you will probably be disappointed then, since it only comes with UEd4

The game is so much fun. I have never had such a good dm experience in a long time. I like:
  • The weapons are refined.
  • Running around and hiding behind corners with a charged impact hammer and smashing anyone that comes close.
  • Its faced paced, and its twitchy. I love a bit of run n' gun especially when its extreme.
  • The two DM maps are well layed out and fun to play.
  • The graphics.
I will be buying this for sure.

Now as you many have noticed in those screens there is a lot of "fog" blurryness and general lack of colour.

Follow the tips in that thread (especially post proccessing and motion blur) and my word the game looks 10x better.

FPS takes a hit as you are now rendering more detail at distance but in 1280x1024 everything maxed 4xaa (via bioshock hack) i still get 40 fps comfortably.

All the colours are more vibrant (the green of the biorifle, rocket fire etc) and enemies are clearer to pick out. All in all a must do to get the best of this game!

Ok so i turned off only depth of field and motion blur in the INI and look at the difference (4xAA btw)

The improvement is great imho. The colours are more vibrant and distinguishable. Everything is much crisper (after all we dont have cataracts!)

And any fps drop is barely noticeable even in 24 player multi. Obviously the DOF helps hides the jaggies so forcing some AA on is essential.

Whoever at epic decided that their dof looked good needs a good kick in the arse!

Yeah the other map (cant remember the name) doesn't have so much blur on so thats fine and suspense (vctf) isn't blurry either.

The first of the screenshots doesn't have AA on the second has 4x AA. Ingame it looks a lot smoother with the AA on and it was very much welcome but the blur is seriously overdone in shangrila. I hope that the demo does indeed have cut down textures and the full version is better. Ill be buying it just to get my hands on unreal ed 3 :D.


Yea I got ut04 and got ro.

I wonder what super amazing game I will get with ut3!
