Yeah, he's also the bloke that got J&G the M$ & SIE gigs, made the LS shop, hosts the websites and forums FOR FREE all whilst running a studio that's currently developing a highly anticipated first-party game for Microsoft.

So no, not professional at all.. :D





It's true though, he is a bit of a cunt ;)

Gravy is an asshole. And also awesome. Awesome people are frequently assholes (it's part of what makes them awesome) so that's ok. :)

Hmm... Maybe I should replace "asshole" with "cunt" to make it translate better.

Nah!

Just played the GR Rev demo, and it's looking very superhappyfun. The demo is a bit short, but it definitely served it's purpose of whetting my appetite. Nice to see it runs ok on my PC (a bit of a weird hodgepodge of very fast graphics card and ancient CPU), will definitely be dropping some dosh on it before long.

It's too early to tell if I'll love it as much as GR++, but it's nice that it is, in many ways, a very different experience and not just a remake with shinier graphics, like a lot of sequels tend to be.

Any chance of it getting on Steam at some point, or is that just too much of a logistical nightmare to be worthwhile?

Couldn't we just mashup our own online leaderboard of people are that desperate? use some CMS, register, post your score with a screenshot, munge some plugin to create a list. ubiquitous iPhone app for 59p.

I'd do it but I'm very very lazy.

It's been mentioned in a few threads that the best way is under BootCamp and XP.

Just a small warning to anyone with a recent ATI card and playing on a 2nd monitor/TV (using the 'Extend Main onto TV' option) - don't do it! It's how I've been playing the game since release (all the way up to Phaal 50), and I tried it just now playing on the main monitor only instead, and for some reason the game runs much faster on the 2nd monitor when using the 'Extend Main onto TV option'. The whole game now seems incredibly sedate having been through it all in a sort of turbo mode! If you've done all the levels and want more of a challenge, try it! I couldn't do Phaal 50, but as soon as I switched it to just the main monitor I did it first time.

According to this thread (on the actual support forum ;) ) the game isn't frame limited, just locked to the vsync. Therefore if your second monitor has a refresh higher that 60hz the whe game is going to run faster.

According to Giles that's 'intentional'.

possibly in your one RIK but on my iMac it was only playable through bootcamp.
Under VMWare the ship and sheep were not visible.
