Bos_hybrid Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 This game is crazy. Wish the demo was more then 30 minutes though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purkake Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 (edited) There are supposedly some ways to stop the timer, but I think 30 minute chunks of gameplay are just enough to have fun, but not long enough to get boring. Some fun stuff to try: to ride the vertical gas canisters grapple the very top part, try stunt riding on vehicles and grappling passing vehicles to each other, the ground or even people. Also, you can grapple a car to a helicopter, get above something and then use F to drop the car on it. Also, here's a list of cool things in the demo(the coordinates are in the upper left on the map screen): X: 6438 Y: 24311 - BLACK SPORTSCAR (Sometimes with Minigun ) X: 7586 Y: 24333 - SPORTSCAR ( known from the VEHICLE STUNTS TRAILER ) X: 6555 Y: 25970 - The Plane X: 8353 Y: 24554 - stunt ramps X: 7105 Y:26022 - Stinger Dunebug 84 (inside poorly secured army base ) (Same Coordinates) - Maddox FVA 45 (A little NW of the above car, same base) X: 5360 Y:25637 H62-Quapaw heli its on top of the mountain with radio antenna right by start point X: 5351 Y: 23777 TANK from Desert Walkthrough (HEAVY BASE also some APC and ATTACK CHOPPER) X:8432 Y:24104 very small water area X - 6755 Y - 27241 -- Tractor Edited March 15, 2010 by Purkake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raithe Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 (edited) tsk.. playing the demo, keep getting the Military Base north of the start point to the 95% mark.. but just can't find whatever it is that will push it over..

Purkake Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 It's just a demo, fly around and blow stuff up, I don't know how fully the capture mechanic has been implemented. Also, here's the launch trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadExchange Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Also, for the pc, does anyone else have weird shadow/darkness in the beginning cinematic? Yes, everytime there's a cut-scene actually. I think it's some kind of filter that's not working properly. Perhaps they went for a "grainy movie" kind of filter effect, but on my Radeon 5870 it looks more like a graphical error. Hey, since you've played it a couple times, wanted to ask what kind of frame rate you were getting on what rez and what your specs are. I just want to see if my pcs running it decent.

mkreku Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Hey, since you've played it a couple times, wanted to ask what kind of frame rate you were getting on what rez and what your specs are. I just want to see if my pcs running it decent. I just checked: I'm getting 60-90 average fps, sometimes dipping down to 50-something and sometimes up in the hundreds. I have everything on max at 1920x1080, except I turned off motion blur since I think it looks better without it. My rig is a Core i7 920 (@3.0 GHz), 6 GB 1600 MHz CL8 DDR3 RAM and a Radeon 5870 1 GB, running Windows 7 64 bit. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

Maybe I'm doing something wrong then, I have an AMD Quad at 3.2, 8 GB Ram, and a Nvidia 275GTX and with everything at max, at 1920 X 1080, I'm getting between 20-30, which surprisingly seems fine when playing.

Well, since you're running Nvidia, you're getting two more graphics options than I do: Enhanced GPU Water effect and Enhanced Bokeh (background blur) filter. They are both rumoured to be very GPU intensive, even if there's no water nearby. Try turning those off and I'm sure you'll get higher framerates.

When I slide the rez to 1600 X 900, I can get a constant over 30 FPS which is fine by me, but I'm definitely gonna check out those two options as well.

Purkake Posted March 19, 2010 Author Share Posted March 19, 2010 (edited) There's a new patch out that fixes some stuff and more importantly adds an option to expand the field of vision, getting rid of the console-style zoomed in feel. Just add "/fovfactor=2.0" to the launch options for the game in Steam, works like a charm. Oh and climbing around on a helicopter while shooting a grenade launcher one handed at the occupants is awesome.

SadExchange Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Looks to be that the developers have added a benchmark tool to the main menu and each time I run through it, it says I only have 4 GB of ram, when my computer has 8 GB. Could this be because the game maxes out at 4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purkake Posted March 20, 2010 Author Share Posted March 20, 2010 Do you have a 64-bit operating system? Also, there's a trainer to stop the timer and be able to attach an infinite number of super strong ropes for maximum fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I have Windows 7 64 bit Does anyone know, if I get a retail copy and then go on Steam and add a non steam game (which this would be right because it's a retail copy), would I still be able to get the achievements and get steamcloud?

Purkake Posted March 20, 2010 Author Share Posted March 20, 2010 It uses Steamworks, so I guess, but don't quote me on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purkake Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 So the game is out and is getting glowing impressions from people who have played it(at least on NeoGAF) and solid 8s or 9s from all around. My main PC is borked for the time being, but surely someone here is playing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vault_overseer Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I'm playing it when I have the time. It's freaking enormous, almost to the point of pissing me off. Found the Mile High Club yesterday, but missed it when jumping out of the heli to get there. It's definitely fun to play around with. One of the first things I did, was to reenact 9/11. I guess I'm a horrible human being and I'm going to hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purkake Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 The only real complaint that some people have had is with the story, but from what I've seen the missions themselves are varied and super crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pidesco Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I really, really wanted to give this a go but the Windows 7 requirement blocked that desire.

A game released in 2010 still has the Twin Towers in it? Methinks its time to update the graphics. Does it also still have the Collosus of Rhodes in it?

Wasn't Twin Towers, just some random skyscraper. Dunno about Collosus, but it does have the island from Lost. And your plane crashes when you fly over it.
