Woohoo, finally a console port worthy of my hard earned cash.... now if only it was available through Steam )

 

retail stores in Soton city centre i mean, sorry

 

Ah! Gotcha.
If it's not released until the 16th, you probably won't find it.
It's not one of these Massively hyped games (hyped within the general public I mean) so probably wouldn't have big "Pre-Order Now!" notices everywhere for months before it comes out.

 

It is http://store.steampowered.com/app/17410/

 

why dont you just buy a Physx card....

 

Because he's already got a graphics card that might be able to do it. Why spend more money?

 

it is an action-adventure game, not a platform game.

super mario galaxy is a platform game.

 

Action-adventure is usually a status reserved for a game with a quest-like structure, or games which don't fit firmly in other catergories. Zelda games are action-adventure. This is a game with a firm focus on perfecting the art of running and jumping across platforms - even going so far as to let you kill enemies by jumping on their heads. This is a platform game, or action-platformer as a compromise.

educate yourself.

 

It's too bad that it isn't available on Steam for the UK

 

What? Because it's on wikipedia it must be true and cannot possibly be an opinion? And that even then that opinion should directly influence our internal categorisations or the way we use language in a more simple way to give a truer idea of the game at hand?

 

I believe if you put the 8800GTS in a PCI-E 1x slot and the 4870 in the PCI-E 16x slot it will work as you want. I'm not sure what drivers you'll need installed however (whether you need full nvidia or just their physX drivers). Nvidia help services are always very prompt in my experience, just visit their website

 

It is a platformer, it mainly involves jumping from one platform to another. I mean it's pretty obvious really, yeah it might be in the first person perspective and not cartoony but that doesn't mean platfroming isn't the main mechanic.

 

Are you not even heeding spelling/grammer corrections made by forum members now?

 

I'll say it again - I'm very impressed with the way this looks. It's pretty not because it requires a bazillion googlebytes of RAM or a kidney's worth of graphics card, but because it's been production designed by people who didn't just go "let's make it realistic".

It's beautiful. I might buy it just on that basis, though it's really not my cup of tea in gameplay terms.

 

Is it possible to switch the screenshots from .jpg to .png? Normally the difference would be almost imperceptible, but Mirrors Edge uses such bright colours, and obscene contrast, that the jpeg artefacts on the edges of objects make it hard to tell what's aliasing, and what's image encoding error.

 

Oops - must have missed it before, so I'll nip back and correct them.

 

Greetings!

Another EA published game to buy when it reaches the 9,99€ price tag.

DRM present in retail version:

And Steam pricing is totally absurd for € users.
