I purchased Dead space about a week ago. It would have to be the most scariest game I have ever played.

Game is 3rd person shooter, is very much the similar story line to doom 3, your stuck on a space ship and there are mutated people aliens that try and kills you and you have to work with minimal ammo and health and is puzzle solving as well. Everything is dark and the soundtrack is intense, A dark room and earmuff style headphones and ul pretty much shit bricks.

It is a short game with 12 levels, it took me 3 and a half days to finish with alot of breaks but its definatly worth the money, Basically I was glad to finish it because the more you play it the more you want to get away from the space ship, pretty much makes u feel isolated as your constantly scared of every room you walk into and after about level 5 thats when shit really starts getn intense

but yeh highly recomended on my part. I dont think i wana play it for a while im still getn over how intense the environment is after playing it by myself in a dark room

apparently the controls are a bit dodgy on pc and you need a few tweaks to make it run nice (frames are capped to 30)

Kinda agree with you here, the default keyboard & mouse controls kinda feels laggy, especially the mouse cursor.

Got a 360 controller for my PC & its all good from there, playing in 5.1 surround is awesome :P

I reckon 30fps is aright for a game of this kind, you only really need higher fps for 1st-person shooters.

thats odd they capped out the frames.. i'm getting this atm, should have it by tonight.. how good are the graphics? hope it's not laggy on my pc.. i can play grid and left4dead pretty well on my pc.. Game looks scary as because of the aiming and 3rd person view

um 6000+ X2 amd

4gb rams and a 4870 or some card (card is pretty new cost me a bit) reason i ask is i only get 20-30 fps on a game called crysis even with the new card >< i'll check that link out, think my cpu is only thing out of date

You'll be fine.

Game is smooth on my rig, which is a Intel Q6600, 2Gb ram, G92 8800GTS.

& Your CPU is fine, most games are graphics-bonded anyway (crysis included), only game I know off that is more CPU-bond than graphics is the supreme commander series; when each faction has over 200units onscreen it will start taxing most dual core CPUs.

As for Crysis, its a very poorly coded game. What resolution & detail setting are you running at? If you are running in Hi-def (1920x1080) with everything on max (using DX10) or anything close to it, then its being shown even tri-SLI will lag to 15fps during certain parts of the game.

Also you can download the CCC mod (I think thats what its called) for Crysis, it will tweak the config files & improve your frame rate without any noticeable decrease in graphics quality.

Oh yeh i think i have that CCC file already, i had heard that can help, um all settings are on very high with 2XAA but the resolution is only 1280X1024 (monitor cant go higher)

Thats good that it's the coding that is making it bad then, i was cut as that i bought a new card and i couldnt run it that well hehe, my pc should be alright for 6 months or so then hopefully, cheers man

Theres the cause, running on Very High settings (which uses Direct X 10 instead of 9) will kill pretty much any single card currently available. Even on a modest resolution like yours, Crysis still needs like dual card solution or dual "single" card like 4870x2, even then there will still be times where it will lag. Thats how poorly coded it is...

Also from reading whirlpool forums a while back, many people there pointed out that, have AA on crysis will also have massive drops in frame rate, the drop rate is higher than any other game.

3rd person shooter? Really?

3rd person shooter kinda like Resident evil 4, except this time you can walk/run while shooting :rolleyes:

Yup.

Just played about 30mins of this - its pretty cool. Its definitely gonna make you jump lol.

Dark room & headphone :rolleyes:

You gotta remove the v-sync from the mouse, then it removes that 'lag' that you get. Its enabled by default for some reason but once you remove it your set.

Ohh that's alright then, good to know that it's the game not my pc being spaz, i did sorta get it running better, my friend to put a new sound card in and it's alot less laggy in parts, especially when theres talking going on

Got this game last night, graphics are pretty good, also bought a xbox360 controller last night, soo much better for this kind of game (and GRID, wow xbox controller smashes keyboard lol)

This games pretty cool, you can stomp the monsters when they're on the ground and like almost every body part will get broken off, it looks really good the graphics too and with all settings maxed on my pc theres no lag at all which is good.. Looking forward to playing tomb raider on xbox 360 cont.. gonna be so much better than keybrd and mouse

Also - run it in double/triple buffered iof you want.

Im consistent on around 60-80FPS so its perfectly fine for me, no issus with setup, controls or anything if config'd right.

And this is on a 4850 ICEQ4, its slightly overclocked, and will push it harder over the next week when i get time to do it

The last game I played that did that to me was FEAR. f**king scary shit.

      This is the GTR fuel pump. Yellow shows 12V, orange shows earth. The ECU provides the earth to activate the fuel pump relay. The ECU side of teh relay will pull low when the ECU activates. This is the RB20 fuel pump. Almost the same, but a little simpler. You can see I indicated (above) where the 12V line goes down to the RB20 diagram on the overall diagram, whch shows both RB26 and RB20. This is where I show it coming in on the RB20 diagram below. You can see that the dropping resistor is handled differently. When the fuel pump control is not providing earth to the pump, the pump earths through the dropping resistor and thus runs at lower voltage (some is wasted over the resistor) and runs slower. I showed that "not 12V and not quite earth" portion of the wiring in a paler orange. The rest of the wiring that I did not colour on that little section below the pump would be orange when the fuel pump coontroller is providing earth. This drop is handled inside the fuel pump controller in the GTR. Regardless, you can see where 12V is supposed to be, where earth is supposed to be. The key on prime is via the ECU providing the pump for only a few seconds the switching off. You should be able to see that happen.

      Yeah so when you turn key to IGN the fuel pump should run for a few seconds. If you find the fuel pump relay (and have a multimeter, and a second person) to can check the relay inputs.  One trigger pin should be either fully earthed  The other trigger pin should get 12v from the ECU for say 3 seconds when you turn key to IGN, and at all times that key is at START (note, I said this from memory, it may be the other way around, ie one pin always has IGN 12v and the earth has continuity to earth when you turn the key) One Pin should have a good battery voltage The last pin goes to the fuel pump + Also note that if the power to the relay is good, and the relay is working, it is worth checking the pump has a good earth too. There is a computer in the standard system that increases the earth resistance to slow down the pump when not required, pretty old school and it may have failed

      All this talk about fuel and fancy ECUs, meanwhile my poor old R32 has neither.... When the ignition is turned on, should there be power running o the fuel pump constantly or just for the few seconds it usually takes to prime the pump? About to go have another look at it, have watched some YouTube vids on how to use a  multimeter and looked at some wiring diagrams but really have NFI what I'm looking for because electricity is invisible

      Yuh....but weren't all the supertourers, except maybe the Audis, FWD? I don't recall any of the others being AWD.
