Just Cause 2 maxed out visual quality

PCGH has high quality screenshots of the Just Cause 2 PC version. They shot the game at maximum quality with the additional CUDA effects on a Geforce GTX 480 and also applied Sparse Grid Supersampling Anti-Aliasing, which is actually not supported by the GTX 480 officially.

The screenshots reveal the visual differences between the PC and console version of Just Cause 2.

bu bu bu ati radeon users lol?

there are many geforce-only effects in this game

EpsilonTeam5782d ago (Edited 5782d ago )

Only two filters on water nothing else. They even use Havok instead of physx.

Ocelot5255782d ago

that would be a massive difference for lens of truth in a x360 vs PS3 comparison :p

Akagi5782d ago

Bu-bu-bu-bu-bu consoles are older. I'm surprised it doesn't look THAT much better than the console version.

ProjectVulcan5782d ago

It looks rather lovely with everything turned on. Its not extremely demanding either, the main cuplrit here is SSAO. Turning that on to high hurts performance the most, but also for the least image quality impact IMO so its no big to leave it off or down

Douwantit5782d ago (Edited 5782d ago )

That video card alone cost more than my PS3. And the funny thing is i would have the exact same fun playing either version. And it's not really all that impressive, PC version that is.

iamgoatman5782d ago

@Akagi

I'm still using a 8800GT, a card released in 2007 and that easily outperforms any console.

But I guess we can't hold it against the consoles, they were outdated even at launch.

BloodyNapkin5782d ago

OMG not again. At least you think it does. Considering you don't have the game first off, cause it would bring your 8800 to a crawl. And secondly you have not played it on a console. And last but not least console outdated at launch, you think Blu-ray is/was outdated?

ProjectVulcan5782d ago (Edited 5782d ago )

Runs fine on a 8800GT. I have played it on console, both consoles to be precise and you can get playable higher settings from a single 8800GT, at the very least much higher resolution.

A single 8800GT is a 750 million transistor GPU, which is more than the CPU and GPU's combined of either PS3 or 360. RSX/xenos are about 220/240 Gflops. One 8800GT is about 500Gflops. So he doesnt just think it easily outperforms them. He knows it does

yep there is but thats just advantage paying more at the momment nivida charging to much for there dx11 cards if they went down a bit i would buy one my self but at the momment those little extras are not worth the money

Gish5782d ago

not sure why this game is so beautiful in-game and looks like crap in the cutscenes. Usually is the other way around.

MetalFreakMike5782d ago

Hmm.... lets see now. Buy a overpriced Nvidia card that makes a lot of heat and sucks up a lot of power or a ATI card that does not make as much heat, takes less power and is also a directx 11 part. This must be a hard choice for people to make.

MetalFreakMike5782d ago

No, someone that is tired of hearing Nvidia fanboys talk trash on ATI products. I do not care what brand of video cards you like. I like AMD products and I am allowed to voice my opinion just like everyone else on this site.

EpsilonTeam5782d ago (Edited 5782d ago )

The problem is that for many reasons enthusiasts go nVIDIA.

ian725782d ago

Its going to look better on PC. This game looks nice played on my PS3 and HDTV, graphics are quite good for an open world game. I have no complaints at all about this game. Overall this game is great and loads of fun to play.

The Worst Guns in Video Games

These are the worst guns in video games. Unlike weapons that are useful and practical, these only take up space in your inventory.

Worst Games to 100% Complete

Being a completionist can be fun, but some games are more like chores than fun. Here are the worst games to 100% complete.

The Yakuza Games

Haha, yeah, currently over 100 hours into Yakuza 0. Considering going for 100% and well on the way but may not get there. Cat Fights are a real chore.

blackblades1152d ago

I use to be a trophy hunter, was getting around 20 to 30 platinums a year. Had a saying of Play-Beat-Platinum, play and enjoy the game like there wasn't no trophies, beat it and at least get 50% then look at them and see if I'll platinum and platinum it. I think death star was a pain, the servers was ending so i had to rush and play that for awhile none stop. NGs2 was hard because of that online trophy but easy if you had the partner that can do it for you while you grab the enemy attention. Grinding idk, death was grinding last one I had to grind for platinum literally 1 trophy needed was dungeon travler or something vita gave up on it. After that I stop trophy hunting get like a 1 platinum a year or 0.

Knushwood Butt1152d ago

Yeah, if I enjoy a game I usually go for the platinum unless there are some unreasonable trophies in there.

For Yakuza 0 I've invested too much time in it to give up just yet and most of the content is good fun, apart from Cat Fighting which is broken and dull after a couple of fights.

DarXyde1152d ago

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 was literally the last platinum I got on PS3. After that, I went into PS4 kinda deflated and getting them where it felt appropriate.

I genuinely HATED that platinum, but it was a personal challenge I took upon myself. It was a lot of "get 1,000 kills with [insert weapon]" and it got to be a bit tedious. Master Ninja really pissed me off, but the WORST which you alluded to was that bloody Gold trophy for missions that you needed to do online because the AI was useless and got wrecked in moments. I jumped on the game a bit late so I struggled with finding a partner for at least 1.5 months. After that, I burned out hard with trophy hunting. I still came back for games I really enjoyed (Bloodborne, Dark Souls III, Nier: Automata, and a few others that escape me) and low hanging fruit that was just a bit time consuming and I didn't want to buy new games at the time (Final Fantasy XV). Total, it becomes clear where I taper off since I've only plat'ed 33 games since there inception of trophies which really isn't much.

Screw Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 lol. That game was pure nightmare fuel.

blackblades1152d ago

I say never force getting a platinum, its not worth the trouble definitely if it costing you to waste time on chore like grind. Those brainless design trophies.

hotnickles1152d ago

Dead rising was the worst one I’ve ever tried. I haven’t tried it with the modern console “rest mode” but the 360 didn’t have that.

Duke191152d ago (Edited 1152d ago )

Was GTa4 the on where you had to collect a shit ton of pigeons around the map and there was no help in finding them?

roadkillers1151d ago

Yep. I’d say GTASA was more difficult since there were so many collectibles

Profchaos1151d ago

The saving grace was that there was only on average 50 collectables with the two exceptions being graffiti and oysters from memory horseshoes and photos were capped at 50 each.

But for me it was all the other grind that was way more painful in SA like the car export lists which even with guides took way longer than collecting stuff

iivGHOST1151d ago

There was a guide book that came out with the game that had all the pigeons in it. I actually still have it

Chocoburger1152d ago

One of the more recent games I got a Platinum in was Killzone: Mercenary for Vita. What a crap game, that requires so much terrible grinding.

Awful game, awful experience.

outsider16241151d ago

Oh man..wish i could get a vita. I've been trying to get a preowned too(in my country) but no luck.

CantThinkOfAUsername1152d ago

I can vouch for Just Cause 2. It was the reason I quit achievement hunting. 86 hours in, the game bugged on me during one of the last side quests (it failed no matter what I did) and my save file got corrupted. Wiped it off my drive and never looked back.

SonyStyled1151d ago

I downloaded the ‘complete edition’ or whatever it was called for $2 about 7yrs ago in hopes of trophy hunting it for a platinum. It always sounded fun and I would like to commit time to it but not enough for a platinum trophy
