this game strikes me as the type of game where bugs and the like wont impact the fun factor too much.

So if you cant complete the main quest because of some stupid plot stopping bug thats not too bad? It is not that bad with the PC version of Sacred 2 luckily but in Sacred 1 that was pretty common, so lets hope it wont happen in the console versions of Sacred 2.

like i said, "wont impact the fun factor."

its an open world game, made by a small dev, ported from a pc version which is apparently quite buggy. sounds to me like i should resign myself to their being at least some bugs ill run into. not going to stop me from getting it though, ive been looking forward to it for quite a while now.

 

[bjaelke]

Why are you expecting that many errors? They did implement all the PC patches and have delayed it several times to "finalize the product". It's no AAA title, but I'm certain the delays have been a benefit for the game.

 

[besiktas1]

Hate to be the bearer of bad news :'( I hope the console version doesn't have a need for a title update, from what I can gather it's unlikely now...

Also Fucking hell another developer gone down, how many is that now?

Hope the takeover is friendly and easy process....

I really want to get this game is the online co-op fun?

Edit:By the way are most of the problems you guys had for the game fix?

Awesome. I'm so tempted to pick up the PC version, but I really want to wait for it to come out for the consoles so I can play it there for a refreshing change... Maybe I'll just pick up both!

 

[Slaylock]

It looks like the game has gone gold.

Is this game more like Nox or like Diablo?

 

[Lonesome_Raod]

I live in the UK and am really tempted to pass on the 360 version since it's not out here until 5th June and just import the ps3 version. Hope the 360 version turns out to be region free.

 

[bjaelke]

Well it looks like Diablo but doesnt play like it.

 

[MoxManiac]

Supposedly (earlier?) preview build had framerate problems. I hope they fixed that with the delay and all.

This has been addressed according to the official forum. They made a post about it back in January - a month before the original release.

 

[Thrakier]

I would be surprised if this game has no framerate problems. At least the PS3 version will probably run like shit. I mean it's Ascaron, the game runs like shit on a PC too...

 

[Hammer24]

The early build I saw last year (on 360) was very very promising.

 

[Thrakier]

Yes, 360 probably will be fine. But if a dev like Capcom can't bring RE5 with a constant framerate to the PS3, Ascaron is probably not able to do this either...

 

[SlasherJPC]

So this game is getting so close to release. I can't wait. This is going to be a game I play a shit-ton of! :lol

 

[dallow_bg]

Yes, 360 probably will be fine. But if a dev like Capcom can't bring RE5 with a constant framerate to the PS3, Ascaron is probably not able to do this either...

You're right, I'll wait to hear impressions.

 

[bjaelke]

I just got a txt saying that Sacred 2 has been pirated Not sure what platform but I assume he's refering to the 360 version (that's the only console he has). I guess it's inevitable to avoid piracy but it really sucks considering what has happened at Ascaron in the past few weeks.

 

[British Monsoon]

Not particularly exciting, but Gamestop is offering a free "Carrier Imp" with preorders. Appears to apply to the Xbox 360 version only. Why? Who knows...

Reserve Sacred 2: Fallen Angel and receive a special code to unlock the GameStop Exclusive Carrier Imp, an in-game "pet" that provides extra inventory storage for players. The Carrier Imp can be summoned by the player whenever needed to store excess loot and equipment, and deliver items to the player. Available for online and in-store customers, while supplies last.

[Hammer24]

BTW, it looks like the LE will hit a week earlier than the regular edition.

And Bjaelke - this pirating shit is a shame!

I have the imp for the PC version. I can't imagine playing without it. The mobs drop more loot on average than those in Diablo, so you'll fill your inventory pretty fast.

Huh?

Why?

 

[Thrakier]

Game got 82% in the german Gamepro. Only the 360 version though. They said, that the framerate is shit and that it has quite some tearing. This, my fellow PS3 owners, should make you fear the ps3 version.

One developer at B3D (BT) said he had the PS3 running at 1080P before the 360, so it may be the better version, but I suspect you were just trolling.

 

[Thrakier]

I'm not trolling at all, I want this game, I want it to run smooth and I would prefer to buy it for PS3. But I think there is absoultly ZERO chance that this game runs better on PS3. Ascaron even sucks at making a good PC engine, they obviously didn't do a good job at porting it to 360 and now the best version should be on PS3? Never ever.

 

[HiResDes]

I don't even care about 1080p, I just care about 30 constant FPS.

As suspected... Damn shame. I can't stand a shitty framerate AND tearing so I will most likely cancel my pre-order.

 

[xDEILGYREx]

Well, I played through all of Too Worlds, and even with its framerate I enjoyed the game.

ScrewAttack's hand-on with the game looks good enough:
http://www.screwattack.com/OotB/Sacred2

How the game will run with 4 players online is another matter.

 

[Thrakier]

This hands on is, again, only the 360-version.

 

[bjaelke]

They don't care about the PS3 version. You should know that by now. Check the official console forum...it's hosted by teamxbox :lol

 

[Lonesome_Raod]

Importing the ps3 version to play until the 360 version releases 5th June here in the UK.

 

[bjaelke]

Why not import the 360 version? It's not region locked.

 

[xDEILGYREx]

Only the 360 version though. T
hey said, that the framerate is shit and that it has quite some tearing.

If it was really that bad, it wouldn't have scored so high.
An 80% is a pretty good mark for an oldschool game like this, sporting less-than-impressive graphics compared to AAA titles.

Is the review online? I'd like to see the actual wording.
Screen tearing only really bothers me in racing games where your eyes are glued to one spot on the road ahead of you...typically where the tearing occurs.
I barely noticed it in 360 Fable2 and Far Cry2, for instance.

 

[Raide]

The Screwattack video makes Sacred 2 look pretty smooth. I think combat wise, this type of game is always going to get repetitive but as long as the co-op is solid, the loot is plentiful and varied and the challenge is there, it should be top fun.

 

[mujun]

so is everyone keen to do some co-op?

 

[Ricker]

Why not import the 360 version? It's not region locked.

It is region locked,because of the different release dates and 2 different publisher.

 

[ZombieSupaStar]

This hands on is, again, only the 360-version.

so get it on 360?

 

[Hammer24]

Huh?

A couple of retailers have the CE for May 29th, and the reg edition for June 5th. Business decision?

And do we have any confirmation whatsoever if this is region locked or not?

 

[Thrakier]

so get it on 360?

Maybe. But I would have to buy XBLIVE Gold only for this game and I don't know if it's worth it...don't think so.

 

[Metalic Sand]

Is there some form of friends list build into the online portion?

Patiently waiting for my friend to mail me a copy (He bought 3 ) Just been playing the demo to pass the time.

Any class recommendation for maximum nuking/coolness. I plan to read this thread fully if its already listed. Ive only played the seraphim so far and she seems pretty tough.

 

[Lonesome_Raod]

The 360 version is region locked. I emailed CDV and also the community manager posted the same on the xbox.com forums.

 

[bjaelke]

Some developer said it wasn't region locked on the Sacred 2 forum. It was some time ago so it could have been changed with the reason date change. Only one way to find out...
