extra keys document getting pretty big guess it's time to do a dump

 

[BigBoss]

Yeah they fixed it, runs 60 FPS for me long as it is the only thing running on my laptop.

Thats good to hear, thanks.

 

[KenOD]

Does Grey Goo seem like something that might be good? Odd that there's no price or pre-order despite releasing in nine hours.

I believe it will be. Classic styled RTS made by people who helped make Command And Conquer as well as Total Annihilation what it was, efforts to make it very balanced, no super weapons or other gimmicks for the sake of doing so, plenty of maps. It has a lot going for it.

If you haven't seen it yet, there was a Game Informer Test Chamber that showed off some of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1DZjpzZdeI

*checks account on phone*

Also I thought this Pulstar was on Steam, turns out it's some indie game =/

 

[jb1234]

not sure if i like ys

it's entertaining i guess but it's also got like zero story hooks and i just don't find myself wanting to play it for more than an hour or so. it's not boring as much as just not very compelling for me

probably gonna be my first and last ys game

Aside from Ys VII and Celceta (which are arguably *too* story heavy), Ys games are pure action games with just enough motivation to go out there and kick ass. Which game did you try?

 

[Dusk Golem]

Really hope the Night Cry kickstarter, when it goes up, passes. It's a kickstarter to bring the game to PC. With the director of Clock Tower, art director of Silent Hill 2, and other horror talent on it, I want it to come to PC, not just stick to mobile and Vita.

 

[Tizoc]

^Why not e-mail them about it once the kickstarter goes live? PC shouldn't be too hard to port to.

Aw, man! That's my favorite of them all!

 

[Syphon Filter]

Yeah they fixed it, runs 60 FPS for me long as it is the only thing running on my laptop.

you sure the fps was fixed?i just remember the resolution and options being fixed.i then remember people saying fps was not but they said it when we found out about the resolution update.

 

[Pestilence11]

For me it is that unknown feeling. I am dumped at an empty house and I have to figure everything out. I don't know if I am alone or what I am going to find. The creaking house that constantly sounded like footsteps didn't help.

On a related note, I just finished the game. I might have missed one or two things but it took me just shy of 2 hours. I thought it was pretty good, I've definitely played more boring games in this genre. I just can't get over how big that house is.

Next up the P.T. demo on PS4, with headphones and at night

 

[Dusk Golem]

^Why not e-mail them about it once the kickstarter goes live? PC shouldn't be too hard to port to.

The Kickstarter itself is to bring the game to PC. The team is self-funding their title and no matter what it is coming to Mobile and Vita, even if the Kickstarter fails. The Kickstarter is to bring the game to PC, that's what the crowd-funding is for since otherwise they wouldn't be able to afford it and the process to design it for bigger screens for PC.

Though we have some alpha screens of the game now, and the Kickstarter to bring it to PC starts soon.

For those who don't know what Night Cry is, it's the spiritual sequel to the Clock Tower series and Haunting Grounds, made by the creator of the first Clock Tower games. It'll be point'n'click survival horror on a cruise ship, we know the main antagonist is named the Scissor Walker, we know that there is a number of horror talent on board, including the creature designer and lead art designer of Silent Hill 2, the director of the Ju-On films and Marebito, and other unannounced talent. The project is low budget, funded by the pockets of the creator of Clock Tower, who wanted to make a horror game like this and had been saving up for years to make it, which is now finally in production.

If the Kickstarter fails and it doesn't come to PC, I don't even know how devastated I'll be. Here's Polygon's on-hands experience with it and the director talking about the PC Kickstarter: http://www.polygon.com/a/life-in-japan/Night-Cry-Clock-Tower-PC

 

[Tizoc]

It runs at 60 FPS for me, it only ever dips when accessing the save point, but otherwise smooth 60 all the way. I had issues where the FPS would dip but that's mainly if I am using Steam Broadcast or another program is running the background

 

[Dice]

FPS still not fixed for me.

Yup, Ito (art director and creature designer of Silent Hill) has been tweeting about it a lot, surprised he's working on another game. In an interview, he did a quick 15 minute sketch of the Scissor Walker, who's one of the and main antagonist of the game.

While there's mixed reaction to this, the director of Ju-On did a quick live-action teaser skit for NightCry: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdrdMAGVAMY

Man, that 970 debacle is a bummer. Maybe the nai benchmark isn't accurate.

Ubisoft game that is Steam only? This is new

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=977579

 

[Big_Al]

It's the same coverage as 4xMSAA at the cost of 2xMSAA. IIRC.

It's more exciting that DX10/11 games that didn't previously have MSAA support or supported it poorly now might have a better option.

Ah ok, thanks

 

[KenOD]

The most satisfying achievement I've earned yet on Steam. Beating You Have To Win The Game with only one life may not be the hardest one I've ever gotten, but it is one of the most challenging and rewarding in the "you've mastered the game and know exactly what to do" sense for me.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

benchmark isn't accurate.

The GAF topic reports it happening on Samsung memories AND on 980's. Faulty benchmark or the problem is there across the board.

Pity it's not supported by DX9 games. Would be a godsend there (although, I guess Maxwell cards can pretty much MSAAx8 everything that was made with DX9 in mind).

NVidia keeps saying it's a Maxwell exclusive feature, yet I can't help but notice that they only mention 9xx cards. Is 750/750 TI not Maxwell anymore?

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

The GAF topic reports it happening on Samsung memories AND on 980's. Faulty benchmark or the problem is there across the board.

Now that would be some fireworks.

Really expensive fireworks.

But then again, I'm used to Nvidia problems by now. My old card would lock on to 2D clocks at the random which would require a system restart. It was a well-known bug for the 2xx to 4xx line and it never got fixed despite being around for years.

 

[lashman]

well that's unexpected!! O_O

 

[def sim]

The GAF topic reports it happening on Samsung memories AND on 980's. Faulty benchmark or the problem is there across the board.

Yeah, I posted my 980 results on there. I think it's likely the former. Stuttering hasn't been an issue for me even when downsampling.

 

[JaseC]

The GAF topic reports it happening on Samsung memories AND on 980's. Faulty benchmark or the problem is there across the board.

I posted this just before:

That benchmark is not useful at all. It's using code ripped from nvidia's cuda concurrent bandwidth test.

The latter doesn't necessarily confirm the former. Part of the bandwidth test is testing device-to-device bandwidth (i.e. moving data within the GPU itself as the test only supports one GPU) -- that's exactly what people should be testing for and presumably what this custom benchmark is doing. I'd say the program is fine and 980 folks (and those with other cards, like myself and my two 670s) are seeing stark drop-offs at the very end because of OS overhead, whereas the 970s seem to be invariably affected a few chunks earlier.

980s are fine; 970s not so much.

 

[def sim]

I posted this just before:

980s are fine; 970s not so much.

Ah right, the overhead from the OS would explain the similar drop off between 980 benchmarks posted and yours. Dang, it really is too bad about the 970s and it's unacceptable for the product to even reach retail at its current state.

 

[JaseC]

I'm a little glad I didn't have the means to buy one (or two) now, assuming the issue is indeed hardware-related. I say "a little" as if Nvidia offers a free upgrade to a 980 as compensation then I'll be cursing my luck, haha.

A free upgrade to a 980 would probably be the best solution, assuming it's a hardware issue, though I'll be more than a little jealous if people luck their way onto one. It's nearly twice the price lol

Yeah, the only alternative would be to offer refunds, which would be even more expensive.

 

[Coldsun]

So hypothetically, how would they go about sending 980 replacements would you imagine? I mean it's going to be a logistical nightmare. With so many manufacturers and sellers, ugh.
But hey, if they manage to find a way, I won't turn down 3 980s

Totally agree, one of my proudest achievements. The game is short enough so that failed attempts never really get frustrating but still makes you super nervous when you get far in a run. I really should play the sequel and see if it holds up.

Gather a list of the serials used on 970s manufactured before x date and put together a claim website, I suppose. I imagine people would be waiting quite a while, though (probably a few months in some cases).

Wait, didn't the 660 have the exact same problem? Last 512MB were slower afair.

Also according to a benchmark in the thread the 980 seems to be affected too.

Slitherine's games are pretty easy to get into with a lot of modern features (compared to some wargaming peers) and this is a goodie if you're a fan of classic hex-and-chit play.

868-HACK has their page up on Steam:

Not sure what they have implemented beyond the iOS release but the game is excellent if you like fast playing roguelites.
