Feels so lazy to blog these days. But anyway, here is a gameplay video of Call of Duty Black Ops on Nvidia Geforce GT540M and Core i7 2630QM. I'm running the game at 1366x768, with my texture settings being set to extra.
I disabled shadows and anti aliasing for smoother gameplay. Its a recording from the Theatre Mode, yes, I'm legit for this. Getting a smooth framerate of 50 - 70 FPS. I also managed to complete the single player without any lag with the graphic settings mentioned.
This is the first time ever EA shows Battlefield 3 gameplay on consoles. It looks pretty good on a console so far. But the dude is using a red dot attachment as opposed to the ACOG in the PC demo. Lack of shadows and decals are obvious. Sony, just fucking announce PlayStation 4 on E3 next year. I doubt if PS3 has better gpu than the upcoming Wii U.
What was shown on the night was a PS3 exclusive preview into a previous seen level from the Battlefield 3 Fault Line series. In this video, Kevin O'Leary and another EA Games employee played a PS3 version of Battlefield 3, showing not only new menus, but a little more of the campaign, and how the game will feel, in they eyes of a noob.
Oh well, Battlefield 3 will outsell Modern Warfare 3 this fall, I'm pretty sure. Bobby Kotick is such an asshole for insulting Battlefield 3. He's probably afraid of Battlefield 3 victorious.
While everyone was impressed with Battlefield 3 at E3 — where the game walked away with several awards — Activision CEO Bobby Kotick wasn’t one of them.
In an interview with business network CNBC, Kotick challenged Battlefield 3 on the console front, saying what’s been shown so far has only been on the PC, whereas most of the business is on the console side. Kotick said,
“So far I’ve only seen Battlefield 3 on a PC, I haven’t seen it on a console where the bulk of the business is. If it’s just a PC title, as it looks like today, that’s just a small audience to participate.”
Battlefield 3 was only playable on the PC at E3, while a PS3 version was shown behind closed doors. The Xbox 360 version wasn’t shown at all, with DICE saying it simply wasn’t ready. As for Modern Warfare 3, BF3′s main competitor, it too was mostly shown behind closed doors at E3, where very few got a chance to actually play it.
Despite this, Kotick’s words aren’t surprising: Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3 will go head to head this Fall, and like to heavyweight champions, what we’re seeing now are just the pre-fight smack talking.
As promised, I'll be showing you some gameplay videos of BulletStorm. I'd personally recommend you to watch in 720p HD so that you'll be able to see the full graphics details and so on. This game runs pretty smooth on my laptop, Acer Aspire 5750G laptop. I'm running at 1360x768 resolution, with everything on high, except that I disabled the Anti Aliasing and Post Processing for smoother framerate. I'm getting 40 - 60 FPS. Note that I've got random freezes during the game, its basically a console ported game and it doesn't run so well if you have a mid range card like me. But overall, I enjoy this game and it's a good game ofcourse.
In these gameplay videos, I was recording them at a resolution of 1280x600. That was back then when I have not updated my driver. Please update your Nvidia Driver for better performance. Yeap, seriously. Anyway, here are the videos.
Based on NotebookCheck Review on this laptop, one of the reviews caught my attention before I bought this laptop. It says, If you don't want to pay a high price for a high-end processor like the Sandy Bridge Core i7, the Aspire 5750G is a way to get the performance and reasonable battery life, without breaking the budget. You're not paying for unusually fancy design (although we think the blue case is stylish) and you're getting most of what you need, including a decent keyboard and good graphics. The screen is slightly disappointing and we'd like to see more than one USB 3.0 port, but it had the rest of the spec to match the processor you'd be paying rather more than this. This notebook makes Core i7 definitely affordable.
Yes, indeed. This laptop is the best bang for buck. If and only if you trust in Acer products. I've been using Acer laptops since Year 2008. My old laptop was using a Core 2 Duo T6500 2.1GHz and Nvidia Geforce G105M Graphic. Now, my sister is still using it. No problems so far. It shows that Acer laptop can actually have a very long life span if we take care of it a lot.
Now, let's get back to the topic. This laptop was actually an impulse buy because it was a gift from my parents as I achieved Straight A in my SPM. That was funny. I was requesting for a PS3 but then, I changed my mind to buy this 5750g instead. I need it for college life. Bought it at RM2899 and the laptop comes with a lot of free gifts.
I don't experience heat problems with my laptop. After gaming for one hour, Battlefield Bad Company 2 or Call of Duty Black Ops, I can feel heat on the left palm rest area. This is normal because my friend's XPS 15 is also experiencing the same thing. GT540M is just good enough to run latest games at high resolutions and medium settings. In my opinion, GT540M users should turn off some eye candy graphics settings in games, for examples, Shadows, AA, Motion Blur, Post Processing. This is to ensure a pretty smooth frame rate when playing new games at high resolutions.
I will be updating this blog with gameplay reviews and settings with this laptop's graphic card. Anyway, more photos here. Thats all from me. I suck at writing reviews. K thanks.
