Holy shit @ the pc version. Just installed my retail copy (wish I got steam version, but employee discount out weighs full price this time). Game runs and looks amazing. I have everything maxxed (though vsync off) in 1920x1080 and am getting 70-80fps at all times. I will try to post some pictures later in the pc thread.

Rey from the PSblog said that it's supposed to be up today and it'll cost $15.
Game Trailers gave DS2 a 9.0

I skipped to the score since GT is known for including spoilers in their reviews.

Damn, I was hoping for $10 but I might still get it tomorrow.
I want to wait to get Dead Space 2 when my PC arrives in a few weeks rather than playing it now on PS3 but with Extraction factored in, it's a tough call. I need a new Move game. Sucks it's $60 on PC but I guess I might as well just get extraction PS3 now and get this game later when it's on sale.

I'm at chapter 6 after 2:20 hours. At first I thought the game looked great, I've never played the first and thought it looked like a mix of Bioshock and Doom. Now I'm really tired of the tiny corridors. Every time there is a window I look out and wish I could do something outside. Then its back to stomping things so I don't run out of ammo. I can handle exactly one more chapter of tiny dark corridors until I give up on the game

Forcing myself to shut this off and go to bed. I'm afraid if I keep going, I'm going to end up beating it in one sitting and I'll be bummed out. Up to chapter 8 now, really loving it. Substantially better than the first, loving the flow of the game more much compared to the first now that they've gotten rid of most of the backtracking problems of the original, and each chapter flows seamlessly into each other.
Can't wait to finish it up tomorrow and start over again on Zealot. I can already tell what a hellride that's going to be.

Ok, so the PC version unlocked and I was able to just now jump into the menus and play like 3 minutes of it.
Still no proper AA support, only "On" or "Off", and Vsync still caps the framerate at 30fps, using D3DOverrider I still get 60fps. However, there is a separate setting for controller sensitivity now, not just mouse, and the controller lag with vsync on is practically non-existent. I'll try M + KB next.
UPDATE: M+KB work wonderfully. No lag whatsoever either with in-game vsync or d3doverrider. I liked the default sensitivity, so I didn't mess with that, but the game felt good.
Tried to force MSAA using RadeonPro and it didn't work. Looks like I'm stuck using MLAA instead, but it's better than nothing. Someone with an Nvidia card should test it out too, though I suspect they probably can since they can force MSAA in the first game now. I have a Radeon 5770 BTW.

If it's the 30 fps cap you're worried about, just download rivatuner and use the included D3DOverrider program. This will give you triple buffering + v-sync with all games including this. It will lock the game at 60 fps!

can anyone comment on how well extraction works with regular controller (NOT move)
tempted to switch to xbox 360 version for the DA2 code, extraction vanilla controller is the decider

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz I can't believe multiplatform games have to be like this sometimes, AA on or off? Yeah that's not how it should be.

Beggars can't be choosers! sometimes we don't even get the AA option in console ports. So mm to that.
I am mind blown and amazed by this game. I hadn't followed any of the reveals or anything before getting this game today, and I only played the demo of the first one - completed Extraction on Wii though. This game is awesome.
How many chapters does the game have?
I'm currently at chapter 3.

They just announced the first DLC of DS2 apparently. It'll be 2 new single player chapters that take place during Issacs adventures in nightmare land. You play as characters from Extraction, the Wii/PS3 shooter already being talked about plenty on here.Gabe, a Sprawl security guard who is attempting to escape the Necromorph attack with Lexine, again, both from Extraction. It'll be called Severed. No release date announced.

Alright for once I'm going to be reasonable and ask questions before having my usual kneejerk reactions to announcements like these.
Codecow, Monkeypants ( obviously this is a buisness decision and nothing else, but ya'll might have some insight regardless ) was these chapters ready for release alongside the game? Or are they actually going to be "true" DLC?
Regardless, without the DLC market potential, these pieces of content would likely have never been created in the first place. I understand why people dislike the idea of DLC content being worked on alongside the full game, but really, that extra content would never have been considered if it could not be sold.Corky said:

Damn, I take it that means their not in the main game? I was hoping they'd pop up at some point. The whole deal with Lexine in Extraction was pretty cool.
So how did everyone like that opening? The
guy transforming right in front of you had my mouth down to the floor. It was great too because in Ignition two out of the four endings had that guy killing off his girlfriend and I always wondered if something bad was going to happen to him in DS2.

I think that it's fine since we're talking about a different main character. If it were Isaac DLC then I could see a possibility where they chopped it off from the main game to sell it later.
