Legend of Grimrock

Looks great! I will definitely put my order in.

Looks like an interesting mix between realtime and old-school cell-based RPGs.

Being that I don't pre-order games anymore I'll wait on reviews for this one.

Cool- Dungeon Master 2012 I spent MAAAANY hours on DM and the sequel (something or other about Chaos) back in the 80's on the ST and Amiga platform. They were so great for their time.

First review

Based on that review I put my pre-order in. I don't normally do that, but it looks to be a good one.

I paid $500 for a 512k ram module for my Amiga so I could play this game in 1990.

Heh. I had an Apple II with a tape drive son. THOSE were the days... (and yes, I had an Amiga 1000 too )

Here is TotalBiscuit's take on grimrock

Who are you calling son? You must have been rich, I worked and saved to buy a Commodore 64 and the worlds largest floppy disc drive.

I played lots of those old-school dungeon crawler when I was younger. I will probably pick this game up for nostalgia and tide me over to D3

The game is good and quite addicting.

Nice to know.

the reviews are also very positive. Guess I'll have to bite

Grimrock has been good and fairly true to its roots so far (I think I'm on level 4 or something). My only complaint would be that I start feeling queasy if I slide along sideways facing the walls! Very strange. Anyway, I learned quick that you really should turn on V-Sync! My 2600K system with 6970 was burning up - Fans had gone high, temps were way up like I was running a hardcore benchmark and fps was over 200 - well if you don't keep v-sync on, it basically does act like a burn-in benchmark like furmark. So remember that when you're thinking 'how the hell is this basic game rockin my machine?!'

turn on triple-buffering.

Anyone have any opinions on the audio? I'm thinking about buying it and it seems like a good headphone game to play with EAX turned on since the reviews say it feels like you're in a dungeon.

EAX works in anything if you turn it on, even under Vista and 7 it still works perfectly in every game I have played that used it in XP, and in this case, EAX has a preset or two that should work perfectly for Grimrock so I'm thinking it would be great to give it a shot.
