Wanted: Weapons of Fate Demo in TripleHead ...

Post by **Paddy the Wak** » 25 Mar 2009, 01:43

The demo fired up in my desktop res ...
This was all that was in the Display options ... :shock:

The HUD is a bit large but it is over on the right hand screen ... so it didn't bother me too much.

Huh, I didn't know that there was a demo for this game... I liked the movie, and I was thinking about purchasing this...

That's really weird on the options screen, though. There's no advanced setup or anything? More options in the .ini, maybe?

Is it any good? What is it, a 3rd person shooter?

Yeah, the options menu is just res... might be able to force AA and AF though, I didn't try.

As for the game, it's fun and somewhat unique with the bullet mechanics and such, but it's not worth $50.

Sorry Blue and M1.9p ... it was very late and I was trying to fit it in before going to bed ... :P

Yeah that's all I could find in the way of graphics settings ... no advanced settings and I couldn't find any config file either.

It is a 3rd person shooter ... using cover, bullet time and this thing where you can curve the path of the bullets.
Throughout the demo all I had was dual pistols ... I couldn't find a way to pick up weapons in the demo ... maybe the demo is supposed to be like this/maybe I was being thick ... :lol:

There was also no crosshair ... I'm sure I've seen shots with a crosshair so maybe that is a TH issue I'm not entirely sure.
I tried to change the res/aspect ratio to see if there was a crosshair for single screen resolutions but each time it crashed to desktop.

All in all I liked the gameplay but I hear the full game is very short ... :(

I had a huge reticule circle but no actual crosshair... the bullets hit anywhere within the reticule and are not "mouse precise," which sucks.

Considering the quality of most film tie-ins, I was pleasantly surprised!

Mm mixed bag of reviews, might try the demo anyway, thanks.

Got this on sale and it's pretty nice game. Well, the dialog isn't that great, but the shooting is fun. Reminds me of Max Payne games.

Unfortunately, the crosshair is totally missing for me (5760x1080). Any idea how I could get it back? :)
