I’m testing Siege out on a mixture of old and new hardware – my Core i7 2600K CPU is no longer bleeding-edge tech, but coupled with an overclocked Asus Matrix GTX 980 ti it’s unlikely to sweat it. The good times are here to stay, frame rate neurotics! And the best news of all: it has an in-game benchmark so you can assess your system’s performance without having to run around a public map trying to replicate the exact way you got shot last time for an accurate fps readout. Also, it looks really nice.Įncouragingly, the overall fidelity level remains quite high even at low graphical settings.
Real Blast assigns different destuction properties to different materials wood splinters when it’s shot at, drywall throws up chalky powder, and bullet penetration is modelled in detail to affect velocity and direction.
Anvil Next powered the last two Assassin’s Creeds, with mixed results (although Syndicate runs much better on PC than Unity). That comes as a result of Ubisoft’s Anvil Next game engine and Real Blast destruction tech joining forces.
Siege does still have impressive environmental destruction in its repertoire though, likewise impressive explosion and smoke effects. The hostage animation, surface reflection quality, debris density and detail are all clearly of a lower fidelity in the final game, but unfortunately we’re becoming used to seeing that in triple-A development. It should be noted that no matter how far you slide the graphics sliders, the game never magically takes on the appearance of that E3 2014 reveal trailer. However as with Ubisoft’s other recent major release, Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, there’s a good deal of scalability within the engine so you can really give your GPU a hard time in the name of imperceptibly ‘better’ anti-aliasing. And right enough, the low barrier for entry in the game’s minimum and recommended system specs reflect that mindset. It’s also a fairly simple game in terms of visual effects, so on paper Ubisoft Montreal’s job is simple: make it look better than CS:GO, but keep the system demands reasonable. R6 Siege’s chief opponent is, of course, Counter-Stike: Global Offensive, a game you can get running at a smooth 1080p/60fps on your watch.
Tested on a Intel i7-2600K GHz, 16 GB of RAM, Asus ROG Matrix GeForce GTX 980 ti, Windows 10. You need that 60fps, and we’ll show you how easily it’s obtained. With the game now out, all you really want to know is: how does it run? Smooth 60fps gameplay is borderlane mandatory in multiplayer shooters, so analysing R6 Siege’s engine performance isn’t simply an excercise in nitpicking or graphics card elitism.
But never mind the particulars of its tactical cat-and-mouse multiplayer FPS stylings, or the vast array of online functionality.
