  1. Anyone playing the open beta? If so add me - same user name
  2. Both. From what I see in the videos, you can command AI squads in the manner of Brothers in Arms now. Would be interesting if they can carry this over into MP
  3. Been jaded by FPS in general, but I'm looking forward to this! I play RO Darkest Hour mod once in a while
  4. I'll let you know when I get into the main battle, but the tutorials are fine, but not much units in them I know TOW1 was laggy with lots of units on a P4...
  5. yes turing off AA in the control panel fixed it so there is some issue with the AA?
  6. Yeah but you will need a new power supply for a new video card for the special plugs they require for power. Most of them require 2 power connections My Gainward 7800GS++ (7900GT) does. I used a 380w PSU on it for a while, using an adaptor to get the required plugs, but I could no longer overclock my system as high as I used to and then the socket that connects to the mainboard eventually melted replaced the mainbaord with a 2nd hand unit from ebay and board a Corsair HX-620 600w PSU. Awesome power supply, and near silent. Gave me all the extra plugs and connections I needed along with a modular design so you can unhook any plugs you don't need
  7. it's off.... I get these giant filled out squares. I'm not the only, others have the same problem....
  8. funny thing is, with HDR on the demo looks fine but if I turn it off, I get a weird ghosting issue!
  9. never mind I saw a button to invert it
  10. fastest ATI AGP card is the 3850 HD. There are no Nvidia equalients speed wise it's pretty cheap these days. And even with a P4 the speed difference is noticable. It'll be like 5 times faster than your current card
  11. makes thing look better basicly better contrast, bloom, highlights but with older Nvidia cards AA will stop working
  12. is there anyway to reverse the mouse scroll wheel to zoom in and out? The way it works is the total opposite to how my brain likes it I like forward scroll to zoom in, and scroll back to zoom out. In TOW2 demo it's the opposite
  13. if you have an older Nvidia card, HDR and AA doesn't work together
  14. An ATI 3850HD comes in AGP format and is the last and fastest of the AGP cards I still have a Pentium 4 3.2ghtz machine with a 7900GT 512megs ram and I can run most recent games just fine
  15. I found this - video of TOW2 Grant
  16. what doesn't it rain anyway...? Radioactive rain FTW! typing "fov 90" in the console "~" has saved my eyes and a headache!
  17. I just hold down the change camera/view key - whatever you have assigned it to, and then move the mouse --- I recommned the interface mod, increase the numbers of lines/smaller fonts to get rid of the console feel - the usual Oblivion type mods
  18. My character - with and without hockey mask P4 3ghz, 1 gig and 7900gt AGP with 512megs - video card is o/c to just under 7900GTX levels. Old system..... I put it together a year before HL2 came out runs ok at medium setting, 1280x960, but I tweaked things and turned shadows off (doesn't make a lot of difference unlike other games) and actor distance to max, and it averages about 28 fps with 8xAnsio, no AA, and with HDR. in the busier outdoor areas. And can shoot up to 40-65 in other areas. No HDR+AA together with my gen of video card like Obvilion. Actually runs similar to Oblivion, maybe a little better optimised More ram is better though to get rid of the judders when it's caching It didn't set me on fire at first, but it's growing on me like a tumour A bit too grey for my tastes visually I played through the start section once, saved that away and did few test runs through with different character builds, to get a feel for things and get rid of the noob errors, some with god mode on... press ~ and type "tgm" on a PC now I'm doing it properly and slowly savouring each location properly. Man it really feels like I am Legend movie loving the sawn off shotty and hunters rifle what I like is seeing, is trader caravan and other NPC traveling on their own in the land. I sometimes follow them as they move about slowly, and pick up the loot from the creatures/attackers they encounter and kill or when I get attacked run away and lead the attackers into some of these other NPC and watch the fight although it's not a common occurance as you'd expect
  19. Aussie voices = awesome I spam their voice commands like nothing
  20. Maxis has made some Spore prototypes available for download [commercial link edited]
  21. some real creative types out there! PNG
  22. Gamasutra has an interesting (and in-depth!) interview with Soren Johnson regarding Spore Interview: Soren Johnson - Spore's Strategist http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/3722/interview_soren_johnson__spores_.php
  23. A new, 63 minute long demonstration of Spore (Don't worry, the english narration starts a few minutes later) http://www.vimeo.com/1438941 even more info unleased! hmm your allies in creature stage, ones you befriend - evolve along with you
  24. Cell stage presentation http://www.gametrailers.com/player/36760.html?type=%20Tribal 3 game difficulty levels. I like the time line display as well
