Not even here where Ubisoft being asshole stopped them from cheating

Seriously, can't you just let Sega have the day for once? D:

Oh wow those prices are pretty cheap.

Here's a decent downsampling comparison:

Native 1080p:

4k downsampled:

 

[Lord Phol]

One of the best games ever made, great story, gameplay, visuals, music and cast of characters. Can't wait to replay it! (something I very rarely do with games)

 

[O.DOGG]

Just finished the tutorial level. Game looks great. I'm glad I can finally play it.

 

[Sutton Dagger]

Can someone post down sampling comparisons. Not noticing much of a difference.

Have you reached the actual gameplay yet? Downsampling from 4K and it's ridiculously crisp.

 

[Durante]

The music is fantastic so far. Man this game can be brutal. took me 4 times to beat the first tank mission. it seems moving people into position to attack while the enemy moves is pretty damn crucial. i also wish there were mission checkpoints. restarting the whole mission over is a bit much. hopefully there's no bullshit missions where you have to be perfect.

You can save during battles.

I only realized this on PS3 after chapter 10 or so.

 

[ThePeoplesBureau]

I'm also very busy with school work at the moment so starting a 40+ hour RPG is the last thing I need lol.

Haha, of course, of course. Perhaps it will catch your eye in a Steam sale down the line, tuck it away on your wishlist at least

 

[jrcbandit]

Looks great downsampled from 5k resolution! Is the game limited to 60 Hz? When I wasn't downsampling, it didn't let me use 96 Hz which I have my monitor overclocked to.

Stupid Origin still hasn't unlocked AC: Unity ;p.

 

[Shengar]

I know, right
Except for Ubisoft

what? this is a game changer news. did i miss this in a tutorial somehow?

You finish chapter 9 without interim save?

There is ONE mission later on that might... frustrate you, although a lot of the missions after the intro missions are actually less frustrating on that front, because you have an actual squad to work with, rather than just Alicia, Welks, Isara and a few random Bruhl guard shmoes and can actually provide your armor some cover.

 

[Woo-Fu]

You're playing on PC, save whenever you want. It's the infinite power of the no-wall garden.

 

[grandwizard]

Game is great and the port is great. Really loving Mouse control!

 

[Scrooge McDuck]

Even Ubisoft's is about $9 cheaper isn't it? At least according to Google currency calculator.

 

[Peff]

Nope, they just assumed you'd pause and see it In fact, it's a little broken now that it doesn't take 40/50 seconds to save and another bunch to reload, but hey, it's up to personal preference how much to use it!

 

[Basileus777]

The save system is identical to the ps3.

 

[tauke]

Downsampled from 4K and the average GPU usage for default clock speed on GTX 780 is around 50% while VRAM usage hovers around 1.3GB.

Only problem is I can't get borderless fullscreen to work.

 

[Falk]

First mission, 1080p60 in motion (still processing)

 

[TaroYamada]

You finish chapter 9 without interim save?

I beat the entire game with no saves, only had to retry 2 times throughout the entire game IIRC. Didn't realize I could save. In the later parts of the game though I spent hours analyzing my moves so I wouldn't die. I would plan turns in advance on graph paper.

No, I'm not kidding.

The real man's way to play the game!

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

VISIT THE CEMETARY AFTER EVERY BATTLE!!!

 

[MickeyKnox]

Fixed my sound issues, had to set it back to 5.1 (had to switch it to stereo for headphone use in ArmA) then to fix the quality of I had to go into my driver and force a 48000Hz sample rate.

 

[TaroYamada]

My friend played through after me and I was over at his place, he went and saved in the middle of a match and I just sighed thinking about how long it took me to beat missions via over-analysis. I should check my PS3 save to see how long it took me vs. the average (which is 30-40 hours IIRC).

 

[Durante]

VISIT THE CEMETARY AFTER EVERY BATTLE!!!

This is a good hint.

 

[WilltheMagicAsian]

I thought mouse aim was gonna be bad with no adjustable sensitivty, but it's perfect.

Does one of those retries came from chapter 9?
I haven't used any interim saves actually, up to that point when shit hits the fan.

Makes sense I didn't notice anything then, I have it at 48k.

 

[Gbraga]

Wow, the screenshots look amazing!

I don't remember when they came I just know I only failed 2-3 times throughout the entire game. I played around launch time so it's been a few years.

 

[InternHertz]

I'm almost positive I may not be able to play the game on my laptop, but I'm downloading the files regardless.
If if turns out I can't play, at least I'll back them up for when I have another solution.
If I can play fine though...oh man it's gonna be great.

 

[TatteredHat]

That reminds me, don't forget that you can scroll down the list of weapon upgrades, first time I played through I didn't realize the list went down 4 more tiers of new weaponry.

 

[chaobreaker]

I have to get ready for morning classes but I'm unpacking the game right now before I go.

How does pre-loading work anyway? Are you downloading an encrypted version of the game?

 

[TaroYamada]

I'm quickly realizing why we have overbearing tutorials via this thread..... I am to blame as well.

 

[Shengar]

My laptop seems can play it, but then it become hot like a toaster so I turned the game off.

 

[baterism]

Run swimmingly on laptop i5, geforce 630m, 8gb ram. 1368x768, Vsync off.

Almost constant 60fps, 45fps sometimes during explosion in cutscene.

Pretty interesting so far. Can't wait to play more.

The scalability of the port is really quite something.

 

[Shaneus]

Durante does the OT for this game? Fuck, the industry has come full circle or something.

 

[Moral Panic]

Game wont run for me. Just crashes whenever I try to start it.

Edit: Gedosato was running lol.

 

[Shengar]

My i3 with HD Intel and 2GB laptop can also run it, but then it got hot like a toaster.
Still amazed that it can started at all. Is it the Canvas engine or just a good optimization?

 

[Shiina]

My game has tearing issues, what's the best way to go about fixing them? In game v-sync, driver v-sync, adaptive driver v-sync or something else?

 

[tauke]

I was wondering why there is no voice over sound. Turn out I need to revert back to Stereo from 5.1 channel.

Same problem with XCOM Enemy Unknown lol.

Also I think there is no way to run borderless fullscreen for now. The game keep crashing if I forced borderless fullscreen through GeDoSaTo.

Ensure that you disable borderless fullscreen in you global settings in GeDoSaTo. It keep crashing until I disable it.

Force triple buffering and V-Sync from the driver control panel. It works for me.

Wow, my maxwell gtx 850m Laptop would be able to run this .

Already own the PS3 version. Hmm.

 

[Marche90]

Holy fuck! Game runs like a champ! constant 30 FPS (I was getting 60 in the book menu and during the explanations) during battles on my very lowly Celeron 2955U & Haswell HD graphics at 1280x720. I'm very, very impressed with the quality of the port.

The only issue I had so far is that I had to limit the framerate to 30, since the the game was running at half-speed with the unlocked framerate (According to fraps I was getting 35+ fps but the game was running at half-speed. Limiting the framerate fixed that)

 

[Stone Ocean]

Fuuuuck I wanna go home and play

 

[wmlk]

Wait, so my Haswell Macbook Air can really run this thing perfectly well?

 

[MickeyKnox]

I'm getting random crashes when proceeding through to and from book mode. Just closes instantly. Kind of annoying to lose a bunch of progress that way....

Are you running at more than 4k resolution? If so, I think these are adress space limitations. Try 4k.

 

[TatteredHat]

Best port of 2014? Certainly starting to sound like it.

 

[Shahadan]

Ugh, I didn't know it would be released "early", I'd have woke up earlier.

Thanks, fish.
