‘Modern Combat 5: Blackout’ Previewed with New Graphical Enhancements!

Continuing on with the development of Modern Combat 5: Blackout, it appears to be moving pretty rapidly, especially here in the last couple weeks. With that being said, Gameloft has revealed some special details on their latest and greatest graphical technology that they will be implementing into the game. What is apparently called "Screen Space Ambient Occlusion", or SSAO for short, is a rendering technique that results in more realistic shadows in occluded areas, therefore making the game look better overall. To see this in action, check out the GIF above as well as our gallery by clicking here. Just before you thought that was all, there\'s a lot more you can look forward to. As listed below, it\'s a full list of other graphical enhancements Modern Combat 5: Blackout will feature once it becomes available to download. If things continue at the rate they are going, we hope to see the game out sometime late Summer or early Fall.

• Eye adaptation and bloom -- exposure adjusts in a more realistic manner when moving between light and dark areas.


• Soft particles -- improved interactions of particles with surrounding geometry.


• Underwater distort and caustics -- reproduces realistic water effects.


• Read-time character shadows -- characters cast shadows on geometry in real time.


• Heat-haze -- air distortion due to muzzle heating after shooting.


• Depth of Field -- cinematic effect that makes the background appear out of focus so that certain characters or objects in the foreground step more into focus.


• More: Reflection ground, Color correction, Specular effects and so on.

Just as always, we\'ll be sure to keep you updated as time progresses and be sure to check out the other articles in relation to Modern Combat 5: Blackout.
