Splinter Cell Double Agent (PC)

Tork64 · Nov 4, 2006, 04:46 AM

Pretty nice, graphics are kickass, performance is real nice too, could play it on max with little slowdown on my old athlon 2800 with a 6800GT. Here are some screenshots i took right when i started.

I have fx5500 , should I buy this ? low settings are ok for me.

ThirdEye · Nov 4, 2006, 05:50 AM

Let me guess, there is no AA ?

I have not tried it yet, but im guessing it might turn out like Far cry when having HDR and AA on.

There is an option

FSAADegree=0

Also there are a whole bunch of ini files.

SplinterCell4.ini <- this is the main one that controls my settings. But then there are other ini files.

SplinterCell4Xbox.ini
SplinterCell4Xenon.ini
SplinterCell4Xenon_for_whitekit.ini

each have different video settings.

Why are all of you so surprised? How else is the XBox360 version of this game going to sell? The developers know that the PC gamers will buy this regardless of the graphic quality compared to the XBox360, and they know that they need to make the XBox360 look as pimp as possible right now, so the graphics are better on the 360.

So what?

It's when that argument turns into "because the graphics aren't as good as the 360, the game isn't as nice" that everyone goes brain-dead...

Evil Nemesis · Nov 4, 2006, 06:50 AM

plz provide a link for single player DEMO, if available ! Thanx

Major-Minor · Nov 4, 2006, 06:51 AM

Damn I thought the demo was finally out....the game will release here after 3-4 weeks. More Screenshots and thoughts on gameplay please.

kilmas · Nov 4, 2006, 07:08 AM

i have pre order the game,i will hopefull get it the 10 nov.tork64 you download pirat copy of splinter cell.i coud have dont that myself but i deside to buy it in stead.i had hoped for a demo,but no demo still.

apollooff320 · Nov 4, 2006, 11:48 AM

Bull****...I have the Xbox 360 version and this looks the damn same. I havn't played the PC version but by those pics they look the same. Damn fanboys.

SOCOM Ops · Nov 4, 2006, 12:33 PM

Are these screens legal? Look good IMO I think Ill get this one too.

**pahncrd** · Nov 4, 2006, 01:58 PM

Other than AA it looks pretty similar to the 360 version.

RedQueen · Nov 4, 2006, 03:20 PM

very nice.. I really like the over the shoulder view.

Bender · Nov 4, 2006, 03:28 PM

Looks really similar to F.E.A.R, but still probably gonna pick it up (depending what the reviews say).

Shapeshifter · Nov 4, 2006, 03:33 PM

is the PC version the same as the x360 one?

Or the same as the Xbox/Ps2 one?

becuase both games are very different.

Xenethyl · Nov 4, 2006, 03:40 PM

The PC and X360 versions of the game are the only ones dubbed "next-gen." They are supposed to be identical.

Dark_Swordmaster · Nov 4, 2006, 03:43 PM

Excpet the 360 version's legit. I thought piracy's ethics dictated avoiding attention and pretending you have a retail copy...

Who are you to say someone has a pirated version. For all we know it's a legit version. Have you ever thought that some ppl will warez a game because a demo isn't out to see if it will work on their system? This game doesn't work on alot of ppl system just to let you know.

Tork64 · Nov 4, 2006, 04:03 PM

I have the game on preorder, I just bought NWN2 the other day. If I like the game I buy it.

No ****. Look, I know plenty of people that do that from another forum. An "extended demo" if you will. And no **** it doesn't work on a lot of systems, being SM3.0 only and all.

But come on, the game isn't even out yet.

Don't you dare call bull**** on me when you can't even back it up.

EDIT: BOOM! Proof:

pointblank_187 · Nov 4, 2006, 04:26 PM

Here's some from me. I have the game ordered and paid for already just to be honest couldn't wait.

The game is VERY NICE so far. Only complaint I have is that the controls seem a little sloppy compared to the rest but not by much. Also had my very first crash ever in the entire series today. Frame rates have been rock solid and no slow downs whatsoever. So used to playing unoptimized games lately that this seems like Christmas coming early.

Gonna have to see if I can find a way to enable AA but it's not extremely noticable in game.

But come on, the game isn't even out yet.

Don't you dare call bull**** on me when you can't even back it up.

EDIT: BOOM! Proof:

someone got their feelings hurt?

I'v just played through the first level on the PC version and it's the same as the Xbox 360 version, but AA doesn't work for me so ATI card owners should be happy. The 360 version has jaggies but not as bad as im seeing on my setup.

Tork64 · Nov 4, 2006, 05:03 PM

damn im still trying to get passed JBA's little maze to open the safe, its driving me nuts lol.

Dark_Swordmaster · Nov 4, 2006, 05:23 PM

I didn't get my feelings hurt, I'm just proving you wrong in calling me wrong. So eat it, suck it, blow it, just plain *NOUN* it.

I think you need to go read and see that I didn't say you were wrong? Also you didn't prove me wrong at nothing.

Gothic3 · Nov 4, 2006, 05:33 PM

I've tried, Ubi blocks chuck driver using a loader.exe, if you directly rename splintercell4.exe to oblivion.exe, it will get an "must check" error, there's a FSAA option in ini, but no effect:

[D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice]
UseVSync=False
Translucency=True
UsePrecaching=True
UseMipmapping=True
UseTrilinear=True
UseMultitexture=True
UsePageFlipping=True
UseFullscreen=False
UseGammaCorrection=True
UseTripleBuffering=True
UsePrecache=True
Use32BitTextures=False
AdapterNumber=-1
ReduceMouseLag=True
UseTripleBuffering=False
UseHWShadowMapping=True
ShadowResolutionDegree=0
ShadowTurnOffDegree=0
bUseSmoothShadow=True
FSAADegree=4
AnisotropyDegree=8
