@Azznation I totally agree with games getting patched on PC and will look better looking. I would say as well as 95% of the games run better as well. Consoles can't compete with the hardware of a good Gaming rig period.
The problem I have though is in the case of Batman Arkham Knight the PC was not even the lead platform. It was handed off to a third party and the ball was dropped horribly on the port to PC. They tried to fix it and it did get better, but there was s...
For Fallout yes, but other games have been a disaster on PC due to crappy ports. Both Batman (full refund for that game) and Black Ops 3 have had major bugs. Though I think Black Ops 3 is not as bad as Batman.
I was thinking about backing this game earlier, but then I started seeing what they were wanting for some of the starship packages. At some of those prices you could buy a pretty nice used car or take a family on a good vacation! That was when I decided that I was going to wait and see how the game would turn out. I'm glad I did.
Word of mouth has been strong for this game. I know I have been recommending it to my friends. I have a friend at work that has not bought a PS4 yet and was thinking about it for Dark Souls III, but then I told him about this game, and now he is probably going to get the system and game to play in anticipation for DSIII.
I have a couple hours in the game today. Loving every minute of it. Love the variation of weather on the tracks. Not to mention the amount of tracks and all the cars. That is one huge roster of Cars!
If you have a PC and Win 10 and about $50 you can pick up Ashes of the Singularity where it uses DX12 to play on Win 10. It also has a benchmark program allowing you to benchmark the game on DX11 and DX12. Pretty good comparison on what DX12 can do with the added CPU power to it.
My thoughts for the Xbox is it will get an improvement as well, but not like what PC is getting since I still feel the CPU is still weak.
You got a better price than I did. I got mine for $34 and was happy with that price. Now just counting down the minutes until I can play it!
Ashes of the Singularity is the first Game to have a Benchmark Demo where you can compare cards with and not to mention DX11 and DX12. I picked it up just yesterday to see how it ran on my R9 280X under the current setting with both DX11 and DX12. With DX12 there is a visible notice on how much better it runs than DX11.
I'm swapping my R9 280X for the R9 290X for free and I will be even more curious as to how well the results look with that.
I was bummed there was no Horde mode in this as well. I was holding out hope they would have sneaked it in since it was such a popular mode.
@Triella and @Meltic. Thanks for answering. I figured it out, but totally over thought it. Part of the problems of playing a game like this after working for 12 hours is the brain just does not think straight.
No framerate drops yet, but got to a part where I am at a shooting range and I need to push R2 to pull the trigger and doing that action does not fire the rifle. So far I have timed out twice doing that trying to fire and it restarts the aiming sequence to shoot a target. Have you had that happen yet?
EDIT: Never mind I figured it out. Apparently I was over thinking and thought I could shoot at whatever target. There were hints on what target you need to aim to shoot.
Downloading now. Pretty bummed the PS4 does not utilize more of my internet download speed so I can start playing it faster. Looking forward to turning out the lights and scaring the crap out of me tonight!
Agree with with Death. Try adjusting your Streaming settings on the Xbox App on Win 10.
Played Fifa 15 with my son the other day. He was in the living room and I was in the office. Felt like I was back in college yelling back and forth :) No lag whatsoever.
Did you check your streaming settings? There are 3 options there Low, Medium and High. If it was on High, drop down to Medium and see if that fixes the audio stuttering.
I did a clean install of Win 10 Pro and checked out the streaming feature. Played Destiny with my Level 8 Titan and ran through a whole mission. No stuttering or input lag during the whole mission. Very satisfied with how it played.
The other test I did was played a game of FIFA 15 a...
@Abriael "Some are just used to the mouse, regardless of advantages. Personally, I feel much more natural with the mouse, because that's how I started many years ago.
I prefer the analog stick for movement, though, so the ideal controller for me would be a hybrid with left analog stick and mouse."
I totally agree with you on this. I would love to see something that used a stick for movement and the mouse for aiming. Though I like the other keys for fun...
Not soon enough :) I just picked up a Samsung EVO 850 (500GB) to run Win 10. Thay way if either the wife or kids are watching TV I can stream some games to the PC. Looking forward to see how it all plays out.
I'd rather have the Win 10 update!
Elite Dangerous was a automatic purchase for me. I play the hell out of it on my PC. I knew it was coming to Xbox one, but did not realize it was part of the preview program. I was at work when I heard it was being released on the 15th so I got on my Xbox Smart Glass and just bought it from there and then only noticed it was part of the Preview program when I got home later that night. Cool that those that have not played it can give it a try. I found the game to be addicting as hell. Pi...
Wireless is nice, but I'm fine with using my USB cable with it on my PC and playing. I'll take that money for the new adapter and put it towards the Steam summer sale!
@decrypt I think you nailed it on the head with Origin. If this would have been a Steam sale I imagine this would have sold more on PC. I know a few of my friends were passing on it on PC because of Origin alone.
