what's up internet Kevin here with my weekly news update now this past week was a little light in terms of game announcements for pretty justifiable reasons we just got over III so a lot of the companies have really exhausted their options for game announcements right now but we still got a lot of interesting developments this past week in here are the highlights to begin with starting the week off was the revelation that watch dogs not only still contains all the files for those pre visuals we saw back in III 2012 but if you're on PC they're even still usable this was first discovered on guru3d but was made popular thanks to neogaf when modders only discovered the file inside the watchdogs client but also found how to unlock it this raises a lot of questions for a lot of fans that purchased watchdogs on launch day and we're surprised to find the game did not have the kind of visuals we originally promised two years ago Ubisoft has made a statement on their own website arguing that these files were intentionally left unused because they led the performance issues that would ruin the games experience there have been some reports on the internet that people have tried the mod out and have it had a negative impact on the game they appear to be a minority there's a lot more people reporting that they're trying the mod out and getting the same if not even better performance than they were with the unmodded version I myself have been trying it out and have noticed frame rates comparable to the game before modding on ultra settings while still showing an obvious improvement in numerous environmental effects like lighting fog and reflections there have been a lot of arguments being raised on the in it from people questioning whether or not you be soft intentionally weakened the pc version to make it more comparable to the console one though it is also entirely possible that is simply was something that was not fully tested and even though the game was pushed back a full six months still wasn't ready for launch and so they simply restricted the files thus why some people trying the mod might be experiencing those issues now second up on the more business side of things Capcom is now open to buy out to anyone interested in buying majority shares it was announced this past Tuesday that Capcom chose not to renew its takeover defense policies that have been in state since 2008 what this basically means is that before whenever someone wanted to buy stocks from Capcom and had to go through a rigorous verification and approval process so that Capcom could deny it so other companies couldn't buy them out well it turns out that at this past investor meeting it was voted that they not renew these policies and as a result people can now purchase Capcom if they are able to buy up the majority shares this news comes a day after the announcement that one of Capcom's most the directors oh no resigned from his position at capcom vancouver now what this all means for the future of capcom is still very much in the dark you could find a lot of different arguments and articles online talking about who should by Capcom or who's most likely to buy cap comment for what reasons but as of right now there really is no official news yet on what exactly is going to happen other than the fact that it is now a possibility last up for today's news summer has officially started not only did the season begin yesterday but there's a lot of gaming related events to help kick things off and celebrate it to begin with steam did begin its annual summer sale meaning a lot of us are going to be spending a lot of money we shouldn't on an absolutely crazy amount of games that we would probably spend a combined total of twenty minutes playing but on a more interesting note today marks the beginning of the charity event summer games done quick now for those you that are unfamiliar with this event this is a biannual event in which a lot of popular speedrunning personalities are going to be playing a whole bunch of games 24-7 for the next week starting today through Saturday and all donations from which are going to go towards Doctors
