Just Cause 2 - "Fuck you Realism!"

[Bluesummers]

[QUOTE=databee;20588134]"hey lets not support dx9"
"but why? There's pretty much no new features and there's pretty much no performance increase, not to mention we don't even have the hardware yet to support most of dx11 features"
.[/QUOTE]

Most DX11 hardware is releasing within the next 3-6 months

Fun fact: DX10 and 11 give CONSIDERABLE performance increases when doing something DX9 does as well simply because since the rewrite of DirectX they have streamlined the entire process.

Also direct X 10 and 11 DO offer you more visually then 9 does, but not a lot of it is noticeable by the end user. it is things like being able to render effects that previously we had to trick you into thinking where rendered, when in reality they used other methods to provide a smoke and mirrors type visual experience. "soft shadows and high detail particle effects" for example.

Being able to actually do such things enables developers to crate high detailed environments and characters a lot easier then with DirectX9 while giving you room performance wise to add in a lot of other details you would normally have to forgo.

BUT it sounds as if you are not actually raging at anything.

To the statement that removing DirectX 9 is a dumb thing, writing a engine that is backwards compatible is expensive and time consuming, as well as detrimental to a game that wants to take advantage of DirextX's new capabilities, as well as alot of other things that i really do not think you will even care about seeing as i would probably be just as angry if i did not know how much of a "bitch" it is to force a rendering engine to be backwards compatible.

Here are some Out Of The Map screens for the ones, who can't get it work. I must say, that this game has an incredible landscape.

Yeah please stop talking to me like I don't know my shit. Supporting multiple libs isn't as hard as you're making out. Maybe for you it is idk. You can support opengl/dx with a simple interface and then just swap out the dll. If I can do it then fucking AAA game devs can.

I was trying to be as civil as possible but you frankly do not know what you are talking about. Alot of what is going on in Just cause 2 alone will not run by swapping out Dll's and running it with openGL. You are going to have a TON of rendering issues.

Also they simply cut support for directX9 for simple speed and efficiency that DirectX 10 and 11 bring.

Same reason why DICE said BC2 was their last DX9 game ever [Frostbyte 2 does not support 9 it was hacked in manually]
Same reason why the next Unreal engine wont support it
Same reason why countless games coming out in the fallowing year wont support it

Anyone know how many vehicles are in the demo? is it just the two sports cars? or more.

[QUOTE=AirbusA340;20588720]Anyone know how many vehicles are in the demo? is it just the two sports cars? or more.[/QUOTE]

There's a pretty good selection of vehicles...

Helicopters, a plane, motorcycles, etc.

There's even some pretty neat vehicles hidden around the military bases... (Like the sports car-dune buggy hybrid thing...)

[Hick2]

[QUOTE=mondo2004;20588751]There's a pretty good selection of vehicles...[/QUOTE]

Planes, Choppers, Bikes, Cars, Jeeps.

Even an Armoured Van

[AirbusA340]

I know that, I found most of the hidden crap I am just after the sports cars.

[Raidyr]

Actually in Battlefield Bad Company 2, DX9 can't support DX10/11 features, like in-engine anti-aliasing. Running the game in DX9 (more like forcing it, requires config editing) disables the AA.

So yes developers are working on DX10/11 exclusive features. Upgrade.

Not to mention it was done pretty damn quick, 140 posts into the thread. :D

..or maybe it was another thread. I don't know anymore. :l

[goon165]

I have one gripe with the controls,

when you want to zip over to something you quickly double tap the grappling hook key but I sometimes triple tap and wind up aborting the zip which is really annoying. what they should do is make it so when you jump and hit the hook key once you zip to what ever your hooked on to.

that would make my life so much easier.

This is great fun. Had a huge carchase where I has hanging onto the front bumper of an enemy jeep, shot the driver causing the jeep to keep flying straight ahead and over a cliff. I clambered into the driver's seat as it flew through open air and landed with a nasty crunch. I did survive the fall however.

I'm desperate to see the rest of Panau now though. Hanging from a Heli and seeing all the cities and strange buildings in the distance really makes me want to explore. Can't wait for this to be released.

I wish you could use the grappling hook while being in stunt position on a helicopter.
It's such a burden to land, tether x to helicopter, enter it, wait for the rotors to start and then take off.

How do you dual-grapple things?

[Greendead]

[QUOTE=Omolong;20589899]How do you dual-grapple things?[/QUOTE]

Aim into something and hold the grapple button (F) and he will shoot the grapple, but still have the other hand of it in his hand. Then aim into something you want it to be connected with and release grapple button (F).

[Braww]

1. Press F, hold it.

2. Aim at second object/person/thing.

3. Release F while still aiming at second object/person/thing.

4. ???

5. Profit!
