See you Anglophobes! All accounted for in the first two bloody games.

To be fair I'd go down in a blaze of glory when my beloved AssCreed is attacked.

It's probably Animus 4.0 by now, those coding wizards at Abstergo are probably running it in 240fps and 8K too.

Geometry Wars 3 coming to Steam November 25th

Maaaaan, I really hope this game is good. GW2 dominated my summer the year it came out.

 

[Grief.exe]

Reading this I will eat crow if unlocking the framerate doesn't completely break the game.

cool, so there's a chance it's just a dead rising 3 situation


or a chance it'll completely break the game, we'll find out i guess

That's the problem. Bethesda seemingly answered the question, but the reality is they didn't.

PR in a nutshell. Reminds me of, 'we currently have no plans for a PC port.'

 

[BiggNife]

Also you guys do realize you can hide duplicate copies of games from your Origin library, right?

My gpu only has 2gb, would suck if i can't even play on 1080p with 30fps.

 

[Zafir]

Yeah, but you could get GRID autosport for 6 keys if you search in other places like steamtrades & tf2outpost. But yeah, if you are lazy use dispenser.

Oh indeed, I always go for whoever is cheapest. I just recommended dispenser because it's definitely the easiest method for a first time trader.

 

[Miguel81]

Thunder Wolves

That looks interesting, and the reviews are mostly positive too.

 

[MayMay]

...xD it really is 60GB.

FFXIII preload is up

EDIT: Nevermind, actual download size is 49.4GB

 

[MattyG]

Me too. I'm hoping it's like Shadow of Mordor where they just overstated VRAM usage.

 

[Vuze]

Not sure how to think about the "oh lol we won't guarantee that our game will run at 60fps at all but please buy it anyway so you can see for yourself" attitude that developers show recently (namely Dead Rising 3). Better than not having the option at all but still worrisome.

 

[Zafir]

Thank god. I'd have been waiting for hours to play tomorrow if they didn't do that.

 

[Phawx]

Heh, just came here to post that Bethesda got back to me with that same link. I also *might* get a review copy, but chances are very very slim.

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

And with FF13 installing... Goodbye hard drive space. I have too many large games installed right now, I've finally gone below 200GB free on my 1TB drive.

I need to get a 2TB or something.

 

[MattyG]

Wait, they outright said that you can't run it at 1080p without 4GB VRAM? What is this bullshit?

 

[Levyne]

Oh yay, time to eat up that disc space with a game that I've already played and didn't love. Why do I do this!

My exact feelings.

Just a word of warning due to this being a preload and not an install you will need 50gb to download and a further 60gb to unpack it. So you need 110gb free if you only have 1 hard drive.

What. This ain't gonna work. I only have 70GB free. Abort abort

 

[AsfaeksBR]

Styx is getting better and better.
Question to those who have played it a bit more than I:

Can I go back to my "HQ" to upgrade and then come back in the mission?
Like, I am now on mission 2-2. If I upgrade and come back, will I return on 2-2 or 2-1?

 

[RavenValor95]

Oh jeez, FF13 is so large!
I think I'll wait until my data cap rolls over before I download it.

 

[MayMay]

So, looking at the FFXIII PC OT - the Asian Version is only 29GB big.

Uh.. Dual Audio confirmed? Hell yeah - if thats true.

 

[Kurt Russell]

Damn GMG, no keys available

 

[ANuclearError]

Steam says that it has both English and Japanese audio for me, so I guess that must be it.

 

[MillionStabs]

Damn, there better be a good reason for that.

 

[Grief.exe]

Posted in The Evil Within OT, Gstaff says the game plays fine at 60 FPS. Trying to get a little more information out of him.

I’ve played through the game and I’ve also seen the game played at 60fps on a PC powerful enough to handle it. It looks great, but personally it didn't look right to me. I felt like I was seeing a "soap opera effect" and that took away from the atmosphere and feel that I think the default setting captures.

Yeah, I took Cargo but clicking on the link just sends me to Indiegala's main page.

Hooooooly shit, I think I'll pass on this one then. It's not worth 50GB, let alone 110GB.

Gotta wait at BEST we get it at midnight, otherwise on the 7th or the 8th.

Not to mention that unpacking / decrypting that much data on a non-SSD is going to take... a while.

MMBosstones is going to kill me with another TimeCop reference but the same data can't occupy the same space. It's how they've always worked as when you preload a game is goes into you depotcache folder and is encrypted until release. When you go to decrypt it it will then unpack the files into you Steam library folder (can't you chose where now?).

Realistically in my position it would be better to start downloading it the moment the game is release so it's classed as an install and goes to the downloads folder and then moved to the Library folder straight after without duplication.

Not to mention that unpacking / decrypting that much data on a non-SSD is going to take... a while.

Well I'm off out now to buy an new SSD to cut my depotcache folder to so not to cause myself a juggling headache. Not that I'm in a rush mind as I've got a day and a half until it finishes downloading

EDIT: Read your post above, yeah no preload for this mutha.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

That's what i got from that, too. No rush, finished that game when it came out. I can wait.

Does that heppen with all preloads? Is there space being used up on my HDD by unnecessary files left over from my Alien and Mordor preloads?

 

[GaussTek]

Thanks for the warning guys, looks like I won't preload this one. I'll just wait until it releases tomorrow.

 

[Miguel81]

At least the video and audio will be crystal clear guys. That's worth the space, right?

 

[Chariot]

Yeah, I took Cargo but clicking on the link just sends me to Indiegala's main page.

Alright, I send a e-mail to the indiegala support. I let you know, when I get an answer.

 

[Dr Dogg]

Does that heppen with all preloads? Is there space being used up on my HDD by unnecessary files left over from my Alien and Mordor preloads?\

In my experience yes as they normally are up before the game is officially released so to stop you playing it they are encrypted. Once they're installed the encrypted files are deleted so it would only take up 60gb but you'd need 110gb total. As I said though if you don't mind losing 22 hours of a head start to downloading this it might make more sense to start the download when it's officially released.

 

[Deitus]

Does that heppen with all preloads? Is there space being used up on my HDD by unnecessary files left over from my Alien and Mordor preloads?

The cache is deleted when the decryption is completed, so I wouldn't worry about that.

 

[Faabulous]

Not to mention that unpacking / decrypting that much data on a non-SSD is going to take... a while.

It can't possible take more time than the 8 hours its going to take to download the whole thing on my connection,

Spoiler

can it?

 

[Zafir]

Does that heppen with all preloads? Is there space being used up on my HDD by unnecessary files left over from my Alien and Mordor preloads?

Well no, it should delete the files from your depotcache folder after Steam has unpacked them on launch. It's just that it can't delete the files until is has unpacked them. Just like if you were to unrar a large rar file or something.

 

[Parsnip]

Well, if the Asian version is still 29gigs, I guess that pretty much confirms dual audio and since all the videos with speech had lipsync, they'd need to have two of each for those as well, right?

Games got big.

 

[Shadownet]

Seems like a neat project! Funny thing with Kickstarter is that just yesterday I thought about backing a few projects but then I realized that I have backed three projects and regret all of them so I have no more of these thoughts. Still I'm excited to see how this game turns out. Mojo Bones' last game on 3DS was well regarded (Siesta Fiesta).

The game isn't a steam code?

 

[Alavard]

Hooooooly shit, I think I'll pass on this one then. It's not worth 50GB, let alone 110GB.

I'm with you on that.

I got the game on release for my 360 (I didn't own a PS3 yet) and didn't hate the game (though it's not one of my favorite FFs), and was going to pick up the copy on Steam. But hell, 50 GB is a lot when my monthly download cap is 300 GB and I already hit it on a semi-regularly basis.

 

[Dr Dogg]

Dual Audio? Hmmmm might have some legal and rights issues. Cutscenes with hard coded subtitles in different languages? Please Squenix no!
