It's pretty strange to mention a specific month you think a game shipped, and be over a year off.

EDIT: Brad just said SS2 looks 'unplayable' visually, fucking hell.

Total bullshit. Played the game to completion a few months ago and even wrote a lttp thread for it. It doesn't look supergreat but with texture mods and new weapon models it looks fine.

It was all I could do to keep watching when he said Deus Ex was "barely playable" before they installed the texture pack.

I can't even comprehend that kind of mindset.
 
PATRICK SKIPPED BOTH "I VANTED ORANGE, IT GAVE ME LEMON-LIME" AND "MY VISION IS AUGMENTED"


i take back every good thing i've ever said about him
 
Their Deux Ex install must have been fucked up because the game kept skipping dialog, pretty weird. Anyway it's gonna be very interesting seeing their reactions when they play Human revolution.

The DX10 mod apparently has that issue since it's running the game faster than it was meant to be played.

There's some kind of fix involving V-Sync, which I think they had turned off.

There is a latency/delay setting in the launcher that you have to change so it works properly. Takes like a few seconds of google to find the solution.
 
Awesome deus ex throwback quicklook. I am one of the terrible people on this forum who has never played it, despite having looked at it way too many times in the game shop. Could see myself playing it one day even if I hate shooting like that.

Are they going to do a Quick look of E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy?
My hidden spy camera I put in the Whiskey Media offices hasn't picked up anything having to do with E.Y.E. yet. I'll let you know if it spots anything related.

Thanks, I thought they said they were going to do one but maybe I'm mistaken.

P.s How much for uncut footage of Ryan/Drew? Just, you know, for my collection...

The man suggested that the writing was "dated" he the tiny amount he saw whilst he's recently praised L.A. Noir which suffers from terrible writing throughout. I flat out can't understand some of the things Brad says.

They mention it in the QL but they didn't say they'd be doing one. Although I'd love to see it. I really need to see more of that game before I can bite.
 
I'd love to say Deus Ex' visual design has aged terribly, but then again I remember playing it when it came out and thinking it looked pretty terrible. It's still such an interesting game.
 
Max Payne 1 came out less than a year after Deus Ex and looks about a hundred times better. Played both recently, and I found it mind blowing how good Max Payne still looks on PC. Dem textures.

Both are amazing games though. They're consistently tied for my favorite game of all time

What always annoyed me about Max Payne were the ridiculous architectural proportions. The houses, garages, rooms, doorways and corridors must have been designed by a squat giant. I know that was a workaround to allow for the camera and the gameplay to move and continue unhindered. It just looked so weird.

Deus Ex wasn't a looker back then either but the gameplay is godlike.

How on Earth do they still have screen tearing issues on PC Quick Looks?

It's been going on for so long you'd think they'd have some sort of fix for it by now, but no. It's so jarring to watch.

it depends on the games. they tend to get screentearing in the same FMV sections that i see when i play the game ex: The Witcher intro movie
