F1 2014 – PC Performance Analysis

F1 2014 has just been released and it’s time to see how this new F1 game performs on the PC, though we do have to say that we – more or less – already knew what to expect. You see, after finalizing its engine for old-gen consoles, the Codies is currently working on a brand new engine for F1 2015 that will hit PC, PS4 and Xbox One. This obviously means that the team has not made any major changes or enhancements to the engine powering its F1 series, and as such everything is almost exactly the same as the previous part of this series.

Dead Rising 3 – PC Performance Analysis

Well, that was an interesting month. Back in August, we contacted Capcom for a Q&A tech interview about Dead Rising 3 PC. The Japanese company welcomed our request, however things got really weird during these past two weeks. Initially, we agreed with Capcom to publish our interview two or three days prior to the game’s release and while the company was – at least at first – more than happy for such an interview, it never really answered our interview questions. What’s also surprising is that Capcom remained silent and refused to send us a review code for Dead Rising 3 when we requested one. Continue reading Dead Rising 3 – PC Performance Analysis
