Okay, all downloaded. I will test it out when I can and give you my opinion

so mph, how was the experience ?
At what settings were you able to run, and did you finish all 3 races available.

Hi Piyush. Honestly, I have not had a chance to play the game. There have been rolling power outages around my fiance's apartment so I have been staying there with her this week. I will check it out this weekend. I did however see that G4 rated this as one of the five best racing games. From what I saw from the clips of the game, I love it. I will give you more detail when I can.

np , i was just curious to know how it runs on the quad , as this game takes a lot more cpu cycles than the graphics. Any time you are free , you may try.
btw - the controlling seems to be easy now after a few tries. Thats the same with every racing game.

Hi Piyush. Okay, I finally got a chance to play the game. Unfortunately, I ran into the same issue that Techie did, "Your graphics card does not support Shader 3.0, which is needed by the game."

I checked the README file and here are the compatible video cards:


Supported Graphics Cards:

ATI Radeon X1300, X1600, X1800, X1900, X1950, HD2600, HD2900, HD3870
NVIDIA Geforce 6800, 7100, 7300, 7600, 7800, 7900, 7950, 8600, 8800, 9800




Looks like I will have to enjoy this game through your eyes. That or get another video card.

[piyushsingh]

hi mph. So its the same thing as techie was facing. Most new graphic intensive games require pixel shader 3.0 . the 8600 i have has pixel shader 4.0.
I had taken out some videos from the gameplay as the replay system in the end in this game is awesome. Somehow they got deleted . Otherwise i would have embedded it here.
I uninstalled the demo as it was done, havent purchased this one yet as i took assassins creed instead. Assassins creed truly rocks. I ll embed some from this one in the thread concerning that game.

[mphenterprises]

No worries. In the late Fall or early Winter, I may be able to plan for DreamPC version 2.0 :D Not a major overhaul but some nice improvements.

Hey piyush, After you alerted me to Assassin's Creed, I found I have an e-mail in my other box from UbiSoft on that. Couldn't download the Demo as I didn't have Quicktime and didn't feel like installing it. Ever since MYST, I have followed UbiSoft, as they tend to do a good job and the graphics are usually top shelf. coastie

that would be nice. :)

Nothing is set in stone right now, especially with you know what happening shortly. If I do make the upgrades, I will submit a blog entry.

Hi coastie. As far as i know there is no demo for assassins creed . I saw the gameplay on a friends PC and was impressed and then got the game .The game is actually a masterpiece , i was shocked on seeing the graphics and the AI is good . Fighting can be a bit brutal if you want to make it. I m really enjoying this one. :D
This was my first for this year , I will go for one more this year. I will have to make a difficult choice between GRID or Farcry2 (yet to come).

The blog entry - ya plz do write one . And I will again trouble you with some experiments and benchmarks. lol
btw - when is the lucky day ?

[coastie65]

Hey piyush, In retrospect, it wasn't a demo but a movie of probably the opening of the game. Anyway, no quicktime, no see. coastie

[mphenterprises]

September 4th. :D

[coastie65]

Interesting. Just before Labor Day Weekend. coastie

[piyushsingh]

Hello All,

Been reading this website for a long while but just joined up to ask a gaming nostalgia question -- I used to play the Final Fantasy original game years and years ago and was wondering do they make that original game for the computer?

I remember enjoying the game so very much but now I can't even remember how to play.

Anyone help me find this game (if it exists) so I can travel down memory-road?

Regards,

JJArms --> Who hear remembers this doll... er... action figure?

Hey JJ and welcome to the forum. The only platform for Final Fantasy was and is the Play Station as far as I know with the exception of Final Fantasy XI Online for the PC. coastie65

Not all final fantasy. The main one's yes, but Final Fantasy III the one that was 3 in Japan and they ported it to the Nintendo DS. Which is a great game by the way. I have also seen Final Fantasy Tatics for the DS, oh and theres that one comming out for the Wii..Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles.









This is the opening for Final Fantasy 3 on the DS <3 this game. Its the only FF that I know of that you don't switch characters out of. You stay with the same 4 the entire time but can change their jobs. Tghe gameplay is much like the original games before Final Fantasy 7.





You know what I had a game too before for the game boy advanced Final Fantasy 1 and 2 the Dawn Souls I played on the DS. Mostly 1 before I lost it.

there was an ff for the gameboy to
