A couple of months ago, we were really looking forward to four major, triple-A titles. Those titles were – obviously – Battlefield 4, Call of Duty: Ghosts, Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag and Need For Speed: Rivals. All these four titles were advertised as the first next-gen games, and to our surprise all of them had issues. Battlefield 4 has instability issues while playing online (and let’s not forget that its latest update crippled its performance on Nvidia’s cards), Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag was not taking advantage of more than two CPU cores, NFS: Rivals is locked at 30fps and Call of Duty: Ghosts had a ridiculous RAM requirement. Not only that, but Infinity Ward’s title suffered from stuttering issues and graphical glitches. The team has released some patches for it that – supposedly – address most of its bugs (and thankfully let us select all the Extra settings) so it’s time to see how this patched up version performs on the PC. Continue reading Call of Duty: Ghosts – PC Performance Analysis

I know, I know. A lot of us were disappointed with RAGE. id Software dropped the ball with this title as the company experimented with its megatexture tech (and wanted to hit 60fps on current-gen consoles). However, can you say no to free stuff? Of course you can but we bet that a lot of you wanted to give this title a go (but didn’t due to its various tech issues). Well, this weekend you actually can get a taste of it. Continue reading id Software’s RAGE goes free-to-play until Sunday

All hell has broken loose yesterday when Videogamer reported that Ubisoft does not care for PC optimization. As we said when we reported that story, that quote seemed to be taken out of context and it appears we were right. As an Ubisoft employee commented on that story, Ubisoft actually cares about the PC. After all, as Ubisoft’s employee claimed, the company wouldn’t bother making its games work on the PC platform at all if it didn’t care about it. Continue reading Ubisoft: “If we didn’t care about PC, we wouldn’t bother making our games work on it at all”
