  1. Welcome to the community! :]
  2. It'd be better with dubstep and tons of camera effects and like 20 lense flares IMO. EDIT: I totally need to make an Ordo video like this now.
  3. I made a Federation character. You can switch faction at rank 2 apparently and buy other faction's ships so it doesn't really matter it would seem. As pointed out above! Pretty fun game, definitely worth trying since it's free and only about 1.6gb. It does remind me of Freespace, suprisingly, which is awesome. :D I WANT A FRIGATE.
  4. I did a bit of testing on PlanetSide 2, to see if I could boost my frame rate at all, heres a bit of data I gathered: PlanetSide 2 is a very CPU heavy game, but not only is it CPU heavy, it doesn't work well with multi-core processors. Most of the processing seems to be done on one core, which means even if you buy a quad core or something, unless its at like 3~ ghz PS2 is going to have a hard time running. This is why a lot of people on high end gaming rigs are having problems. Even at 3ghz, FPS is heavily limited by your CPU, especially in large battles, but it's playable. Other games like Battlefield 3 utilize more CPU cores and your GPU much more, which is why they will likely run a lot better than PS2 on your new setup. It can utilize a maximum of 3gb ram, because it's old as Ffff, but if background apps aren't allowing it that 3gb ram, then performance may be effected. SOE have done an absolutely horrible job of optomising it for, well, any computers. Unparking cores only helps people on a few types of CPUs because windows had some bug or something and wasn't unparking them properly in games, I don't really recall many of the details regarding that, but it didn't do anything for me either. Windows automatically unparks cores when they are required, I have tested this myself. A lot of people saying "it boosted my FPS by 5-10!!" are just not testing shit right, FPS varies in games, in all likelyhood the exact same things werent going on in the second test, placebo effect sort of thing made them happy because they changed something. So in some games, your computers life is extended with a new GPU, because they don't heavily utilize the CPU or utilize it efficienctly, but PlanetSide 2 is not one of those games. Looking at the CPU you listed, it's like 2.2ghz from what a quick google search is telling me. The one listed in the PS2 minimum requirements is an Intel Core 2 Duo E6850, which is 3ghz stock from another quick google search. You could try overclocking your current CPU, but overclocking is a risky business if you don't have the correct cooling or know what you're doing, it can drasticly shorten the life of your CPU if done incorrectly. Otherwise you need to upgrade your CPU, which means a new mobo, at which point you may aswell grab 12gb of ram because its dirt cheap. Here is a link with the PS2 reccomended and minimum system requirements: [Link] Hope this helps. PS: I haven't read everyone's replies on this thread because i'm tired. EDIT: Also I wasn't reccomending you overclock your CPU, it's just an option if you deem it viable for your hardware. I have done zero research on your hardware so i've no idea if it will work, or explode, or something.
  5. I don't know if this has been mentioned before but since CPU will definitely be your bottleneck in PS2, don't rule out high settings and go straight for low on everything. Some (I don't know the specifics, you will have to google) settings use your GPU more on high and your CPU less which will result in higher FPS.
  6. I want this game so bad. If they remove base building like other RTS games though... I'm going to start murdering people. I think they already confirmed base building somewhere though iirc.
  7. I love the dual sight thing, that will be soooo handy in multiplayer. It's definitely "Battlefield 3.5" but it looks pretty fantastic so far, doesn't stop me wanting a 2142... 2 though. :[ All the Battlefield theme sounds in the past have made me excited about the game, this one makes me think of those stupid "xx 360 noscope MLG xx swag" videos and Call of Duty.
  8. Another good video! Thanks for the repairs while I got a 10~ kill streak on that Sunderer. :D
  9. Awesome. :D I flew off the cliff in my max when I got out lol.
  10. Ah okay, the feedback just made me think you thought it was complete. I haven't even bothered with cameras yet, was just playing with some plugins.
  11. ITS A TEST. :D Not a final thing. Just thought i'd post it.
  12. >http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFb6YaafQfg&hd=1 Particles and lens flare awwwwww shit. Still playing around with ideas for the logo, it's pretty fun! :D
  13. First time using Adobe After Effects/Premiere Pro - I figured we'd need a new logo for our future videos. The sounds aren't edited properly, they're just sort of placeholders. Logo made from scratch in photoshop. Can render it (when it's finished) in any resolution on request, if needed. Still a work in progress but I thought i'd post it anyway!
  14. ^ Anyone can post videos and screenshots here for review by website admins. If they're good we'll put them on the front page! :D (Edit: to be clear, we need these from games Ordo is currently involved in, not SL.)
  15. ^ Was a good read. :]
  16. I've actually been looking for some music with this flute in it for a while but I didn't know the name of it, thanks! The original and remix are both awesome. :]
  17. *Notes down Agares' one weakness for when she becomes a supervillain.* (Congrats everyone.)
  18. Caleb Carstensz for defending Titan on his own against a lonewolf for 40mins like a boss.
