Frontline Reports from the Invisible War [Nov 26, 2003, 12:41 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Following the release of the demo for Deus Ex: Invisible War (story),
a Delay Deus Ex:
Invisible War Petition is online (thanks Scott) hoping to forestall the
shooter/RPG sequel's release until some issues are ironed out, an effort that
is probably futile in light of the game's gold announcement (story).
In response to the types of complaints found in the petition, a post to the ION
Storm Forums by Chris Carollo addresses some of the points made by
detractors, and offers an unofficial Dxinvisible War Demo FAQ explaining why
things are handled as they are, and outlining a few settings that can be
tweaked.
"Sign the Petition, its why we got a response at all, sign the PETITION, please."
The game went gold yesterday. It's planned to be in stores a week from today. No petition of any kind is going to motivate I.S. to stop production now. The financial hit that would cause makes it completely out of the realm of consideration. Pray for a really big patch (of course, that's likely to happen anyway).
"Try turning off AA, when I turned that on I was getting terrible frame rates, off the frame rates jumped to silky smooth."
Anti-aliasing has been available to gamers for how long now? Two years? Three? I'm not going to turn off a common, expected video card feature that works fine for me with every other game I play. It's not my fault that DXIW runs like shit with AA enabled, and I'm not going to gimp the features available with my card just because I.S. can't manage to implement efficient shaders. My card is the best available on the market aside from the 9800XT and it cost me a lot to buy it; if I.S. wants my $50 for their game, it's theire responsibility to make sure it works with my hardware.
