[Paganmoon]

Any info on when Digital Foundry will post their comparisons?

 

[Fordy]

So I played the prologue and just arrived in Jensen's apartment. Taken me 1.5 hours so far, been pretty great so far. Can't want to take to the Prague streets!

 

[BigTnaples]

No, worldwide release apparently.

So what time would that be?

 

[idonteven]

I hope this will answer some questions:

Looks like it will be unlocked on the 23rd August, 0:00 CEST on Steam.

So in 12 hours? That would be cool.

Seems so, I hope this will be true.

I think that's for when people are allowed to post LPs, not when the game unlocks. Kind of ambiguous wording on their part.

Does not mean it will unlock in steam same time.

Crap, you're right, seems that only would count for the LP's and not for the acutal steam unlock time...holy crap SE, this is horrible communication...:/

 

[BigTnaples]

Anyone else not have their GMG key yet?

 

[J4g3r]

4pm unlock time in the UK tomorrow? (Steam)

That's about when I'll get home, perfect timing.

 

[ldcommando]

Lirik is playing this today if anyone is interested in seeing the game running on pc (I guess)

Have you checked your actual account on the site? They didn't send me an email.

 

[glaurung]

I received my Steam key from GMG early Friday EU time (email).

You can check your GMG account page if for some reason the email got junked.

I'm suprised it can use MSAA. I thought they were using deferred rendering ( I have no evidence, just thought it would for this type of game)

I'll be testing out the various AA options. Whatever gets me 60fps is what I'm going to stick too.

Yes it's deferred. MSAA is not impossible with deferred rendering, just more expensive than it is with forward.

To use MSAA with deferred rendering, you just need to make a forward pass separately for MSAA...which makes it more expensove. Kilzone 2 was one of the early examples of modern day deferred rendering and it used QAA which was a form of MSAA by nvidia.

Time to get sick tomorrow after lunch.

Deus Ex by the beginning of the afternoon.
Underlord + Deus Ex announcer in Dota 2 at the evening.

gewd day.

From memory, GTAIV used 2xmsaa on 360, PS3 on the other hand either used qaa or no AA. Did they do some extra work on the 360 version?

 

[lmbotiva]

Can anyone check what does it say on the steam page, the unlock time, for some reason is not letting me view that on my phone ¯_(&#12484_/¯

1 day and 5 hours.

I actually think the game uses clustered forward.

 

[IlGialloMondadori]

Some really good impressions in the deus ex subreddit. Really looking forward to this. HR was one of my favorite games of last gen, probably top 5. It was flawed, but it hit my soft spots better than almost anything - amazing atmosphere, amazing soundtrack, great gameplay, and a very rewarding sense of exploration and world immersion through conversations.

 

[thenexus6]

If anyone has done the "Cult of Personality" mission please PM me. I finished it, but had questions about completing it a certain way. Thanks.

 

[lmbotiva]

1 day and 5 hours.

Thanks, so is not a global release is it? if that tweet is to be believed it should be unlocking at 7pm eastern time but that's way less than 1 day and 5 hours

 

[Kenzodielocke]

The unlock time sucks man. I want to play this at midnight.

 

[Novum_Veritas]

You and me both. And no word by S-E.

I'm in Spain and when I posted it was 12:01pm here. So It would indeed release at 7pm tomorrow (CET timezone).
I suppose it depends where you live.

Im on eastern time, is 6:15am here, 5 hour difference with CET timezone, so if it ends up being a global release it should unlock at 7pm eastern time

So midnight CEST time is 11pm tonight UK time?

 

[Novum_Veritas]

Yup, UK time is GMT +0, so 11 pm.

 

[lmbotiva]

yes

 

[CaptainofIndustry]

Can't wait to play this!!!!

 

[lmbotiva]

how accurate are steam unlock clocks?

 

[ebullientprism]

Pre ordered. I very rarely pre order (last one was Halo Reach) and this is the first time I have done so on Steam. But I loved HR and if this is more of the same I am ok with it.

Not surprising he has been given special rights to stream earlier than embargo is up. He has just too huge audience for publishers to miss out on that marketing push.

Usually it isn't.

 

[Ruff]

Dont get your hopes up too high though. The tweets were talking about a safe date to upload let plays after., not specifically a unlock time.

 

[White Wolf]

it would be very disappointing if we can't play this at midnight, i was already looking forward to playing it later today i guess i'll just have to fucking watch tv or something

 

[ebullientprism]

Not surprising he has been given special rights to stream earlier than embargo is up. He has just too huge audience for publishers to miss out on that marketing push.

He is also pretty blunt about the games that he is playing. So if the game performs like shit, expect to hear about it.

 

[Shari]

To be honest its ridiculous that 12h away from the date a game gets released we don't know the exact release time.

FFS it's 2016. Publishers get your shit together and Steam please make a countdown clock that is better than an estimate.

Steam says 29 hours. So I'd assume that's a fairly safe bet for digital at least.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Man. Just do a clear tweet on when this game will unlock on Steam. It's not that fucking hard.

PC graphics comparison, from low, medium, high and ultra.

Ultra halfs your fps.

 

[White Wolf]

lol that would almost be the 24th. sigh

 

[Novum_Veritas]

I already tweeted the official Twitter account, but no response as of yet.
Not sure if they care anyway.

 

[Mifec]

That's when games usually release on Steam.

 

[Tovarisc]

Console version most likely unlocks at midnight, just how it usually is. Question now is if publisher fucks PC userbase over and have wait extra day. I was looking towards starting at 12AM CEST tonight.

That's when games usually release on Steam.

Expect when release is supposed to be global and coordinated around single region

 

[White Wolf]

That's when games usually release on Steam.

almost a day after the official release date? it doesn't make sense. that's like demanding australia and new zealand can't start the new year until it's 1/1 in the us.

 

[packy34]

I honestly expect the standard 1pm EST Tuesday unlock time, only because I don't trust Square Enix enough to give a shit about release timing.

 

[ReplacementPelican]

My copy just arrived and I only ordered it Friday night! Based Shoppe2.

Thing is, I registered the game with Sqeenix and they haven't given me a code yet, can I find it anywhere?
