You said you have SLI right? Have you tried turning it off? I'm running with everything turned all the way up on my rig. Everything runs perfect even with Vsync on.
Well I give up.. I can't get this thing running on my 480. Its just unplayable. Sometimes it starts and only goes up to 16fps, othertimes it will start at 24fps. Either case it's crap.
I guess that's OpenGL for ya? =p I dunno, this seems to be the first game I've played in a very very long time that wasn't DX.
I've gotten a little further, after finding the note at the beginning and getting into that one main hallway, I heard the woman screaming. I decided to avoid going that way and check out the upstairs ballroom/study halls.
I swear I can hear footsteps through the walls sometimes, like feet treading across carpet, sometimes I think it's just my own feet and sometimes I'm definitely sure it was something else. Every little sound puts me on edge. When I was tip-toeing out of the local history room back into the ballroom, I sudenly heard this GROWLING - it was definitely growling - and I jumped like hell, turned around, and hid in a corner. Realizing that my only way out was that doorway into the ballroom, I sucked it up and walked back. There was nothing there.
This game will make you think there's an enemy nearby, but then you gather up the courage to peek around the corner and it's gone. That growling though, that was definitely not subtle. I keep hearing footsteps in this part of the castle but damn... that growl was a new one.
Then I walk out of the ballroom for my last time, and as I round the corner in the hallway, I hear the piano back in the ballroom start slowly playing music. *shudder*
Man the game looks terrible, like Heretic at high res.
It looks hideous. Like something from 2002.
I've tried all sorts of settings. Even having everything on its lowest with all options off and it actually ran worse, like 8fps.
I steam rolled all the way to the basement key section. I basically ran towards every sound i heard.
Doom3 and Undying have jaded me towards scary games so much. But I'm not going to lie, I'm thoroughly enjoying the atmosphere and I like that it can't scare me as much as games like this once could, it allows me to play it at a more normal pace.
It's true, you do need a game that serves as a diversion between Amnesia horror sessions. Mine is Borderlands.
TF2 sounds like it could work, but I'd be too afraid that I'm going to get stabbed in the back RL in my computer chair.
You must be stone cold cus I played Doom 3, Undying, every Resident Evil game, Theif, and many others but none scare me like this. All those other games were not as scary cus in those other games you could defend yourself with weapons. In this game you can't. There's nothing you can do but run.
The problem with a game like this is that it told me from the start "don't worry about saving and don't worry about dying". Well if I don't need to worry about dying or saving then why worry at all? I haven't ACTUALLY died yet and I guess I'd be pretty pissed if I had to start the whole game over, but because the game takes care of all this stuff I've simply been very reckless.
This game does have a nice Eternal Darkness vibe though. Except Eternal Darkness did sanity much, much better. And you actually had to worry about surviving. Anyone who has a Gamecube or Wii that hasn't played this game definitely should! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_Darkness:_Sanity's_Requiem
the Penumbra games don't really have anything to do with it so go ahead.Is it worth checking out the older games first, or should I jump right into amnesia?
