiplayer or something.

Running it on 1280x1024 4xAA 16xAF, everything on max. Runs pretty smooth and the details are pretty good. oh body bullet holes are back. U can also disarm a punk and use the gun on him. pushing them off the side of a edge is cool and also remote bombing their ass. U can hide in closests and hide bodys in freezers and laundry baskets.Upgrading the weapons is also there, adding laser sight or maybe a extended clip to the silverballer is possible and much more.

Can select the type of ammo u want to use. one type is reduced noise and less recoil and the other one is able to shoot through doors and more recoil.Like I said screenshots to come :D

Hitman Blood Money looks awesome, saddly I my internet is too crappy here in Ireland to download 4 gigs worth of stuff (and I dont trust Daemon tools) so I preordered the Collectors Edition (at a great price) and will have it thursday.

The demo was pretty cool, a very simple walkthrough level, but the stuff you can now do is pretty cool. The one thing I look forward to most though is the weapon customization. According to the website under the notoriety feature they mention you can pick upgrades that suit your playing style. While browsing screenshots I found pics of a scoped, silenced, baller with laser sight, obviously for the calculated and quiet kills, and we all saw the M4 with C-mag probably for those who just want to kill everything in their path.

However I still love this shot:

Ive only played the first (real) level in Hitman Blood Money, I played it numerous times just to get a feel for the game, and also to try and get a good score.

I really really like Blood Money, it just plays so well, much better than contracts (a travesty)

Also the one thing I really like, is it (for me) can double as a first person shooter. I played through the Chile level in first person mode, just shooting everything and it was fun and enjoyable. I killed EVERYBODY which was funny. Some of those civilians are hard to catch, and the fact that they pick up guns to defend themselves is cool, and annoying.

The weapond customization (what little of it I have seen) is good too, its a pity that they limited it to those main guns, but its understandable, you cant really mod some of the others, the one thing I REALLY like though, is they give you some guns straight from the start, ordinarily I just stick with the pistol, but its nice to know I have some firepower guranteed should I need it.

While the weapon selection isnt as vast as Hitman 2, or even 3, and you cant keep melee weapons like the Axe in hitman 2, overall I really like the game, and look forward to getting on to the rest of the game

I just started playing this new game, it's call Download then Seed.. it has to be the best game that I have played this year, only second best to RiseOfLegends. I saw 7753 peers at a low point, that's 7753 thousand people wanting to play me online in this game, simply awesome.

Nothing to see here O_o.

Lots of people like spend money, but I need to play some more get money (its not that fun, but it gets me airtime)

I played Spend Money, with the quality of games today I have to admit that the game is lacking in all aspects, it's so overrated.. on another note that new game Seed Or Die looks good, it looks like it has potential.

With one drawback, you cant download with no seeds.

Eh, I just use them for extended demos. I have yet to keep one I "rent" for more than 2 weeks. Mainly because I only rent suck games. I actually buy games of quality.... Which means I should be rich, considering how much money I shouldn't be spending...

I just can't remember the last game I bothered to pirate games, last few years most of the games are either "zomg must buy or the gods will kill me" or just a rerun of another medicore game.

Is it just more of the same, or is it refreshing?

RAY16

More of the same, but more refined. There's more structure and polish and better use of the Source engine. I'm finding it very enjoyable.

Although this game was really awesome and I enjoyed every bit of it, I wish Valve would have given us at least 1 new weapon. It would have been cool to get something even simple like Alyx's pistol. Ah well in ep 2 there is a chance for new weapons.

why do steam games support HDR and AA while most games support either 1 or the other?

Because it's not "true" HDR.

Dark_Swordmaster

June 4th, 2006, 06:17 PM

It's floating-point, whatever the hell that means.

Long story short:

My Radeon 9600SE (a shader model 2.0 card) can run the HDR that Source uses, thus it's not true HDR. I'm not sure to the technique it uses but either way it's a damn nice fake...

You can tell that the Source's HDR is completely different from lets say, Oblivion's HDR. If you play Oblivion with HDR on it's a much different kind of bloom and bright effect than what source has. Although to tell you the truth I kinda like the look of source's HDR a bit more. It's not too over done to where it blinds you. I guess you could also say, with different game engines come different HDR types? So far source is the only thing that lets you enable AA with HDR on which in my book gets a higher score than Oblivion's HDR which doesn't let you use AA. To bad Sin didn't use HDR, it would have looked a whole lot better.
