Ant-Shimmin Posted June 2, 2007 Posted June 2, 2007 Who got this? I got the PC version, My pc isn't good enough to get the most out of it, however I am enjoying the interactivity between 360 and PC. Very Promising.. Thoughts?
Guest Jordan Posted June 2, 2007 Posted June 2, 2007 Who got this? I got the PC version, My pc isn't good enough to get the most out of it, however I am enjoying the interactivity between 360 and PC. Very Promising.. Thoughts? Same as you, however i run the game completely maxed out at 1440X900. I love it when people get the cross play achievement and they're like "woahh who's on "VEESTA". I hooked up my wired 360 pad and headset for audio chat, which is fun.

Yeah I was expecting way more problems, but it is very slick and smooth, maybe they could release an application for us Vista users to use the "Live Guide" on our desktops. Instead of having to open the game I was the same with that achievement as well! Got a few thanks along the way May I ask what Specs your pc is running on, just for comparison of course? I have a 1GBRam -Using ReadyBoost to compensate 256 Mem Graphics 2.80ghz Dual Core 130GB HD Going to get extra RAM tommorow, the game runs okay like but it is very choppy sometimes and affects the experience dramatically

Bluejay Posted June 2, 2007 Posted June 2, 2007 Still on the fence with this one. User reviews are good, other reviews not so. Looks fun, lack of content. Every good point seems to balance out with a negative. I guess I'll wait for IGN review and demo and decide from there.
DiemetriX Posted June 2, 2007 Posted June 2, 2007 I really like it. But like many games it's not worth it's cost. Gonna play a lot tomorrow.

Dan_Dare Posted June 2, 2007 Posted June 2, 2007 I literally know nothing of this game, but i see the name everywhere. synopsis and piccies anyone?
Ant-Shimmin Posted June 2, 2007 Author Posted June 2, 2007 I literally know nothing of this game, but i see the name everywhere. synopsis and piccies anyone? Bascially It's just an online game with no single player , it's an fps where you use a combination of Magic, Technology to basically protect or steal the objective. It has no real substance to the story line and it is not expanded upon. You can play with both Windows Vista + 360 users, if you have a Gamertag already you can use that if you get the PC version. Abilites, to summon monsters, teleport through walls Pros: It's a different FPS, endless possibilites Cons: No Single Player, overpriced, crap on the PC, 360 users have a clear advantages ________________________________________ My mate says it's 10x better on 360 and without playing it, if it's anything the PC version isn't he is right. 360 Gameplay
Guest Jordan Posted June 2, 2007 Posted June 2, 2007 Cons: crap on the PC, 360 users have a clear advantages What? Eh? The PC version is exactly the same as the 360 version, due to my mouse i'm always at the top of game score tables. Any 'clear advantage' you could just get a wired 360 pad and use that. Are you just having major proformance problems or something? Because i'm easily getting a solid 60fps (using vsync to get rid of screen splitting).
McPhee Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 Im interested in this game too. Will probably wait for Shopto to get it back in stock then order for £30
Guest Stefkov Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 I'll have a look at some screen shots, check out what the hell happens in it then decide if its worth a purchase.
Bluejay Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 I'll have a look at some screen shots, check out what the hell happens in it then decide if its worth a purchase. Demo. June 6th. Do eet.

It's just the general consensus I have found among gamers, however with your advanced specs I'd imagine your not finding any differerence
Guest Stefkov Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 Ah demo in 3 days. I shall see what its like then.
McPhee Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 Who has bought/will be buying this then? Im probs gonna trade crackdown in this afternoon and come home with either this of Guitar Hero
Bluejay Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 Who has bought/will be buying this then? Im probs gonna trade crackdown in this afternoon and come home with either this of Guitar Hero Probably gonna get it. But not for a while, end of June I think. Post exams and holiday.
McPhee Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 I just bought it. £32 from Tesco! Gamestation offered me £12 trade for Crackdown, cheap bastards
Calza Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 I just bought it. £32 from Tesco! Gamestation offered me £12 trade for Crackdown, cheap bastards Well think about it, the beta is almost over
Shift Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 I played the demo on my 360 and enjoyed it, although i would have preffered to use a good ol' keyboard and mouse setup, is a PC demo out yet, ive looked and didnt find one. Ill probably pick this up for my PC when i get an xbox live membership, i currently dont have one cause the 360 doesnt have a game i want to play online, yet.
McPhee Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 You can play on PC without Live membership, it's just against PC players instead of PC and 360 players
Marshmellow Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 This game sounds pretty awesome but I'm still not sure if I want to pick it up. Could somebody compare it to some other X360 FPSs?
Ant-Shimmin Posted June 25, 2007 Author Posted June 25, 2007 This game sounds pretty awesome but I'm still not sure if I want to pick it up. Could somebody compare it to some other X360 FPSs? Shit compared to COD 2, Which IMO is the best FPS on the 360. If you can get it for less then £20 for 360 It's a good price.
