Strike Suit Zero

[MV2000]

The PC rerelease would be sorta pointless if the *only* new thing is better graphics (I recall some people complained about how small the texture resolution is in the original game though) and 'restructured' campaign that is basically slightly revamped version of the first 3 missions, with most of the later missions especially final mission still being as ridiculous as ever. IMHO.Heck, almost no one cared about the modding tools they released either, so much wasted potentials here and there.

Not played it myself but was thinking about buying it, might look out for it next time it in a sale. What about the two DLC didn't they add anything two the game.

[MV2000]

From what I heard, the HotF pack adds several ultra-difficult missions Update video from Born Ready:

And the second vid a Q&A about the game.

Apparently the PS4 version have 3 exclusive ships, looks like representing the 3 existing non-Strike Suit playable ships. [url]http://www.dualshockers.com/2014/03/07/strike-suit-zero-directors-cut-gets-an-explosive-announcement-trailer/[/url]

Couple of pic showing the high def version of one of the ships.

Hehe ultra-difficult missions, for those that haven't tried this and like action this game will definitely fit the bill and if you have a decent;y spec'd machine it is visually a good game too when all the action is going on in the game. Interested in Strike Suit Infinity myself.

Cymatic Bruce did a lengthy, somewhat in-depth stream of this a while back: I thought the soundtrack was pretty slick.

Another update from BRG.  Seems to have some really bad audio on it.

We're gearing up for the launch of Strike Suit Zero: Director's Cut on Steam, and would like to select some of you for a quick test run of the game to help us answer a few questions. This is not a beta test, we'd just like your opinion on a few things.If you've sunk a decent amount of time into the original game (ie you've finished it) and have enough time to play the Director's Cut ahead of release, please post here expressing your interest (alongside the number of hours you've played SSZ) and we'll select some of you to help us out.If you see a Steam friend request from me, you'll have been selected and I can send you a code -- so if you see the request, please accept.If you're not selected, don't fret, the game is VERY close to launch.Thanks in advance,JaminWhy they didn't asked this weeks before launch? Whether it's for betatesting bug finding or not, I find this to be rather weird. Also here's hoping their post-release support isn't as poor/slow as before.

I have Zero and Infinity, but I haven't been able to play either. The framerate is just abysmal, even at lowest settings. It is a laptop, but I can't believe my system can't handle it even at lowest settings. Is it poorly optimized? Is anyone else having bad framerate problems?

[Stanith]

What are your laptop's specs?

[Zathras]

What are your laptop's specs? Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2675QM CPU @ 2.20GHz, 2201 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)AMD Radeon HD 6490M8 GB RAM

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2675QM CPU @ 2.20GHz, 2201 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)AMD Radeon HD 6490M8 GB RAM That's a pretty bad GPU (it's on the lower end of the scale when it comes to laptop graphics cards), so I'm not too surprised that it doesn't run so well. My main suggestion would be to try lowering the resolution, as lowering the detail settings won't reduce the primary issue which is probably fill rate.I think people have been able to run the game on the Intel HD 4000 cards (which is of similar performance to yours, perhaps a tiny bit slower)... so perhaps following any advice for getting it to run on those cards would be a good place to start.Kind regards,Stanith

[Stanith]

Oh, it's probably also worth mentioning that Infinity is a bit more demanding than Zero, because A LOT of capital ships and fighters are spawned on some stages

[MV2000]

The console version will be released tomorrow apparently.

There are some older games that I can play just fine, but this was one I was really hoping would pull through, esp. for the discounted price I paid. Alas, even at lowest settings, it's mostly a no-go. And I can't justify buying a new machine just for a few games here and there. Oh well. Thanks for the help anyway.

The review![url]http://www.dealspwn.com/strike-suit-directors-cut-review-170550[/url] Sounds like more or less the same as the final patched PC version with all DLCs but with much better eye candies and less scripted escort mission easier escort mission & more competent friendlies. update: also out now on Steamstore.steampowered.com/app/288370/ update2: As expected, it's still marred with lots of problem upon launch making it more or less worse than the last year's.[url]http://steamcommunity.com/app/288370/discussions/0/558752450343602240/[/url]

Update from BRG, PC version looks like it being having some problems although it now being patched and they are continuing to work on it and a hint about their next project. 

[MV2000]

Although the first update was out already, I didn't hear it fixed most of the problem though.
