2 different games!!! Not sure why mods moved my other thread :rolleyes: The thread I created was for the original game Ultimate edition which is PC only the sequel is multiplatform & no confirmed release date yet!!!

Utlimate Edition PC only now confirmed for Aug 27th in US Aug 30th EU. This is a superb God Of War/Shadow Of The Colossus style action game with terrific artwork (Patrick Stewart provides one of the key character voiceovers) well worth buying on PC as the console versions had FPS issues due to how large some of the bosses were & the environments in places are ambitious but superb looking :D

If you have a monster PC trust me this game will stress it to the max!!!!!

Steam have the pre-order page up now but its also coming to retail its quite a big game comes on 2 DVD's on X360. PC will be the same I should think if not slightly larger.

Just FYI its also an Nvidia sponsored TWIMTBP title!
 
Steam demo has been out for a bit game looks ok for 3 years old. All these are ingame images :D This game will be received on PC like Alan Wake why the long wait but its the best version of all & PC is its natural home due to smooth FPS & more detailed gfx.

Its a hack n slash action adventure God Of War/Ico/Shadow Of The Collossus clone but takes all the best bits of those classics & takes it to the next level :eek: a lot of this game is jaw droppingly good ;) & the voice cast is amazing (Patrick Stewart is one of the main characters).

Played the demo a few days ago. Looks so much better on the PC but I already have the PS3 version and over halfway through. Think I give this version a miss.
Did you not notice the massive FPS drops it goes to around 10FPS in several places especially the massive boss battles the consoles simply cannot handle this game :eek:
 
I was looking forward to this game, but wasn't impressed with the demo tbh.

I've gone from a definite purchase, to on the fence
Demo is just the prologue to show you controls its the pre level1 intro really. Actual game is epic/awesome/amazing artwork/epic music/epic movie quality voiceovers/ some incredible boss battles.

Gameplay is simple hack n slash with minor RPG elements but overall the amount of content with the 2 DLC packs thrown in for free makes the £17.99 pre-order price on Steam daylight robbery :eek:
 
Fully live now 15.4GB download though no pre-load either :rolleyes: but at least they did not hold it back until the UK retail release on Friday (like Steam usually do!).

See you in a few hours :D
 
Camera is gonna take some getting used to!

It is quite fun, but already too many unfailable QTEs for my liking!
Give it time most of the game has no QTE's its just the preview before the serious part of the game begins.

The first hour or so is the prologue/preview really then the game gets serious & starts to reveal why its so epic :D
 
Its an epic hack n slash/god of war/ico/shadow of the collossus clone on PC first few chapters are a little slow it improves a lot as it goes on some of the artwork has to be seen to be believed :eek:

Give it time you will see why its still one of the best player rated SP experiences on the consoles & even on the easiest difficulty its rock hard in places :eek:

No time for screenshots now but it does look quite special on PC !!
