Valorant: Riot Games Optimizes For Low-End Computers

Director Lasse Hallstrom’s **Salmon Fishing In Yemen ** cracked the top ten, despite playing in less than 500 locations. Ewan McGregor stars in the film which grossed $1.2 million over the weekend, taking its gross to $3.1 million, a number which should swell in the coming we


Turns out Riot Games' latest class-based first-person shooter, **Valorant ** , is optimized for high performance on even the lowest-end PC rigs. With exciting news floating around the gaming community after Valorant guide|https://valorantfocus.com/'s latest press release, gamers are readying themselves for its summer 2020 release d


Unlike most other military films, Valor starred real SEALs conducting missions, many of which were based on true stories. But these military heroes didn’t abandon their duties or become celebrities after making the film. In fact, as Denver told me, these SEALs have gone back into action since the film finished shooting. He no


Riot Games' mindful design comes at a time where PC games are pushing for the next bigger and better peripheral. Game design has become ever more complicated , making triple-A titles unplayable at times for low-end computers and non-gaming laptops. The ability of Valorant to perform well on a wide range of computers is smart because it greatly widens the demographic. Not all PC gamers , especially on the younger side of the spectrum, have access to top-of-the-line gaming equipment . Creating a game with high-quality visual design and attractive gameplay is one thing, but making it accessible in an industry where a huge gap in hardware exists is a whole task in and of itself. These specifications give a general idea of what's needed to play **Valorant ** . However, the true test of Riot's claim will come during the game's closed b


**The Hunger Games ** held off competition from Sam Worthington and Julia Roberts and retained the top spot at the box office . The Jennifer Lawrence starrer grossed $61.1 million over the weekend, a number that ups its cume to a fantastic $251 million. The production budget for the film is a reported $78 million, so this is a major success for Lionsgate, especially considering that The Hunger Games has crossed $364 million worldw


Recently, more information about what sort of skins players can expect from Valorant at launch has come to light. According to a video from Qwixzo , the YouTube channel of IGN Nordic staffer Nick Nijland, Riot is adding a weapon skin to Valorant based on Urf the manatee. Urf is a joke character that Riot claimed was going to be added to the game as part of an April Fool’s Day joke, but has instead become the mascot of League of Legends ’ Ultra Rapid Fire mode. Qwixzo reports that the Urf skins will be based on the appearance of NERF g


Act of Valor focuses on a team of Navy SEALs working to prevent a massive terrorist attack on U.S. soil. Although the movie wasn’t well-received by critics, both audiences and many real-life Navy SEALs appreciated it. Waugh said that the reactions he’s received—and the film’s success—have been "really humbling." He described some of the encounters he's had since Act of Valor 's rele


Stunt coordinators-turned directors Mike McCoy and Scott Waugh's feature-length debut, **Act of Valor ** , was an ambitious undertaking that required the duo to work alongside cast members who possess real-world experience serving as Navy SEALs. The movie was heralded by military families and servicemen for bringing a greater sense of realism to the action and combat sequences (compared to the average Hollywood military ops thriller); however, its video game-like story progression and character interactions left many critics and non-military types with more lukewarm feelings ( read our review , for examp


I also spoke to Waugh and Denver about their favorite military films. Waugh noted that his favorite was Apocalypse Now , calling it Francis Ford Coppola's " masterpiece " and adding that it was the " quintessential war movie ." Denver noted that he also loved that film alongside other great war films like Platoon and Saving Private Ry


For that reason, those who're interested in watching a down n' dirty thriller about what life is like on the violent streets of America - for the officers who put their lives on the line fighting crime - might be better served by a film like David Ayer's End of Watch (yes, that drama/thriller deals with regular cops and not SWAT team members). As for those who're searching for a promising new movie about Navy SEALs, director Peter Berg's true-story project Lone Survivor is just a few months awa


They also spoke out about the criticism that the movie received as a recruiting tool for the military. Denver said that he " wouldn’t really put a lot of stock in " such critiques, adding that if young men and women see the movie and decide to sign up to be members of the military, " the country, I think, would be better for it ." Waugh was more direct in his thoughts, adding that, " if you think sacrifice is a recruitment video, then obviously [you] completely misconceive about what that word mean
