what a disgrace... even with HDR and shadows is just a 2004 game... and the xboxis strugling to run it

btw. i played episode 1 with a ocd 6600GT + amd 64 3000 + 1gb

1024 x 768 All detail settings set to the highest ( HDR, Reflect all, 4xAA)

constant 65 / 85 FPS

Port from the PC to simultaneous PS3 and 360 platforms. Though I did expect a constant 60fps.Hoobinator

Id say thats the developers fault not the 360's. The 360 can obviously run stuff better than HL2 so it shouldnt have a problem running it at all.

im confused, where's the link to a reliable source?skixwolf

That's pretty freakin bad for the consoles :? BTW, how do you check how many FPS you are currently running the game at?

I think 60fps is a pretty low expectation for a 3 year-old game. 60fps is the bare minimum.
Dreams-Visions

actually 60fps is max, as a tv (HD lcd crt whatever u want) only refreshes 60times a second, so any more fps will not actually be visible

Of course there is NO chance that it's the devs fault and that they merely didn't port it the best they could. :roll:Verge_6

They probably didn't your right, just sucks for those who can only play it on consoles. It'll be the same deal for PS3 users also.

that's fine, but that's not the max the hardware should be able to generate. maybe that's the max you'll be able to see, but there's no reason in hell the hardware should not be able to pump out 60fps MINIMUM.

...and lets not forget many people play on PC monitors. bottom line: for this hardware, anything less than 60fps for a 3 year old game is simply unacceptable.

What's so bad about 30fps anyways? Wasn't that the norm last-gen?Verge_6

[QUOTE="Verge_6"]What's so bad about 30fps anyways? Wasn't that the norm last-gen?Dreams-Visions

True, but if it doesn't run at a constant 60fps, does that really kill the game?

LOl it runs at 200-300 fps on my PC.smokeydabear076

my current pc run it faster. e6600 / 2GB/ 8800GTS btw

Yeah well, its to bad it wont play smoothly, but its also not a big deal considering the game will be playing ocmparable to the highest PC settings. also for Dreams-Visions 60fps being a bare minimum is a kind of strange thing to say considering you cant even nnotice a difference in fps after a certain point, and that certain point is less than 60 fps.

its like when Sony talked about 180 fps... it sounds cool but means nothing.

No. But it's the principle. if my 1.5 year old laptop with a 256MB graphics card in it can push 100+fps, why should we not expect 60+fps from a 512MB system designed for and asked to do nothing but run games?

It's the principle.

It's not the hardware's fault that the devs weren't able to pull off a perfect port...

You people keep missing the point. You're fine with 30fps, that's great and dandy. But PC's with much lesser hardware than that of the 360 are maxxing the game out with a higher framerate. That's the point, which is quite sad actually.

ok, now what?Heil68

[QUOTE="BioShockOwnz"]I'm fine with 30fps. :|Dreams-Visions

I'm a PC gamer, and even I don't care. I have come to expect console games to run at 30-60fps, and I'm completely fine with that.

agreed. shoot the devs. or better yet: send a message by NOT buying the game.

denial. what is mor plausible? all the devs are incompetent / teir fault or the 360 is just not that good?

i think the 360 is and unbalanced console. capable of good graphics if the world has the size of a peanut, and the enemy's have the ai of hl1.

Hi,

Orange Box is scheduled to DROP on 10/9/2k7 for the 360. It will probably get delayed eleventy-billion times....or not. I'm guessing that this 30FPS stuff is a bunch of CRAP!!!! Why are we discussing this nonsense? Also, if you have a decent pc, then do not buy Orange Box for a console. Buy it on STEAM, GOSH!!!!

It's obviously a bad port job.

Will that be the case when it runs at 30fps on PS3? Most PS3 games run at 30fps. Is that because it's an unbalanced console?

HL2 was on the original Xbox and was at 30 FPS. Now 3 years later it's still at 30 FPS on the 360? It can't be the hardware, it has to be the developer.

Seeing as I've had the game installed on my PC for the past 3 years, I had no intentions of buying it in the first place.

It's annoyingly obvious that it's going to have all the graphical upgrades that are in Ep 2 so it's not really the same game that came out 3 years ago.

But still.. I think it should run faster.
