Rainbow Six:Vegas 2

helmutcheese · 12 Apr 2008 at 16:30

1920x1440 all MAX at Driver High Quality setting.

BUT, due to limitations on Photobucket and rules here, the massive .BMP's are converted to smaller file sized .JPG's then resized by Photobucket to fit a 1024x768 screen.

I do not like multiplayer only play single player games period.

The game runs 25-45FPS compaired to Assassins Creed also same RES+MAX at 70+FPS, so yes another bad coded port.

I added to my SIG and a MOD removed it as it went over 4 lines (by mistake), instead of telling me to fix it, Im normally too lazy to redo it and although I did redo it right now its not showing up for some reason.

Them screens don't look appealing to me one bit.

Yeah, looks very dated and almost bland textures

helmutcheese · 12 Apr 2008 at 17:02

It is dated looking no matter what anyone trys to tell you (its same as Vegas 1) but its a good game and enjoyable.

where did you get your copy?

so it doesnt play any better than the first right?

helmutcheese · 12 Apr 2008 at 17:53

Dont ask questions you should know not to m8.

It looks same as 1st game as its the same old engine, it has extra Guns+Equip+a Rank/Bonus Scheme.

It has Cover/Blind Fire like I said before and it does not crash unpatched like I said before, so therefore at this stage it plays better than Vegas 1.

Liked the first Vegas, had it on PC, to start with it was a bit hard to get into, but once you got used to the team based play I really enjoyed it, was a bit miffed that it finished the way it did, felt like there should have been at least another level or 2.

Might actually reinstall it and play again.

Most probably be getting this, doesn't seem too bad.

Doesn't look to bad, in my book Vegas 1 was quite good (mind you needed a pretty beasty PC back then to get all the eye candy)

If its more of the same I'm happy, lots more terrorist hunting and such! I just want to finish the fight :rolleyes:

EDIT: Thanks helmutcheese for those screens, but what do you mean by new cover/blind fire mode? How does it differ to Vegas 1??

helmutcheese · 12 Apr 2008 at 20:15

Dont know, I cant remember, you would need read reviews or watch videos from Gamershell or such.

The graphics are appalling tbh. Everything looks as if it is Zoomed in and many of the details are very poorly textured. The consensus on the forums are that it is poor aswell as buggier than the original. Everything just looks like straight lines, lighting and shadows look none existent and create what looks like a PS2 game in my eyes.

I'm not holding out for anything special and the Co-op games for the PC are definitely going down hill.

HangTime · 12 Apr 2008 at 22:27

Quite like the concept, should I buy the original before this? Or is the storyline good enough standalone?

Blackhawk47 · 12 Apr 2008 at 22:33

is the engine the same as the original vegas.... im thinking of pickign this up if it will work decently on my 7800gt . for now anyway

i loved the first one but thought it got a little short and after the story i really didnt see much else to do. i would play the first one first. can be picked up less then £10 now.

Vegas 1 had cover and blind fire.

TheVoice · 13 Apr 2008 at 01:25

Those screenshots look awful. I'd barely expect that from a game that's a few years old, let alone one that's just been released.

Biohazard · 13 Apr 2008 at 01:38

I've never liked any TC game I have bought. The controls are always far too complicated!

Ive played a bit of this on the PC, and ive gotta say theyve really gave the PC version a lot of spit-shine this time around. You can select any resolution you want, aspect ratio etc AND Anti-Aliasing (not many UE3 games allow that do they ? it looks crazy on max) and the game runs really well. The whole PEC thing is there with the ranking up, even achievements (not the GFWL kind, in-game ones) ! The graphics do look a little below-par but they are very clean imo. I deffinately cant wait until my pre-order gets here

Dave85 · 13 Apr 2008 at 02:56

The coop lan can do the whole campaing and it looks amazing, playing vegas2 on coop will be awesome.

Adrianr · 13 Apr 2008 at 04:05

Honestly what's with the inside of the scope in those screenies? That's not even jaggy, it's just god damn lazy!! Looks absolutely terrible, and if it even plays twice as good as the first it'l still feel ****.

looks crazy on max? normally people mean it looks crazy good when they say that. It looks truly damned awful on max. Its pathetic, that blanket coloured flat wall's with no real texture, same with everything. Someone put it perfectly, it looks completely bland. It looks almost worse than the first game from what i recall. Levels like the casino parts in RV1(if i'm remembering right) were fairly busy with quite a lot of detail, while this feels incredibly sparse enviroment wise, bland textures, poor looking guns. AS someone else said, it looks fairly poor even for a game that was a couple years old let alone something brand new.

But people forget, this is what happens with consoles, you get stuff 2 years ago on release, the hardware hasn't changed, graphics won't improve much and rehash games will look incredibly dated. Its semi good that this happens, its the spark of when people start to realise the limited power and that 2-3 year period of consoles being top comes to an end and dev's get back to making games for PC's.

AT the end of the day you've got to remember the big developers/studio's have enough money to do whatever they want. If you had the choice, design stuff for 3 year old tech, or stuff for next gen PC hardware that has 3 times the power, thats why they switch over.

To be fair though, this is shoddy even for a x1900's power, it just looks completely cack.
