I know a guy on Steam who thinks his Laptop is a gaming Powerhouse
(Its a i5 with intergrated graphics -__-, he always plays ames on Low settings at like 15-20 fps, it's painful to watch)
Anyway, do you think he'll be able to play it on low settings?

Yeah I was expecting something ridiculous too.

I take it they also included the amount of space the HD pack will add to it too.

Yeah i saw that, but don't want any spoilers, really looking forward for this, was an instant buy when it was being made as true crime hong kong. Cannot wait for it!

caz32 · 8 Aug 2012 at 23:42

PC version sounds promising won't buy till its released though incase it has problems, can rarely take a developers word these days

Tune · 9 Aug 2012 at 01:41

Yeah, was thinking that but I knew I'd end up getting it either way and limited edition upgrade is nice

, also total biscuit said that the pc version is really good, so its sounding fine atm.

its more shenmue then true crime

bakes0310 · 9 Aug 2012 at 10:07

I may preorder the day before it comes out as i want to see some pc reviews first. Does look really good, but with gw2 coming out very soon afterwards it might just end up on my endless pile of incomplete games

Broken Hope · 9 Aug 2012 at 12:03

HD texture pack is 4.4GB I'm guessing that's on top of the 15GB listed?

How and where do you get the HD patch or is it already installed with the steam version?

Broken Hope · 9 Aug 2012 at 12:12

Should appear as free DLC according to the community manager on their forum.

Also you can use the following code on Green Man Gaming ORDER-NTCOM-PLETE to get the limited edition for £20.25, for that price I thought it was worth a punt, looks good from the videos.

Thankyou. Just picked it up for
19.75 with a crappy game trade-in

Looks like a well optimized port going by a few comments at NeoGAF.

Radeon 6850, Phenom X4 965 Black Edition, 12GB DDR3 RAM. According to the benchmark I'm getting an average of 60.8fps, with some dips (not sure what causes them - I assume physics or effects) to around 30fps. Everything is maxed, apart from AA and Shadow Filtering, which I turned down to Normal rather than High/Extreme.

Benchmark (same settings, without vsync): 119.9 max, 38.8 min, 72.8 average.

The game also has a frame limiter so you can set a fixed frame rate cap without having to use Vsync.

Tibbz2 · 9 Aug 2012 at 13:35

Awesome, actually think ill get this at some point in the future now

Brummies · 9 Aug 2012 at 21:09

This game looks very interesting/cool and with the code above I might just go for it at £20, I just hope the driving style is up to scratch (steering etc)
