Don't have time to watch it all but from what I've seen... Overreaction total.

Pfft I expected a clusterfuck, shit looks great. Day 1.

Thing about enemies running at you while doing saltos and other circus jumps - funny as fuck!


About auto aim - you can turn it off in most console fpses what I do sometimes.
Aiming on a pad w/o autoaim takes 5 times more skill to then on a mouse so actually it's pc gamers that go easy way.

Ya that's what I was trying to explain to you. Its not like its something that will just hammer your eyes It's noticeable in game, the PS3 is obviously below the 360, but I for one wouldn't return ether version, but if I had to chose it was easy enough.

As for the random hitches, those happen. Not sure why. And I am not the only one getting that on the PS3. But there are so many kinds of PS3's and 360's out there, maybe some have a bit of an issue over others? Not sure. I know my old 360 would stutter horribly during Call of Duty 2 and my new one plays it fine. I was never sure why that was.

Yeah, really. The game looks great. Not perfect, but most people walk away impressed with the overall visual package.

Videos probably hide the pop in a fair bit, but they also don't show the 60fps goodness either.

It did hide a good deal, but as you said the 60fps is what matters. And I still think I like its look more than most other games. Very very crisp. More importantly, tons of game hidden in there as well

I can't wait to see what some people think about some of the missions too. Ha. Some start out seemingly mundane only to turn into WTF moments big time.

This YouTube channel has about the first 2 hours of single player and a bunch of the co-op missions for those of you who don't mind spoilers and want to see what the gameplay is like.

Goddamnit. Now I feel the urge to play this game. Any word yet on how large this game is? Those opening hours were enticing.

Carmack said 15-25 at one time.

And you just know DLC expansions will come of some kind. Carmack seemed to love working in the world itself.

Texture pop-in isn't some new thing either. Halo, Bioshock, Singularity...despite all being great games, they also took their time loading some textures.

100% Correct.

The game is huge, has a shitton of quests, runs at 60FPS, and has amazing AI. I would have probably played it if it had looked like a dos game.

 

[AlkalineProdigy]

The only thing that is bad about this game is the story. The best description I can give without giving anything away is. It's like watching Kill Bill 1 and 2 and never seeing the bride actually kill Bill or finding out why he shot her in the first place. The last mission gears you up for this huge conflict and the game ends. You aren't quite sure it's the end until the final cutscene appears. For me it took me 10 hours to beat and once I was done I got bored rather quickly. I know someone else may have found the story more interesting.

Now I really need to see a DOS game running @ 60 FPS.
Shit's got to be xtreeeeeeeme.

Get Wolf 3-D for the iPhone. I was just playing it a second ago!

 

[iumogg]

I've heard 15-25 hrs. I imagine my game time will be 30+ as I scrounge every nook, look for and complete all side missions, and get caught up in all the side stuff like the racing and the magic like collectable card game.

 

[Great Rumbler]

From QuakeCon:

Dude, I was AT QuakeCon and I played the PC version. Of course, it could have been a slightly earlier version than what's being shipped, but it was there in August and I saw it happen with my own eyes.

Not that it was some horrible experience or anything, game looked amazing and the texture issues weren't noticeable most of the time.

 

[mr stroke]

just pre ordered this, everyone seems to have a hard on for this so I am in.


Please tell me the PC version has eyefinity/multi monitor support?

 

[NathanMcMahon]

When's the veil lifted for the reviews?

Fallout this is not.

 

[Gvaz]

Getting this bad boy on the PC but I watched those PS3 vids posted above and I don't see "unreal engine" texture pop in. There might have been some slight pop-in but who the fuck cares. I'm just happy this thing runs at 60fps. Kinda blows my mind that's even possible with the fidelity I've seen in some of the official videos that have been released.

I saw it in the 360 vids. Your eyes are getting bad.

 

[iumogg]

Fallout this is not.

I know, but there are items to find which you use to build items and cards to find which you add to your deck and places to explore. I don't expect a complete open world, but I do expect there to be some exploration and hidden areas.

I waited about the same amount of time, my sister got in after a month :l

 

[Prezhulio]

So I think I have an idea but when does the steam preload unlock? I think I remember it being release day at 3pm EST is that what it usually is?

Uh yes, I'm just saying that the retail will be "much" better than what you played. According to an interview with Tim Willits around QuakeCon:

The id Tech 5 dynamically adjusts the quality of the shown scene. Everything that is not visible to the viewpoint will scaled down to a minimum of details. So if you quickly turnaround the engine first must scale them up to a proper quality. This is currently much more visible than it will be in the final version. The console versions on the other side will take longer to scale up because of the limited RAM.

When's the veil lifted for the reviews?

Id like to know as well, dont care about a score but i want to read what reviwers think about it. Im on the fence if i should pick this up as well as Dark Souls Tues.

Just watched some of that gameplay video and Im stunned. It looks and run really well.

 

[angular graphics]

My story: I waited months upon months to receive an email notifying me I haven't been accepted, then waited years till I decided to try registering again, and that second time I was accepted within 2 weeks or something

 

[Wallach]

Tomorrow some site (probably IGN) will post their "early" review, then Tuesday the embargo is officially over and we'll see the rest of the reviews.

 

[clav]

Does the PS3 version run 30 fps or 60 fps?

 

[angular graphics]

Does the PS3 version run 30 fps or 60 fps?

60

 

[clav]

60

Ah nice. ID got it uniform across the two consoles.

Is this game supposed to be the Doom 3 of this generation?

 

[Karak]

Does the PS3 version run 30 fps or 60 fps?

Every version is 60

EDIT: Man watching some of the 360 streams makes me feel like I just don't know how to play Way better shots than me. I have to get back into using a damn controller. Arg.

 

[CoilShot]

So any videos out yet of someone playing on nightmare?

 

[madmook]

For me it took me 10 hours to beat and once I was done I got bored rather quickly. I know someone else may have found the story more interesting.

10 hours? So the 15+ is bull?

 

[Yoshichan]

Is it unlocked from start ?

 

[Karak]

10 hours? So the 15+ is bull?

Ya, or either he is WAY fast. I am 8 hours in and no where near finishing.

 

[M.W.]

Ya, or either he is WAY fast. I am 8 hours in and no where near finishing.

Yeah, he probably did zero side missions and no races. I think there's 26 different race circuits in the game you can do.

 

[NathanMcMahon]

So, there is an official embargo until Tuesday? That doesn't bode well.

 

[Wallach]

Publisher. They'll do it with Skyrim, too. Pretty much their standard policy now.

 

[kx11]

who cares about the story these days , how many games out there have good ones ??


the game is awesome and looks superb on ps3 for a game that runs at 60fps

 

[NathanMcMahon]

Publisher. They'll do it with Skyrim, too. Pretty much their standard policy now.

Hmmmmm.... I guess I just wait then.

 

[Einbroch]

Publisher. They'll do it with Skyrim, too. Pretty much their standard policy now.

It's not even limited to this publisher, either. Almost every game does this now. Kinda sucks.

 

[Poimandres]

Most games have embargos until release these days. It has nothing to do with the quality of the game.

I'm playing on Nightmare, and I just ran into my first area of frustration. Had to go back and try to get more weapons and ammo, because my present inventory is just not strong enough. End boss of the level has a cheese move that takes almost all your health, is spammed rapidly and repeatedly, and for now seems totally unavoidable and unblockable. Pissing me off to no end.

 

[Radec]

Where are the reviews?

Does the game specify what changes on Nightmare?

I guess that's why its called Nightmare.

So, it hasn't been too difficult so far?

 

[perineumlick]

The game doesn't specify the difference between Nightmare and other difficulties, and I started my first playthrough this way so I can't compare it to, say, Easy or Normal. Enemies take a lot of rounds to drop, that's for sure. If you play smart it's not that difficult, at least until this mission that I'm on, that is. It's waves of enemies, and then a boss fight at the end that if you fail, starts you at the beginning again, and you can't save in between either. Complete bullshit.

I'd argue most don't have release day embargos and I believe it does speak to quality or lack thereof.
