Shattered Horizon Gets Release Date and Specs. - Page 2

wolf · 11-09-2009, 03:41 PM

Well after a few days playing this game and even reading reviews about it, I'm not sore at all about the recommended specs.

The game looks gorgeous, some may disagree but think about how hard it is to hit the 'floating in space' experience nail on the head, I think Futuremark certainly did that. Especially light and dark, the sun is really harsh when full on and shadows are very very dark, coupled with the right sfx, I really love the atmosphere the game offers. I know it might sound weird but I sort of feel at home floating above the earth near an ISS, hec is almost even given me vertigo... incredible.

sure the specs may be high, and this might sound like pr speak, but it does make me proud to be a PC gamer, and happy to an extent that consoles don't and wont get this game, everything about it, the idea, the 6 degrees of freedom, its all novel, and it works really well. It's awesome to have a game where no compromises have had to be made for the PC release because of corresponding console releases.

I'm not even saying everything I want to say, but the whole thing is a real treat to play and be a part of, and you can't really argue with the price either IMO. 20$ US is what, 2 tickets to the cinema? I have gotten way more enjoyment out of this game than the last 2 times I went to the movies.

I hope everyone is enjoying it as much as me, that's my 2 cents.

I think this game might be out of reach for a lot of gamers. From my experience in the beta, the tactics tended to be flanking, ice barrages and hiding beside control points to use emp's on those who try to take the point. I don't know if they added anything else, I didn't get to try out the silent mode or the melee attack, but having only the assault rifle did get a bit boring.

Watching people spin away motionless was satisfying though.

I really want to try this game but Ill wait for the demo. If there is one.

Nick89 · 11-10-2009, 06:04 PM

Just got it, I like it alot and I hope they expand on it.

This game feels innovative actually.

I'm running it at all max settings, 1920x1200 8x MSAA

I don't think there will be one to be honest. Remember this is a multiplayer only game. Steam however might give a free weekend offer like they did with UT3 and Killing Floor, so keep your fingers crossed and eyes peeled.

I'll see about posting some screens.

This game is awesome and addictive with simple gameplay.

I hear that, it's about as simple as it gets, even in the capture modes, but the simplicity of weapon and grenade choice, flying or standing makes for very balanced game play IMO. and very fun.

you didn't reload after killing the first guy

but a good short clip, shows off the game nicely. Man it looks funny to other players when you hold right click and swipe your mouse across your desk.

WINDMILL ATTACK!!!

There was one server with more than 1 person in it. You spawned, died, spawned, died, spawned, died, without seeing anyone.

Lame spawn killing remember that crap back when i used to play Delta Force. Really should not be happening these days.
