Stranglehold Demo PC demo

[WarBird]

sorry but how do you change the graphics settings, i don't see it

 

[Talrinys]

Really bad console port, no more to say, there isn't even any graphics settings, no real menu, nothing, just a bad Max Payne rip-off ported to PC.

I cant edit that Line in Shortcut to tweak RES in Vista

Why? worked fine for me.

I actually quite enjoyed it, it's plays better on the Xbox though. Console port but still fun in my opinion. Love the environment and shooting.

Read above, I did get it in the end, but not using same file you edited as Vista wont let me.

Demos are sometimes like that.

Yeah unfotunately, but still looks like an extremely badly executed Xbox port, not like Bioshock for instance which works wonders on PC as well as Xbox.
The game is just boring, watched my brother completing most of it on the Xbox and i have no doubt that my money will be spent better elsewhere.

just found this

C:\Program Files\Midway Home Entertainment\Stranglehold Demo\StrangleholdGame\PC-only\DynamicAdvertising\cache\data

- how come we are expected to pay the same as the console owners but get ads?!

 

[WarBird]

it's still good fun, no denying that

 

[Inazuma]

So anyone want to tell me how to change my resolution?

It's already been said above!

 

[helmutcheese]

Whatever one of Shortcuts let you edit them, in Vista the one the peeps above said is not changeable.

Here m8, I will help you

Copy EVERY part bellow in between the LINES, and exhange the 8888 parts by your choosen RES like 1280 and 1024 or such.

Wow that was an uhm... refreshing experience. Some really cool action there and at constant 60FPS, although the original screenshots seemed to look better

 

[Firegod]

Is this worth downloading peeps? Seems to be mixed thoughts and I don't have super fast broadband, so a 1.9Gb demo needs to be worth it.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers.

 

[Things change I've changed]

really good fun, hated this on the 360 so took a gamble to see what it was like on the PC and found it much more enjoyable due to the better controls, the first bullet time effect is pretty standerd but the secound one you get where you can basicly pinpoint where you want your bullet to land is very cool, basically it's just a fun shoot-em-up with some cool effects, don't expect it to be anymore than that and you may enjoy it like I did.

 

[helmutcheese]

Yes its worth the download, just get from Gamershell as fastest.

 

[Inazuma]

Use Gigaget to download it faster Firegod. And yes I thought it was a pretty fun - great performance too.

 

[Azza]

Just played it now.

I thought it was great a lot of fun. Got some awesome groin shots.


Didnt have any problems with any bugs

 

[NokkonWud]

Must say, the levels are a lot bigger than I was expecting. Or at least the second one is!

 

[manoz]

I thought it was OK, got stuck once but I shot myself out of it lol. Gona try barrage me thinks.

 

[Firegod]

Ok thanks, will download now with Gigaget.
