PC Gamer UK, I think I love you (SC:CT Demo!)

FFS!:mad: i went out and bought the flipping mag for £6 and the demo keeps crashing at start up! FFS!
 
Just played it through. Its alot of fun to charge up to people standing at a stormy cliff and practically chuck em both off it :p
 
This game REALLY rocks and I will be buying but one question. How do you just push someone away? Whenever I grab them I can either slit their throat or knock them out.

Right/Left (cant remember which) click em when your in front of the d00d :D

Btw, is it me or is the inverted neck snap sound missing :| ?
 
how do u slit their throat,i can just punch them in the back knockin them out or strangle them

No, they just have to be directly under you. There aren't really many areas to do it in the demo, so it's not of incredible use.


You can't slit their throat while holding on to them. When you get near someone, left-click. Depending on your position relative to the enemy, you can slit their throat, stab the knife in their gut, or any number of things, though you can't specifically chose to slice them open across the jugular. A right-click causes Sam to knee, punch or smack them.

Urr, yeah I know :p, theres two places you can do it...I was just wondering can anyone else hear the snapping sound, cause I cant ;(.

The snapping sound in the trailers was so sweet.
 
YAY the game works now! apprently it doesn;t like windowblinds 4 :( so i have to unload them everytime i play it.

anyway where can u do the inverted neck snap?
 
The demo was pretty cool. Nice graphics and pretty polished too. I didn't get the second one, but I'll probably get this.

yeah hopefully the whole game will be as polished and lets hope we dont have a prince of persia warrior within situation where the full games graphics(still excellent) werent as good as the demo.march will be expensive,mgs3,bia,sc:ct
 
The demo was awesome, I didn't play a lot of it. I have a problem:
When a start a new game, the sounds is fine but when I get to the first in-game conversation with Lambert, the sound is really high-pitched and all fast. This happened to me in Prince of Persia: Warrior Within whenever I pressed space to skip a cutscene.

Chaos Theory really looks like a true stealth game. In the old Splinter Cells, you could hide in a slightly shaded area and not get noticed, this is a lot more realistic and enemies actually do more damage and have better A.I. The sound is destroying my enjoyment, but I'm able to get past that.
 
I just noticed i can turn on PS 3.0, which gave me another menu that lets me turn on Parrellex mapping, HDR, Tone Mapping and something about softshadows :bounce:

The game now looks EVEN better. :bounce: :bounce: i'm defo buying this now. but with all these effects on i get on 25fps on my 6800 ultra :( still playable though
 
I noticed that enemies try and fire into an area they think you are hiding in if u are caught. I was able to run around the tent, and stab the guy in the back as he was firing into the area I killed the 1st guard from. Amazing AI

Whats your GFX cards. I believe it has to be a 6600? Or a 6800..probably a 6800... Not sure if 6600 has PS 3.0

how you get those extra options?
 
Goto advanced in the video options, then select it from the drop down menu. Although it appears to me that only the high end geforce cards have the option as my x800 xt pe is stuck on PS1.1. The optoin to change it is greyed out and wont let me change it :(

Correct me if im wrong, but im pretty sure the x800 has PS2.0 atleast as well as support for HDR etc etc

yeah we cant have hardware shadow mapping either as it says so in the readme,my x800xt does support ps2.0 in other games,maybe they screwed us,still looks great though,i wonder how much of a performance hit having ps2.0 would be,im getting between 30-100 fps,usually sticks around 40-50,drops in bigger areas or lit up 1s

My card is a 128 Radeon 9800 pro
 
Yeh as far as i knw only the 6800 range had PS 3.0

All these extra options just take the game to another level. Parrellex Mapping looks awsome, and HDR looks good aswell.
 
What the hell? I let it download and now whenever I click on the file, my computer freezes. :|
 
Whenever I activate PS 3.0 my framerate drops to like 10, very annoying.

3 MINUTES? i make it my LIFE MISSION TO BEAT THAT BASTARD

i bet he did it on easy though cos you have to sneak a lot in any higher difficulty levels
 
I'm seriously into this version of the game now. I skipped PT since I wasn't interested, but this version's got me hooked. Does anyone know if it'll come with a map-making tool? I'm sure PT either came with one, or one got released later for it.

This would be one of the most powerful engines to map for if they released an UnrealEd for it. Hopefully you will be able to make SP maps as well as multiplayer.
