I watched a machinima series about ID and if what they say in it is true then I can kind of see why they went the big publisher route. It says they were finding it hard to keep developing new tech and games based on that tech in a timely fashion with such a small independent studio. Whether...
It ran for you dude, doesn't mean everybody were as lucky as you. The game had problems for people on launch, that's the point I was making. Besides, Bethesda have said they are on the case of restoring the graphics settings to the PC version and fixing the texture pop in. AMD are fixing their...
Woah, hang on a minute. I never said it was acceptable to have these issues out the door, only that the fix is a minor one. Editing script/code? Really? Adding a config file with 4 lines is considered to much for a PC owner? Considering how many problems other games have on release (Fallout New...
Maybe so, or that they were entirely console focused but either way a few cfg commands aren't the big deal the gaming media seem to be making out of all of this.
The initial graphic corruption came from AMD's screw up with their drivers and Nvidia owners not being up to date with theirs. The texture popping is fixed with a .cfg file with a few commands in. Nothing that would indicate thay've rushed the game out, only that a texture streaming bug in...
You're right, there is no excuse and they were probably to console focused to do any proper testing on the PC version, but Bethesda have promised they are working on the pop-in problem and given the studios size it should get resolved fairly quickly. At the moment I can put up with the minimal...
Played this earlier and it ran like shite and had an amazing amount of pop in. Then I looked at my drivers and realised that they are around a year old. Changed to the Nvidia battlefield 3 beta drivers and now the game runs at a silky smooth 60fps with V-sync and AA on and the texture pop in is...
TBH I thought Noels solo stuff was arse until he released "If I Had A Gun" which is amazing. Apart from that one track though I still prefer some of Beady Eyes stuff to Noels.
EDIT:- Noels YouTube have just put up the b-side to AKA...What A Life! and it's amazing, surprised it's not going to be...
No, and it need not affect them, but when your character is layed on the floor and has a xeno on top of him trying to pierce his skull, then the marines escape method is to blow him off him with a shotgun with absolutely no consequence it just looks ridiculous. The movies spent so much time...
A few things I noticed:
1. Blood in General looks like shit.
2. Has Pitchford not realised that if you shoot an alien that is above you you're going to get acid splashback. Fan of the series eh?
3. Pulse rifle sounds are horrible.
4. The alien movement in ops is quite clearly scripted, advanced...
