Delicious skill trees
Gee, a beta that isn't optimized. Shocking.
So keys are already out? Didn't get one
Nope, Dice just gave streamers/developers a lot of codes to giveaway on social media. Emails still will go out tomorrow.

Still have a chance then, nice
Oh my... what kind of settings do you need to reach 60?
EDIT: Ok that's from last month, never mind.
I'm really liking it.
I think locking key movement abilities (the landing roll, quick turn, and crouch jump is silly. They should all unlock within the first half hour-hour. Game needs to push you to unlock them. It was so much more fluid when I unlocked the roll.
It feels... easier? Not sure, haven't played the old one in years.
Loving the open world. I was really worried about it but they did good.

I can't even reach 60 when looking straight at a wall. This beta is really quite messy. I hope they get their shit together for the final release, but 60fps seems like a pipe dream, why I don't really understand. "Beta" or not, this game doesn't look anywhere near as good as Battlefront and runs at less than half the framerate on my machine.

After what I've seen I don't even want it anymore. It looks pretty bad an shits all over the clean and minimalistic original. I guess it is expected though. Every game these days needs progression, unlocks and handholding.

Big fan of the original, bought and played it on two platforms. Registered for the beta on day one. Hoping to get a key tomorrow.
I can no longer remember what platform I picked and it seems there's no UI to even review this, let alone change it, but I think it was PC.
Based on early reports it's probably going to murder my 760 4GB.

This is a closed beta nearly 2 months from release so you are real confused if you think they want you to purchase exactly what you are testing todayThis is the worst performance I've ever gotten on a game since I got a 280X. This is unpurchasable for me.

Someone else mentioned that today's codes were only limited to those that signed up for the EA newsletter (frontrunner).
Whatever the case is, it would be nice if there was a sure chance of getting access.
Yeah the unlocking of movements feels weird. Like you already have 12 of them unlocked from the get-go. I don't understand why even locking the last 8 or so movements is even needed.
Combat and the gear stuff makes sense to me. Movement does not.

The bulk of today's codes are from social media and press giveaways, not from normal sign ups

Not a fan of all this beta code begging on Twitter today while people have to wait for email tomorrow to even know they got in.
Anyway, y'all GAFers who get it, upload footage of actually being good at this game. Because GAFers are the best.

runs OK at Ultra 1080p on a 290X (4690K &16GB RAM)...not going to say it's perfect because it's not...it keeps a high FPS the majority of the time but when it hitches or drops frames it's noticeable
I know it's a Beta and also there's no new drivers or patches out so performance won't be optimal...I suck keeping a good momentum going and getting good times as far as gameplay goes

Rolling is still in and you can't just hold in mid air, has to be timed close to impact
One of the first skills you can get

Beta is downloading, I am so, so freaking excired guys!
How long does it take to "beat" the beta? How long a play session do I need to plan for tonight?
Edit: Oh, can the beta be played offline? If yes, has anyone by chance found the cheatengine code for gaining XP? I want to play without that crap and am not looking forward to having to find the offset.

Some footage I recorded from the PC version on Ultra. i7 2600k, 8GB RAM & GTX 970. The video might still be processing.

exact same setup I have now with everything oced so I'd like to see.
Need to know this too. The atmosphere and the music were like half the game for me last time.
Nope.
I'm barely into it and it is amazing what I've heard. It reminds me a mix of Portal 2 and Mirrors Edge 1

I just got a code off Twitter, downloading now! I can't believe I got that lucky, haha. If I get a code tomorrow I'll definitely post it for someone to take on here!

Really enjoying it so far. The quick turn and roll are like... essential though so I still don't get why they're locked. But yeah, once you get going, feels really good. And I honestly believe that going open world was a fantastic decision for this franchise. It's so much fun just to run around and try to get to different places taking different routes... really good.

Yeah it's definitely fun and open world does suit it more than the linear original. It's strange that quick turn and roll are locked. First things I bought when I could.
Voice acting isn't great. Faith sounds bored most of the time. Morgan "Birdman" Freeman sounded the best so far.
Performance isn't ideal but I'm putting that down to being a beta. Hopefully they can nail that for release, the delay might help.
Part 2 of my PC footage is up
Stop complaining about performance when you don't have enough ram to run it on ultra (Another poster said it hit 11GB of Usage at comparable specs)

Stop talking until you play it yourself.
