Re: PC Gaming Thread

Final Fantasy XIII announced for PC release as a trilogy (XIII-2 and Lightning Returns). The base game (XIII) is coming to Steam next month, apparently for $16 ($14.39 currently for the pre-order)

http://www.pcgamer.com/2014/09/18/fi...ng-next-month/

As much as I disliked XIII, it's kind of neat to have a modern, non-MMO Final Fantasy on PC. Also FF IV redux was released on Steam earlier htis week.

Link for FF IV: http://store.steampowered.com/app/312750/

Re: PC Gaming Thread

I never finished FF13 on 360. I'd almost be tempted to get it again on PC.

Same, price is right. If someone makes a mod to make the cinematics skippable I may even finish it.

GTX 980 and 970 released by Nvidia. Power efficiency on these are pretty sweet.

No 960? (That's great news! Since I have a 760).

Re: PC Gaming Thread

Probably will just come later, the 760 and 660 release also came 1-3 months after the higher end parts.

Ah gotcha. Well considering it still gets me 1080p @ 30 - 60 fps at high - ultra settings I'm pretty content still.

Why do I have a feeling the stuck with 4gbs of vram because it will eventually bottleneck with 4K games. I was hoping for at least 6gb to be honest. Kinda happy because I will keep my 780s another cycle or two. I am looking forward to moving up in resolution eventually!

Re: PC Gaming Thread

Hope this goes here- we bought Minecraft for our iPad for our son but now we want to have him do it on PC so he can play with our local friends group. Is there a way to transfer his file to a PC version or do we just have to buy it again and start over?

Yeah, you'll have to purchase the PC version -- I believe it's the most expensive version of the game at $26.95.

Ryse (October 10th) will NOT have microtransactions in the multiplayer.

Here it is at 1440p - the framerate increase definitely shows.

Vane looks gorgeous:

1440p Mordor:

Keeping in mind that those LPC machines are roughly $5k a piece.

Recommended Requirements for Evil Within:
64-bit Windows 7/Windows 8
i7 with four plus cores
4 GBs RAM
50 GB of hard drive space*
GeForce GTX 670 or equivalent with 4GBs of VRAM
High Speed Internet Connection
Steam account and activation

Lazy port too, apparently.

http://www.polygon.com/2014/10/9/695...-steam-release

Final Fantasy 13 runs in full screen at 60 frames per second, Square Enix says, but the PC version's resolution is set to 1280 x 720. There is no in-game option to change that, early adopters on NeoGAF and the Steam forums are reporting. The game's cinematics also appear to be more heavily compressed than the game's PlayStation 3 version, which was first released in 2009.

Another quirk: The game immediately quits when hitting the Esc key.
