So did the demo have some lax system requirements? This old rig ran it swimmingly and now I gotta decide which version to buy first (I am buying both but one sooner than the other) PC or PS3.

If you plan on doing both, you should play the PS3 version first. Presumably this will give you the more ~cinematic~ experience if you have a nice home theater thing going. Then, by the time you're ready to play it again, there may be some mods or hacks available for the PC version so you can have a more custom tailored play now that you have done it vanilla style. That would be my approach, anyway.

That's my plan. Buy it, beat it, sell it, wait for the inevitable 95% off Steam sale around Christmas, buy it for cheap and mod it.

Of course the computer I was planning to play this on decides to crap out in the most catastrophic way possible. It's probably for the best, as it was old and could only get HR running at low resolutions and low settings at not a great framerate. Anybody have any recommendations for laptops in the $1500 price range that will run this game decently? I know the correct answer is "just build your own computer" but as I am more or less a transient that's not really an option for me.

Ok yeah think I will do that. From what I have played Ill probably end up buying this for all my consoles. I know I shouldn't judge the demo but this is my personal GOTY, with the only competition to it being Skyrim. By the way this is one of the best threads I have read on this site, super informative. Props to the OP.

Tab8715 posted:Will they be pre-loading the game via Steam? This being a Steamworks game, yes, most likely. Pre-loading usually starts a week before release, next Tuesday for this game. Sometimes it's as late as the Friday before release. Either way, you'll have plenty of time to pre-load.

Sadly I'm going to have to wait for a new computer before I can play it on pc, so it's 360 or nothing for me.

I wonder if the Steam release will be staggered like the retail release or does the game unlock at the same time for everyone? As always, Europe is getting screwed on the release date and the game isn't hitting store shelves here 'till the 26th. I'll just cancel my retail preorder and pay  more on Steam if it means getting the game three days earlier.

I wound up preloading, usig a VPN to fool steam into thinking I was on the US so I could unlock it on the Tuesday, then going into offline mode until the actual release date.

This is the first game I have pre-ordered via Steam. When do games usually enter the pre-load -state? Oh, and what would a man have to do in order to get augmented in this thread? That tag is just way too awesome ( and yeah, I'd like to get rid of Serious Sam's Club - a tag which used to be about Duke Nukem Forever ).

Their Bayonetta guide is a labor of love. 400+ pages, hardback, picking apart every single possible technique and including seperate walkthroughs for each difficulty, and even having reference numbers which you can enter on the FP site to view video examples of things too complex to just show on paper.

Some preload a week ahead, some a few days, and some never preload. And if you want to get augmented, you pay for a new avatar that includes the tag.

So while checking out the site, I noticed it listed the Augmented Edition as coming with the soundtrack on a bonus disc. Have they said whether it will be transferable or anything? I'd love to have it on my phone.

I have an extremely important question. Can someone who has played the leak tell me what the first door code or locker code in the game is? Basically, what's the first numeric code used in the game? This is important.

I'd love to have it on my phone. I don't see why not. If you get the physical disc, you can always rip it. I believe the downloadable Augmented Edition comes with the soundtrack aswell, so you'll most likely be able to just move the files over to your phone.

I'd love to have it on my phone. I talked with a PR guy, who was quite sure that it should be transferable. And it really should be. I was quite annoyed when the soundtrack included in the Assassin's Creed II box was only playable by DVD-player.

Mech, Tech And Montreal - Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director Jean-Francois Dugas And Producer David Anfossi talk us through one of this summer's most keenly anticipated releases. ( http://www.sabotagetimes.com/reportage/mech-tech-and-montreal-deus-exl-human-revolution/ ) Due in the summer, Human Revolution is a prequel set in a turbulent 2027, a time dominated by unrest and technological advancement. Since seeing previews from the Tokyo Game Show, we’ve been itching for an interview with the development team at Eidos Montreal. Every iteration of the Deus Ex franchise to date has extended the possibilities and ambitions of the action adventure, blending the best qualities of the first person shooter with elements more common to roleplaying titles. What has truly distinguished the title however, and lead it to be regularly cited as one of the best games of all time, is a coupling of beautiful design with narrative complexity. “You play as Adam Jensen,” explains Jean-François, “a private security specialist working for one of America’s most innovative biotechnology firms, you play a mechanically augmented character whose job is to safeguard company research, until the day everything changes. It’s about control of the marketplace, of valuable technologies, of society and, ultimately, human evolution.” “We wanted this game to stand on its own, where you didn’t need to be familiar with the other earlier titles to fully appreciate it and decided the best way to achieve this was to make a fresh start,” he adds. “The original timeline occurred in an era where mechanically-augmented people started to flourish in society before nano-augmented people. The distinction lay in the fact that the nano-augmentations were invisible while mechanical augmentations weren’t. We thought it would be interesting to explore this both from the gameplay perspective, in that players could see how their character evolved, as well as from an ethical and moral stance, where they could explore the benefits and dangers in a world where some people could afford to get augmented while others couldn’t, effectively increasing the social tension between the have and the have-nots.” Though a few months from completion, the game looks incredible with the dense cityscapes of Detroit, Shanghai and Montreal casting neon light onto the shadowy themes of conspiracy, corporate espionage and technological change. Goldtooth Creative and Japanese anime studio Visual Works were brought onboard to assist with the initial trailers. “They fully understood the ideas, themes and messages that are used in the game,” explains David. “That was a special moment, as it was the first time people outside the team were talking about our game with us. We had the best of both companies and, after the trailer, we continued working with Goldtooth because they knew the game so well, and they’ve since participated in the production of content for the game with the opening title, cut-scenes and ending movies.” “The challenges lay in the fact that we needed to reinvent the world as we know it, keeping it cohesive and believable while trying to anticipate what the future might bring to us less than 20 years from now,” adds Jean-François. “Obviously, cyberpunk was influential, but our main inspiration came from the Renaissance because we saw a direct link with the era of transhumanism, in that both have offered the next big leap in human evolution. We started to analyze the Renaissance as a whole – from its fashion to its architecture – in order to try to find a way to create a rich visual style. Every location has its’ own palette and design aesthetics, where we hope navigating through the world constantly feels fresh. We revisit a couple of locations and, even there, we worked hard to make them feel special. In terms of gameplay, it works with the story exposing the players to different kind of challenges and situations.” “It was important for us to raise questions rather than trying to answer them. It wasn’t our intention to be moralistic, but we did want players to think about things and come up with their own take. Those ethical questions are supported in the story through the quests, as well as the characters’ ideologies, narrative choices and lower level decisions related to the augmentations themselves. Throughout the game, the player has many opportunities to experience the pros and cons of the issue. They choose which augmentations they want to invest in and how to use them, and each decision reveals more about the ethical debate. In the end, the player gets to decide what Adam feels about augmentation and, in the end, it’s those decisions which reflect the course of the future in the game.”
