One thing for sure...
This game is made by japanese, it's hard

Correction, Ubisoft did the ports for the last few Capcom games.

This one looks like its being ported by nVidia and is meant to showcase their new 8xxx line of cards, so don't expect this to be the turds the last few Capcom ports were.

Sounds great, btw izzit this the first xbox360 game ported to PC?...

Cheers

Nope... That would probably go to Condemned: Criminal Origins.

Oh no more Source-su Next-toeee ? Cool, so when is GoW coming over ?

Bad pun of the day: Hopefully, this game wont get lost in translation. *cough*



Image blatantly stolen off Joystiq

The previews mention that it'll support mouse aiming and keyboard movement like Max Payne. Now we just have to wait for Dead Rising.

I notice the soft shadow and what looks like more impressive specular effect on the PC

Never thought x360 technology could hit their own limit so fast...

Heads up ppl. Capcom has announced that the demo for this will hit the intarwub on the 15th

DX9 or DX10? look good but the only x360 games i wanna play is Crackdown. and no, not Halo2 or Halo3. played Halo and it's suck. among the worst in my list...

The DX10 card owner with Windows Vista can try the DX10 version~

The game looks good~ can't wait for the demo to release~

so the demo will be out tonight after 12 eh (technically, tomorrow 15th early morning)? hehehe...

I think have to wait for the next day... anyway this is another PC game that PC gamers should not miss it in this year.

Demo is out! There are two different version, DX9 & DX10

DX9:

Those with 8000 series or HD2000 series cards and Vista pls post some screenshots of the DX10 version.

ATI drivers are not ready yet it seems...check out the benchmark.

Yippie~ thanks Araes for the link~ but I still don't have Vista installed on my PC >.<

will try the DX9 version though.

woot this game rocks! but my system barely handles it. LOL...have to set some settings to medium...


edit: btw, still a quite buggy game. haha...since it is a demo. hope the full version will be good! without the xbox keys and all...

This post has been edited by SpikeTwo: May 16 2007, 05:58 PM

This game can run on my PC with all set to high~ and average 58fps~

This game rawks~ and it is "The way its meant to be played"~

maybe will post the screenshot of the demo later~

What is the nVidia card?

HD2900XT is meant to go compete with nVidia 8800GTS, not GTX. ATi themself openly admit to this, and brought down their price as well to compete with GTS. HD2900XT is currently somewhere in the middle class of the high end.

Gah, yet another game which requires a SM3.0 card. I am slowly turning into the circa-2004 GF4MX whiner.

Ah well... I'm about 3/4 of the way to making a new gaming PC for myself. Its only a matter of time

hahaha...i downloaded the dx9 only. cos no dx10 cards. hmm...really stressing on high resolution. maybe really ATI needs to give us some better drivers.

what on earth is this d3dx9.33.dll error?
Apparently its not installed in my demo.
anybody else has this too?

treu true.. same thang happened to me. but i just downloaded that file from the interweb. just google the thing up and all will be savvy

i ran the demo with no problem. manage to get average of 40 FPS..

41 snow
38 cave

heres the screen grab



but the thing is when i play the demo.. regardless of the stage the demo will freeze. for instance in the first stage the game freezes after i kill all the bugs on the ceiling. on the secodn one the game freezes everytime is shoot the pirates.. WTF

btw im running the DX9 version

Those with missing directx dll errors, pls update your DirectX via microsoft.com. That solved my missing dll problem. This applies to both DX9 and DX10.

Tested the DX10 version last nite. I didn't see anything that was supposedly DX10. The (irritating) snow that falls around you goes into motion blur if you turn around fast. Aliens that attack you also has motion blur effects on certain limbs that lunge out at you. All of which is probably doable in DX9.

Explosions were nice before I realised they were just very-nicely-drawn bitmaps. It didn't have that volumetric smoke effect that I expected to see.

Tonight I will install the DX9 version and test it just to be sure that there's a difference.

Graphics aside, the gameplay is fun. As with all consoley games, you can't quicksave anywhere. In fact, there's no savegame feature at all. This demo gives you 2 levels to play with and you can choose which level you want to play from the main menu. Each level maybe lasts 15-20 minutes depending on how much you explore (don't expect Oblivion-type open lands though).

For a console port (this is an Xbox360 game), it is very well done. You getting keyboard, audio and graphics options from the main menu. The advanced options allow you to specify multi-GPU (for SLi/CrossFire rigs) and multi-threading for dual-cores (ingame option is called Concurrent Operations). Max resolution is limited and could not go for the 20" widescreen resolution of 1680x1050. The ratio was also a little whacky so I just settled for the default 1280x720 which looks good anyway.

There's a Performance Test option where it will runs through the first level of the game and show you the average FPS based on the graphic settings you set. At maximum resolution and settings (including AA and AF), I got around 7-9fps on the 8800GTS. At default settings and res, about 40-50fps.

The controls are nice and so is gameplay. There's a little bit of non-linearity when it comes to battles and you can choose how and where you want to fight the 10-foot 200 ton alien. Plenty of mean looking aliens to kill, plenty of weapons to choose from - you can only carry 2 at a time. Interesting gameplay elements e.g. digging the snow to find hidden stuff, collecting thermal energy dropped by aliens to keep yourself warm (translates to extra hitpoints in the game), and other cool action stuff you need to experience for yourself.

More info as I do more, ahem... testing. I never did manage to survive the entire first mission.

UPDATE: tweakguides.com came out with some nice screens comparing DX9 and DX10. Pop over for a look: http://www.tweakguides.com/LP_1.html

Anyone got this error message when u try to open the game?

@nakata, as I mentioned, update your DirectX files via Microsoft website.

DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer (April 2007)

This post has been edited by ZipD: May 17 2007, 01:47 PM

ZipD, you play this demo on Vista right?

I play DX9 version on Windows XP using 158.22 ForceWare driver.

I can't play the demo games, aside from performance test. The game will randomly freeze in any part of demo game. sometimes it will run without a hitch, somtimes it will freeze and force me to Alt-Tab back to desktop.

Maybe the drivers on Windows XP has an issue, do you encounter this on Vista DX10 demo?

Yup, sry... i though my system already using the lastest DirectX. Thx

Anyway try it on my system with default setting, run quite smooth. But anything set to medium n highest resolution, it will be very lag.

Its quite disheartening to see my 7800GT slowly curling up and die amidst all this next gen stuff. I bought a high end GC for it to last at least 3-4 years! I bet my rig would've lasted longer if it were not for a DX9-DX10 leap.

This post has been edited by slickz: May 17 2007, 01:58 PM

Didn't have any issues once I updated DirectX. I'm using the beta 158.43 drivers on Vista.

I didn't update the DX9, I just download the missing dll from some websites >.<

guess I will try to update DX9 to see if the problem still persists~

Cool.. it looks like theres a 'built-in' benchmark?..

*downloading now*

Hopefully its a solid port... considering Capcom are "known" for $@#% up ports...

Unlike SEGA

Cheers

X2

i suffer thsi tahng also.. very random. havent reinstalled my DX9c as yet. will prolly do it later. im using 160.02.......just testing this new driver. i'm waiting for this game to come out before comitting to VISTA. thanks for the memries XP. its been fun.time for the GTX to be unleashed!!

this game is insane, just playing it for 10 minutes on default, the GC's temp gone up to 63C, the highest record in among all the games that I played so far

the game is playable at 1280*960, on default and no AA at all... it has obvious frame lost when applying 4xAA

now I know that DX10 games will fire up ur card




later try out the DX9 demo... think it will not stress the card that much

This post has been edited by dattebayo: May 17 2007, 04:55 PM

i was blown away by the intensity of this game. the pirate battle at the end is just awesome. looks almost realistic really. wow.. this game loooks cool but i read the game review a few months back and its not too good... maybe its the control. i cant wait for this game... the demo is just not enough!

so anyway.. set everything to default and ran the bench again. suprisingly only the snow stage improved from my high setting test (71FPS). the cave demo still stuck at 41 FPS... thats only 3 FPS better than 1600x100 on max setting... CAPCOM better tweak this game before release. i dont want to suffer like i suffered playing Splinter Cell Double Agent!!

Still experience random freeze after updating to DirectX 9 April 2007 update. Seems the driver for Windows XP has the problem~ T__T

edit: Yay~! seems this driver fixed the freeze issue:Forceware Windows XP 160.02 WHQL on Guru3D.com

Its for Quadro, but support all cards from FX series. and now I can enjoy the demo~

This post has been edited by RevolutionWorks: May 17 2007, 11:23 PM

LOL.. dam insulting when suddenly during in-game, i've gotten this msg...

And i cant even continue playing it... lol

Anyone care to donate at least 8800GTS to me?...

Cheers

The gameplay is cool. I believe we could get the entirely picture of the story in the actual game rather than this pure killing slashing demo.

The physics inside the game is totally mind blowing. The bullets decals are realistic and most of the items are explosive, for effect wise i guess.
The game requires more tweaking and tweaking and tweaking , i don't think 8800 series could be that overwhelmed by this game. If you guys have noticed, turning the Effect Resolution inside the game from High to Low gives the highest FPS boost. It makes your screen goes a little bit blur when facing some light source . I wonder what it really does anyway.

Well, the crosshair control inside the game actually sucks. You'll feel the delay of the shifting of crosshair even at 40 fps. And, can we have a radar ? Wouldn't it make things a lot easier?

the targeting is slow. even on level six the game character moves slowly.. but the EXPLOSION...........geeeeeeeeeeeeeeee........looks like a michael bay+katsuhiro otomo kinda movie.. BEAUTIFUL

haha.. it does feel like playing an anime...hahaha

has anyone check out the rocket louncher. that thing is ridiculous. now way the fella can carry it......but i like neway. games aren't suppose to be too realistic .....

Excellent tip RW, this allowed me to run dx9 demo perfectly. I had the same problem as you when I tried the DX9 version. I was testing the DX9 demo on Vista, very frequent hangs (alt-tabbing out the desktop shows that the gfx driver had 'stopped responding'). The same goes to XP, hanging every 2-3 seconds. But only the game does that, the OS itself is ok so can still alt-tab out and end task the game. Well, the game doesn't hang permanently though, it freezes for 5 seconds and the game's renderer will try to recover itself but after it does, it starts freezing again.

I tested the 'Windows XP 160.02 WHQL' drivers RW mentioned and it fixed my XP issue. However, I didn't try the Vista version of the drivers.

Impressions on DX9 version:
1. I had lots more fps in DX9 than with the same settings in DX10. The game is smoother, faster and slightly more responsive.

2. I noticed that in DX10 version, there was another resolution you could set besides the maximum of 1280x960 in DX9. In DX10, I could go one more step higher which is 1360x<somereswhichiforgot>. I think it's for HD. Then again, you could customize your settings to whatever resolution by editing the config.ini

3. There wasn't any visible motion blur in the DX9 version. Unlike what I saw in the screen caps from tweakguides.com. I tested both DX9 and DX10 versions using 'Default' graphical settings. IIRC, the settings were exactly the same.

4. Water definitely looked better in the DX10 version.

lol, in the other hand, the only xbox games i wanna play is Halo2+3(few years later) or even Halo Wars, y, coz MASTER CHIEF juz rocks. Lost planet seems cool

installed and played the Dx9 version. barely playable. at snow level, 38fps and 20fps in cave! 1280*720, HDR, 8XAF, no AA, mostly high setting but shadow resolution low. the blur effect seem like broken....

i like the animations, especially when equipped with Gatling gun. cool!!

dun worry with ur performance becoz this game is not optimized yet...

i also get the same msg but i manage to continue to play i think when the fps drop below 10, the game will display this msg.

my 6600 just cant handle this game...

Tested both DX10 and DX9 versions in Vista with 160.03 Beta drivers:

DX10 Performance Test: Snow=44 Cave=26
DX9 Performance Test: Snow=55 Cave=29

The tests weren't exactly the same. In DX10, there where more monsters where in DX9, those monsters were missing. Dunno why.

Even I got low fps in the cave performance test (23fps in cave test), but in the game, I can play this cave level with higher fps, (32fps). Weird.....

Here is the pic on the Lost Planet demo on my PC (all at default settings, 1024x768):








Overall, I say this game is awesome~ Its fun to play and the graphics make me drool~

omg i want to play this game

any idea when this game will be out?
sorry if i missed that out.

I wonder how the game will look like if you change your proc to dual-core. I thought the proc is limiting your gc's true ablities??


==============


When will the real game out arr?? Interested with this after seeing the screenshots..

The game has multi-threading. There's an option called 'Concurrent Operations' where you can set the number of processors/cores.

Yeah, I think so. but maybe in june I will switch my processor to E6420~

The game will release on 26 June: Lost Planet release date

Don't know its true or not.

I'm using P4 640 that support HT, does that mean I can enable it even I on single core processor?

btw, this is the pic taken using X1950pro (credit to zer0Nehza) in DX9 demo with high setting blur, 16x AF, 4x AA model high, others default:


I try to replicate the test using the same settings:


What do you think about the Image Quality? I personally say that 8800GTS snow looks very soft, and much better IQ than X1950pro. not to mention the performance~

This post has been edited by RevolutionWorks: May 20 2007, 10:10 AM

the last boss in the snow cave is awesome.. texture and game wise. i dunno why this game got such low marks on the 360. prolly the control

its like playing steel batallion all overagain! awesome!

this game lost planet does not support shader model 2.0 >.< feel bored now !!

Man feel like need quite high requirement on this game.
I'm using 7900gs, need to set 800x600 set full quality then only get 40++ average FPS .

I am running Lost Planet using a 7600GT on medium-high settings...around 15fps only.

But my problem is, even with absolutely lowest settings, all my controls have a ~1 second delay even though my fps is fast...wth. Anyone else have this problem? I'm running Windows XP, forceware version 94.24.

Hope the finished product won't be like that, otherwise im gonna miss out on alot of fun.

EDIT: Nvm, I think it's just the lag!

BEST Third Person Shooter game I played on the PC in a long time. Definitely woth buying, the keyboard and mouse setup works just fine however if you use a controller even better. Friend played it on his 8600GTS with DirectX10 setup, the graphics made me Wow!

because u overclock ur pc try to lower down to default clock speed for your proccessor and see got hang or not...

this game is awesome..any 8600GTS facing lag when playing this game?

Where the hell you all got this game lol. Pcgame and TSB is still in preorder stats.

Nope, pretty much any 8600 series and above run this game in high details fine. Heck even a 8700M GT can run this with good performance, so far I can say this game is really optimized for DirectX 10 cards and Vista.

There are some not so "honorable" sources dude, however only played the demo. Still waiting to get the full game, Lost Planet is definitely worth buying.

my Gc Msi NX7900GTO, i update with this beta, but after restart my pc, it said the driver crash.soo i bact to forceware 94.24.i can run this game,but i cant play DIRT.This beta driver got prob or my gc?

I'm still getting driver crashes even with the latest 163.11 beta (162.22 oso same). Vista + DX10 path. Aihhh.

i think 94.24 is the balence 1 la.163 got crash many time lol~

owh, it's working fine now 163.11. Haven't had the usual crashes so far.

saw this game at sg wang RM139.90
wow~~

Well, in Australia oredi out few days ago liaoz , like last time C&C3 was out first here before U.S ..heh

Cheers

Guys, any tips to kill this monster? I play on easy mode but this monster still hard to kill lol

keep shoot its hand till broke..den its head will drop down..den keep shoot its head

See the red spikes above it? You can shoot those to drop them on the monster.

HALO?

lol

that game is overated. i am waiting for GoW.... halo didnt do it for me. half life 2 is much better.. by a factor of 1000

i think this game only about it grafik.Game play haih i plyed until stage 8 and now adi bored.Just running2 shooting bad guy and alien.and cant hide behind wall or do more actions.How many total stage for this game?

it is arcade-like action afterall. guess it's meant to be enjoyed in short bursts. nice VS vs Boss battles, and the graphics are lurvely.

Oh, like that ka? I already try, but IIANM the hand will grow again

Already try that, monster still alive & kicking

---

Of course it will grow again. Once the monster is down, taruk kaw kaw his top section with rocket launcher before we grows his legs again, it will be dead in no time.

Im facing that Isenberg right now. Almost gonna end liao

This post has been edited by Thunderbolt: Jul 19 2007, 08:57 PM

u have to shoot 2 legs of that monster to bring it down,then u have to shoot it's head(red orange part).when its leg grow back,u shoot 2 legs back to bring it down bla bla bla bla.

anyone faces this problem? i can run the dx10 trial on my vista without problems, but the dx9 trial has problems running on my win xp instead..wat the hell? whenever i juz play a while(at the very start of mission 1) n den it crashes my whole comp, forcing me to restart. anyone knows wat is my problem?

hi ther can my comp ply tis game???
i'm oni using a x800gt..... haiz... no money 2 upgrade...
