I agree with you about borderlands EXCEPT for the graphic style being cool. I am vehemently against it - the style is quite and ugly and imo definitely a step back from their more realistic style they had before. 

I think the style is cool, at least they're trying something different. Some of the env work looks quite nice.
As for the game itself, it's ok. It's much better when playing with 3 friends obviously. I like picking up random loot, but there's not enough diversity, like in Diablo, where it works better because of all the different armor pieces etc. 

Don't Look Back. The gameplay is pretty run-of-the-mill platforming (enjoyable still) but the atmosphere is excellent.

I think metl posted it a few hundred posts ago(?) but it's good enough to be reiterated. 

My letter to Blizzard today. Hmmm.

You know if their customer support weren't so fucking useless, I'd be playing a bought physical copy already. 

by now. 

Bluesnews gave the heads up on a new DX10 renderer for the original Unreal engine and its games, I re-installed Deus Ex to give it a try and its fantastic.

Its completely faithful to the look of the original Unreal engine, no mucking around with new shaders or anything like that, it does support things like HDR but you can turn if off if you don't want it. You can also use AA and AF etc and it works flawlessly (with deus ex at least).

Obviously as its DX10, you need windows Vista or Win7. It fully supports Deus Ex, Unreal 1, Unreal Tournament, and Rune so far.

I had forgotten how awesome DX was, im really enjoying playing through it again :) 

There's also an inofficial patch 227, with new renderers, lots of fixes, Linux and OpenGL support:

thanks for the heads up on deus ex. man what a great game... probably give it a run through now. :) 

You have a license, so why dont you stop whining and just "aquire" a copy via a torrent or something? 

Because that is not allowed. 

for those without dx9, there are unofficial d3d and opengl renderers available that are quite an improvement performance and feature wise. 

I meant 'for those with dx9 only...' 

So... Does Rage on the iPhone go in here or the console thread? 

But it probably doesn't go in here. So let's all not talk about it. 

No, you're right, let's not. It's not that impressive anyway. 

someone mention Bioshock Infinite?? The trailer looks cool. I like the way they are doing it as a spiritual sequel to Bioshock (which I still haven't played, waiting to upgrade first). 

Yeh, I think I forgot to mention it on here, but it looks awesome. An actual BioShock sequel rather than the farmed-out cash-in that was BioShock 2. 

I am so going to preorder as soon as it is available. Bioshock is one of my favorite 'new' franchises, just simply fantastic. I would very much like to petition them for inclusion of level editor with this game, it's a fucking shame neither Bioshock nor Bioshock 2 had one.

Do want. 

Oh, and could a mod please change the name of this thread to 'other games' please. It just seems to make sense. 

Balls to consoles. 

God dammit Sham. That was a scary fast response.

And DO IT! 

Rage = PC game.
Bioshock = PC game.

3500 posts in its not worth changing the name of the thread. Just my 10 english pennies. 

It was for all systems until Shambler decided to split. 

Deus Ex 3 gameplay; http://kotaku.com/5612092/your-first-look-at-deus-ex-gameplay

The hell is he dragging the body with at 0:47?

But other than that, I'm fully hyped about this game. About time there was a proper sequel. 

Deus Ex 3 looks sweet. Like the yellow color scheme, but hope they don't use it everywhere in the game.
