do they talk about framerate, stuff like that?

Nah nothing like that, they don't go in depth too much. He doesnt mention anything negative really haha.

 

[DieH@rd]

THIRTY HOURS?

WHA-WHAT?

wha-wha-whaat

One journalist reported that even developers are not sure if DS2 speedrun can be done in under 20 hours.

 

[tragic]

Die. Check your msgs.

Damnit, details details, I say! We all know the game is going to be great, but perfomance-wise we need to know.

 

[Hindle]

So the mother of all questions, who would win in a fight War or Death?

 

[S1kkZ]

Damnit, details details, I say! We all know the game is going to be great, but perfomance-wise we need to know.

yeah, i really want to pre-order the game. but if it has sub-30 framerate, its a no-buy (i just cant deal with that, in any game).

 

[DonMigs85]

The first game ran anywhere from 15-30FPS depending on the chaos onscreen, and it was tolerable for me.

nothing can stop this train

Nothing came. Send it again, but this time spell my nickname correctly.

i had no problem when i first played it (which was the 360 version before the patch) but i went back a few weeks ago and couldnt deal with the framerate.

Well that doesn't mean anything. Alot of modern games can't be run because of the amount control that is taken away from players at times. (mandatory on rails sections like the griffin shooter in the first game, or entirety of Uncharted 2 and 3 for a better exmaple)

I'm sure the game is packed to the brim with content. At least alot more than similar games at the same price, but I don't think that's a good indication of it.

yeah, i really want to pre-order the game. but if it has sub-30 framerate, its a no-buy (i just cant deal with that, in any game).

I'm playing on a laptop and rarely get under 40 on the first game.(with it going as high as 120-200+ in some areas)

Buy it on PC if you don't want to deal with locked console framerate

 

[forrest]

I guarantee that isn't 100% either! =)

Yeah this was my guess. A partial completion coming in at 28 hours. I'd like to see his completion percentage if there is one when you beat the game.

tragic or hdn at what point in the game is this and how many spoilers can we expect?

 

[ChosenPredator]

damn i hate these things because its usually overwhelm with spoilers

 

[Sn4ke_911]

It's the very beginning.

 

[Megasoum]

It's the very beginning (still in tutorial) we saw the guy click on "Start new game".

 

[Kaako]

Heeey I like dat scale!

 

[DieH@rd]

HOLY SHIT.

Some hidden dungeons are 45minutes long!

 

[Megasoum]

I really hope that those huge fps drops are caused by the capture stuff or the stream cause it is GLORIOUS when it hit the 60fps! So smooth.

I hope this stands up on 360, this game looks amazing.

 

[Effect]

That is so weird. I thought something was wrong with my eyes there for a moment. YouTube lets you stream at 60fps but not normal videos!?

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Dat art and dungeon design.

Love how Death doesn't use his hands for nothing like opening doors or chests, his supernatural arms do that kind of work, little details like that are awesome.

 

[ironcreed]

Looks amazing... 'nuff said.

 

[Karamsoul]

Holy crap. Did Death just

[ezekial45]

Since when could YT run videos at 60fps?

 

[ChosenPredator]

youtube streaming is better then twitch.tv i guess lol looks really good

 

[GoncaloCCastro]

When that live stream is 60fps its so good!

 

[forrest]

Damn, give me this game already!!!

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Some of the platforming reminds me of Prince of Persia.

Btw, 30 is the level cap for those who didn't know yet.

 

[Megasoum]

Awesome you can respec for a low cost. I love it, I always hate tough decision lol.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

nice idea with the menu

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

The armor Death's got on right now is sick.

 

[dreamfall]

I just need it nooow. War is doing a great job tiding me over, but this GAME. Must. Not. Watch. Stream!

 

[Megasoum]

What's up with the super low-res and blocky ground reflections hmmm

 

[Sn4ke_911]

DAT DAMAGE :O

I think it's just the stream.

The

Crucible

is the place to flex your muscles (and legendary loot). =D

 

[Daydream Sequence]

Is it just me or does Crucible sound like a ripoff of Dante's Inferno? Not that I mind, as it was really fun in that game.

Had to turn the stream off. Either its bad on their end or my connection to them is shit because all the video really did was stutter. Death's animations are badass though. Can't wait to play this.

 

[DieH@rd]

They described Argul's Toomb as "new zone with dungeons".

Livestream is done! It was really choppy [not the games fault], but they showed the introduction [e3 demo], giantbomb area, and the Crucible [don't spooler tag that].

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Looks like they're done - that was a good showing. It was nice to see the

Crucible

and I hope we get some epic stuff for completing it.
