Heroes Of Loot Game Play

Batman: Arkham Origins Gets PhysX Nvidia Demo

It seems that NVIDIA and Warner Bros. wanted to let players know what PhysX will be bringing to Batman: Arkham Origins, so they have released a new gameplay trailer showing off just that. From Batman’s cape to the smoke and steam Batman moves through, playing with PhysX seems to make a big difference.

Giving a comparison of Batman: Arkham Origins with and without NVIDIA’s PhysX, the video shows exactly what players can expect. With it set to off, the gameplay is a much more flat experience everything looking pretty static, but with it turned on suddenly there is a whole lot more going on, especially in terms of atmosphere. Sure, most of these things are tiny details, but for those that love that kind of thing, turned on seems the way to go.

Those wanting to see the comparison for themselves can watch the trailer embedded below. Batman: Arkham Origins is set to release October 25th, 2013 for Xbox 360, PS3, Wii U, and PC.

Titanfall’s Multiplayer Campaign Showcased

Titanfall-Screen-02

Titanfall was one of the games announced for the Xbox One that really got people excited. Modern first person shooter elements combined with giant mech suits just sounds like an absolute dream come true. The Xbox exclusive game has definitely been a massive draw for the console, with many FPS fans eager to give it a try.

Today, EA Games have put up the latest video for the game. This video is hosted by FTW (EA’s youtube channel) and features interviews with the game’s producer Drew McCoy from this year’s Gamescom conference (additional footage was also shown at the conference, which you can check out here). The video although short, shows off some new footage of the game, showcasing a lot of the multiplayer campaign elements that players can expect when the game launches next year.

Check out the video below, and let us know what you think about Titanfall. Are you excited to jump into a mech suit and blast your opponents away?

Or neither? either way we want to know what you think so let us know in the comments below, and remember to stay tuned to Capsule Computers for all the Titanfall news as it becomes available.

Since the addition of its free-to-play option back in November, EA and BioWare’s Star Wars: The Old Republic has continued to grow with each update, and with update 2.4: The Dread War, new 4v4 Player-vs-Player (PvP) Warzone Arenas are being added.

Coming on October 2nd, The Dread War will allow players to travel to Oricon in the epic finale to the Dread Masters’ twisted saga by braving two new Level 55 Operations: The Dread Fortress and The Dread Palace. There’s no better time than now to join the battle as BioWare has made the game even more accessible, implementing BitRaider streaming to allow players into the action faster with a dramatically smaller initial download. And starting today, all subscribers who join or re-join the fight will automatically receive the game’s first digital expansion – Rise of the Hutt Cartel – for free.

Also featured is AlienAdrenaline, a custom game and application launcher, a system performance optimiser and a performance monitoring tool, as well as AlienFusion advanced power management and Thermal and Active Venting controls.
