Deus Ex

I wasn't sure if I was going to pick this up on release or not. But then I found out I have the week after release off; my hands are tied :p

Although we don't get it until Friday here in the UK, unfortunately.

I just pre ordered the vanilla on steam. $45

As for PC, apprently Ars Technica thought that was the best version after playing a pre-release demo

I face a similar dilema. My laptop will def run it, but I'm not sure how well.

Be handy if there was an official demo kicking about to test.

The fact it was a console port makes me feel a little better about the 360 version. No doubt it looks better on PC like you said ALP, but the graphics department is where my PC is lacking already :p

What are your specs?

Mine too :)

Intel Core i5 430M @ 2.27GHz
4GB RAM
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650
Win7 SP1

I managed Crysis with 2/3rds of settings maxed. Aside from the last level on the boat, that wasn't a very nice experience for me or the laptop. I tried the Brink demo on Steam recently, it didn't like it at all, no matter what settings I tried.

1st generation Core i5 M460 2.53GHz (up to 2.8GHz with turbo boost)
Geforce GT 420M
And then Windows 7, 4GB of RAM, etc.

Nothing spectacular, but then I got this on a student budget :p

If they're not too dissimilar, want to swap? :p

I said I can run Crysis on max, but I realised Crysis has a "Very High". It was High I can get away with.

I want a new PC :(
 
haha noes I love my baby.

I think you guys will be fine as long as you keep AA low and some of the more intensive lighting/shadows Ambient occulsion? Occular occlusion? I forget what it's called but it kills fps for small gains invisual quality. Maybe kill some motion blue and any film grain if they over do those -- I always hate when games toss a bunch of motion blue and film grain in.


I'd bet you can run at full resolution for your PC with high textures and some decent lighting and little to no AA and it would look good at 30+ fps

Just a guess though
 
the game on XBOX wasnt that graphics intensive. crysis was something else, but thats crysis.

the graphics are just pretty snazzy, not amazing

he finished it last night. he said it was an 8/10. reliable rent or purchase for replay value. buy if u want to beat up the game. rent if u want a good story.

NJOI!!!

If it's any consolation I cant run crysis on max either. Which was shocking when I built my system it was some 2 years after crysis came out and my system was pretty good (so I thought) heh :D
 
I think I'll play it safe and get the 360 version. I always seem to spend more time tweaking graphic settings than playing when I buy games that I only just meet the requirements of.
 
games do generally look better on ps3 btw. i agree with xyro though, its so much easier to just get it for console

console graphics looked absolutely terrible. idk why, but they havent release PC footage, so i am waiting.

There is lots of PC footage on youtube now that it has been released. Search 'deus ex human revolution pc vs console' and there's a comparison video by IGN.

Obviously a youtube video, with lossy encoding, isn't the ideal way to compare them, but the main difference to me seemed to be the lighting. The pc version has better shadows and made the console version look a bit washed out in comparison. Not that you'd notice that when playing one or the other.
 
I think the graphics are good so far. Deus Ex was never known for awesome graphics but rather it's awesome blend of FPS/RPG and great wide open sotyr with many plots interweaving.

That said the animations of characters are a bit stiff but it doesnt bother me. :)
