Dying Light - PC next gen zombie open world game?

Holy cow... I've totally been oblivious to this! Just seen it on steam, looks epic!

Is it indeed any good with the 360 controller?

It's actually easier and more accessible with the pad because it's more of a mirrors edge game than an outright FPS. Thus you don't need the lightning reactions via a KB and Mouse like you would in traditional FPS games. It's still great with KB and M though :)
 
Edge Magazine are still going? Wow now that is a surprise.

Totalbiscuit wasn't that keen on it either tbh, personally I think they both missed the point of the game - pure silly fun and I think modding it will make it one of the must owns of future Steam Sales (high praise indeed!!)

I feel sorry for console owners if they can't get it modded though.. ok maybe I don't.
 
This took me a few tries to really get into but I am really enjoying the fallout/far cry feeling and the brilliant (if a little repetitive) soundtrack. My only problem has been since I first thought the main character sounded a bit like Brian from Family Guy, and now I can't get that out of my head.

Highly recommended!
 
4 GPU in 4k still b0rked, I get latency spikes up and beyond 400ms. Turning AA off helps but not by much.

2 CPU in 4k works fine with around 16ms latency.

Vsync on in all scenarios.

4 GPU in 1080@120hz is fine. sub 10ms latency.

Going back to test different resolutions and GPU clock speeds with the 4k panel.

Ok so in summary, 4K is not possible on a 980 SLI system with the settings all maxxed. The toggle to make the pain go away is to reduce the shadow map size and leave everything else at max.

Dropping the shadow size seems to allow the game to go in under the VRAM ceiling and the latency stays at roughly 20ms.

Have sent you a email about steam ID for some co-op!
 
Replied, get on www.pagan-sc.com and the teamspeak server - there's a couple of guys playing it just now. I wont' be on tonight but will add you when I'm home :) Be warned though you may end up on the youtube channel if one of them is recording (which is most of the time) lol
 
the game started off as not that good but now it's brilliant, the Katana and the other swords make such a gory mess... i've earnt 22000 dollars just killing Zombies all night.

Dead Island 2 looks very similar.

Dead Island 2 has no story and no campaign and no parkour.

Dying Light seems to be vastly superior.

And BTW I tried both controller and mouse, and game played awesomely on both. But in the end I preferred mouse, the guns (especially german pistol) as well as parkour are way more satisfying. The headshots are glorious in this game :D
