Ah, the beauty of SweetFX. As we said in our Performance Analysis, Deadpool looked awful. Thankfully, the game’s visuals can be improved, though there is nothing that can be done for some atrociously low-resolution textures that have been used. Still, the game can actually look good now, and you can find a comparison between the vanilla version and our SweetFX settings below.

When Deadpool was originally announced, a lot of PC gamers got disappointed. Developed by High Moon Studios, this new super-hero action title was meant to initially hit current-gen consoles only. However, it was later revealed (or should we say leaked) that it would be coming to our beloved platform. Thankfully, Deadpool PC was not delayed – hear that Ubisoft? – and the studio that handled it was no other than Mercenary Technology. So, time now to see how this game performs on the PC.

Activision and Infinity Ward have released a new tech trailer for Call of Duty: Ghosts, showcasing the graphical effects that will be supported in this next-gen version of this popular franchise. Call of Duty: Ghosts will support displacement mapping, SubD, sun-shafts, HDR, volumetric lighting, and high-resolution textures. To be honest though, apart from the SubD technique, these techniques have been used in other current-gen titles such as Crysis 3 and Metro: Last Light. Therefore, we are really puzzled here; does Activision believe that this is what gamers expect from a true next-gen title? You can view the tech trailer below.

Geoff Keighley and Activision held an Early Access event today in which they showcased the SP mode of Call of Duty: Ghosts. Call of Duty: Ghosts was running on next-gen hardware (though Activision did not reveal the platform that was used) and seems to be a true COD game. In other words, it’s scripted to death. The dog in Ghosts will be called Riley and players will be able to control it. And simply ‘lol’ at the ending sequence where the dog jumps in a window, makes a lot of noise and then out of nowhere 5 trained guys with weapons somehow break down a wooden door so it explodes. I mean, seriously now? None of them thought of shooting the dog? Come oooooooooon. Anyway, you can view the streamed footage below, as well as some new screenshots that were recently released!
