PCGH made a technical review of Aliens vs. Predator for PC, DX11 powered action game. They looked at image quality (especially at DX11 exklusive features like AA, tessellation and shadows) and they also provide some benchmarks.
In the first part of our series we took a look at the inception of horror games. Now we delve deeper and see how they evolved throughout the decades.
"Ever since Xbox One backward compatibility was announced, gamers have been asking for a few high-profile games. While the majority of requests revolve around the Call of Duty franchise, the Aliens and Sonic franchises have been other hot series. Today, Microsoft announced that Aliens vs. Predator, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, and Sonic Unleashed are now backward compatible."
Kingdoms of Amalur was brilliant. Never did get a sequel because all the crap that happened after with the IP.
It looks as though the 2010 first person shooter, Aliens vs Predator might become a Xbox Backwards Compatible title soon based on its revamped Xbox Store product page.
Been playing the shit out of it on PS3. Hopefully this gives the game another lease of life. Such an underrated game imho.
Hmmm....a 40% performance drop on using Tessallation and advanced shadows? So far, I have yet to see the highly anticipated "performance boost" from using DX11. Makes me wonder if upgrading now to a DX11 enabled card is worth the extra cost. It seems the current hardware is still too measly to handle DX11 features.
that's laughable
I mean the difference is just so low even on a picture that I wouldn't even bother playing DX11. Better keep the 58xx performance to get a good DX9/10 performance
this is whats holding be back from upgrading my 5750 to 5970 dx11 seems make little difference and be to much hit on performace. maybe its just developers think we need good developers working on a dx11 game and we might see sone real diffrence.
but I can not see the difference, not the game that this clear, but between a demented and insane, do not believe there are human beings who live this way, feeding it, fighting for it, and still living among us
this sucks.
was thinking of upgrading to the 5000 series to play this game in DX11. Forget it now. Performance is terrible.
I think i'll hang on to my 4890 a while longer.
