Lost Planet for PC

[SniperWulf]

As title states, is anyone else picking up this game? I've played the demo on PC and 360, liked it so I pre-ordered on steam for $36.

I liked it on the 360...I'm wondering what performance will be like in the final release compared to the PC demo.

I hope it's a good game, I'm tired of console ports being done so poorly.

 

[SViper]

I think I might actually get it. I played it on my PC w/ my XBOX360 controller and it felt really good. I enjoyed the demo.

And Capcom is one of the worst offender for screwing up ports. Their last port, Resident Evil 4, didn't even come with mouse support.

Make sure to read a couple of reviews to see how bad they screwed it up, before you consider buying it.

i was surprised how well it ran on my brother's Sempron64/1gig ram/6600GT. not bad at all, believe it or not. just not very detailed

Nope, PC demo bored the crap out of me; good benchmarking tool though! :thumbsup:

The demo was crap; one of the worst ports I've ever seen. I had to go through hoops just to have it display my correct resolution (1680x1050). If the finished game is anything like that I'll stay away from it.

I just started playing and the game runs TONS smoother than the demo. Running Vista w/DX10 and everything maxed except shadows and AA @ 2x and i average 40+ fps. Not sure what my max is because I keep vsync on. Oh yeah this is at 1920x1200

I liked it a lot for the 360. Really fun game

 

[Nebor]

Very very poor port. Not fun to play.

Loved the demo, so I got it off steam. Unfortunately my 2900xt shuts down my computer when I play this game...I don't think it's getting enough juice from my 500w psu....argh

actually i feel quite the contrary. This has to be the best port I've played an a while, especially compared to like R5:vegas for example.

Hey Soy, let me know how well your 2900 runs the game and at what settings

 

[kaioshade]

The demo ran pretty well on my pc. I will be picking this up as well. Probably this weekend once the check comes in.

Why does everybody think Lostplanet looks so good
I think the game looks like total crap and I just dont get what all the hype has been about its graphics.

I thought it might be interesting but the controls sucked shitegg on the pc and the 'help' was for an xbox with a b button lousy port.

What GFX card? I see 7800GT in your sig.

 

[SniperWulf]

I have an 8800GTX. I was trying to update my system profile here but i think its borked

Will do once my new psu gets here. It'll be DX9 tho

Cool, the 8800 is no slouch, but contrary to popular belief, i think the 2900 series is gonna excel at games with tons of shaders... but we will see. Hell, given the state of nvidia's vista drivers of late, i had actually considered switching to a 2900 myself

 

[Aikouka]

As of late? I've had no issues in Vista with my nVidia drivers ever since they released a set of drivers that fixed most of the annoying issues months ago.

I won't buy Lost Planet for the PC because I already own it for the XBOX 360 oh and if it's anything like the demo, it'll be a crappy port where control and configuration is a mere afterthought.

Agreed. Looked like crap to me on PC and on Xbox. Have not tried it in DX10 mode yet, but I doubt it will look that much better.

[SniperWulf]

Oh yeah, the final game plays much better than the demo

 

[msarp]

The demo was ok . I preordered it thru AMAZON. I have a 8800 GTS 640mb, e6320 ect. Played it with out a hitch. ((x10)

 

[Nebor]

Ok, I passed judgement too quickly. I was playing it on my 17" LCD before. I loaded it up on the 47" LCD in the living room @ 1920x1080, and I was stunned. I don't know that I've ever seen better graphics.

Mouse control is still pretty clunky, and it runs kinda choppy (25fps) at the high res. with all the goodies turned on. Would adding another 8800gts help that?
