Ainda não havia tópico nesta secção, portanto aqui fica. O primeiro era um bom FPS que passou algo despercebido, mas quem o jogou sabe a sua qualidade. Esperemos que este esteja pelo menos ao mesmo nível.

Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood is an upcoming western FPS developed by Techland and published by Ubisoft. It's a prequel to Call of Juarez and will be released in Summer 2009.

Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood transports players from a ravaged Civil War-era Georgia to the Aztec ruins of Mexico. In the wildest West ever depicted, players can embody both McCall brothers - Ray (making a return from the original game) and Tom - in an intense Wild West storyline full of greed, lust and lawlessness that takes place during a legendary period of American history.

Por acaso gostei bastante do 1º (e o multiplayer era surpreendentemente bom), por isso aguardo com expectativa esta sequela
 
Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood - Graphics card benchmarks and quality settings compared

Bound in Blood is based on the Chrome Engine 4. The DirectX 9 Deferred Renderer supports almost any modern graphics technology like HDR, Per Pixel Lighting, subsurface Scattering, Wet Surfaces, Virtual Displacement Mapping, Soft Shadows, Depth of Field, Cloth Simulation, volumetric clouds and Motion Blur. Furthermore a Edge Anti Aliasing (a Deferred Render doesn't allow Multisampling based Anti aliasing in DirectX 9) is calculated by the Shader ALUs. The effect gained from this is visually similar to MSAA (since only polygons are smoothed), but the quality varies: While some parts of the geometry are smoothed out very well (similar to AMD's 24x ED-CFAA), the technology also fails in certain situations.

Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood also convinces with more than the graphics: Extensive outdoor levels with dense vegetation including small animals like birds or spiders, detailed and well animated character models, atmospheric lighting, many particles and cinematic Post Processing effects. Only the bitmap background and a few washy textures lower the otherwise excellent impression.
In order to find out which 3D Accelerator is best for Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood we test a sequence in front of the McCall mansion. With several opponents, a big explosion and lots of gunfire this is a quite challenging scene in the game. At this point we would like to note that the Chrome Engine 4 automatically applies 16:1 Anisotropic Filtering if the game is set to maximal details - this tends to cause more flickering and banding on Radeons than on Geforces.

At 1,280 x 1,024 a Radeon HD 3870 or a Geforce 9600 GT are fast enough to deliver a smooth framerate. But if the resolution is increased the game is, like most shooter games - suffering from an inaccurate input behavior if the less than 40 fps are reached. With a middle-class graphics card like the Geforce 8800 GT you can easily run 1,680 x 1,050 pixels - Radeon HD 4770 which cost about as much is even better and can place itself right below the GTX 260-216. With a Radeon HD 4870 or a Geforce GTX 275 Bound in Blood is running smooth even at 1,920 x 1,200 - with little disadvantages even on a Geforce GTX 260-216 or a Radeon HD 4850/HD 4770.
 
Humm, mas o jogo não é "patrocinado" pela Nvidia (eu sei que o primeiro era)? Então como é que as Radeon batem as GTX aos pontos? Não que eu me esteja a queixar mas acho estranho
 

Quando li que a edição de colecionador trazia um chapeu... depois lembrei-me polonia... e o preço... por momentos pensei que trazia mesmo um chapeu de cowboy... coisa que com alguma qualidade ficaria mais caro que o preço apresentado.
 
Apareceu-me um update ao steam. Depois do steam reiniciar apareceu-me aquela janela das news em que dizia isso que se fizesses a pre-compra, ofereciam o primeiro jogo para jogar AGORA.
Depois fui ver a pagina lá na loja e vi que nao dizia nada sobre isso (daí ter dito que "parece"). Reparei que saiu um novo trailler...

arrrgggg o jogo parece tao fixe... será que a minha x1400 dará?
sniff sniff :(
