Modern Warfare 2 and Mass Effect 2 maxed out

PC Games published some impressive PC Screenshots of Mass Effect 2 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

menoyou5940d ago

Not impressive at all. I max out these games on a 1080p monitor with a 2+ year old card that only cost me $140 at the time. PC is really getting the shaft, developers are dumbing down the graphics so they match the console versions.

omni_atlas5939d ago

haha, I maxed out settings (all on high) with an ATI 4670 -- and this is a card you can get for <80 USD.

Seriously though, I'm not that impressed with MW2. Graphics weren't much of an upgrade from MW1.

Mass effect has stunning character design, motion and lip sync, but some of the scenery during the battles....are generic landscapes with boxes where you can hide next too. I hope it gets better, just helped Miranda get in touch with her sister again.

Is it just me, or are graphics showcases/comparisons usually published by German sites? Kinda interesting.

dgroundwater5939d ago

Hmm they do like their high end stuff. Not that other places don't, but so many Crysis mods come out of there it's hard no to notice.

Simply beautiful.. Wish I had a decent vid card.

champ215940d ago

doesnt cost much, mw2 or any console multiplat can be maxxed out with a 150usd gpu and you recover the money with afew games bought.

if you already have a dual core cpu rig its a very good investment.

could upgrade to a 4890 or gtx275 both are awesome cards and can play multiplat games at 2560*1600(thats 3x the current console hd standard)

tplarkin75940d ago

I need to see the 360 vs PC maxed out side-by-side. Otherwise, I could not tell the difference.

Letros5940d ago

Why did they downscale the images, show off that stuff at 1920 x 1200 or something.

I'd love to see a high resolution texture mod for MWF2.

El_Colombiano5940d ago

There isn't much to be said about MW2 but Mass Effect 2 looks amazing maxed out.

Bro missing companions: Legion, Grunt, Samara/Morinth, Javik, EDI

anast528d ago

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

RiseNShine528d ago

To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.

anast528d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman528d ago

some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier

anast528d ago

Liam lol I can't stand that dude.

IAMRealHooman527d ago

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave776d ago (Edited 776d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.
