Widescreen Gaming Forum

Hi, two days before release of this hack and slash gem (from the creators of Diablo, Diablo 2, Fate etc.) - Torchlight - I just would like to inform that in this thread (http://www.runicgamesfansite.com/2009/10/forum-tidbits-185-dev-comments-in-8-days-part-3/) devs informed about resolution support ...

There will not be even list of servers, just service IWnet, that will "intelligently" connect you to the game with adequately skilled players. Shame on Activision-Blizzard (the owner of Infinity Ward).

Brand new LG 32LH3000 here :) I am very happy about it. Games, 1080p movies, TV in one package.

Only 1 day before release of this Jewel (in my opinion). I also would like to see Guybrush more fat (as he was fatter - he had normal proportions in original game, now he is too thin) but I still think everything will be huge positive step up from the level of detail of the original (that I played ...

2K Games plan to do bigger promotion for Mafia 2 then for any of its past games (Bioshock, Sid Meier's Civilization IV, Prey, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion..) .. as I read in Interview with developers in one Czech preview. So we should hear about Mafia 2 quite a lot in next months (more trailers ...

make sure to download those 2 trailers in HD from official site - cutscenes look gorgeous and if there will be more then 2 hours of it (+ minimally 15-20 hours of gameplay), it will be awesome

the only information about sys. req. as far as i know was mentioned in one of interviews ...

thx for great preview...

here is another Mafia 2 video (it shows also how it looks inside 2K czech studio .. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xqX-mRYeYA)

Starting with today, information embargo in Czech rep. is lifted and lots of previews and interviews are revealing, so to sum up the most important informations (as i see it):

- game will not be action oriented, but story and atmosphere oriented
- in every mission where you will face an ...

It will be more about story then about shooting, i believe the story and logical puzzles, and superb cutscenes will make the game outstanding - as devs said once - the game will be like a movie. The game wil not have as open world as GTA4 (come anywhere you want and start any mission) but more ...

first post after year or so :)

so Mafia 2 should be out at the end of this year (autumn 2009). There are rumors that the team is working hard but it will be tight for them to catch that term, however the publisher (and also new owner of Illusion Softworks - 2K games) ensured their stockholders ...

Multiplayer is actually quite fun (both deathmatch and power struggle). I have been into it on several maps and there are possibilities how to annoy other people:

1, in deathmatch - jump somewhere on the roof and camp there and snipe them OR hide in a bush behind fence on the border of the map ...

Note the high numbers, I thought it is a video, who knows how FMV works?
I have a guess. Since it's FMV, each frame is extremely simple for your GPU to render - it really only has to draw one big rectangle for each frame. Let's pretend that this FMV is 24 frames per second. Each frame lasts 1 ...

Tutorial (menu is in czech localisation ...

the second one is *old* tutorial that does not represent the quality of widescreen in multiplayer.
So is there a *new* tutorial in its place or something?

No, I meant old = low quality looking, different voice then in game, big red letters, probably made ages (months) ago.

The decision ...

there are no story FMVs but there are "training" ones for multiplayer and they are vert- or atlest look it since the top and bottem of the hud in the FNVs are cut off

I thought that it is just video, and now I see it ...

ad 3.) yeah, but level design was superb - climbing / going down the mountain while it was snowing from your back and well, I did not mind running from fire to fire with Prophet.

What I do wonder is, will Prophet be somehow invlolved in Crysis II as a bad guy f.e. alien inside of human body ...

I did! Answers:

ad 1.) Crysis will be trilogy, no real ending here.

ad 2.) That is OK with me. Masterpiece does not need to have the nicest level the longest. That is what I admire on Crysis - it does not try to prolong everything that is in there, they give you taste of it, and then the ...
