It's pretty cool that this is actually coming out on PC after years of anticipation, the excitement is infectious. Hope it lives up to the hype.

(Clearly very different games, but) It seemed that Vanquish didn't click with a lot of people in a similar way to Quantum Break, both technically being cover-based TPSs but not actually meant to be played like one.

Fair comparison. On the surface they both look like cover shooters but are not.

Is it a good game this time?

 

[GhostTrick]

Aahh. Thanks to everyone for the info! I have this preconceived notion (more of a dream!) That someone will find a zoomed in image of the leather of Ryo Hazukis brown jacket in Shenmue haahaa.

Don't do that to me :")

 

[KingBroly]

This will be me:

*Plays Campaign at 90fps

*Plays Challenge 6 at 10fps

 

[Shaneus]

lol 60fps = butter smooth? hahaha

 

[Shaneus]

What? I thought it was midnight. Argh.

 

[GavinUK86]

lol 60fps = butter smooth? hahaha

Yes

 

[Psychoward]

The thread title is horrible.

Mediocre OT title.

Wrong.

 

[Izuna]

144hz for sure for me

 

[Kssio_Aug]

lol 60fps = butter smooth? hahaha

It isn't anymore?

 

[Akronis]

Stuck at work. Y'all better update this thread with how it is.

Hoping mouse movement and frame pacing aren't poop.

 

[sixteen-bit]

It isn't anymore?

PC version has an unlocked framerate so u know folks are gonna flex.

 

[Skyzard]

Is this a game that will be better with a mouse? I was planning on going in with a pad...guess I'll give both a try, didn't even think about aiming.

Everything is provided free-of-charge, even retail keys. The only money Valve takes is its 30% cut of Steam Store/in-game Steam Wallet transactions.

Hmm, so they just didn't organise a pre-load? Or maybe steam has to approve it...

Shouldn't be a big deal for me personally, could be a lot worse than 20gb!


45 mins!

The former. The app hasn't been touched in over 48 hours, so there really should have been one, regardless of the download size.

Baby steps for Sega I guess.

Thanks for the info.

I'm sure that Vanquish at modern PC gaming will easily make more than 60 fps. But I don't think rock solid 60 frames per second will ever stop being "butter smooth" (or whatever term we may use for very smooth gameplay). Sure, on PC there's always room for improvement, but 60 frames per second is pretty good already, and since most people still uses 60hz monitor....

 

[Messofanego]

Go!

 

[GurgleBot20]

Please have good KB+M controls.

I want to shoot while sliding without it feeling awkward.

 

[Trojan X]

Badass thread! Congrats! The only thing missing is the PC trailer and mentioning that the Vanquish gameplay craps over Gears: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLtZXu8eGZ4


Please update the OP, OP!

Yeah I hope there's no baked in mouse acceleration. That would ruin it.

 

[Mechazawa]

There's PC footage out in the wild now. Look at dem fuckin' hertz, baby.

 

[Run-M-Run]

Wait, this is actually happening?!?!? OH BOY

60fps is great but I think most people don't understand just how much smoother 120hz really is. The amount of motion blur alone when you directly compare 60 & 120 is instantly visible and even more so when you look into things like lightboost.

All of my friends were on 60hz monitors until they seen 120hz and most of them would have been in the "60 is good enough" crowd.

 

[robotrock]

Yes

144fps or bust brehs

"Take a look at how amazing Vanqish's PC port looks in beautiful 1080p and well over 60fps."

well over 60fps.

YES

 

[robotrock]

that gamespot footage looks wrong

Unfortunately, even at 120hz monitor, it's not easy to achieve 120 fps on PC without a very decent hardware, except at those more outdated games and some others that for whatever reason has an exceptional performance.

I'm obvisously not saying we can't get better than 60fps, but that's still a very good performance. On consoles we barely have 30 in many cases. lol

 

[robotrock]

gonna Flex my way outta 30fps 720p vanquish zone in less than an hour

 

[onken]

144fps or bust brehs

*brofist* (at 144hz, obviously)

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

"Take a look at how amazing Vanqish's PC port looks in beautiful 1080p and well over 60fps."

well over 60fps.

YES

Beautiful 1080p

What year is this

 

[Mrstriker09]

when is it out??

 

[JaseC]

when is it out??

In approximately 15 minutes.

 

[CadetMahoney]

lol 60fps = butter smooth? hahaha

 

[Jampsuliini]

Sooooon. My 1070 can't reach 165 frames in many games, so I'm excited to see what it feels like playing a action game like Vanquish in such a high fps.

Wonder how many fps I could get with that.

 

[coughlanio]

My 1440p 165hz monitor is ready. This is going to be great.

Please don't be a crap port.

 

[robotrock]

you think 60fps is butter smooth? it's more like, margarine smooth

 

[fantomena]

Might just go 4k if Nvidia DSR works with the game. Going 1080p 60 FPS on a GTX 1080 feels bad.
