Romier S Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 I know few people are interested in purchasing Dungeon Siege II from the release thread. I just noticed that there is a new demo available out there for anyone that wants to get a taste before biting into the whole sandwhich. Mind you, it's a hefty taste. Weighing in at 1.4gig, you can download the DSII demo here: http://www.gamershell.com/download_10121.shtml EDIT: Alternate download at Fileplanet: http://www.fileplanet.com/promotions/ds2/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covak Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Heh, I'd read they were trying to shrink the demo (from the one on the PC Gamer DVD) for internet release and I thought "Ya, 1.5 gigs is pretty ridiculous..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whooter Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 WTF? No support for 1600x1200? That'll make it an easy buying decision... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted August 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 Joel, add this to the target line of your game shortcut: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Dungeon Siege II Demo\DungeonSiege2.exe" width=1600 height=1200 You should be all set.

And it appears to support any res (and aspect ratio) just fine. vsync=off - The other option I use, since the stupid thing doesn't triple buffer. Forcing anisotropic filtering via your video card drivers really helps. Been too pusy playing EVE to try the demo how is it? I enjoyed it. I loved DS1, and DS2 seems like a lot more of the same (right down to the dated graphics engine :/), but with some nice little improvements here and there. Oddly, some of the nifty features in the LoA expansion for DS1 seem to be missing (dps info for weapons, armor sets). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 Just finished it. It plays more like a tweaked DS than anything really mind blowing. May not pick it up because frankly the one big issue I had(Linearity) didn't get fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
