Turning point fall of liberty comes out tomorrow anybody heard of it/ waiting for it?
its story seems similar to world in conflict but its activision same as COD4 so it has to be good right? :wink: :wink:

Addendum:

http://www.yougamers.com/news/17833_assassins_creed_min_requirements_updated/

just an update about Assassins Creed they changed the scary requirements so maybe we'll be able to play it.
is it just me or did the Graphics Card go up?

I don't think they actually changed the game any.

They re-phrased the requirements. Instead of crazy-high CPU to balance off a "crappy" video card, they raised the video card and dropped the CPU some.
 
Ohh i might be able to play it now. Wait. Still dont have a Core 2 Duo. Only a P4 so i dont think i could play it still....

darn. Wanted to at least view the game...
 
never heard of that game you talked of Ronin

and i too am still out of reach of the Creed :frowning: however if i want to, i can play it at my friends room.

LAN PARTY!! IN FOUR DAYS! (friday) OH YES!

I just read that Far Cry 2 has been delayed all the way till september
anyone hear anything like that?
Plus Assassins Creed supposedly is delayed till April 8th not that much of a delay but still
 
i have no idea about any of that but i tried playing far cryy on the laptop have and i couldnt tell the difference between the sand and the beach and if i put it on high settings theres like a halfhour delay between the sound of the bullet and impact so i quit in the end i also havent been able to play halo2 cod 2,3,4 portal or any other good games i think i need a new computer
p.s. i trie opening the portal song attachment and it tells me http 404 not found what the heck?
 
From what i have heard Ron!n you are correct. Both games ahve been delayed. Assassin's Creed was delayed so that they can bring down the requirements to play. There was a massive outcry on this.

Far Cry 2 has been delayed for a while now. :tongueout:

But yes AFAIK that is also a confirmed rumor.
 
Do you think two weeks is enough for them to lower the requirements enough?
Wouldnt that require modifying the engine?
And i guess Far Cry 2 was delayed because Ubisoft announced high earnings, but what that has to do with it i dont know.

They don't need to rewrite the engine to lower the requirements - they just have to lower the settings.

For instance, they drop the models from a million polygons each (the number of "regions" in a given object) to 750,000. They configure the shader to be less precise. They tell the engine not to FSAA too far ahead, etc.

So it's just re-configuring the implementation of the engine, not the engine itself.
 
@ Guru and Ronin

the major reason the PC version of AC is so damn high on requirements, is due to how much different it is compared to its console based version. They upped the FPS, they added hundred's+ NPC' in a city (note that on the 360, their are already a couple hundred of people in a level).

they upped the FPS in COD4 too, from the 360 version, which had a cap at 32 FPS (or whatever movie quality is)

Exactly. I had experience, while putting the level together, while running it my screen would just freeze and HDD would go on loading and nothing would happen. And I was wondering why does it do that, why it doesn't go on normally. Well, the answer was in hi-res textures and unoptimized models :tongueout: Thats when I learned to delete unneeded polygons and to use normal size textures (512x512 or 1024x1024) instead of monster of data that my PC and and even stronger then my PC couldn't "swallow" (textures 25xx X 17xx, about 30 different ones of those in a level :happy:smile:.
