Yes, this game uses Unreal 3 Engine, for tweaks see this: http://www.tweakguides.com/UT3_1.html

Most of this tweaks might work on all Unreal 3 based' games, like gears of War, Bioshock (this one have a stand-alone guide..), etc.

the game only saves one ini file called screen.ini and all that includes is the resolution and the option to start in fullscreen or not, nothing else, tried adding a few tweaks to it but the file is wiped upon exiting the game and none of the tweaks worked in that ini... so i'm still no closer to tweaking the game.

lol, guess im the only one whos actually enjoying it, just another mindless action shooter, nice.

i like the destructable objects but the blur pis*es me off a bit. Still can't work out how to tweak any settings though, stupid ini files...

the main ini file is located here:

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Midway\Blacksite\Config

"screen.ini" and contains only

[WinDrv.WindowsClient]

StartupResolutionX=1280

StartupResolutionY=1024

StartupFullscreen=True

ini locations in the installation folder of the game:

E:\Program Files\Midway Home Entertainment\BlackSite Area 51\Engine\Config

E:\Program Files\Midway Home Entertainment\BlackSite Area 51\Engine\Config\PC

E:\Program Files\Midway Home Entertainment\BlackSite Area 51\Engine\Config\PS3

E:\Program Files\Midway Home Entertainment\BlackSite Area 51\Engine\Config\Xenon

E:\Program Files\Midway Home Entertainment\BlackSite Area 51\A52Game\Config\PS3

E:\Program Files\Midway Home Entertainment\BlackSite Area 51\A52Game\Config\Xenon

Now i have a feeling it's either A52Engine.ini or PC-A52Engine.ini, but so far i've had zero luck with changing any settings other than the damn resolution.

    • Thanks, Sony and Nintendo, you effectively killed platform-agnostic gaming. Long gone are the days when you could wish to play a specific game on whatever platform you were. Now, you have to buy the hardware just to play that single game. What, you're only interested in THAT game and nothing more? Bad luck, suck it and buy our console.

    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
