GTA IV is still considered one of the best looking open-world games on the PC (thanks to all the graphical mods that have been released these past years). Therefore, it’s only natural to expect a comparison between Rockstar’s old title and Ubisoft’s Watch_Dogs. YouTube’s member ‘Eduard Mackarchew’ has created a video comparison between them. As we can see, GTA IV sports some effects that are not available on Watch_Dogs, such as shadows being casted by the headlights of your car. And while the visuals in Watch_Dogs are better (I mean, we’re comparing a game that was released almost 6 years ago with one that is coming out tomorrow), the attention to detail in GTA IV’s world is way beyond what Ubisoft has achieved. Also, while there are individual waves in GTA IV, I personally prefer the water effects in Watch_Dogs. Enjoy the video!

Street Fighter: Assassin’s Fist – Live Action Web Series – Now Available
We’re a bit late to the party but as they say, better late than never. Street Fighter: Assassin’s Fist has been released and looks spectacular. Although the dialogues are a bit disappointing (especially Gouken when he speaks English), the series itself is stunning. Ken is certainly bad-ass and by far the best character in the series. If you liked Mortal Kombat: Legacy, be sure to watch this because it’s better than it. Enjoy! Continue reading Street Fighter: Assassin’s Fist – Live Action Web Series – Now Available

Watch_Dogs Suffers From Optimization Issues, Runs With Sub-50FPS Without Maxing Out AMD’s FX-8350
Our reader ‘Khodam Hoelo’ has shared with us a video, showing Watch_Dogs running on AMD’s 8-core processor, FX-8350, that was accompanied with an Nvidia GTX780 GPU. As we can clearly see, there are major slowdowns even when this 8-core CPU is clocked at 4.4Ghz. Good news is that the game scales on 8-core CPUs. The bad news is that the game did not stress that particular CPU (as well as the GPU) while the framerate was taking a dive at 40s, suggesting that both Nvidia and Ubisoft will have to release patches and new drivers in order to further polish it. Continue reading Watch_Dogs Suffers From Optimization Issues, Runs With Sub-50FPS Without Maxing Out AMD’s FX-8350
