what's the port like?

[azmothman]

I would be enjoying ORC a lot more if the damn sound would not be cutting in and out.

As you walk around and explore the sound literally cuts, until you get somewhere else and the sound starts again.

So going back to your question this was obviously not tested adequately, I wonder does Capcom even have a QA staff or know how to properly test.

[actionjmanx]

I'd love to tell you how it is but the game won't even start for me anymore.

And yeah, that's "anymore". As in, it worked and I had it running and 20 minutes later it won't start again. Three manual reinstalls later (that's over 21 GB on my bandwidth) and it still fails to even load up.

[Jargas]

Has that port feel with aiming, cant quite get it to feel right with mouse or controller

[ReaperTeh]

Eh, the aiming's pretty alright for me. I put in a bunch of practice and effort, and now I can pull off a lot of medium range headshots with pistols.

The port was pretty alright for me. Despite some AI glitches, frustration (and that's with the game itself, not the port) and a TON of sound cuts, I'd still rate it an 8/10.

You need the GFWL patch installed Steam copies for some reason is not finding the GFWL title update.

it is the first pc game from Slant Six . and it is a very good port considering that this developer has never made a pc version of their games before. very good!

Sounds like an excuse to me. Don't get me wrong though it is a fun game and its not the worst port. But it is annoying when the first thing you encounter is a clunky menu screen that was meant for controller navigation and they've made no change whatsoever for mouse users. Backspace to exit stuff? WTF?! Also, the aim is a bit weird, that weird that comes from port games. Some say no but most of you know what im talking about. No text chat, it would be nice if everyone had decent mic and even more so if no one had ear piecing background noises of children screaming dogs barking and their mother telling lil jimmy time to go eat dinner. That's not happening so have some damn text. Audio issue but unsure if that is directly related to shoddy porting. All of these issues are fairly common in less then stellar ports. My point being that if its their first PC port they really should have put a lil more effort into it not falling victim to almost every quirk PC gamers hate about port games. Especially the coming out long after the console version and all we get is functional over fine tuned for PC Hoping there is some effort made to remedy some of the issues and it doesn't share the fate of other ports that got dumped onto PC with a good luck and no intention to ever fix. Time will tell i suppose

[Enmoku]

It's pretty darn good port compared to other direct ports. They actually spent time making the QTE prompts and similar not throw you x360 controller icons when you don't have it (connected/enabled), which is extremely common problem.

The aiming feels a bit odd, but it's workable like in any game and I can't blame that on the porting process. Can't really describe it, but I think it's because I left the aim assist on (usually aim assist is disabled in PC ports by default, opposed to enabled in the original console versions).

I had some problems with the camera in some places, but I suspect it was just being forced that way by the game because of the scene rather than any real problem with it. So I can't really say that was a problem with the port. There's also the quick draw thing which seems silly on PC, but I can see it being useful when playing with gamepad, not like there's point in removing it, and you aren't forced to use it.

The most obvious real problem is the sound cutting off randomly, which is just plain odd.

[Metal_Izanagi]

Pretty good, sound and mouse control issues aside. The button prompts transfer pretty well to a keyboard, and while they're not going to knock your socks off, the visuals are alright. Assuming you ignore the types that just bash the game endlessly and act like people that like it are corporate sheep, you might enjoy the game. Definitely YMMV material. Personally, I love it, and the only time the sound cut out on me as I played through the second level, I was able to restore it by alt-tabbing out, then back in.

[SoRusty_]

thank you for the opinions

I am a big RE fan, does this game support DX 10/11? RE5 did, that was an amazing port.

Most Capcom PC ports are great, apart from GFWL.

[richymun4]

the game is awful i would not waste £30 on it if i were you its a terrible game in every way it doesn't feel like a RE game at all it is horrible to play with a mouse and keyboard i cant get over how crap its is i cant see how some people are saying its good seriously it is the worst game i have played for a long time.

[Metal_Izanagi]

Doesn't have an option the way RE5 did, if that's what you're asking, OP. Not sure what it runs at, but it looks pretty good, especially the gore. Multiple limbs have explodable pieces for zombies, and you see a lot of blood decals stick around. Might want to wait for a patch to come out, tbh. There's a known audio bug where it just full-on cuts out seemingly at random, comes back, then cuts out again, over and over again. Sometimes alt-tabbing fixes it; sometimes not. There's definitely some mouse smoothing going on in there somewhere, making it a bit hard to aim at times, but other than that, it's a very solid game. Just a suggestion, but wait for the patch if you're still unsure. See what it fixes, maybe ask again, and you won't have to deal with the people talking crap about it simply to talk crap.

O gee its not a survival horror game who'd of thunk it. Just another fool bashing the game cause its not like all the other games. DId you look at anything besides the title before buying?

[ToxicRevenger]

It actually has a FEW auto-aim options that are hangovers from the console version. Disabling them basically gives you normal mouse controls.

The real problem is that NONE of the guns are remotely accurate. I didn't get this feeling from the console version, so I assume this has something to do with difficulty?

The AI is also incredibly frustrating.

get your facts right before you talk im have my own opinion and i don't care what you think im bashing the game because its is rubbish and not worth any bodies time the op ask how the game was and im giving my opinion of the game if you dont like it then ♥♥♥♥ off and by the i didnt buy it i played at a freinds house ok.

[Austin007]

Does it have the same 'can't-aim-while-walking' mechanic as RE5 has?

[BahamutxD]

They clearly didn't have time to change the bottom left graphic while playing to a more PC one.

It's a bad port, it's a bad game, it's full of bugs and right now overpriced.

[Xsjadoful]

backspace used to navigate menus, no option to turn off acceleration, flat out doesnt work above 10fps if you launch it from steam.

One of the worst ports i've ever played, and by played, i mean entered the game, fired a few rounds and thought NOPE.

Your grammar is stunning. You said even less as to why you think its bad and no one should buy it, and the fact that you played it at a friends house once and don't even own the game gives your opinion far less weight. I guess you still can have an opinion though...

;) game runs fine for me in 1920x1080 rezs seting at max... get 32-78 fps on intel i7 930 with nvidia 560 ti plus runing from steam client..! :rolleyes: The only thing i hate most is the sound!!! On and off!! sux!! :p Even alt tab in out game do not work!!! and you do not use back space to go through menu you use right button mouse well it work for me!

[Boe-Os]

Personally in its current state its not worth getting, far too buggy to be enjoyed comfortably. Everyone seems to be getting the sound bug, and the majority of bugs after that are down to individuals computer compatibility.

Before people come in, and state its works great for them, that is a specific individuals experience vs many others, where is does not. You simply wont know what bugs you will encounter, unless you buy it, except the sound bug ofc. So my point woud be why take the risk, just wait it out.

There are good ports, and bad ports, personally I feel this is the latter. Despite how rational othes may try to appear, I can only take them in the form of apologists, too many companies pushing out questionable mediocrity that is being accepted by the community.

[toooph]

Is the d-pad being there really that big of a deal? I mean, really? I laughed when I first saw it and then I moved on. It's certainly lazy but it doesn't affect the gameplay in any way whatsoever; it's harmless and basically a moot point.

As far as ORC being a bad port is concerned, I have to generally disagree. It's not an amazing port but it's certainly not a bad port. There's plenty of video setting options and a fully customizable control layout(aside from some extra mouse buttons you may, or may not have, which is unfortunate). It's a faithful adaptation to the console versions of the game--honestly, I think it's better than the console versions in regard to controls and visuals but that's my personal preference. Optimization could definitely be improved upon and likely will be in future patches--this is nothing new or unheard of in the realm of PC gaming.


That being said, there are issues with the game itself that have nothing to do with it being a port. For example, the sound cutting out is actually a problem which is shared with people on consoles though it may be more prevalent on PC. However, what's important to note is the vast majority of these problems that everyone is currently in a clamor over can be fixed. It's really just a matter of "when" at this point.

Which does suck.

[rabish12]

Pretty much this. The campaign is awful but the versus is extremely fun and has a lot of clever and original ideas, but... well, the game is absolutely broken. Not even in a "bad port" sense - it doesn't matter what platform you buy it on, it's broken on everything.

EDIT: Just to give you an idea, I've played over six hours of the game and I'll probably play it much more after they patch it, but the state it's in right now is so awful that I had to tell a friend of mine who had an opportunity to get it for ten dollars not to. The fact that Capcom allowed it to be released in this state is amazing, even by their standards.

[toooph]

You say there are "many" people in which the game does not work.

Okay, I say there are "many" people in which the game does, in fact, work great. See how that works? Yeah, it doesn't. :P

Just because you, or I, claim something about the game it doesn't mean it's true. And last time I checked, this game sold around 2 million units. Unless you've personally heard from all 2 million, I'm going to have a hard time accepting whatever bullcrap you're trying to sell on this issue. Just because you have a particular feeling about the game, it doesn't mean the greater majority magically agrees with you.

I've seen a fair share of both positive and negative posts about experiences with the game. My personal experience has been pretty positive, that's me. You're entitled to disagree but don't start throwing your assumptions on to everyone else, please.

[volscente]

I think you are wrong, the game has been tested adequately but they decided not to care and sell the game,think about it, everyone is having sound problems, it's impossible that they havent notice befour releasing the game to the public.

Never thrust Capcom!!

Why is the campaign awful? How is versus "extremely fun" and "clever" and the same time the game is "absolutely broken". That's a pretty clear contradiction, lol. It's cool that you're sharing your opinion about the game but some explanations would be nice.

And sheesh, where is this crap coming from about Capcom's standards? Aside from on-disc DLC debacles, I always thought Capcom was pretty cool. I mean, they actually give a ♥♥♥♥ enough to bring their games over to PC.

The campaign is awful because the standard enemies (as in, the spec ops) have terrible AI and hilarious health bloat, and because if you're playing with bots the bots will pretty much just continuously kill themselves on environmental hazards. Aside from that, it's just generally extremely repetitive.

The versus is fun and clever because the game modes are actually original, the powers are interesting, and the basic mechanics are solid. That doesn't make it being "absolutely broken" a contradiction. The fact that it's fun doesn't change the fact that sometimes, you will be killed by zombies that aren't even there. It doesn't change the fact that the sound regularly cuts out completely. It doesn't change the fact that zombies and BOWs will regularly "break" and float in place or start looping animations, becoming virtually invulnerable at the same time (not that it matters, since they do nothing but... well, float in place or loop their animations). It doesn't change the fact that in Survivor, the game will sometimes simply ignore you when you try to board the chopper. It doesn't change the fact that basic design elements that should not be a problem in a modern game, like being able to spawn camp the other team, are problems in this game.

The versus is fun. The versus is clever. The versus is still completely broken.

And sheesh, where is this crap coming from about Capcom's standards? Aside from on-disc DLC debacles, I always thought Capcom was pretty cool. I mean, they actually give a ♥♥♥♥ enough to bring their games over to PC.
The fact that they port their games to PC doesn't mean that they put effort into their ports, or into the games they're porting.

Also, going to mention here as I've mentioned elsewhere that Capcom didn't port ORC to PC. RE5 for PC was ported by Capcom, but PC ports are something that they're outsourcing more and more (sort of like... well, most of their franchises, frankly).

EDIT: Also worth pointing out that ORC's PC port was done in two months, and the PC port of RE5 was done in six.

The fact of the matter is, it doesnt work that great for many people, and I'm sure it does work for many others, although we have established there is a soundbug present for everyone, and some bugs that seem to be in a majority. The main point I was making was that, for the those it doesnt work well with, the odd person ranting how it works for them is not a defense to those it doesnt work for, maybe I needed to add alittle clarity on the matter.

However this thread is titled "Whats the port like?" which is a very subjective matter. The very fact my opening word in my post was "Personally" highlights the fact it was opinion, you're the one bulding a strawman out of my statement, and telling me im the one making assumptions? please...

[Xsjadoful]

It's a sloppy half assed port.

If you can put up with the fact the controls are awful (mouse acceleration with no option to turn it off, any serious gamer would stop reading right here) and the sound cutting out all the time, having to hack the game to play dlc you payed for, then go for it, you might enjoy it.

But the thread asks what is the port like.

BAD.

Fact.

Just because you are willing to put up with a bad port doesn't stop it being a bad port.

Your argument goes both ways was essentially my point, people expressing how miserable they are with the game doesn't change the fact that people who are enjoying it are still enjoying it.

OP did in fact ask for opinions, which you gave, and then proceeded to try and make it a point to disregard other people's opinions or experiences you didn't share. That was the part I didn't particularly appreciate and I even made it a point to quote that particular statement.

But yeah, that whole strawman thing sure did sound neat. :rolleyes:

The game is actually pretty decent, if you're planning to buy the game, don't get it on Steam. The Steam version is way inferior to any other release since you can only play one of two campaigns.

[movacington]

It might be one of the worst tech ports I've ever seen.

[dat_dupe]

It's a good port, the on screen prompts/icons show automatically depending on whether you're using a mouse and keyboard, there's plenty of graphics options, keys are fully configurable and the mouse feels reasonably smooth although could be improved.

There are a few issues such as the sound cutting out every so often and the performance isn't that great. Perhaps the latter is a graphics driver issue but hopefully both of those issues get sorted out.

lolwut, this is it:
http://steamcommunity.com/id/fatcat1/screenshot/577831244412431301

don't mind the xbox icons..i used my 360 pad to play the game.

Graphics options are appalling to say the least..

[Enmoku]

Graphics options are appalling to say the least..
Basic options which you see in plenty of PC exclusive releases too, so "appalling" in relation to quality of the port is hardly appropriate.

[Baresark]

LoL, this thread is ridiculous. Listen, it is not a good port.

Graphic options do not make it a good port. There are many other things which make it a bad port. The UT was not customized for the PC. The backspace should never be used for menu navigation when "esc" is the default go to key in every other PC game (with rare exception). They still have the controller DPAD in the lower left corner. There is no option to turn off the mouse acceleration. I'm quite frankly amazed it took them two months to do this port.

As far as the bugs go, I understand the console has many of the same bugs. The quality of the game is just very very poor. It's just a money grab using the RE license.

I loved Capcom for the longest times, since SNES. As someone who is primarily a PC gamer, I have lost a lot of respect for them. I don't really go for the argument that we should be grateful to even get the game. I made the same argument for the port of Dark Souls for the PC. Everyone basically said that we should just be happy to even receive the game, this is folly. If a game was made exclusively for the PC and had these same problems no one would be OK with it. No one would buy the game and there would be a lot of complaints. But we are supposed to give it leeway because it's made for something else? No, that isn't life. It would literally be better to not get the game at all than to get a game that can't live up to a basic set of operating standards.

[toooph]

Sorry I didn't read the PC gamers elitist manual where it says every PC game should have a hundred different graphics options otherwise it's a poor port. The game has an acceptable amount of graphics options, and as Enmoku said many non-ports have a similar amount of graphics options so no, that doesn't make it a bad port.



So basically you're saying it's a poor port because backspace is used instead of esc for going back in menus and because the tiny little d-pad icon in-game shows up even though every single other on-screen prompt is correct when using mouse and keyboard, okay then. :rolleyes:

And yes a decent amount of graphics options do make it a good port, along with the fully customizable keys, correct on screen prompts when using the mouse and keyboard (except the tiny d-pad icon in-game as you already mentioned), decent mouse support (which doesn't feel like it has acceleration to me and it isn't quite perfect but it's fully playable) and so on. The only real issues are the performance issues and the sound bug, both of which will hopefully be fixed in a patch and I have had similar issues to those in some PC games before (especially on release) which weren't ports so that doesn't make the game a bad port.

Well said, sir.

Agreed, 100%. This game is garbage right now.
