You know what... I've heard some people saying the 9800GX2 is hot... well, I guess I have to agree with them.

Quote from Glenn67 :What, You don't have that psychic ability yet? Back to demo then until you have mastered the art!

I can remember back in 2005 times when I actually turned LEFT on BL1's T1, just to avoid being hit by those 300mph guided-missiles (XFGs)

Quote from Bean0 :The rotating brake discs got me thinking.
They can't be purely to look nice on zoomed slowmo vids.

The best reason I could think of is that they can now have some sort of heating/cooling calculations applied.

GTA SA, GTA IV and a considerable number of other games (even shooters if I'm not mistaken) have rotating brake discs, and I don't really think they have some sort of heating or cooling calculations applied.
But I'd love to see something like this on LFS, and you certainly have got a point.


Well, I know we're only supposed to expect the Scirocco and the already released features from the TEST Patches... However, I can't help expecting (and hoping for) a lot more, specially because I like this game a lot. Of course, I won't be dissapointed if we only get the Scirocco, but I expect many things from this next patch: physics (tires, maybe suspension and some other updates), brake heating (it's possible!), and possibly the remaining car interiors. I also expect/hope some of these get released year: damage (breakable parts [bumps, doors, windows, mirrors], better collisions) and new interiors (if they don't get released on this next patch).

Although I don't think we'll get all of this in 2009, I believe all of these things will get released at some time.
I'd also love to see some real time reflections as a graphical update.

As far as I know, one had always had to purchase Fraps in order to use for more than 30 seconds.
There is gamecam, but it puts an huge advertisement thing on all videos. I don't remember of any other right now.

It's still true. And it does work like that. And it is AA 64xQ. And ATi doesn't have it.

4 Graphics card connected together in SLI. Each of them provides 16xQ antialiasing. You end up with AA 64xQ.

Quote from danowat :[...]
I really don't like Multiplayer games all that much.

+1

Actually, I usually prefer to play the Singleplayer modes. I don't mind if a game doesn't have Multiplayer, specially if it has a good and involving storyline or something on singleplayer that is good enough to entertain me. I don't go play online if I'm bored of the Singleplayer modes, so it doesn't really matter for me. I am easily entertained by good physics, graphics and great/innovative gameplay. If a game has at least two of the above, it sure will get me addicted to it. But as for the gameplay, making something new doesn't exactly means it is any good. It has to be creative, innovative, new AND good. Has anyone here already played Penumbra? Now that is gameplay! I really feel like really I'm in the game. Graphics are pretty good too.

In my opinion, the importance order of what I mentioned above is as follows: gameplay > physics > graphics. All of them are important, but there are combinations on which a game can survive without some of these items. Games that have only good graphics and nothing else do get me entertained for some time, but a very short time as I proceed through the game and see there's nothing else in the game. Games that have good physics usually attract me more, even if it doesn't have good graphics, plus, if it has a good and fun gameplay, I don't even mind physics being bad or arcade. But graphics should be at least acceptable by then .

Quote from Inouva :/others

I like lose time in the game watching the details , or things like that, usualy i play 3 or 4 times the same lvl , cuz i lose too much time watching the details , buildings , sky , effects , sounds , things like that

Me too. I love details. That's one of the reasons GTA IV is so addicting to me.

Quote from BastianB :downloadet the pc version and its pretty fun! thinking bout buying the full version..
do you think its worth it, anyone got it yet?

I have it on Steam, and I'd say it's definitely worth it. I wanted to purchase this game since I had first seen it, but I didn't have money at that time. I waited.... and then Steam brought me a complete pack with 5 full games including Trials 2 Second Edition, for the same price of one game! I obviously purchased it . It's very fun.

Wow, it really heats up the graphics card! I checked the GPU temperatures before starting, it was 39°C. I did a quick test but forgot to save the results, and had to run it again. My graphics card had never went any higher than 45°C, even after hours playing any game (GTA IV, Crysis, doesn't matter which game), but now, after two quick tests, it went up to 56°C! :scared:
Maybe it needs some cleaning as well, it's starting to get too much dust .

Edit: Come on people, we all need to run the benchmark at the exact same settings in order to compare our results... if some people run in a different resolution or add up some MSAA, we just can't compare the scores! I just opened the program and ran it as it was, I didn't change anything.

Now on native monitor resolution:

Clutch - The Game
Velociround
S2 licensed
Well... after so many racing games with single and weird names (GRID, FUEL, DiRT, Shift), and trying to take part in the zombie fashion that has been present in recent games such as Left 4 Dead and many others (Penumbra, STALKER, Zombie Panic etc), as well as the demolition series from FlatOut and Burnout, Targem Games is now, after mixing all of this up, proud to present you their new game: CLUTCH.

Clutch is a zombie-apocalypse-themed-arcade-futuristic-destruction-racing-game that looks like FlatOut, handles like Carmagedom, has as much blood as FEAR and as much nitrous oxide as the Burnout series. Featuring some city tracks and arenas that resemble Destruction Derby 2 and FlatOut2, ability to free roam through it like Grand Theft Auto, stunting areas that are just like Crashday, futuristic tracks as the ones from Motorhead, and artwork and soundtrack almost identical to Rock and Roll Racing, Clutch is a very diversified game for all kind of people and different preferences.

The game features plenty of carmagedom-stylized cars, and allows customizability, just like Need for Speed. You can change body kits, boosters, front guards, skins, colors, etc. Clutch offers a complete city open for exploration (sandbox style), a storyline with 20 story missions and 6 modes of racing and combat.

The game was released 2nd June 2009 and is available to purchase through STEAM and some other stores.

Quote from Biohazard :messenger is miranda.

After 2 hours trying, I gave up and decided to ask. How do I install themes and change everything on Miranda just as you did? I tried doing it but looks like a complete mess. I've installed mydetails plugin (not unicode) and modern client list plugin (unicode) but it looks like shit, and is very buggy.

I have the latest version of Miranda.

How can I change Miranda to make it look like this (or like yours)?

Quote from Jazzka :Hello all.
I am consider getting GTA IV but i only have 1gb memory and 8600GT (256) vid card. So would i be able to play it or do i need to buy some more memory to run it at ease?

If your PC is running Windows XP, and depending on your processor, you'll be able to run it with low graphics (everything that requires memory you'll need to put medium or low, maybe one of the settings on high, but only one of them). But things that require processing from the processor, if yours is good, you'll be able to put it maxed out (such as vehicle density and detail distance).
If your PC is running Windows Vista or Windows 7, you'll be required to set everything (except for detail distance and vehicle density) to low, otherwise you won't be able to play properly. This game needs a lot of memory.

Quote from Shadowww :Contrast/brightness adjusting doesn't counts as editing.

Actually, any kind of "adjusting" counts as editing. A raw pic must be totally and completely untouched.

Not having been subjected to adjustment, treatment, or analysis.

oooh if LFS had good lighting and shadows!

question, how'd you do that??

I'm using ENBSeries for GTA SA made by Boris Vorontsov.. I've configured it for LFS and tried several settings seeking better results.
