This game rocks !!!

Out of curiosity, how is PhysX handled for non-Nvidia users ? Done in software or just missing objects and effects ?

I'm a little after that frog you "wake" by hitting that gong. How much more is there ? The thing at the main menu shows 2 "keys" in the completed chapters section, there are 4 more, wtf ?

Some other info on cut content, along with the already existing in-game artwork it shows some of the ideas that were planned at one time or another but didn't make it into the final game for a variety of reasons. Smile

Extra content is usually always welcome, but in this case I think the game was a little too long anyway. If anything, a bit of the fat could have been trimmed, since some sections just dragged on a little too long. Still, brilliant game and some of the best art direction i've seen in years.

The initial part of it looks a bit so-so but once the environment changes it will look better.
(And then worse, quality is a bit inconsistent in some areas of the game.)

EDIT: The areas do have various artistic styles though like ink based paintings, jade crystals and paper and porcelain and such also.

"a bit so-so" is an understatement. The beginning of the level looks just downright hideous. The water really looks like its from a game released 10 years ago

Well I have to agree there also, it's a bit rough compared to modern render techniques, I don't know the specifics but it's not using any advanced or fancy shading or similar to try and simplify it a bit.
(Likely for performance reasons and UE3 still has some rough areas due to it's long development cycle, not entirely unlike some other engines like Gamebryo before their financial issues or say Source to name but two.)

I doubt its for performance reasons. The levels looked beyond gorgeous up until this point. The first time youre in wonderland, the water looks so fluid and nice. Now it just looks like blue water-like texture painted on a moving platform. If the whole game was like this, then Id understand

The game does not hold interest here sadly. It does not improve and it stays simplistic.

As promised. It's a pretty good recreation. A bit more low cut than Alice's version, and it'll need a petticoat to make it spread out as much as it should, but there's plenty of time to get that before Halloween.

edit: just for clarification, this is not a picture of me. it is a picture of my wife. i have testicles.

June NPD sales for Shadows of the Damned are pathetic. You can forget about a sequel. Alice: Madness Returns did much, much better, however.


Good to know, that it did somewhat well despite not being in the top 10.

As for Shadows of the Damned it probably means there won't be a late PC port of it. Oh well.

Actual numbers are not looking good though.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=29321435&postcount=874

PC, PS3, 360 US sold retail units were <120K

Sure it outsold Shadows of the Damned nearly 5:1 but debuting with <120K units (and surely the following months it's going to do even worse) it'll take a long time to reach 1M, if ever?, and if it does it'll likely be thanks to $10 Steam sales.

Still for a game with close to 0 marketing (thanks EA Rolling Eyes) that plays very differently to most games out there, 1M won't be that bad.

Also since the developers are in China, I don't exactly know how big Chinese salaries & budgets are compared to US ones, 1M again might be ok.

You've downloaded something you shouldn't have or that's how it looks from a quick search of whatever the hell "ppi.exe" is.
https://www.google.co.uk/#hl=en&biw=1586&bih=861&sclient=psy-ab&q=ppi.exe&oq=ppi.exe&aq=f&aqi=g1g-C2g-CK1&aql=&gs_l=hp.3..0j0i33l2j0i33i30.723.1947.0.2094.7.7.0.0.0.0.128.548.4j3.7.0...0.0.fLX3eE6SMDc&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&fp=cee4f25cd2ae446c

You probably got it from some open tracker or similar means I guess but it's good it crashed.
(And if you're mounting the disc image and relying on autorun.exe that's a bit of a security flaw, setup.exe directly is usually far safer.)

EDIT: Can't find what PPI.exe stands for so I'm just going to make something up, porn-popup installer. Razz
(Those were popular some years ago, nowadays malware is a bit more problematic.)

EDIT: F0r0r also appeared in some searches so that might be something to go by.

Key from retail boxed copy did activate it fine on Origin for me.

Frankly speaking, it was the only way to activate it for me. Razz Traditional method didn't want to work. Shit one has to go through to play legally bought games. Laughing

If you already have an Origin account, you won't be able to register the game by using your Origin account credentials outside of Origin.

So, if the e-mail address you want to use is binded to your Origin account, you won't be able to register the game using the game's launcher. It will always say the e-mail address is already taken.

Or, at least, that happened to me.
