I had no problems whatsoever with dmc3 nor with dmc4, although it took me a while to figure out how to set the controller the right way...

I think I had to change something somewhere along the files, and then itwokrked perfectly, let me do a quick search about it and see if I can help you any further....

[QUOTE="Nighteg"]Maybe I'm blind, but the MW pics above look way better.zomglolcats
I agree. The STALKER pics were VERY grainy. The character model wasn't that great either.

Oh you beat me to it. I havent played any of them, so I'm not camparing them.

Im trying to explain only with what I see from the screenies so it's going to be hard to explain... here it goes anyway:

It has 2 problems,

1. The trees, the grass the texturesandthe world in general seem THAT sharp that makes it feel like everything is pasted with glue.

2.The textures havelike thisrandompixels all around that make the textures look unfinished or maybe just thought too muchfor general use... thus making the "wood"for example not really fit into the world.

What seems to be the problem (at least on still images) is thatso called grain. WhichI think is how the engine works, rendering each pixel (even from the textures)into the world calculating stuff on theflyis whatmakes the everything look grainy. So not loading the texture completely and then apply to a model and then the calculating stuff (light, etc.)is what creates the effect.Thats why the textures look like the old models that were created froma block of textures andsince this modelshave a ton they notfit that well...

IDK if it has Ambient oclussion.But it looks like if it has, it doesn't affect the textures and/or the textures don't have any shader info into them, thus making the texture low quality.

That how I think it works, and why maybe only in motion looks better. I maybe incorrect small or big time,I know, but is how it may work.

Only a focus change in the engine can make it look better.

My 2 cents

I've got to go with Thief 3's Cradle, although Thief''s Cathedral level was also brilliant.Planeforger

yup that's a good one... also the first time you enter the mine in thief...

and how bout Penumbra... the whole thing is scary... i'd put it as one of the most...(I think it has the feel of silent hill 1)

It doesn't surprise me.

In fact, I wish more developers would look at revamping some of their older games for a modern audience. The revamps of the original Prince Of Persia, Bionic Commando Rearmed and Special Edition of Secret Of Monkey Island have all been successful, and personally I think they're great. They basically retained much of the core gameplay mechanics, while updating the graphics and making them playable on modern hardware without a fuss.

A lot of older games could benefit from this kind of treatment.

It's hard to explain since I've always wanted to have a new Magic Carpet...the same with new graphx, or at least just the same with resolution support...

AndI wouldn't be surprised if they did, I'd say...I'd be one of the happiest persons in the world... =)

[QUOTE="pvtdonut54"][QUOTE="psn8214"]

I don't feel like on playing Arma 2, but do playing Unreal Tournament III... :?

JigglyWiggly_

What level bots can you handle? i can beat them up to adept.

I can destroy masterful :D

I'm rusty now, but with some practice I can win in a 1v1 vsGodlike bot, I end up alltense... the best thing is that I recorded it =)

But topic wise? Sure there are some games that just make you feel like that... CoH bots in hardest is one of them... not to mention online... and most strategy games do that for me, and I really needpractice to get good at them...

PC gaming is weak and WILL become weaker. but never dies. because there are enough awesome exlusive old games form past to keep it up. there are still people who are interested in old games {like myself} and play them with PC.herzalot

If even today there are ppl who still play NES,C64, or even Atari... you do the math...

Well, from my experience, I noticedsome timeago, that withpcs that struggle (even a bit),the input is the one that pays, andtends to get laggy. If you don't have the recommended pc turn down the visuals and youshould see an increase on the response time, controller wise.

About the Slowpoke guy inside the car... well IDK since I don't have the game XD but im getting it in a few days

As topic reads...

PLEASE! BE OBJECTIVE WITH YOUR ANSWER,

I never got to play this nor the first, +, now I'm not actually that happy about the old graphics and if gameplay does not justify them,I'mnot playing itXD

Also another question... How does it fair to today's standards gameplay wise?

Thanks
