Watch Dogs 2 PC requirements unveiled

Oct 19, 2016, 15:32 Fyra Frost

Ubisoft has delayed the launch of Watch Dogs 2 on its PC version moving it to November 29. It will be just a couple of weeks later than the appointed date for the release of the game for consoles (November 15) and the reason given for this delay is no other than the “additional polish” that has become so usual nowadays. It’s not surprising that they want to make sure that the game runs properly on different machines, because they have promised the game will have no frame rate cap and support several configurations with 4K resolution for multiple monitors, and multiple GPUs via both Nvidia SLI and AMD CrossFire. Aside from the great graphics improvements, Watch Dogs 2 will include many more gameplay options and additional features that make the game much more fluid. You can watch them in the following video.

Oct 1, 2016, 20:16 Fyra Frost

It’s becoming quite common that the developers of FPS games neglect or even don’t include a single player campaign on their games and focus all the efforts on multiplayer modes. Uninteresting storylines plague many of the latest titles of the genre, mainly because it would seem that the majority of the players just focus on competitive PvP. But, is it not possible to get both a thrilling storyline and great multiplayer action? Mark Lamia, Head of Treyarch studio thinks that you can get the best of the two worlds and he proves it with Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 story trailer. Official Call of Duty®: Black Ops III – Story Trailer As excited as we are about Multiplayer, we’re also working hard on Zombies and Campaign too. Without a doubt, this story is the most ambitious that we’ve ever undertaken”, explains Lamia. “The Black Ops III campaign opens up possibilities never before seen in the franchise. Customize your character and join with up to four friends for furious online co-op action. With larger environments, overhauled AI, and full progression systems, we’ve designed the campaign to be a re-playable and evolving experience.” Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 will transport you to a dark future where you are a member of a new breed of soldiers. Science advances make diffuse the line between humanity and technology, and in this new world you go back to the scenario of an old conflict, the Cold War, searching for your missing brothers. But there are things that may be better left unknown, and discovering them might be even more unsettling than not. You will be the one to decide if the truth is worth it. The game will be available on November 6th for PC, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Playstation 4 and Playstation 3. The post Call of Duty: Black Ops 3’s campaign mode revealed appeared first on .

Those that pre-order the digital versions of the game will be able to play the campaign one month ahead of the release, on October 5. But the multiplayer modes won’t unlock until Infinite Warfare’s is ready in November 4.
